Malcom Cleghorn’s first three cars
An email arrived from former Leamington resident Malcolm Cleghorn: “Hi Bill. My first rec- Bill Sherk ollection of riding in a car was with Dad at Sauble Beach in a dark green 1946/47 Dodge 4-door sedan. I sat on Dad’s lap steering the car as we drove along the beach. I drove Dad’s 1954 Ford Mainline 4-door sedan for my driver’s license. I drove around the block and parallel parked with the instructor. That was it! My older brother Don had a low-slung 1955 Studebaker. “My first car was a blue 1960 Volkswagen bug. It had 1000 miles on it. I bought it in London at Stedelbaur’s Chev Olds. Paid $1,600 for it. It was an amazing “bug” because it would actually accelerate up hill – unheard of for a bug in those days. One drawback: it had no heater, cold as heck in winter. I was living in Don Mills when a 1949 Ford hit me broadside. I had the right-ofway but lost a good car. “I bought a new 1962 bug and it was a real pig. One year later I bought a 1963 Corvair with stick shift from North York Chev-Olds in Toronto. Most fun I’ve ever had with a car! For $15 extra, I had heavy duty suspension installed at the factory. That car went around corners like it was on rails. Ralph Nader should have bought one like it! “I wanted dark green with black leather interior. They said that wasn’t one of their combinations but because I was ordering in April, they would try. I got my colour combination and a lot of guys in Toronto couldn’t figure out how I managed that. I had the only one! “I also put mag wheels on it. It looked fast but it really wasn’t. But I had a lot of fun with it.” Always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca

Sharks feed on the opposition with three big victories By Greg Coulter The Wheatley Omstead Sharks endured an early season hectic schedule with three games in four nights, resulting in three big wins. Suspensions and injuries have resulted in rookies and affiliated players gaining valuable playing time. “We’re running on a short bench at times,” said Coach Josh Carnevale. “Everyone is battling hard, and the results have allowed us to gain some very big character wins.” Wednesday, Oct. 13 at home, the Sharks held a 3-1 lead midway through the second period only to see Wallaceburg tie it late in the frame. The Sharks regrouped in the third notching two tallies while shutting down the opposition to come away with a 5-3 victory. Shots favoured the Sharks 44-30 with goaltender Ethane Handley having a stellar performance especially in the late stages. Scoring was
balanced through the team with Shannon Olson, Dallas Anderson, Ryan Mucha, Braydon Davis (winner) and Liam Sinasac notching goals. Rookies chipped in with four assists. Twenty-four hours later in Petrolia, the Sharks blasted 56 shots at the opposition and narrowly came away with a 5-4 overtime victory. A slow start had the boys down 2-0 and 4-1 before they regrouped midway through the second. Through the last half of the game with over 40 shots pelted at the opposing netminder, the Sharks were rewarded with a late second-period marker and two in the third to force overtime. Shannon Olson tallied the winner in OT with assists from Mason Gow and Liam Sinasac. Gow and Sinasac also notched goals with rookies Owen Scratch and Ashton Anderson firing timely markers. Goaltender Jackson Ford, with 30 shots, shut the door in the last half

of the game with critical saves to force the overtime. “After weathering a slow start, we showed relentless determination. It was a great win for us,” said Carnevale.
