Three-peat for Team A.J. Stone
Saturday, May 1, 2010
It was a
three-peat at the FFIC Open Friday with Team A.J. Stone – Bill and Mike Stone
along with King Township Chief Bryan Burbidge and Richmond Hill Chief Steve
Kraft – taking the championship once again at 14 under par. Here they are
with the hardware.

I was
stationed at the 14th hole, the $10,000 par three hole-in-one hole –
witnessing shots into the river, into the trees and onto the 15th
fairway, and generally watching most everyone (except Team AJ Stone and a
select few other decent golfers) tee up and make their worst shots of the day.
It happens, when there’s money on the line and an editor with a camera . . . Don’t worry, no names will
be mentioned, but here are some other photos just for fun.

With our FFIC golf tournament comes the Ontario
Association of Fire Chiefs trade show and conference, which opened in Toronto this morning with the Suburban
and Rural seminar, including presentations on recruitment and retention, fire
sprinklers in rural areas and wildland fire safety and training.
The trade
show opens Sunday at 11am and the forecast is for rain –
which organizers generally believe is a good thing as people are more likely to
visit the trade show if they can’t work in their yards or wash and wax their
cars. I’m hearing that exhibitors were at the congress centre at 4:40 this morning to get the trucks
inside . . . It’s gonna’ be a long week!
