Atom Hyundai WOAA Champions
With the 2016-2017 now in
the books the Atom Hyundai
Sailors can finally take a
break.
The season saw this spe-
cial group of playerselose
only three games.
Marching through the
Aaran-Elderslie Atom tour-
nament to claim top spot.
They also took time out of
a busy Christmas break to
dominate the Goderich
Sailor Atom tournament to
win that one as well.
At the end of the regular
season, the Hyundai kids
where geared up and ready for
the post season with one
thought on their minds, a
championship to add to the
already impressive haul of
hardware.
Coaches and parent alike
knew the kids had a chance
but know could have
expected what this team had
in store for the competition!
Hound robin play found
the sailors go undefeated, a
perfect 8-0 record disman-
tling each team that was put
in front of them.
They moved on to play the
Hanover Falcons in the final
and again walked through
the competition going unde-
feated to complete their run
and capture the WOAA
championship.
The Atom Hyundai Sail-
ors would like to thank
their sponsor Goderich
Hyundai; the coaching
staff: Craig, Jeremy, Mark
and Tara; Shelley for her
management duties;
Krista for her work as
liaison.
A huge thank you to all the
parents and fans that supported
the team along the way, as well
as Brad, Matt and Aaron for the
special day with the fire truck

Reunion at Christmas
Carleton Haycock has been reunited
with his mother nearly half a century
after they last saw one another. A
chance conversation brought about their
reunion on Christmas Eve.
Forty-eight years ago Mrs. William
Winchetter of Westport, N.S., found
it impossible to support. her young
family after her husband drowned.
Four-year-old Carleton was adopted by
Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Haycock, Yar-
mouth, and his mother moved to West
Jonesport, Maine and later married
Jessie Hayward.
During World War I Carleton ser-
ved with the 85th Battalion and in
the shambles at Passchendaele he was
reported killed. The Haycocks sadly
wrote this news to bis mother. Actual-
ly he was wounded but survived.
Shortly after, they died. and Carleton
believed he was alone in the world, for
he knew nothing of his real mother.
A chance conversation between a
Westport storekeeper and an Ameri-
can fisherman resulted in the fisher-
man leaving the Hayward's address
and when Carleton went on vacation
from Imperial Charlottetown be got
in touch with his mother immediately
to arrange the mating, and to find
that instead of being alone, he had a
mother, a step -father, a step:sister and
two stepbrothers.
Carleton Haycock has been sailing in
Imperial ships -ever since he joined the
Mina Brea Oct. 30, 1923. Wounded
in both legs in World War I, he sur-
vived the Montrolite torpedoing in
World War II, when that ship went
down with half her crew on Feb. 4,
1942. He was injured when a fellow
crewman, jumping into the lifeboat,
landed on hire.
At present Carleton Haycodc is off
to sea again, for he joined Imperial
Toronto at Halifax Jan. 31, but now
he's no longer alone.
Capt. J. Vickers
John Vickers, widely known and
well -liked Master of Imperial Halifax,
died at Halifax on November 24,
after three weeks' illness. He was born
at Norwich, England, Feb. 22, 1900,
and came to Canada as a boy. When
