(photo By Bud Sturgeon) Sports win and losses Last Wednesday night featured the usual slate of broomball games at the local arena. In the 7 p.m. start the Eastern girls stampeded over the West .by,. an 8-3 margin. The East scoring parade was led by Crystal Huffman with four goals, while Wendy Crittenden picked up a hat trick and Cathy Scott notched a single, her first of the season. West captain Rhea Potter tallied twice and Nora West was held to a single for the losing squad. The • game also featured'. an unsuccessful penalty shot with Cathy Scott shooting on goaltender Helen Latimer. The broomball team from Champion Road Graders in Goderich was . in town for. an 8 p.m. game with •Bayfield. The locals got off to a good start with Ron `Woody" Whetstone and Ron Reder picking up goals for a 2-0 lead. However the, Bayfield boys found themselves outclassed in the later stages of the game as Champion ground out a 4-2 victory. The superb goaltending of Jim Koerte kept Bayfield in the game .Those Zurich Buckeyes just keep on rolling along. Last Wednesday night they travelled to Cen- tralia for a game with the Marauders and skated to a close 5-4 victory. The game gave the Bucs.a 2-0 stranglehold in the best of five series. Bayfielder John Graham scored one of the -Zurich goals and added two assists. Friday • night the Marauders sailed into Zurich for an 8 p.m. game and the Buckeyes sunk them by a 10-5 score to win the semi-final series three games straight. The Bucs trailed 2-1 after one period and led 6-4 after two outshooting Centralia 39-28 over the course of the game. John Graham was by far the best player on thea ice scoring three goals and three assists as" well as making key defensive plays with playing partner -Tim West." The Buckeyes will now meet the winner of the Hensall Sherwoods - Exeter Mohawk series in a best of seven final. Lampoonery by Bud Sturgeon Between watching Sunday night reruns of The Pink Panther and Smokey • and the Bandit ; I was able to create another confused column. The return of the robin and its spring song has always been,signifioant to the human population. This year we learned that our kitten Piglet is terrified of them. And we learn that the little critters can't predict the weather any better than us, as dozens of them were snowed in on Friday. They should' have stayed South another week and flew back economy with 'Freddy, Laker'. On a more serious note probably the first sighting of a robin in spring is most important of all. This year's winners of the 'Bob -Bob -Bobbing Along' contest are no other than our own hardware duo of Eric Earl and Joe - Brandon. Eric phoned me on Tuesday March 18, after a late meeting of the ironmongers,to say that he and Joe had seen two robins in Ann Chapman's Mountain Ash. What makes this sighting particularly astoun- ding is that these are the same two robins Eric had seen last year and the year befoke... First prize this year was a jar full of chirps and a chance to lay an egg next .year. The 'Bard' strikes again. As long as this story is going to the birds let us now 'turn to some nocturnal quackery. It seems that4young Judy Gilpinhas beenawakened- every morning by a hoot -hooting noise outside her window at the, River Hotel Apartments: Judy writes, "Dear Bud, is there a hoot owl in Bayfield?" • After extensive research on the subject I can safely say, "Yes Judy, there is a hoot owl. I would strongly suggest however -that you check your neighbors yard for tracks, a train just might have moved in. So, turning , back to the' real world a group of noteables were over on the west side for a fore and aft party Saturday last. And what buffoonery!' Their cars were all still there when it ended and they were parked in the tow -away zone too. Better chalk one up for somebody. Finally .(by popular request) we will be taking an affectionate look at Bayfield past through folk lore and fond memories in the next.,few weeks. If any of you, the readers, would like to contribute to Lampoonery call me at 565-2852. If not call anyway. You know, I can remember going into one of the village's restaurants a few years ago to order two milkshakes to go. The lady at the counter said to me, "I'll put them both in one carton, it'll be a.nickel cheaper." Figure that one out if you can.
