Talbot Trail golfers battle the heat
By Bob McLean On Tuesday, July 6 there were 58 senior league members who participated in their weekly golf game at Talbot Trail Golf Course. The numbers were a bit lower because of the intense heat, vacationing or possible health issues. The closest to the pin on #9 was won by Shannon ‘the Cannon’ Wiper. Bummy caused Bobo to have a few tears as he drained a marvellous longer putt to win LP on #2. There were 12 birdies: #1 Joe Vrtel and Dutchy; #2 Larry Hyatt; #4 Fuzzy; #5 Dave LaBonte and Fred Michano; #6 Arkey and Gerry Van Deven; #7 Arkey, Nasher and Dave LaBonte; #9 Dave Cohoon. In the 80-85 grouping, Joe Vrtel continued his fantastic play by shooting a smooth 41. Placing second was Vic Reynaert with his inspiring 47. Neil Adamson scored a noteworthy nifty 50. Ed Woelk and Walter Balsam achieved very commendable 51s. Praiseworthy results were achieved by Conrad, Andy, Ken and Terry. Tom Hyatt shot an impressive 45 to lead the Super Senior Silver Division. Bill Edwards played very satisfying golf to end up in second place. The Super Senior Gold Division proved to be another excellent contest between Dave LaBonte and Gerry Becigneul. The day’s inspiring results were Dave 42 and Gerry 44. Murray Cascadden produced a very praiseworthy nifty 50. Erle Nash played superbly as he finished with a satisfying 51. In the 70-79 division, Dutchy continued his masterful golf by shooting a 36. Bill Ward and Jim Pearson achieved terrific 41s. Superb results were scored by Bobo 42, Doug Langlois 43, and Chopper 44. Other noteworthy results came from these participants: Gus and OV 45s; Schmidty, Paul Carioli, Gary Hillier and Ron McCracken 46s; Bummy, Mac Hyatt and Dave Dent 47s; Larry Hyatt and Al Zanuttini 48s; and Dave Cohoon, Richard and Wayne Humber, Jerry Paine 49s. Scoop Epplett produced a sweet nifty 50! The youth division played well. Leading the way with his spectacular 37 was Arkey. Shannon Wiper and Fred Michano fired excellent 39 and 40 results respectively. Fuzzy and Nasher shot terrific 41s. Other noteworthy scores were Gerry 45, Len 47, and Ed Fraser 53. The league is beginning to plan for a scramble. The Willow Ridge excursion is on July 23. When you play #8, stop to look at the oak tree and stone. Members miss Jim McKeen, a true sportsman, who passed away at 58.
CELEBRATING IN STYLE LEAMINGTON — The Italian community was out in full force on Sunday evening as they celebrated Italy’s Euro Cup victory over England. The win was Italy’s first Euro Cup since 1968 and the fans were quick to take to the streets of Leamington and surrounding area with honking horns and giant flags. This group stopped briefly at the Oak and Erie intersection, before they continued on their way down Erie Street South. SUN photo
NHL Oldtimers event drew 1400 fans in 1992 By C. Scott Holland The names evoke memories of NHL glory days covering an era spanning the 1960s and 1970s as they stepped onto the ice at the Leamington Arena back in 1992. To the older people watching, the players represented their heroes from youth while the youngsters were thrilled to see the names synonymous with the “golden era” of the NHL. But the NHL legends had to compete with the Leamington Flyers championship team from 1980 and that team itself carried loads of memories for fans. The pre-game ceremonies were a highlight as Eddie Shack coached the legends and drew tremendous
applause even from his own players. Leamington District Memorial Hospital Chair John Setterington dropped the ceremonial first puck after ex-Flyer and former South Essex star Max Riediger sang the national anthem. The NHLers’ smooth, almost flawless style was too much for the Flyers as Norm Ullman netted a pair while Billy Harris, John Ferguson and Bob Lorimer fired one each against Flyers’ starter Don Campbell. The NHLers horsed around as Jean Guy Talbot took the first penalty and had Maurice “Rocket” Richard join him in the sin bin. Todd Hodgson would miss on a penalty shot attempt but would atone for it
later when he beat goalie Gilles Gilbert on a feed from Mark Johnston. Hodgson received a pie in the face for his efforts. The Flyers added a few more in the second as Gary Gayer netted two and Bob Clifford and John Jacobs Jr. found the twine while Clare Gillanders took over the netminding duties. But the NHLers went ahead by one on Yvon Lambert’s tally before the second ended. In the final frame Ullman collected his third and fourth goals before some more hijinks ensued. Overall the entire evening was a huge success not only for the charities but for the fans too.
