Harrow Fair attracts huge crowd
by Sylene Argent With an opportunity to interact with farm animals, enjoy live musical entertainment, and experience a thrilling midway, it is no surprise that the Harrow Fair organizers suspect the 2016 event participation was up. Brenda Anger is the President of the Harrow Fair Board. She has been a volunteer for the Board for many years, and has solicited interest in keeping the fair going with a list of volunteers. She was proud to explain
there are three generations of Angers volunteering for the Harrow Fair. “It’s been super,” Anger said of the Harrow Fair that took place over the Labour Day weekend. “Entries and memberships were up.” One reason Anger believes entries were up, aside from the great weather offered over the weekend, was that the Harrow Fair Board really promoted its participation incentive that offered a weekend pass to anyone who entered the fair as an entrant in one of its many
contests. The Harrow Fair offered many different contests with different categories for fairgoers, including various art forms, baked goods, and horse showing. Anger explained that this year there were around 200 more articles submitted into the quilt building alone. “Everything is up,” she said of entries. Members of several 4-H Clubs also hosted their Achievement Days onsite at the fair and its annual auction. She suspected that
the weekend festivities attracted between 60,000 and 65,000 fairgoers; a traffic count that she suspected would also be higher than what was attracted to the Fair in the past. A big change to the Fair this year was the change
in the parade route. Anger explained that the OPP made the recommendation for the change for safety purposes in regards to big equipment and trucks along the former route. The parade, she said,

had good attendance. A new addition to the Harrow Fair this year was the shade shelter that was installed nearing the show ring, where the 4-H members completed their Achievement Days. This allowed people to be protected from the hot sun, while they enjoyed the activities going on in the show ring. The Harrow Fair allows community members, and out-of-town visitors, a chance to “Experience agriculture,” Anger said. “We say it is ‘agriculture on display.’” Two horse shows were held over the Fair weekend. Sunday’s show was a Southern Ontario Trail Rider’s Club sanctioned show. Club members were able to compete in the fair to earn points towards end of the year awards. This local club offers classes for a variety of disciplines and riding ability, including in-hand, lead line, walk/jog, Western and English classic events, and timed events, such as barrel racing. To learn more about this club, log onto www.southernontariotrailriders. com. Fairgoers also got to greet several animals in the cattle barn and display areas, and even speak with the farmers

who raised them. This went along with the Fair theme, “Farmers’ Bounty.” Live musical entertainment over the four day event, included performances from country musician Ryan Bradley, Cold Creek Country, Wes Mack, and Dale Butler. “We had wonderful entertainment. We received a lot of positive remarks,” Anger said. One of the exciting activities hosted over the Harrow Fair weekend is the annual Brad & Joanne Stannard Memorial Pie Auction. Harrow Hometown Family Pharmacy took home the top earning pie, a cherry/rhubarb treat, for $3200. Overall, the Pie Auction, comprised of Harrow Fair judged pies, raised $16,055 for the John McGivney Children’s Centre. Anger explained that is the most the pie auction has ever raised. Last year’s pie auction raised nearly $11,500. A cherry pie earned the highest bid of $2,200. When the Harrow Fair ends up being such as success, like it was this year, “It really makes us all feel good,” Anger said, adding there are many individuals dedicated to ensuring the Fair is the best it can be.

Harrow Fair is a time to showcase local talent
by Shelbey Hernandez The Harrow Fair, held over the Labour Day weekend, once again offered youth and adults with artistic talents, in a variety of mediums, an opportunity to show off their skills and have their items judged. The art displays at the Harrow Fair are a popular attraction as many fairgoers enjoy looking over the items their friends and neighbours crafted. The Harrow Fair offered three age group categories, including juniors (9 to 12-years old), intermediate (13 to 18-years old), and adults (18-years old and over). Artists submitted their
item into one, of around 40, art-type subcategories, which included acrylic, coloured pencil drawings, and more. Aside from the traditional art forms, there were also submissions for ceramics, sculptures, homemade candles, and more. “The Harrow Fair is a wonderful place to showcase all the talent we have not only in Harrow but in the area,” Merrie Day, the Chairperson for Arts and Crafts, said. “It’s amazing every year to see adults, youth, and younger children, too, and their remarkable pieces that they bring in. Their creativity amazes us every

[who’s] bringing in the artwork or picking up the artwork, and grandparents, too. So it develops those family relationships in that respect, too. There’s a little shopping involved because the kids need the proper supplies to do an acrylic or a pastel or charcoal. So the family is involved every step of the way.” Aside from the family involvement, the arts encourage culture. “I think we always need arts whether it is in painting or craft at the Harrow Fair,” Marilyn Sartisohn-Hemphill, the Second Vice President of Home Craft Board of Directors, said. She also works in the arts section. “Having children involved in the arts makes them occupied and interested in something other than rides and food. Plus, it gives them a culture to see the art from the past years.” The arts didn’t remain within the one building at the fair. Outside the arts submissions building, many artists and craftsmen were set up displays. There were homemade candles, ceramics, handmade clothes, and jewelry.

The process often involves the entire family making it so stronger bonds are created as the excitement builds. Although some say the Harrow Fair could go on without the arts, they also say it wouldn’t be quite the same. “I would certainly miss it.

Howling at the Moon ••• Comment by Sylene Argent •••
42nd Parallel I absolutely love the new initiative the Town has established as a means to promote tourism. The 42nd Parallel Tourism campaign is basically a promotional tool to help bring attention to the municipality and all it has to offer, which includes parks, conservation areas, and of course, the Colchester Harbour and Marina. Part of the initiative included the painting of the “42” in white on Arner Townline near County Road 50 and Erie Street South, among others. A recent report to Council on the campaign noted the intent of the road markings is to alert drivers that they are crossing the 42nd parallel. There are other components to the campaign, of course, including the creation of a brochure. I will admit, however, the first few times I drove over the street
painting on Erie Street, I panicked for a second as I wondered what I was about to run over. I wonder if anyone else had the same experience. Signage has become a popular topic of conversation in the recent past, and I think this campaign utilizes space that identifies and markets the area in a unique way. It also couples the Town’s slogan “Where you belong” well and it creates a sense of belonging in a small community in this big world, and yet, in some way, connects us with other popular areas that this parallel runs through, such as California. I will say, in speaking about signage, that better signage is needed for Colchester Park. It is such a gem that we love talking about and going to, but I do hear from people that it can be difficult to find. I told a story several weeks ago
about how I rescued that little Red Winged Black Bird on Erie Street. While I was chasing that little one about, a woman stopped to ask me for directions to the Harbour. And I know I can easily pass it when heading there if I’m not really studying the area carefully, and I get there quite a few times throughout the year to cover various events. I think a better sign of Colchester Harbour would complement the 42nd Parallel campaign well as when people reach that unique line, they will be able to easier find key destinations to keep them here longer, allowing us to boast about, and easily show off, the neat amenities we have.

What are we REALLY complaining about? by Jessica Azar My coffee is cold. I had to wait 20 minutes in line! My WiFi is so slow. Gheez.... would you like some cheese with that whine? Every day, people can be heard complaining about the smallest things. We’re all guilty of it. I know that I certainly enjoy a good rant at times. I also believe that it can be healthy to verbalize frustrations, however big or small. That being said, I do think people need to take a moment to ponder what they are really complaining about. Life is too short, and it is far too easy to become a serial complainer; which is not healthy at all. I am guilty of grinding a complaint into the ground. I then find myself being annoyed by… well, myself.
Losing a loved one, receiving an unexpected large bill, getting laid off, and all other uncontrollable lifealtering events are occurring in the lives of good people all over the world every day. These are things to really voice one’s frustrations about. Before you think I sound too preachy, I will clarify again; I do understand and respect a ventfest. I just mean that at the end of the day does slow WiFi really matter? Or not receiving your free paper by 12noon on Thursday (Sorry, couldn’t resist)? The reality is that these things do not matter on the large scale. Everyone has situations in their own lives that they are dealing with internally. Perhaps all the complaining about insignificant things is really just a window into what’s really going on behind closed doors. So, let’s all ask ourselves what is really bothering us? What are we really unhappy about and how can we fix it? Misery breeds misery, but on the other hand kindness breeds kindness. And that is something of which we could all use more of.
Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch Did you ever wonder whether we are in the fourth industrial revolution? Think about Kodak. That company had 170,000 employees and sold 85 per cent of all the photographic paper used in the world. In a few years it went bankrupt. Did anyone see that happening? Now there is no need to take pictures on film. The digital camera was invented in 1975. That one had only 10,000 pixels so it was a disappointment at first. Eventually the digital cameras became superior and there was little need for Kodak. I expect other scenarios come to your mind where there is a similar possibility. What is ahead for the automotive industry? While methods may change we will always need our farmers. More people will want organic food but some of that is just an idea. That is not to say there is no such thing as organic foods, but do we really need them? Farmers will continue to grow healthy vegetables and produce good
meat, milk, and eggs. But doing that is more specialized than it was in my day. My dad had cows and chickens. He wouldn’t raise pigs because he thought their care was difficult since they are content to wallow in mud. Pork producers today have barns that avoid that because they have slotted floors. Of course we will always need our grain farmers but the situation has changed for wheat growers. A huge amount of Canadian wheat used to be shipped to Russia. That country now produces its own and that market disappeared for Canadian farmers. So we may be in an industrial revolution on all sides.

Libro shares a piece of the pie...
the credit union’s representatives call “sharing a piece of the pie.” The Libro Credit Union members awarded more than $500,000 through the 2016 Prosperity Fund to 41 recipients located throughout Southwestern Ontario. Some of those lucky recipients were local organizations, including the Essex & Community Historical Research Society, ACCESS’s Harrow Youth Centre, the Kingsville Historical Park, and Community Living Essex County. The funds are awarded for programs and projects that are helping to grow prosperity in three focus areas: regional economic development, youth leadership, and money smarts. The first visit on Thursday was to the Essex & Community Historical Research Society (ECHRS). Through the Prosperity Fund, Libro forwarded $5,000 to this group so it can continue digitizing important documents that have a local historical significance. In addition to digitizing, a very pleased ECHRS President Laurie Kowtiuk said the money will also be spent on purchasing black portfolios for the original land deeds

is has from Tilbury West and North and Rochester. The original land deeds sometimes contain land owner signatures and information about them, such as their occupation. The group also hopes to purchase archival boxes for important newspapers and a printer to print out larger maps that helps individuals search for properties. The second stop was to Community Living Essex County (CLEC). Through the Prosperity Fund, Libro forwarded $21,039 to CLEC to provide support to its Youth in Action program that helps provide summer work experience to its clients. “We are absolutely ecstatic about what today represents,” CLEC Executive Director Nancy WallisGero said, adding this is an important grant for its Youth in Action program that helps put emphasis on the youth it supports finding employment. ACCESS’s Harrow Youth Centre received $20,000
for its high school-aged youth program, and Kingsville Historical Park received $10,000 to support its Youth Museum Experience. Stephen Bolton, Libro Credit Union Head Coach, President, and CEO, said the decisions as to which organizations received funding through the Prosperity Fund were selected by local branch councils. “We are excited to share a piece of the pie,” he said, adding Libro actually brought some pie to share with its funding recipients as a fun, symbolic gesture. He said the Prosperity Fund is a way Libro can put some of its profits back into the community. “We strongly believe in the value of community,” he said. TRAVEL WITH CONFIDENCE WWW.FORSYTHTRAVEL.COM

73’s New coach, new season by Garrett Fodor After five seasons of leading the Essex 73’s to a Schmalz Cup and five league titles, Gil Langlois is leaving the bench of the 73’s and his replacement is coming from within the organization. The Essex 73’s are turning to a former player and coach to fill the void,
Cam Crowder. Crowder spent the last two seasons behind the bench as an assistant coach and the team’s power play coordinator. He also played four years with the 73’s, amassing 34 goals and 38 assists in 118 regular season games. To go with a pair of Schmalz Cup rings from the 2002 and
2005 seasons. Before coming to the 73’s, Crowder was an assistant coach with the LaSalle Vipers and spent time coaching in the minor levels with Windsor AAA. Having much of the roster and coaching staff returning, Crowder said he hopes to keep expectations the same and continue to play the same uptempo and physical style. “We want to win the Great Lakes, we have some turnover we lost a lot of ‘95s but we expect guys like (Michael) Vieira and (William) Stadder to step up,” Crowder said. “Losing your captain like Matthew Hebert, we’re kind of looking for guys to take a leadership role over. Other than that we are looking forward to a good year with a good group of kids and being competitive again” Joining the coaching staff is Cameron Sinclair. Sinclair coached the Windsor ‘AAA’ 2000 team, which played in the OHL cup this past year. He also was a letterman for four seasons, with
Bowling Green Falcons. Serving as one of last season’s assistant captains and returning as an overager, Matthew Rosati said that he is excited for the season to start and for what Crowder will bring as the new head coach. “Cam’s already done so much over the past two years as an assistant coach, especially running our power play, so there’s no doubt in my mind he was the right choice for the job. He brings tempo and intensity to our practise getting us ready for these deep playoff runs we’ve been used to,” Rosati said. “Obviously the expectations are always high here and we won’t be satisfied with anything less than a championship. Myself, Cam, and everyone are really excited about our group this year and can’t wait to get the year started.” Langlois will not be completely stepping away from the 73’s as he will be staying on with the 73’s in an advisory role. Essex will begin the regular season Tuesday, September 20 when it hosts the Wheatley Sharks.

The Voice Of Experience by Evelyn Couch
There is no reason for anyone to be lonely. There are so many different possibilities for companionship. You can deal with Will Power when you haul yourself out of bed. After that you can find John. You can hope you do not have any problem with Charley Horse or with Arthur Rhitis. But, if you do, Ben Gay can come to the rescue. Those are some more of the thoughts my friend sends to me to help me bring some humour to this column. Actually, I cannot designate them as experience but they seemed to fit that category. So I say have fun, think good thoughts, learn to laugh at yourself, and count your blessings every day.

Kingsville taking first, Essex in second, and a feisty Belle River Braves earning the third spot. In the first game, the Essex Yellow Jackets stormed in and beat the Uxbridge Grizzles by a score of 24 to 8. Leadoff hitter Freddie (Derf) McCroy started the tourney with a single, then scored. In fact, the top seven batters hit and scored for Essex in their first inning of play. Essex lost to Kingsville the next game. Despite a deep triple from Jimmy Hayes in the first inning that scored Nash Driedger, Kingsville went on to win 11 to 7. Cole Grant from Essex was the top hitter of the game, recording a triple, two singles, and four runs batted in. Essex found themselves in its first “Win or go home” game. Wyoming Major and Essex took the field, both facing elimination. Evan Heath from Essex scored the winner, with clutch hitter Kael Davidson driving him in. Essex took the hard fought 9-8 victory. Sunday morning baseball had Essex
facing Tillsonburg, and Kingsville taking on Belle River. The top three batters scored for Essex and the game stayed tied or within one run until the bottom of the sixth inning. “Everyday” Ethan O’Neil sealed the win with a massive two run double. Nash Driedger and first-baseman Braydon Chittle did their part to stop Tillsonburg from responding, and the game ended 8 to 6 for Essex. On another field, Belle River beat Kingsville, which left eliminated Tillsonburg and left the remaing three teams with one loss each in a two game knockout tournament. Kingsville won the bye to the final, leaving Essex and Belle River to battle it out for the chance to win the championship. With exceptional hitting from Andrew Hildebrandt and Blain Mulcaster, Essex pounded the ball for a 9 to 3, third inning lead, and subsequently mercy the Braves in five innings by a score of 14 to 4. Essex faced off for the final game against Kingsville, playing for gold. Essex twins, Caleb and Braeden Cavanaugh, worked for two hits each, and both scored once in the game. Unfortunately when the dust cleared, and the last pitch crossed
the plate, Kingsville had scored 11 and Essex only 6. Kingsville earned the title of Provincial Champs with a very proud Essex team finishing second. Congratulations to Kingsville for winning and hosting the tourney. Congratulations to the Essex Minor Baseball League that works to keep our young athletes competing, and congrats to the Sun Parlour
League that continues to grow Champions. Congratulations and “Thank you” to the Essex coaching staff members for their knowledge, skills, patience and time. Most of all, “Thank you” to the young players that put smiles on their relatives faces, pride in their hearts, and gave us all something to cheer about.

and owners from across Canada made the trip to participate. The event also created a great opportunity for individuals to visit the area. “We pull people into the area, we’re giving business to Colasanti’s. These people are all shopping in Leamington and Kingsville, and they are doing things in the community,” Cathy Humphrey, the President of ECKC and Windsor All-Breed, said. “Last night, we did an educational seminar on dog structure in Kingsville
“It means something when you take a ribbon at a CKC dog show. It means you’ve beaten another pure bred dog and if you can get a group placement, you beat 30 or 50 or 60 dogs,” Aarrand said. “So it’s something to work toward and it’s recorded, it’s kept track of and it means something to a lot of people. It’s not just going and playing in a ring some place and getting a ribbon that says ‘congratulations you participated.’ When you take a ribbon here, you beat somebody to get it.”

Dog shows like this one are stricter and require training on the part of the pet owner or breeder.

Festival of Cars/Sportsmen Show connects community members
Linda and Ted Diesbourg of Chatham displayed their two-door 1953 Pontiac Laurentian during the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village’s Fall Festival of Cars.
by Sylene Argent There was another huge opportunity to buy, trade, swap, and sell on Sunday as the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village hosted its annual Fall Festival of Cars event, which was coupled with another installment of the Militaria, Hunting, and Sportsman Show. Both aspects of Sunday’s show also gave visitors and vendors an opportunity to trade and swap stories and tips, socialize,
and enjoy speaking with others who have similar interest. The sportsman show participants, set up inside the hall of the Transportation Museum, connected with patrons looking for the perfect item they would like to add to their own collections. The car show participants were able to park their custom, classic, and vintage vehicles along the pathway that stretches through the Heritage Vil-
lage. The show, in addition to offering the space for car enthusiasts to show off their impressive wheels, had a car corral that offered a space for individuals looking to sell their vehicles to connect with those who are looking to buy. Vendors also had an area where they could sell unique and sometimes hard-to-find items that individuals may need as they rebuild old classics. Out along the Heritage Village, around 300 reg-
istered participants displayed their vehicle and shared stories on how they came across what would become their treasure on four wheels. Linda and Ted Diesbourg of Chatham displayed their two-door 1953 Pontiac Laurentian during the show. Ted explained that he bought this vehicle in 2002 from the original owner’s daughter. Over the following ten years, this vehicle underwent restoration. “It never left Chatham,” he said, noting a Chatham resident has always owned the vehicle. Picking up the Pontiac was especially sentimental to Ted as he said he learned to drive on a similar vehicle in his youth. Fellow event participant Eugene Poisson displayed his 1972 convertible Cutlass Supreme Oldsmobile. He explained what attracted him to this vehicle before purchasing it was its sharp red colour. He said he used to repair vehicles like that one when he worked as a mechanic. The Fall Festival of Cars and the Militaria,
Hunting, and Sportsman Show supports the Museum’s Children’s Education Program that teaches hundreds of area students annually, through hands on learning, about what life was like before electricity. Patrons had the opportunity to further support the Museum’s Children’s Education Program in purchasing raffle tickets for this year’s
car raffle. The winning ticket, to be drawn at the Museum’s annual New Year’s Eve Party, will receive this year’s prize, a white ’65 Corvair. The CTMHV is always looking for volunteers.

‘Small Town Folk’ wraps up Music Series
Local acoustic rock band “Small Town Folk” was the final band to perform in the 2016 installment of the Essex Summer Music Series.
by Sylene Argent The local acoustic rock trio “Small Town Folk” wrapped up the Arts, Culture, and Tourism (ACT) Committee’s Essex Summer Music Series last Wednesday evening before a large audience. The band solicited the help of a few other local musicians to enhance its set list. In addition to traditional instruments, the band also performed a few tunes with the sounds of a banjo. The band members of “Small Town Folk” performed an array of tunes for their listening audience from beneath the wings of the Essex Memorial Spitfire. They
kicked off their set with a tune from Neil Young, and continued on through their set list with songs from R.E.M and City and Colour. The audience had expected to see the band “The Late Night Talk Show” perform, as advertised. Members of “Small Town Folk” explained that they had simply changed their name before performing in Essex Centre’s Heritage Gardens Park. Some of the band members in “Small Town Folk” double as musicians in “Bear Patrol,” a local rock cover band that also performed during the Essex Summer Music
www.wineowillie.com
Series. The weekly Essex Summer Music Series that took place in Colchester and Essex Centre throughout the months of August and September, offered a chance for local musicians to share their abilities and love for music, from within a variety of genres. It also allowed area residents to spend a relaxing evening in the local passive park. At the end of each performance, the audience could make a donation to the musicians for sharing their gifts of music with the community.

Glen Tofflemire’s 1930 Model A Ford coupe
Glen Tofflemire and wife Donna Jean in the rumble seat of their green 1930 Model A Ford coupe.
Glen Tofflemire was born on Thursday, September 16, 1926, and grew up on the family farm on the Second Concession east of Leamington, Ontario. To celebrate his birth, his family planted a maple tree on the farm, and it and Glen are now nearly 90. When Glen was born, Henry Ford was still building the Model T, soon to be replaced with the new 1928 Model A, which went on sale in Ford showrooms beginning in December 1927. Now fast forward 70 years to Saturday, August 9, 1997, when Glen and his wife Donna Jean rode in the rumble seat of their green 1930 Model A Ford coupe with tan wire wheels and whitewall tires. The occasion was the 100th anniversary of the Hillman Church. It was a warm day and the windshield was cranked open from the bottom for an early form of air conditioning. Under the 4-piece side-opening hood was a flathead 4-cylinder engine with 200 cubic inches and 40 horsepower. Glen’s 1930 Model A was built at the Ford plant in nearby Windsor, and was one of twelve models built that year by Ford of Canada. Production began in January 1930 with prices at first ranging from $540 for the 2-passenger Standard business roadster with built-in trunk up to $835 for the 5-passenger Standard town sedan. The coupe with rumble seat was available in the Standard series for $655 and in the Deluxe series for $685. The extra $20 for the Deluxe gave you two windshield wipers, two inside sun visors, and two taillights. The Standard had a single taillight on the driver’s side. Glen’s Model A was the Deluxe model. In May 1930, prices were reduced as much as $55 because of the onset of the Great Depression. The rumble seat in Glen’s coupe was a popular place to be for the young and young at heart. Two steps along the right rear fender helped you to climb in, and unless you were a contortionist, you had to step onto the rumble seat cushion before sitting down on it. Most makes of cars throughout the 1930s offered coupes and convertibles with a rumble seat, but its popularity declined as more people demanded more protection from the weather. Its final year was 1939 when only Ford and Plymouth and the Canadian Dodge offered a rumble seat. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Essex Yellowjackets get ready for game 1.
by Fred Groves It has been a long time since Essex Minor Baseball Association hosted an Ontario Baseball Association championship. This past Labour Day weekend the local minor baseball association did that in style with the major mosquito ‘C’ event. Held in McGregor at the spacious, welltreed Co-An Park, 12 teams, including the host Yellowjackets, took part. “We’ve been around Ontario and there are concrete jungles. This is an ideal place to have it,” Tournament Convener Scott Brady said. While Essex Centre still lacks the facilities to host a provincial tournament, the nearby Co-An Park has several diamonds, canteen facilities, a pavilion, and lots of parking. Another plus to the event was that Brady had
a lot of help putting on the tournament, which began Friday afternoon and extended into Sunday. “The volunteers make this go,” he said. Essex County was well represented at this year’s tournament as not only the host team was in the hunt for the gold, but so were Belle River, Kingsville, and Amherstburg. Pelham travelled the farthest distance. Rounding out the remainder of the participants were: Wyoming, Beamsville, Tillsonbrug, Waterdown, Ingersoll, Flesherton, and Listowel. “The way the OBA works it is on population. One team did not qualify,” Brady said. After dropping their first game 13-6 Friday afternoon to Wyoming in one of the tournament’s openers, the Yellowjackets came back the next morning and beat
the Beamsville Stingers 19-9. The victory over the Stingers was a backand-forth affair. Konner McDermott ripped a two run rbi single in the second to give Essex a 5-1 lead. The Stingers rallied and quickly turned the score around to go up 9-5. It was all Essex in the bottom of the fourth as Colin Brownlee belted a triple that scored two more runs. The Yellowjackets then took over the lead, and held it when McDermott smacked a triple. The hit parade continued when Jake Ellis connected to tie things up and then Adrian Harrison clubbed his second homer of the tournament, which put the hosts up 11-9. The second game of the day for Essex came just a few short hours later. Waterdown eliminated the home team 11-4.
Sunday School begins on Sunday, Sept. 11 at 11 a.m. Masses for ages 2-10. Our General Meeting is on Tuesday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. in St. Joseph meeting room.
