Here's a couple of exam- ples so you get the idea of what I mean. Although I have great respect for the widely pop- ular world game of football - known as soccer on this side of the pond - years ago I renamed it Olympic Div- ing for the blatant fake falls players were engaging in an effort to draw cards/ penalties. It's still going on which is a shame for the wonder- ful sport admired and fol- lowed by billions. Here's another example a little closer to home. Shorty after they opened a new shopping ar- ea on the west side of Kitch- ener on a street named Ira Needles Boulevard, it didn't take long for my trips to my favourite Golf Town location to come up with a new name. And that name would be Pigeon Poop Parkway be- cause of it's nearby neigh- bour, the Waterloo Region landfill site and it's many feathery tenants. At first I wanted to call it Seagull S*** Lane but that doesn't quite fit in a family publication. So, here's my latest planned name change and it relates to April 1, which has for years often been called, affectionately, April Fool's Day. I will now refer to it as America's Fool Day and who else could that mean than the comb-over, lying, nutbar who goes by the ti- tle of president of the Unit- ed States. I think his real name is something like Donkey J. Trump. I'm not sure if I can use my new name past this year since I have a strong feeling - and a great hope for the world and our great friends to the south - that this dufus won't be in office by this time next year. Please, can't someone, or the powers that be, give him his favourite TV show and POTUS phrase - "You're fired." I've been following U.S. politics since growing up in the border city of Niaga- ra Falls, Ont. and nobody in those seven decades even comes close to being as self-centred, pompous, arrogant and stupid as Trump. History has shown us that dictators are seldom elected, except in 2016 in the United States of Amer- ica. I'm hoping this is the last thing I write about Trump, who I would not be surprised eventually de- cides to quit. We can only hope. - Bill (Skip) Johns retired from full time sports wring in 2002 but has no shortage of opinions on a lot of topics. He can be reached at skipschips@golden.net. OPINION This year we're celebrating America's Fool Day Having fun with names is getting easier with Trump says Bill 'Skip' Johns BILL 'SKIP' JOHNS Column WATERLOO SISKINS FALL TO LIS- TOWEL CYCLONES IN THRILLING SEVEN-GAME SERIES The Waterloo Siskins gave it all they had, but just came a goal short of the Cherrey Cup Finals. Waterloo fell to the Lis- towel Cyclones 4-3 in Game 7 of the second-round se- ries. The Siskins held three different leads, but couldn't close out the pow- erhouse Cyclones, despite giving them all they could handle. Winston Cestnick opened the scoring for Wa- terloo midway through the first. Listowel's Brett Pri- meau responded early in the second with a goal of his own. Daniel Tsiampas and James Ranson each notched markers for the Siskins in the second while Keaton Willis tallied for Listowel. Halfway through the third, Listowel's Brady An- derson tied the game at three, and Trent Verbeek notched the series-winning goal just five minutes later, setting up a date with the Elmira Sugar Kings for the league championship. After dispatching the Kitchener Dutchmen in a thrilling first-round seven- game series, the Siskins came so close to a monu- mental upset. Listowel lost just seven times during the regular season and made easy work of Guelph in the first round. WATERLOO WOLVES WIN ALLI- ANCE HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIPS The Waterloo Wolves are major midget boys' AAA Alliance champions after defeating the defend- ing champion Windsor Jr. Spitfires. Waterloo's 6-3 win on March 23 sealed the six- game series, allowing the Wolves to qualify for the Telus Cup Central Region- al Championships., which takes place from April 1 to 8 in Rockland, Ont. The win- ner of that will go for the national midget title, which is in Sudbury. "This was a great se- ries," said Jim MacEach- ern, head coach of the Wa- terloo Wolves via team press release. "It was a lot of fun to watch 20 young men do whatever they needed to do to win." Waterloo only lost four times during the season, and were led by Tyson Hill- ier who led the league with 33 goals and 21 assists in just 35 games. Earlier in the year, the Wolves took home the gold medal at the Waterloo Gold Puck Tournament, and earned a silver the Ottawa Senators midget AAA showcase. The major midget boys are not the only Waterloo team to be crowned Alli- ance champions, as the ma- jor bantam AAA Wolves al- so defeated the Jr. Spitfires in the championship last week, their second straight title. The Major Midget league consists of players between the ages of 15 and 18, while the Bantam divi- sion has players ages 13-14.
