Oh, feel it. The exciternent in the air. The electricity coursing through the veins. The most exciting time of the year, because there is nothing to watch, nothing to tatk about, nothing to occupy our time but sports, sports andi more sports. The kids comne home from their little league basebail games where they have just spent the last hour pretending they were Joe Carter, John Olerud, and Robbie Alomar. Thien for the next few hours, until they nod off to sleep, they become Doug Gilmour, Wendal Clark and Felix Potvin. As mystical as the summer equinox, when the number of daylight bours equals die numrber of nighttime bours, this is the time of year when hockey hours matches the numberof basebal hours.

They red light cornes on. Theywîn the gamne. The crowd goes crazy, and cloaks this kid in adoration. And, then cornes the moment... the ceremonial skate around the ice holding the cup higb above bis head. And once the Stanley Cup is won, this same young child can think in earnest about working toward earning himself one of those World Series rings. Witb the bases loaded, two out, bottomn of the ninth, up against the fiercest pitcher basebail, bas ever seen. With the crack of the bat.... Yeab, tbis is that special tirne of the year. $12 nightly charge for lights Port Hope is charging minor sports teams $ 12.00 per night for the use of lights.
