Since an original vision was crafted in his head 15 years ago, Tom Partalas has been on a mission to bring a state-of-the-art
facility to the Forest City's indoor soccer community. On Oct. 22, it will all come full circle with the official opening of the BMO Centre.
At the Rectory Street venue Wednesday (Oct.5), with a construction crew putting on finishing touches in the background,
Partalas, 61, the president of the London Optimists and director of marketing Greg Matthison,
watch from the second floor. The two digress about soccer's place in London's sports scene,
insisting the timing couldn't be better for the unveiling of such a top-notch facility.

The girls soccer team gave up a goal with seven minutes to play to make it 2-2, then,
after a scoreless half-hour of extra time, was beaten 3-2 in a shootout by Longueuil, Que., in the Canadian under-18 final Monday in Frederiction, N.B.
Painter has said he is stepping away from coaching after this event.
2/There's a friendly rivalry going on between soccer mom Avaleen Vopicka and daughter Lauren Winquist and both are having exceptional seasons on the pitch.
Vopicka is the trainer for Winquist's under-17 North London Galaxy soccer club but also plays for the London White Eagles — an over-35 club comprised of players from the London and Area Women's Soccer League.
Both Vopicka and Winquist played in Ontario Cup finals recently and both came out on top with their respective teams,
sending mom and daughter on similar paths towards national championships, albeit at different times in their soccer careers.

A capacity crowd of 39 were on hand to see Apollo finish their season undefeated with a tie against rivals Curinga 2-2.
Last time these two teams met was early on in the season, and it was Apollo coming back to tie Curinga 1-1. This time around,
it was Curinga's two late goals in the last 10 minutes to tie Apollo 2-2. Apollo missing 5 starters vs Curinga's 4 starters.
So it was to be a tough game for both teams. 10 minutes into the game, it was Apollo's Marco Ianelli with a run down the right side,
he then crossed it low to a wide open John Doris, who whiffed at it, only to be put in by Nunzio Raso to make it 1-0. It was Raso’s 10th of the year.
"Great run by Marco and a great let by Doris,"said a happy Raso.
