The St. Croix Valley Relay For Life is moving to Fri- day night this year, with activities from 6:00 p.m. until midnight in the Triangle Park. “We thought it was a natural fit,” said lead organizer Marianne Moore. “People can stop by for the opening ceremonies after work, or they might want to be there for the concert in the park.” The opening ceremonies will kick off at 6:00 pm, including the Survivors’ Victory Lap, and the Caregivers’ Lap, in which the groups most touched by cancer share the track in solidarity. The organizers urge any survivor or caregiver to come down, if only for the opening ceremony. “You don’t need to be on a team or formally part of the event to walk with the rest of us,” said Moore, who is a cancer survivor. “We just want to see you and welcome you.” On-site activities, both free and for sale, will take place through- out the evening, and needless to say, any proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society. Although it will be a Friday night event, this year’s lead per- formers will be the Saturday Night Rock Band, who will perform from 7:00 to 9:00. At 10:00 p.m., the memorable Luminaria Ceremony will take place, as candles line the pathway to honor survivors and remem- ber absent friends and loved ones. The closing ceremony will follow before the end of the event at 12:01 a.m. The Relay for Life is an opportunity to celebrate victories, remember why we fight, and arm researchers for another year For more up-to-the-minute visit the official page at Re- of combat.

Dragons Earn A Big Come From Behind Win Nip Calais With 7-Runs In Bottom of Seventh Caden Williams took the hill for the Blue Devils and delivered six frames of superb pitching for Calais as his fastball collected 12-strikeouts while allowing 4-hits and 4-walks. The new high school pitch count made it necessary for Coach Rohde to pull Caden after throwing the six frames. The Blue Devils had two rallies; in the 3rd a single by Wil- liams, walk and two fielding errors gave Calais three runs. In the 4th back-to-back hits by Gillespie and Collins and a third from Perkins allowed 4-runs to cross the plate. The top of the 6th saw three consecutive singles from Gillespie, Perkins, and Hornbrook, but an earlier fly out to left, then a closing pop-fly to the infield and a Dragon strikeout closed the top half of inning with no damage done. Woodland closed the sixth with Justin Monk leading off with a single, and eventually scoring on an rbi from Michael Grimanis. The Dragons stopped Calais in the top of seven and then earned three walks and had singles by Hayward, Miller, and Monk. There was an error in the mix to keep the bases loaded while scoring six runs. Then a passed ball allowed Ethan Cilley to slide safely intro home for the winning run. On the visitors ledger Brandon Gillespie, Williams, and Perkins collected 2-hits apiece with Collins, K Gillespie, and Hornbrook each adding a single.
