The event saw cyclists from across Ontario, cycling 150 kilometres from Grand Bend to London and back again. This was the 14th year for the event and more than 680 cyclists and 100 vol- unteers were involved. Lori Anne McNulty, senior manager of fundraising events for the MS Society was extremely happy with the results. "It's unbelievable how the event has grown — especially over the past few years. We've grown by about 200 cyclists since 2003," she said. Joanne Hendrix of Forest has participated in the event for the past six years and her sister, Margaret Romphf of Grand Bend has joined on the trek from Grand Bend to London for the past three years. Hendrix said she initially got involved because their father had MS and would encourage others to par- ticipate. "I love it," she said. "It's absolutely wonderful and organized wonderfully ." Tour leaders Shaun and Vicki Calcatt of St. Thomas say they have met a lot of people through their participa- tion in the event, including people who have multiple sclerosis. Shaun has been cycling in the tour for 12 years and Vicki joined in the fundraising cause six years ago. "It's a lot of fun," Vicki said. "You get to see a lot of the same people every year." She said it sounds like a long distance to cycle, but with the stops along the way organized by the MS Society, it makes it go quickly. Cyclists were able to stop for a rest and refreshments at five checkpoints on the jour- ney from Port Blake Conservation Area to UWO Saugeen Maitland Hall. In addition to funding research, the MS Society provides services for peo- ple who have MS as well as family members, care- givers and health care professionals. Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable, at times disabling, disease of the central nervous system — the brain and spinal cord. For unknown reasons, the body's immune system malfunctions and starts attacking the myelin which protects the central nervous system. The result may be symp- toms such as visual distur- bances, extreme fatigue, balance problems and altered sensation. The average age of diag- nosis is 30, but cases of MS have also been diag- nosed in childhood, as well as in people in their 50s. More information on multiple sclerosis and the RONA MS Bike Tour is available by calling 519- 680-7878 or 1-888-510- 7777, or visiting www.msbiketours.com. Juniors stymied at plate for two games CREDITON - The Crediton junior girls fastball team was stymied at the plate for two games last week. A slow start for both games with the lack of bats caused the team's demise. Crediton 0 vs Dorchester Sportswear 7 Allowing four runs in the first inning usually means a small obstacle for the junior team to get over but last week, that obstacle was too large to overcome. Crediton could not seem to score runs leaving 12 players on the bases throughout the game. The Dorchester squad is a very talented group of fastball players who showed their aggressive- ness and skill through- out the whole game. Amber Preszcator led her team at the plate with a double and single, Jessica Bray had two singles while single hits apiece came from the bats of Megan Preszcator, Kelli Fulton, Margaret Geurts, Annette Grotentraast and Carrie Dixon. Rachel Michielsen started on the mound going three innings with strong relief from Carrie Shuffleboard h e n s a l l 20 July 2004 Joe Regier Edna Deitz Donna Smale Theo Vandenboom Al Hoggarth Merle McLellan Willy Hoornaert Doris Hamilton 535 485 468 465 464 441 440 436 Dixon who notched two strikeouts. Crediton 0 vs Oakridge 7 Mental errors and quiet bats seemed to be the reasons for Crediton's scoreless loss against Oakridge. Allowing three runs in the first inning again seemed to be an obstacle the local squad could not overcome. Megan Preszcator led her team at the plate Kline Klassic MICHIGAN — The Kline Klassic was held again recently in Gaylord, Michigan. Overcoming 72 holes of giant undulating greens and drastic elevation change at the panoramic Treetops resort, past champions Dave Holtzmann and Richard Schilbe battled each other from start to finish, end- ing in a tie and settling for co -champion status. Newcomer to Exeter Adam Skillen fmished one stroke short in his bid for the championship trophy. Congratulations to all 68 players who finished the endurance event. Special mention goes to Exeter native Mark McLlwain who aced the Par three 167 eight hole on opening day. This years tournament was dedicated to the memory of Phil Overholt, a great champion. with a double and a sin- gle while the only single hits came from the bats of Janelle Dykstra, Amber Preszcator, Jessica Bray, Carrie Dixon and Katelyn Squire. Carrie Dixon went the distance in pitcher's position notching two strikeouts. The Crediton team meets Byron and the Dorchester Intermed- iates this week.
