Recreation The Ball Diamond Around 1975, Kenny MacDougall built a ball diamond and bleachers where Richard Baker and Lorraine Begley's home is now. It was across the road from the canteen and the kids had to cross the road to get their treats. Kenny worried about the kids crossing the road so about four years later he moved the diamond to the north side of the road. He made two softball diamonds, dug outs, back stops, a club house, and two equipment buildings. Players would come from Borden to play Argyle Shore 's teams, Ken's Flames and Darren's Flyers. When the game switched from softball to hard ball Kenny did major renovations. He moved and built new fences and moved the dug outs, back stops etc. It took 100 tons of rock and 200 tons of clay from potato fields. He ran more than 600 feet of pipe from the house to the clubhouse for water. The number of hours Kenny has put in building and maintaining it would scare a person. He has had a few grants to help with the costs but has contributed greatly out of his own pocket. Back when the diamond was in its prime, he remembers there being over 350 cars at a tournament. He can also remember a few cracked windshields and a few ambulances being called but, all in all, things went smoothly. In 2006, Wayne Rostad, from "On Again", featured Kenny and the ball diamond. There are not many kids over the last 30 years who haven't played on the field or belonged to a team from "The Shore". It truly is a shining diamond in Argyle Shore . 76
