Rain, rain go away

Nothing could have prepared the organizers of the city’s Canada Day festivities for the events that unfolded from the sky last year. July 1 got underway just like any other Canada Day, with the Astro jumps and vendors in place at Henderson Lake, and one performer taking the stage, recalls Carol Thibert, one of the organizers.
But then the sky turned as black as night as the clouds rolled in during the early afternoon and burst open, dropping 45 millimetres of rain on the city in only a few hours. The high volume of rain overwhelmed storm sewers, flooding streets around the city. When all was said and done, roughly 500 homes were affected by varying levels of flooding.

A throwback to days gone by
The starting pitcher in the inaugural Baseball Hall of Fame Classic, played Sunday in Cooperstown, N.Y., was a man who brought back fond memories for me.
Bob Feller is 90 years old and he no longer throws the blazing fastball that once terrorized major league hitters. The fastball had lost its zip by the time I met the man 31 years ago, when he made a promotional visit to Lethbridge, tossing pitches from the mound at what was then known as Henderson Stadium.
