Pet of the Week TUCKER
Hi I’m Tucker and I have a big favour to ask. Please look beyond my current appearance. I look a little scruffy but that won’t last for long and my loving, playful personality will more than make up for that in the meantime. I haven’t met a human or a toy that I haven’t liked. Honestly when it comes to human attention I just can’t get enough and will stretch up onto your leg to make sure you keep petting me. It won’t be one-sided--I give as good as I get when it comes to attention. Getting back to my coat, I have to say that once it’s back to its luxurious state, it will need daily brushing to keep it that way. What do you say? Are you ready for endless love and affection?

Alf Whaley honoured at ball banquet Mr. Alfred Whaley, a lifelong resident of the Wheatley area, was presented with an engraved plaque as a token of appreciation by the Wheatley Area Minor Baseball Association in October of 1985. The plaque marked 32 years of service in a great many capacities to the community and minor baseball, and was presented at the annual minor baseball banquet. During those many years, Mr. Whaley served as coach, manager, trainer, umpire and, according to those who observed his contribution to minor ball, was available to do any task that needed doing on behalf of the young ball players in the community.
After moving back to Wheatley in the spring of 1955, Alfred started back in baseball. He held several positions on the Wheatley executive throughout the years. He was also on the Western County executive and the OBA executive. Mr. Whaley was the first president when they formed the Sun Parlour Baseball Association in 1974. His involvement with championship teams over the decades in Western Counties Baseball, Ontario Baseball Association and Sun Parlour Baseball Association is testimony to his commitment to the youth of the community. Following is a list of championship teams
Mr. Whaley coached or managed: Midget C 1957 WCBA; Midget C 1958 WCBA and OBA; Pee Wee C 1959 WCBA; Junior C 1961 WCBA; Pee Wee C 1962 WCBA; Junior 1963 WCBA and OBA; Tyke C 1966 WCBA and OBA; Tyke C 1967 WCBA and OBA; Tyke C 1968 WCBA and OBA; Tyke C 1969
