First ever stone skipping event was a success
Cool weather greets Talbot Trail seniors
By Bob McLean In the 70 and under division, Dunner must have been playing a different course than the rest of us as he shot an astounding 34. On September 15, the sixty-three league members faced temperatures in the 40’s. With all the recent rain, the dewy grass had grown so much that it proved extra challenging for most of us. All the outside workers were certainly kept busy trying to catch up. However, by noon on Wednesday they had done a tremendous job getting the course in top shape again. Most of the 70-79 y division found the going extra difficult. An excellent score of 40 was shot by Dutchy. Ian Quirk and Rick Thompson placed second with superb 44’s. BW and Chopper were next with their commendable 45’s. Other scores of 49 or less came from: Herb, Bobo, Al Matthews, Schmidty, Al Zanuttini, Paul Brown, Bob Lee, Douglas, Dave Dent and Mac Hyatt. Eugene scored a nifty fifty. Other excellent scores besides the Dunn 34 were shot by these players: Phil 40; Arky 41; Nasher 42; Fuzzy 43; Gerry and Tim 45’s. Other commendable scores under fifty were achieved by Fred Michano, Art Regehr and Wiz!
Nasher hit a terrific shot eight feet from the pin to win CP on #9. Murray Cascadden drained a terrific sixteen footer to win the LP. Vic Reynaert and Joe Vrtel played superbly to shoot 46 and 48 in the under 80-85 grouping. Steadily improving Conrad Babkirk earned a very commendable 51. Neil, Ed, Terry, Andy, Walter, Ken and Bill also enjoyed satisfying rounds. In the “Silver” super seniors Tom Hyatt and Bob Freure played outstanding golf as they earned scores of 47 and 49 respectively. Our inspiring “Gold” players saw a rejuvenated Gerry Becigneul score an incredible 43. Scotty Westrop and Dave la Bonte were on fire with solid 48 and 49 results respectively. Erle Nash and Murray Cascadden both achieved

PELEE ISLAND — The first ever Skipping on the Rock competition was held as planned on Sunday, August 30 and organizer Julie Clifford felt the first time was a success, with 10 competitors lined up to skip stones out into Lake Erie off Scudder Beach. Several more people had signed up but weren’t present when the competition began. Clifford said a few people who had come to watch were convinced to join. “All in all, it was a great event,” she said. Clifford owns and operates The Bakery on Pelee Island, and sponsored the event. Pete Samuels won the adult 15 and over division, with Luke St. Denis taking home the honours in the 14 and under group. “Luke was very enthusiastic,” said Clifford. “He had everyone smiling.” Luke took home the first annual Stoney Award for his efforts.

BRUNO
Hi... I am Bruno! I am a 10 year old, 8 lbs Chihuahua/Mix boy looking for a new home! I sure hope you know about Chihuahua’s because my personality is true to my breed! I need an adult home that doesn’t have other pets or children. I am crate trained and I love car rides! I also love sitting in my persons lap! I prefer a fenced yard, although I do walk well on a leash. I have a hard time being alone because I want to be with my person so I wouldn’t do well in an apartment. If you have Chihuahua experience and love how loyal and loving we are to our people then please fill out a survey at windsorhumane.org to adopt me!!
