MLB | Field of Dreams Game Highlights - A For Real Pro Game



Chicago White Sox & New York Yankees play regular season game at the original "Field of Dreams" Stadium in Iowa - build out of a corn field for the inspirational / positive movie



Anderson hit a two-run homer with one out in the ninth inning into the cornfield to end the Field of Dreams game in cinematic fashion, as the Chicago White Sox outslugged the New York Yankees 9–8 Thursday night in the first Major League Baseball game in Iowa.



"The fans came to see a show, and we gave them a show," Anderson said.



Costner (who made the magical movie) started the evening with a star's entrance, slowly walking out of the cornrows—like Shoeless Joe Jackson and his ghost-like teammates did in the film

From Barrie, Ontario



Sydney was born premature at 29 weeks with a birth weight of 1 pound 15 oz. The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto cared for her for the first 9½ months of her life. In addition to cardiac surgery at four months, Sydney at eight months of age had surgery to insert a tracheostomy and gastrointestinal tube.



Once home, Sydney became involved with Empower Simcoe Infant Development Program for in-home developmental support, family support and to help encourage community integration for Sydney and her family. Specialized funding for Sydney was received through Respite Enhancement Funds and Special Services at Home. The Innisfil Professional Fire Fighter's Association graciously donated a generator as a backup power source for Sydney's medical equipment to ensure she is in the best possible health at all times.



She is an energetic, playful and strong-willed little girl who continues to overcome challenges. According to Mom Jennifer, "Our family is so incredibly grateful for the support from Empower Simcoe. Because of this support, we have been able to adjust to Sydney's needs and maintain an active and stimulating environment for our family."

More from Barrie.



Corey Huggins takes great pride in hard work, getting his hands dirty, and nurturing something from seed to harvest.



Supported by Empower Simcoe's Community Support Services program, Corey looks forward each year to another season of growing pumpkins and sunflowers on his family's farm. Prepping the plants begins in the spring, about five weeks before seeds go in the ground. First, the seeds are planted into labeled starter boxes that identify the different varieties of plants. Supplied by no one but Mother Nature, the next essential ingredients are sunlight and lots of water. Before the transplanted seedlings go into the ground with a shovel full of manure, under Corey's supervision, the soil is turned with a cultivator and tractor. Then, it's months of early morning watering and weeding before the summer's sun gets too hot. By September, Corey's farm field is a vast sea of orange as the pumpkins are ready for harvest. Here's a little pumpkin patch fun fact. Once a pumpkin is picked, it's dunked in a barrel of water and bleach to preserve it and help it last through the autumn months. Corey also loves picking his farm's bright and cheery sunflowers so he can give out bouquets to family and friends. In addition to generous donations of his farm's fall harvest to a local café and his neighbours, Corey was thrilled to provide pumpkins to Empower Simcoe's Community Support Services program along with a beautiful Thanksgiving floral arrangement.



For Corey, it's a way for him to give back to his community, nurture his social skills, and share in something he loves.



Thank you, Corey, for this special gift of gratitude and sharing in those good things that come from the earth.

Rene Bremner stopped, aired up tire ..  followed them to be sure OK .. paid for tire repair  ... and then paid by phone call for couple's lunch at Cache Creek after seeing them stop for lunch

Williams Lake trucker Rene Bremner is being praised as a "prince of men," after he helped an elderly couple who ran into car troubles along Highway 97 near Cache Creek recently.



In a Facebook post Bill Barr said his grandparents had a flat tire and when they stopped in the 39C heat discovered their spare tire was flat as well.



"This guy must have sensed they were in trouble," Barr noted in the post. "Anyway he took time out of his I'm sure long day and changed the blown tire and air[ed] up the spare with an air hose he had on his truck and then put it on and followed my grandparents to Cache Creek in case he had to air it up again."



Grandson's Posting:

Stories not finished yet, my grandparents went for lunch while they waited for the tire to be fixed, we'll be dammed if this guy didn't phone the restaurant and paid for their lunch as well



Sir you are an inspiration to mankind, as my grandparents say, you're a PRINCE OF MEN

Rene Bremner is an exceptionally good samaritan.
