On the corner of East Dominion Avenue and South Walnut Street, these courts have been dedicated to the memory of Tom Sheimo, an innocent victim of a fatal shooting in Colville, who died in 1987 at the age of 37. A Sportsman and a lover of tennis in particular, Tom was shot by an irate home owner during a police standoff when he happened to be driving by. Tom was an assistant brewer at Hale's Ales, a local microbrewery.
