J ET lan Tm nr SSCS CRIES sm Time Charlie Brignall of Port Perry had the honour of tossing out the first pitch Saturday afternoon to open the Intermediate C tour- nament for the OASA championship. Nine teams, including the host Port Perry Legion squad, battled it out for the title, and when the last pitch was thrown late Sunday evening, the Greenbank Gamblers had won the crown with a 4-0 victory over Garden River. Winning pitcher in the final game was Ken Goreski with an outstan- ding performance. In photo on right of page, that's Ken (Nu. 6) with the big smile getting a big hug from team-mate Hugh Johnston.

In termedia te C fastball crown Gamblers win it all by John B. McClelland The Greenbank Gamblers are the 1986 Ontario Intermediate C fastball champions. The Gamblers won the title late Sunday afternoon at Joe Fowler Park in Port Perry with a 4-0 victory over Garden River and the '"'In- credible Pitching Machine' Darren Zack. Garden River forced the extra game in this double knock-out tour- nament by shutting down the Gamblers 3-0 earlier Sunday after- noon, setting the stage for the show- down for the Ontario Amateur Soft- ball Association Intermediate C title. With a huge crowd filling every . seat in the bleachers, the Gamblers got a masterful pitching perfor- mance from crafty veteran -Ken Goreski who constantly had the Garden River sluggers off stride and off balance with his off-speed pitching. Goreski limited Garden River to just two hits in the final game, and only got into a serious jam once. He capped this outstanding perfor- mance by fanning the final three batters he faced to preserve the 4-0 win and the championship. - Joining his jubilant team-mates in celebration right after the game, Goreski said simply "It just can't wt p al a Estate office is transformed into a hotel, all to accommodate the shooting of 2 movie called "The Arm."

Garden River loaded the bases with just one out, including an intentional walk, but Goreski spun his magic to nail two batters on strike-outs. Getting out of that big jam was probably the turning point in the championship as the Gamblers us- ed their half of the 4th to strike for one run. First baseman Trevor Till work- ed Garden River fireballer Darren Zack to a full count then drilled a long fly to centre which the fielder appeared to have in the glove. But the ball popped free and by this time Till was well on his way to third base. He scored easily when the throw from the field sailed into the bleachers behind third base. In the bottom of the 5th, the wheels began to come off the Garden River team as the Gamblers put three more runs on the board, none of them earned. Rodd Real started things going with a bloop fly to shallow right.

The council originally had agreed to include a one acre parcel on Durham Road 2 for a neighbourhood convenience store as part of the residential development, but this recommendation was reversed at the council meeting during the even- ing of September 8. Earlier that day, residents from Cawker's Creek had presented a written brief to council outlining why they strenuously opposed the inclusion of a convenience store in the development plans. The development plan has been submitted to Durham Region for an official plan amendment. The developer, Mike Zygocki, may ask the Region to include the commer- cial components in the plan, but without the support and blessing of Scugog council, the chances. of this passing are greatly reduced. Following the decision by council to delete the commercial, Cawker's Creek resident Charles Hunt told the Star he was pleased with the action. Mr. Hunt had presented the brief to council earlier in the day on behalf of some 80 residents in the area who object to the store. Mr. Hunt said the group was con- 'cerned about the commercial aspect " and he doesn't anticipate the group will have the same kind of serious concerns about the number of homes proposed for the development. Council has given approval in principle to 100 new homes on the 160 acre site. The developer had ask- ed for 142. The Regional Health Unit will make a recommendation on the number of homes based on the results of soil tests to determine the suitability for septic systems. Mr. Hunt told the Star that while the group he represents is pleased with the action taken last week by the local council, members are prepared to argue their case in front of the Regional Planning committee and Regional council if necessary to (Tum to page 3) PT EN or Gn
