The tournament at Tillsonburg will feature 16 teams in a double knockout format. Exeter plays its first game against Pt. Hope Friday at 3 p.m. Fulop said the Express players have high expecta- tions as they see themselves as one of the stronger teams in the field. "Three regulars were out of the lineup for the latter part of the playoff series against Tillsonburg." Fulop said this includes pitcher -fielder Dan Masse and two outfielders Adam Leppington and Nate Burns. He said all three will hopefully be ready for the tour- nament. Fulop added the Express players also see the fielding problems in the last game of the playoff with Tillsonburg as being unlikely to happen again. They point out that pitching has been the best part of the team as there are seven good starting pitchers that can be called on. Fulop provided a look at the team as it heads into the tournament: The two aces have been Derek Masse and Chris Gosnell. They are backed by Dan Masse, Brian MacLeod, Curtis Meyers, Terry Hogg and Rob Burk. This does not include relievers Bobbie Grant, Lonnie Hawke, Burns and Leppington who could surface in the fmal games. Exeter hitters have done the job with the leading ones being Grant, Burk, Burns, Aaron Patterson, Leppington, Justin Hayter and Tim Eifert. And Dan Masse, Vic Oliveira and the ageless Hawke have consistently come through in tournament play every year, Fulop said. Hogg has surprised everyone with his excellent defensive plays and an improving batting average. Gosnell and MacLeod are expected to break out of slumps. The defense is anchored by catcher Grant, who ranks as the best player on the team. The infield is normally strong with Patterson leading Argument leads to charges SOUTH HURON — During the early morning hours of Aug. 20 two men continued an argument at a South Huron apartment building that had begun earlier in the night. When the two men were separated, one decided to punch out the win- dow of an access door to the build- ing. After investigating the incident, the Huron OPP has charged a 34 - year -old South Huron man with mis- chief under $5,000. He will appear in Exeter Court Oct. 23 to answer to his charge. Spotlight on Special People THIS WEEK, MCDONALDS RESTAURANT IS CELEBRATING PEOPLE DAYS. THIS IS A WEEK WE DEDICATE TO OUR VALUED EMPLOYEES. WE TAKE THIS CHANCE TO LET OUR EMPLOYEES KNOW JUST HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE ALL THEY DO EACH AND EVERY DAY AND THIS WEEK IS ALL ABOUT THEM. WE HAVE MANY EVENTS PLANNED FOR THE WEEK AND WE WILL BE DISPLAYING OUR STAFF ACHIEVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE RESTAURANT. MCDONALDS EMPLOYS OVER 100 PEOPLE BETWEEN OUR EXETER AND GODERICH STORES AND WE WOULD LIKE TO HONOUR ONE WHO HAS BEEN WITH US SINCE THE EXETER STORE OPENED, PAM WALPER. Pam is a hard working employee at Exeter McDonalds since it opened in November 1993. Pam initially applied for a position with McDonalds as it gave her flexibility to arrange her hours around her bus driver's job. Over the years Pam has been trained as a grill person, a cashier, a drive thru person and she even tried out management. Despite the fact that she never imagined herself working for McDonalds for 14 years she continues to be a strong asset to the team. Her knowledge is valued by all, she is referred to as the "Mom" of the store as she has counseled many of our younger staff. She has observed many menu changes from serving the conventional Big Mac and Egg McMuffin to the specialty items incorporated in the "Healthy Choices" and "Value Picks" menus. Pam has become a popular employee among our regular customers who visit the restaurant daily not only for the good food but also for the great jokes told by Pam. Pam is a great team player, a role model and a fun person to work with. Pam you are a valued employee and we here at McDonalds appreciate you. To Pam and all of our great staff, thank you for all that you do! • the way. "His cohorts include slick fielding Hawke, the ultra - competitive Burk, smooth fielding Hayter and two excellent infielders in Hogg and MacLeod," Fulop adds. Unmentioned to date is Gosnell who could play any position on the field and be a regular. The outfield is steady and solid with five possibles in Leppington, Burns, Dan Masse, Oliveira and Eifert. Gosnell, MacLeod and Hogg can do the job here as well. Doug Fairbairn provides excellent management for the team, Fulop said. Fairbairn has expressed confidence in the ability of the team to win but is also concerned at the low turnout of players for practices. The team will have to win seven games over four days to win the tournament. 1111" -2-1-1111 5611 McGillivray Dr Lucan ON Health & Fitness 519-227-1820 FALL SESSIONS BOOTCAMP - 6 Weeks, Starting Sept. 15 through to Oct. 23.
