In a partnership between the Town and Georgetown Slo-pitch, the local adult leagues contributed $100,000 to the total pro- ject cost of just under $439,000, with the work being carried out by DDR Landscape Contractors of Oakville. The TSP Master Plan, approved by council in 2002, recommends that a total of four ball diamonds should eventually be built on the site.

Photo by Eamonn Maher Digging for diamonds Getting into the Guinness Book of Records usually isnt an easy task and a group of local-area box lacrosse players are going to find out how painful that can be. A 25-hour game will take place next weekend at the Aurora Community Centre as a fund-raiser for an anti-vio- lence campaign and Guinness officials have acknowledged that the marathon box contest would qualify as the longest ever on record. Seven members of the Halton Hills Rams masters lacrosse team will be among approximately 100 players who are registered for the DOVE (Determined to Oppose Violence Everywhere) game, which begins at 3 p.m. Friday, June 13 and runs until 4 p.m. the next day. I told my son that for Fathers Day, I want a supply of A5/35 and some ice packs, joked 56-year-old Chris Sargent, president of the Halton Hills club. Its probably going to kill me. But seriously, were just trying to raise some money for a good cause and its just something different. For us, its trying to meet the physical challenge. The Rams are scheduled to play four two-hour shifts, including the 3-5 a.m. time slot on Saturday. Theyre tuning up for the event with a tournament in Welland this week, followed by their weekly pickup games at the Acton Arena held on Monday nights from April to August.
