REPRESENTING LEAMINGTON IN ONTARIO CHAMPIONSHIPS
Three teams represented Leamington in Baseball Ontario’s annual OBA championships this past weekend. The Leamington Senior Barons took the OBA Senior “B” title with a win over Mitchell at the Kinsmen Ball Diamonds, while the Leamington Lakers 9U team won the 9U “B” championship in Chatham with a win over Orillia. The 8U Lakers went into Sunday’s games in Leamington undefeated but came up against a hot-hitting Tecumseh Rangers squad and lost in the final of the 8U “B” championship. The Barons and 9U Lakers were on hand for the 8U game and all gathered afterward for a triple team photo. More details are on the sports pages. SUN photo by Mark Ribble

By Mark Ribble The 2025 summer Hogs for Hospice 50-50 draw winner is singing the praises of the Hogs for Hospice group, in addition to being excited about winning $415,150. “I was at home when the phone rang,” said Tim Tiessen. “It took a while to sink in.” Tiessen and his wife April met with the Hogs board of directors at the Hospice Erie Shores Campus on Wednesday, August 20 to receive their big cheque. “We buy tickets every year just to support the Hospice,” said Tim. “We never thought we’d win.” The Tiessens were quick to praise the Hogs board members for their involvement from day one.
“You guys are the backbone of this,” he said. “You’re doing wonderful work.” April says that within 10 minutes of Tim’s name and photo being posted on social media as the winner, his phone started blowing up. “It continued all through the day and into the next few days,” she said. Their oldest daughter is getting married in a couple of weeks, so this windfall will definitely help with that event, and April says they may take a trip with some of their winnings. “We might have to plan a family trip,” she says. “It’s always hard to get everybody together.” SEE HOGS WINNER Page 2
