Gas levels up in Wheatley prior to holiday
By Mark Ribble WHEATLEY — Gas levels in Wheatley spiked on Friday, October 8 with monitors going off at the blast site at 4 am. Members of Chatham-Kent Fire Services, the Provincial Hazmat Team and Golder Associates were at the scene and sent samples of the gas to lab facilities in Windsor for a full analysis. As of Friday mid-morning,
H2S gas was still being detected at the site. Officials were keeping an eye on the situation and monitoring it closely. There has been no gas detection around the perimeter of the blast zone. The gas levels dissipated about 11:30 Friday morning. In a media call Friday afternoon, Chatham-Kent Fire Chief Chris Case explained that crews
were on scene as soon as the alarms went off. “Our first priority was to make sure there was no gas around the perimeter and wasn’t leaking around in the evacuation zone,” he said. “For now, everything we are doing is to maintain the current evacuation zone.” Thomas Kelly, Chatham-Kent’s General Manager of Infrastructure and Engineering Services, is
certain that the build-up of gas is occurring on a regular basis. “We believe the gas is building underground in some sort of cavern and then relieving itself,” he said. Kelly said that their goal is to find out where that gas is emitting from and he feels that Friday’s leak will help guide them to the source. WHEATLEY - Page 2

Migration Festival this weekend KINGSVILLE — The sights and sounds of flying geese will fill the air in Kingsville this weekend with the 52nd Annual Kingsville Migration Festival taking place. Of course, those sounds will be joined by sounds of people outdoors enjoying the festival. The festivities kick off on Thursday, October 14 with opening ceremonies at 6 pm and the launch of the Great Migration Paint-Out at Mettawas Park. On Friday, October 15, the artists who participate in the paint-out will begin painting throughout the day. At 6 pm, there will be a scared fire ceremony at the Carnegie Centre. On Saturday, the events ramp up with Migration Marketplace at Lakeside Park and the Grovedale Centre from 10 am to 4 pm. Guided walks and bike rides throughout town, which feature the downtown history, the story of Hiram Walker and Mettawas, and tours of the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary and Kennedy Woods all occur on Saturday, October 16. The en plein air artists can be found all around the community painting their
canvasses. The Kingsville Military Museum is holding a grand-reopening at 11 am, behind the Legion. There will be family fun galore from 10 am to 5 pm at the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary which will include Retriever’s Club dog demos, a fish pond and mazes for the kids. More children’s activity will happen at Lions Park and the Carnegie Centre starting at noon, including live entertainment, the Windsor Circus School Acrobats and a live bird of prey demonstration. Games and food will also be available. On Sunday, the marketplace continues at Lakeside Park from 10 am to 4 pm, as well as the guided walks and rides. A car show will highlight the weekend at Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary with a slow roll at 2 pm. Finally, the display and judging of the Great Migration Paint-Out will happen from 1 pm to 5 pm at the Grovedale Arts and Culture Centre. For more information visit www.migrationfestival.ca.
WHEATLEY — From Page 1
“These last few weeks we’ve been preparing the site for when a leak may occur so we can collect gas, have it studied and learn from it,” he said. “We were able to collect our best sample yet and that will allow us to get closer to the
source. Currently the situation does not warrant any change in the evacuation area, but officials said they will notify the public immediately if that changes.

Salvation Army has new volunteer coordinator
By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — Ryan Trombley is looking for a few good volunteers. The new Volunteer Coordinator at Salvation Army Church in Leamington is hoping to interest people in helping out with programs at the church. Ryan started his new job on September 13 and is charged with coordinating, recruiting and maintaining volunteers for Majors Ron and Judi Wickens, who have been the pastors at the Leamington location since August 2020. The Kingsville native is in his final year at the University of Ottawa and is taking that final year remotely, so he has the time and energy to devote to getting programs up and running for the church. Currently, they are planning their annual Kettle Drive and are in
need of numerous Kettle Bell Ringers for the upcoming holiday season. “We do 30 shifts a week for six weeks,” he said. “That’s a lot of volunteers.” The Salvation Army Kettle Program runs from the second week of November through to Christmas Eve, in six locations across Leamington and Kingsville. They are also working on a Thursday Night Community Dinner for which they need volunteers. “Volunteering helps everyone feel like they are part of the community,” he said. “This allows me to commit to my neighbours in the community.” Ryan hopes to have plenty of volunteers in place so that the plans of future programs at the church can be realized. “Everything is volunteer-driven,” he says.
Of course, the Salvation Army has their Food Bank, for which volunteers are always needed and welcomed too. After Christmas, they are hoping to get some community gardens going as well. Volunteering to Ryan has become second nature. “I have a history of volunteering,” he says. “My volunteering in the past has helped me build self-confidence.” Anyone wishing to volunteer for any of the Salvation Army programs must be fully vaccinated and willing to wear a mask. The church will provide PPE like gloves and hand sanitizer. If you’d like to help the Salvation Army Church out, you can call or text Ryan Trombley at 519999-2108 or email him at ryan.trombley@salvationarmy.ca.
FALL HARVEST UNDERWAY
LEAMINGTON — With the tomato season wrapping up, the fall harvest swings into high gear as the area farmers shift their focus to corn and soya beans. Ken Hamm, a second generation farm operator of J& K Farms, says early yields of grain look very encouraging. Bouts of heat and humidity saw a less than average early tomato harvest. September weather fared better and the latter take-in rebounded nicely. With the improvement of machinery technology, as well as advances in seed production, many farmers have reaped the rewards of higher productivity per acre. Thankfully this allows the farmer to offset the ever-increasing production costs. Province-wide corn production is expected to increase 7.5 per cent. This area’s production could show record results. Soya bean harvest is expected to remain stable. Earlier this summer, wheat produced record results. With a warm fall projected, farmers look to get their crops off before winter sets in. Above, an 8-row corn combine and transfer hopper allow for continuous operation. SUN photo by Greg Coulter

Ode to some of my old favourites
I have had the good fortune of growing up at a time that saw loads of snack foods, candy, soft drinks and other treat-like food come and go. A lot of the new-fangled inventions to make life easier came and stayed with us, like Kraft Dinner, Doritos and the Big Mac. But back in the 1950s and 1960s — before a lot of these foods came along — those before us probably had the same old snacks and treats as they did in the ’40s. As I said, lots have stuck around. Jiffy-Pop, Pringles, Bugles, Cool Whip, Coffee Mate and Ruffles have all stuck around since the beginning of their popularity. Some others have not. Today, we pay homage to those that have come — and gone — before us. Believe it or not, when Bugles were first introduced to mass audiences in 1966, they came on the market with three other sister-products that are barely a memory today. Those were Whistles, Daisys and Pizza Spins. I remember trying them all,
but had a preference for Bugles, as did most people, which is why you can still buy them today. I encourage my grandkids to eat them off the end of their fingers like I used to. Many soft drinks have fallen by the wayside since those years. When I think of 7-Up and Sprite — which have survived the decades — I can’t help but think of Teem, which was Pepsi’s version of those two drinks, and every bit as good. Squirt was another citrus-flavoured pop with a bit of a grapefruit flavour and I also remember Wink as being its counterpart. I’ve mentioned before in this column that I used to love Chocolate Soldier, but it didn’t last too long into the seventies. Likely because it was a watery fake chocolate milk drink. Speaking of drinks, I remember seeing Ovaltine commercials when I was a kid and often wondering what it tasted like. You can still buy Ovaltine, as you can also buy Nestle Quik in the powder form, but no longer in the cardboard
Bill Sherk Don Cleghorn was a body and paint man in Leamington, starting in the 1950s. His father was Hugh Cleghorn, the minister at the local Presbyterian Church. Don’s dad quickly recognized his son’s interest in cars and let him make some changes to the family car, a 1954 Ford 4-door sedan (with five children in the family). Don removed the air-
plane-style hood ornament and the trunk lock and emblem. Holes now had to be filled with body filler and the car had to be repainted. Don also had to install a cable to open the trunk from inside the car. He installed spinner wheel discs as well. Also installed was a custom grille so people approaching from half a mile away would see this car had been customized. The crowning touch was a pair of dual exhausts with Hollywood muf-
flers. This meant that every Sunday morning, Don’s dad, Reverend Cleghorn, pulled into the church parking lot with a rumbling noise. Local teenagers thought he was the coolest preacher in town! The photo you see here shows Don and his wife Alyce with their customized low-slung 1955 Studebaker President sport coupe with a ’55 Chev grille, spun aluminum wheel discs, and a gleaming silver-blue paint job. You can be sure a V8 engine was under the hood. And this

Don Cleghorn’s 1955 Studebaker THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE

car probably came from Scratch Motors, the local Studebaker dealer operated by Gerald Scratch. When Don’s ’55 Studebaker rolled off the assembly line, it was built by a company building wheeled vehicles for over
one hundred years. It was 1852 when Henry and Clem Studebaker of South Bend, Indiana, began building covered wagons to cash in on the westward tide of settlement following the discovery of gold in California in
1849. The last Studebaker car was built in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1966. Always looking for stories. Email stories and photos to billtsherk@sympatico. ca

Province cautiously lifts some indoor restrictions ONTARIO — With public health and health care indicators remaining stable or improving, the government, in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, is cautiously lifting capacity limits in select indoor and outdoor settings where proof of vaccination is required, as well as certain outdoor settings that have a capacity below 20,000. This gradual and incremental approach will continue to help protect people and ensure the province continues to cautiously lift public health measures safely. “As we continue to see more Ontarians roll up their sleeves with over 22 million doses adminis-
tered, our government is cautiously lifting capacity limits in select settings where we know proof of vaccination requirements are providing an added layer of protection to Ontarians,” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “The fight against COVID-19 is not over and we must all remain vigilant by continuing to follow the public health measures we know work and keep us safe, and receiving your first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine if you have not already done so.” In keeping with the government’s cautious approach, effective Saturday, October 9, 2021, at
12:01 a.m., capacity limits were lifted to allow 100 per cent capacity in the following settings: • Concert venues, theatres and cinemas; • Spectator areas of facilities for sports and recreational fitness (would not include gyms, personal training); • Meeting and event spaces (indoor meeting and event spaces will still need to limit capacity to the number that can maintain physical distancing); • Horseracing tracks, car racing tracks, and other similar venues; and • Commercial film and television productions with studio audiences. To date there has been
a limited number of outbreaks in these settings. Other public health and workplace safety measures continue to remain in effect for these settings. This can include wearing face coverings, screening and the collecting of patron information to support contact tracing. In settings where capacity limits have been lifted, the requirement for individuals to maintain two metres of physical distancing are being removed, with limited exceptions. In addition, proof of vaccination will continue to be required in outdoor settings where the normal maximum capacity is 20,000 people or more

to help keep these venues safe for patrons. Since the proof of vaccination requirement went into effect, the province has reached two key milestones in its COVID-19 response, with more than 86.8% of individuals aged 12 and over vaccinated with at least a first dose and more than 81.9% with two doses. The majority of new cases continue to be among the unvaccinated. “I am thankful for the continued efforts of Ontarians getting vaccinated and following public health measures and advice as we have continued to cautiously and gradually reopen the province. Our public health and health care indicators are continuing to trend in the right direction, and we are able to lift addi-

We must all continue doing our part and continue strictly following the measures that remain in place and get as many people as we can fully vaccinated, especially as we enter the holiday season.” Capacity limits will continue to remain in effect in all other remaining settings at this time.

215 enjoy free Thanksgiving dinner By Mark Ribble WHEATLEY — About 215 local residents enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner complete with all the trimmings, courtesy of the Wheatley Disaster Relief Fund, Wheatley Food Bank, Wheatley Re-
source Centre and some very generous donors. Kimberly Grant of the Wheatley BIA was instrumental in putting the word out a couple of weeks ago to get people signed up to receive the meals this past weekend.
The newly named Wheatley Swans (formerly Wheatley Lioness) also pitched in with carloads of goodies and helped immensely in packing up the meals. They made a $1,000 donation to the Disaster Relief Fund as well.
Grant says they were also able to deliver meals directly to first responders in the downtown area on Monday, October 11. The turkeys and vegetables were donated by the Wheatley Area Food Bank, and then prepared
by Green Heart Kitchen in Kingsville, who cooked, prepared and packaged up the dinner portions. Grant gives credit to numerous private bakers in Wheatley who answered the call to bake some desserts to add to
the fray. “Some fabulous Wheatley ladies helped out with the baking,” she said. Every donation is a gift that can never be repaid, so I’m sending virtual hugs from our whole team.”

Seniors Advisory Committee report By Christine Lehn LEAMINGTON – In a recent meeting, Leamington’s Seniors Advisory Committee discussed the challenges seniors have faced during the pandemic. One issue raised was the delay in some CHRISTINE LEHN medical appointments. This is not restricted to seniors. Medical staff have been working tirelessly, and cannot be faulted for any wait times. It was noted that many seniors began to enjoy visiting outdoors at the Marina. The number increased weekly. The importance of socialization is not lost on the Committee. To that end, the Committee is working on organizing free activities. During the winter months, the social gatherings will be held safely at the Half Century Centre. These will include en-
tertainment and coffee hours. As plans are finalized, times and dates will be posted on the Leamington Half Century Centre website at: http://halfcenturycentre.ca, on the digital sign located outside of the facility, and in the Committee’s monthly newsletter article to follow next month. From May to September 2022, the Committee is interested in organizing some activities to be held at the Marina. A variety of events are being considered, including a stretching class, or music. Given the current situation with COVID-19, nothing has been set. Suggestions are welcome and can be given to any Committee member or can be submitted to the Committee through email at clerks@leamington.ca. Suggestions can also be mailed or dropped off at the Leamington Municipal Building mail slot located to the right of the rear entrance off of the parking lot. The Municipal Building is located at 111 Erie Street North, Leamington, Ontario, N8H 2Z9.

Good neighbour recognition CHATHAM-KENT — The many good deeds done by Chatham-Kent residents will be getting more attention thanks to a public recognition program being adopted by the municipality. Ironically, the Good Neighbour Recognition Program was conceived by a local resident who wanted to emphasize all of the good things being done in the community. Beginning Tuesday, October 12, residents can go to Let’s Talk Chatham-Kent, provide the name of the person they would like to nominate and what action prompted the nomination.
Nominations will be sent to Chatham-Kent Council for a final decision and successful nominees will receive a $25 gift card from a local business. The cost of the cards will be covered by TekSavvy Solutions. There is a limit of 100 cards for the 2021/2022 program year. “TekSavvy is proud to support this great initiative within the Chatham-Kent Community,” said Dava Robichaud of TekSavvy. “It is important to recognize the good work and initiative of our neighbours building strong community ties.” The person nominating the neighbour will receive

the card and thank you gift and be asked to deliver them to their neighbour. Mayor Darrin Canniff said the entire idea speaks to community involvement. “The fact that someone in the community came up with the idea and members of the community will be bringing forth the nominees is great. Adding to the fact that the successful nominees get a gift card from a local business and that the entire program is being underwritten by one of our foremost corporate citizens is fantastic.”
By Greg Coulter WHEATLEY — The early 1920s saw the construction of the Wheatley High School. Since that time, it has served as an elementary public school and over the past few years the Wheatley and District Friendship Club. With the major disruption to the downtown core, many businesses, where possible, have found alternative locations in order to continue serving their valuable customers. Pharmacist Mike Untch is “happy and excited” to announce Guardian Drugs reached out to the Friendship Club to set up in Mrs. Mifflin’s old

Three-legged coyote put down humanely LEAMINGTON — A local OPP officer was forced to put down a wild coyote that had been wandering around on three legs last week. The OPP got a call about a coyote in distress on Wednesday, October 6. It appeared to the officer that the coyote had been caught in a leg trap
and was forced to chew itself free. The OPP officer involved wanted to remind the public that only licensed trappers can set leg traps for fur bearing mammals and those animals must be in season. Local wildlife expert Steve Derbyshire was contacted by the Sun
and said it’s likely the animal was hit by a car at some point over the last couple of weeks. “I’ve seen numerous three-legged coyotes over the years and most of them had been hit and then chewed off the dangling leg,” he said.

UMEI honours Truth and Reconciliation Day
LEAMINGTON — On September 30, the nation came together and observed the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. Caldwell First Nation honoured this day by organizing a walk, opened to all community members, to take steps to honor and remember the lives and spirits of those who attended Indian Residential Schools. Mrs. Wiens and Mrs. Hudders of UMEI Christian High School took the time in daily chapels to prepare the school community for that day. Students began their learning with a land acknowledgment, then discussed the heartbreaking reality of the Residential School system and recognized that reconciliation goes hand in hand with truth. The students placed orange flags around the school sign while listening to a reading of a poem by Rebecca Thomas titled ‘What Are Their Names’. On Thursday, September 30, the staff and students joined Caldwell First Nation in their walk through the town of Leamington to let them know that UMEI stands with them in support of every child matters. “We see the ongoing grief for the children that were taken from their homes and never returned,” said a release from the school. “We see the generational trauma of the families and communities affected by Residential School. We believe in our Indigenous neighbors and their stories. We see their pain and need for healing. We are listening. We are learning. We are pursuing the truth. We are committed to doing UMEI hand prints. better.” Photo submitted

Looking back
From the Leamington Post October 11, 1972 Several thousand people took part in Oktoberfest celebrations staged here over the holiday weekend by the Rhine Danube Club. A highlight of the fall festival was the crowning of an Oktoberfest Queen. The honour of being the first Miss Oktoberfest went to Evelyn Zarfield, 18. Runners-up were Margaret Neilen and Helene Thoman. —— Leamington Town Council is having second thoughts about a proposed mall on Erie Street South. Council indicated at Tuesday’s meeting that it wasn’t quite convinced that the development was in the best interest of the business community here. Mayor Ralph Nicol thought it unwise to expand in that area to the detriment of downtown businesses. Deputy Reeve Clarence Moore asked about a proposed Woolworth’s expansion in the downtown core. —— Six years ago, with two ambulances and four men, Sun Parlour Ambulance began servicing the Leamington-Wheatley area. In the spring of 1967, a third ambulance was acquired from Kingsville and the staff increased to seven. In July of that year, the Ministry of Health took over operation of the ambulance service. Friday, October 13 will see the opening of a brand new Sun Parlour Ambulance on Erie Street South. They now employee 15 full time ambulance personnel. —— After several years of discussion, a farmer’s market became a reality in Leamington on Saturday. Shoppers were seen examining produce from area growers who had set up their booths on Queens Avenue, which was blocked for the day. —— Mike Klym, a 20-year-old pitcher for Leamington, walked off with most of the hardware Friday night at the Essex County Junior Baseball League banquet, which was attended by about 150 people at the Legion in Leamington. Klym led his team to first place during the regular season, winning the Most Valuable Player Award and the leading RBI award. The Leamington Juniors took first place, losing only once all season. But the McGregor Clansmen upset the locals by winning the playoff title. From the Kingsville Reporter October 12, 1972 The Kingsville Lions Club met Tuesday at the Lions Scout Hall. The invocation was given by Syd McHarg. Guests present were R. Sykes, R. Willson and R. Leighton. Also in attendance was Fred Jenkins, Governor of District A-1. —— At their meeting last weekend, the Kingsville Canadian Honkers elected new officers. Retiring President John

The President, Mrs. I. Barbeau, introduced the new members. Social Action Convenor Mrs. Pat O’Malley stated that memorial cards were sent out. Plans were discussed for the Christmas meeting. 20 years later From the Wheatley Journal October 14, 1992 The generosity of area motorists proved to be overwhelming when the Mersea-Romney-Wheatley Fire Department staged their annual collection day for the Windsor Metropolitan Hospital Burn Unit.

Sharks take bite out of Kings in opener WHEATLEY — With a paid attendance of 248 fans, the Wheatley Omstead Sharks hosted the Dresden Kings in their 2021-22 home opener on Wednesday, October 6. On-hand to drop the ceremonial first puck were members of the Wheatley Fire Department. After falling behind 1-0 in the first, the Sharks struck for eight straight goals in their 8-1 victory. The teams were both tentative in the first period with the Kings striking first. It would be the only puck they would get past Sharks’ goalie Jackson Ford. The home team came out flying in the second, potting two goals in the first minute of play and cruising from there. In total, Ford turned aside 22 of the 23 shots he faced, while Kings’ goalies Lemieux and Golden faced 41 Wheatley shots. Cayden Anderson got the Sharks on the board in the first period with his first of two goals on the night. Not to be
outdone, Dallas Anderson also scored twice. Singles went to Ashton Anderson, Shannon Olson, Dan McClary and Mason Gow. Coach Josh Carnevale was very pleased to finally get back in front of a home crowd after a 20 month absence. “The players put in a 60-minute solid effort, highlighted by a six-goal outburst in the second period,” said Carnevale. “We’ve got a great mix of returning veterans and eager rookies. We feel that we are very capable of making a solid run through the league and playoffs.” On Saturday in Mooretown, the Sharks dropped a 6-3 decision to the Flags. Sam VanGellecum, Braedon Caetano and Quinn Lenehan scored the Sharks’ goals. The Sharks sit at 1-2-1 in fifth place in the Stobbs Division of the Provincial Junior Hockey League. They host Mooretown tonight (Wednesday) at 7:30 pm at Wheatley Area Arena.

OMG Hey!! My name is Shiloh, I am a 5 year old handsome guy as you can see. I am also very loving and outgoing with kind humans. I love meeting new people and basking in all of their undivided attention. I enjoy exploring new places and am curious about every new thing I find. I’m a mellow fellow who just wants to be loved, though I do ask to go home with no young kids because I’m not super keen on youngsters. Older respectful teens would be best. I am also good with respectful dogs too! I am interested in cat toys but I’m more than happy to chill out with you on the couch and enjoy the day in comfort.

Leamington Flyers’ #23 Seth Martineau fights for position in the crease while outnumbered by London Nationals in the Flyers’ 8-4 win here last Thursday. Scott Holland photo
Flyers double Nationals, lose heartbreaker to Maroons By C. Scott Holland Whenever the Leamington Flyers play the London Nationals, fans know they are watching two teams that will show quality hockey. Such was the case in a very different type of contest between the two rivals here last Thursday. Instead of a low scoring affair, both sides came out with guns ablazing and when the smoke had cleared the Flyers had won 8-4. The Nats struck first early in the first period, but Leamington’s Wyatt O’Neil responded to tie the game less than two minutes later. The
Nationals took another lead on the powerplay at 11:09 before the Connor MacPherson scored his first of three to knot the score again. The Flyers pulled away in the second on goals by Luka Milesovic, Seth Martineau and MacPherson, who completed his hattrick with two. After two, the Flyers led by a 7-2 score. Jason Daraiche’s empty net goal sealed the victory for Leamington late in the third after the Nationals scored twice. Flyers’ head coach Dale Mitchell realizes how every game presents a challenge and how his young
club learns from both winning and losing. “They took it to us for about 7-8 minutes in the second period and I was proud of the guys for weathering that storm,” he said. “Especially Polidori for holding down the house for that stretch to maintain our lead.” On Saturday, October 9, the Flyers played in Chatham where they lost a heartbreaker after rallying to tie the game in the third period. The Maroons won 5-4 in regulation. Chazz Nixon made his Flyers debut in goal. Outside of a Maroons’ threegoal surge in the second,
U12 Ravens win season opener handily WINDSOR — On Thursday night, October 7 at the WFCU Centre, the freshly minted Essex-Southpoint Ravens

Nixon played steadily to keep the Chatham club at bay. He had 33 saves in the contest, while counterpart Brenden Stroble stopped 34. Gabe Piccolo and Connor McCracken scored second period goals for the Flyers. MacPherson scored 44 seconds into the third to tighten the score to 4-3 and then Julien Gervais tied the score 4-4 at 14:19. Lucas Fancy beat Nixon just over a minute later for the game winner.

was a little sloppy, the Ravens eventually found their feet and continually got better as the game progressed, skating to a 12-2 victory. Nash Fuerth led the way, potting an opening night hat trick, while Derek Dunn, Brayden Foster, Nathan Mariuz and AJ Youssef scored two each to help the cause. Ben Liebrock, who opened the scoring, netted one goal to add in the attack. An upcoming tournament should help the team bond and continue to improve as they strive to meet all of the goals they have set for themselves.

Talbot Trail seniors hold final scramble of the season By Bob McLean On Tuesday, October 5, the Talbot Trail senior men’s golf league had 68 of its enthusiastic members participating in the final scramble of the 2021 season. We were very thankful that Mother Nature gave us a delightful day to play. After the scores were thoroughly scrutinized, we were ready to ready to eat the delicious broasted chicken dinner prepared by Barry Broadbent of the Car Barn. Excellent meal, Barry! After the meal, we had several humorous jokes told by Bobo, Wayne Humber and Dan Tymec. There were 16 scramble teams striving to get first place. Led by 90-year-old Murray Cascadden and 87 year-old Ed Woelk, with the assistance of Doug Langlois and Bobo, the T1 G1 foursome fired an awesome five under 31 to win first place. T5G3 merited a very impressive 33 to place second. Russell Alliett, Dave LaBon-
te, Garry Morin and Neil Adamson were on this superb team. Shooting a remarkable two under 34 to place third was T8G1 players Chopper, Ed Regehr, Gus Brown and Ron McCracken. Three teams tied with brilliant one under 35s. Fourth and fifth place was determined by a draw of cards. T5G2 players Joe Drummond, Richard Humber, Tom Hyatt and Walter Balsam earned fourth place, and Mac Hyatt, Pearcie, Dave Dent and Andy Orsini of T5G1 played inspiring golf to place fifth. The Most Honest Team was T1G2: Fuzzy, Conrad, OV and Terry Bee. All the winning teams won various amounts of new golf balls (not Pro V’s) as prizes. Nasher hit a magnificent shot on #7 to win the closest to the pin for his T9G1 team. Likewise, Ray la Pierre’s scintillating shot on #7 won the closest to the pin for his T1G3 foursome. Neil Adamson drained his
WRAP UP SEASON WITH BANQUET

Even though it was a shortened season due to COVID-19 and some rainy Mondays, the members enjoyed golfing and the friendhip that it brings. Everyone is a winner by getting out and playing. The league has two divisions, with ladies teeing off on the yellow tees and ladies teeing off on the red tees.

spectacular putt on #2 to claim the long putt victory for T5G3. Randy, Ray and Neil each received a sleeve of golf balls for their personal effort, and all the foursomes received Talbot Trail gift cards. A raffle draw for gift cards was followed by seven draws for golf balls. The eighth draw was for practice balls and tees. The big draw for the two $75 TT gift cards was won by Neil and Jerry. I want to thank Bryon Walker, Dave Dent, Bummy, Conrad and Chop-
