Municipal Staff take on Little League on their Turf
The North Grenville Times is Locally Owned and Operated
Mary-Anne Leang (Director of Public Relations) and Mayor David Gordon. Is he out? by Mary-Anne Leang Mayor Gordon and some of his staff accepted Kemptville and District Little League (KDLL)’s challenge to a game to wrap up the season. The teams went head to head on the newly upgraded diamond #3 at South Gower Park. In just a couple of years, this field was transformed
from a field of weeds to a field of dreams. Through diligent work by KDLL families, supported by the Municipality of North Grenville, KDLL was successful in securing a grant from the Ontario Trillium Fund which, together with funds KDLL raised, was used to do some of the much needed renovations to the field. It is now not only safe
for players and spectators, but it is considered one of the best in Eastern Ontario as commented by some of the teams playing on it as part of the Ontario Junior Championships which were hosted there earlier this year. Diana Fisher from Kemptville’s Star 97.5FM was on hand to announce the play by play at the game. On Star 97.5FM’s webpage,
Photo courtesy Pat Jessop she commented that "Mayor David Gordon can take credit for a great catch and for batting the last run in that would tie the game at 14, but he will be most remembered for his home plate pirouettes". All players had a great time and are eager for a rematch next year to break the tie. continued on page 13
