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.
