I liked all the games and learning how to cook. Learning how to use the telephone and be polite was fun. I liked all the crafts and making tray favors to go to the hospital. Picking up the litter was fun and made the town beautiful. We went on lots of bus trips and they were exciting. We went on trips to the Ice Capades, the Blyth theatre, indoor swimming pools, Camp Keewaydin, dinner hikes and the Brookhaven Nursing Home. We had several parties: a sleep -over at Chirstmas and Santa Claus came, plus toboggan and skating parties and a spaghetti supper. Brownies taught me lots of things it was wonderful! The following are some of the people who helped in testing badges and all of us thank them for their sup- port: Gwen Laidlaw, Mary Campbell, Dian Joanisse, Elaine Hopper, Dianne Thynne, Janet Alexander, Gary Chapman, Mrs. Melding, Mr. W. Elston, Dr. H. W. Clugston and many other people who oc- casionally tested for us. HE'S OUT THERE...

The Wingham Advance -Times, June 22, 1983—Page 13 THE BROPHY GOODYEARS, WMngharn's Intermediate team formed in 1962, played in three leagues that year, the Memorial, the WOAA and the OASA. That also was the year the famous rivalry with St. Agatha began with the Goodyears winning the semi-final playoff series with the St. Agatha Saints, but losing to Moorefield in the finals. Team members and executive are: back, Des Brophy, Bill Hotchkiss, Bob Foxton, Grant Chisholm, Mac Eadie, Barry Fryfogle, Jim Coultes, Jack Tiffin; centre, Harold Walsh, Ivan Gardner, John Walker, Lome Gardner, Alvin Baker, Ken Saxton; front, Gary Storey, Hugh Mac- Millan, Terry Gardner, mascot; Jim Bain, Ken Cerson, Gord Welwood and Stewart Cowan. he Brophy Goo years attle Saints in the '60s The 1960s will be remembered ingh softball history for the fierce rivalry between Wingham and St. Agatha as well as for the --emergence- rgeelce- - of. - several exceptional minor ball teams. The Santos, Wingham's intermediate team, still were going strong in 1960, but were eliminated by Tara in the WOAA semi-finals. The team made it to the OASA playoffs the next year, but fell to defeat at the hands of Selkirk. The big turnaround year proved to be 1962. Longing for stiffer competition for his team, Wingham coach Ivan Gardner entered it into the newly -formed Memorial League which he helped to organize. The league consisted of a northern and southern section. Teams from the north included Stratford, Goderich, Wingham, Clinton RCAF and Centralia RCAF_ The teams in the southern section were from Wood- stock, Otterville, Ingersoll, Hickson and Glanworth. To further revamp the local team that year, a name change and a new sponsor were in order. The old Sunocos became known as the Wingham Brophy Goodyears "under the sponsorship of Des Brophy. That season was an especially hectic one, recalls Mr. Gardner, because the team was playing in three leagues, the Memorial, the WOAA and the OASA. It also was a busy time for him as a coach because his duties included not just being at the park for the actual games, but in fact preparing the field, from dragging it right down to changing the lightbulbs. The team seemed to get new vigor with its name change. It boasted a strong pitching staff with Bill Hotchkiss, Jim "Curly" Coultes and a steal from the Goderich Bissets, Lucknow's Grant Chisholm. They were complemented by good fielders and hitters like Jim Bain, Barry Fryfogle and Ken Saxton. Although the Goodyears were eliminated from the Memorial League's northern divisioii by Goderich, they had good luck in the WOAA playoffs, eliminating Orangevilleand going on to play the St. Agatha Saints. It was a close series, but St. Agatha finally won. The local players and fans soon came to know they had found arch rivals, both on and off the field, and this would be demonstrated over the next Once again, the Goodyears met their old friends, the Saints, in the 1963 playoffs. Wingham led the series in the early going, but St. Agatha managed to tie it up. However, the real turning point of the series came with the Saints' controversial 3-2 win in a gruelhng 17 -inning contest played at the Wingham ball park. It was the sixth game of the series and Wingham led three games to two. Both teams scored one rim in the sixth inning, but no further score was recorded until the 16th, when Wingham's pitcher, Hotchkiss, hit a ball that, according to local lore, went right to the river. Hotchkiss triumphantly rounded the bases, certain that his homer meant the series for his team. But all havoc broke loose when the umpire declared "no run" because Hotchkiss had failed to touch second base. "I really don't know whether he touched it (the base) or not," said Gordon Welwood of Wingham, a member of the 1963 Goodyears team. But it was the umpire's decision and the team couldn't do a thing about it, he said. The decision blew the • mom„• .•••••••,„ \\\,\\�\` \ ,,..., \ ; ` Via. \ r`eq'l�...., 0. \ , �\`�1•XIMA ,.

Goodyears' concentration and even though they scored one run in the 17th inning, the Saints scored two and tied the series which ,they eventually went - on to win. Team rivalries were at an all-time high that year, and they drew tremendous crowds. You could always count on a fight, said Mr. Brophy, during and after the game. The St. Agatha coach would deliberately an- tagonize the opposing team and its fans in an effort to draw large crowds. But it worked, said Mr. Brophy. As if they hadn't had enough punishment, the Goodyears met the Saints in 1964 in the WOAA playoffs for the third year in a row. But this time, St. Agatha had little trouble in defeating the local team three games to one. By 1965, Mr. Welwood had hung up his spikes and turned to coaching. The Goodyears won the OASA semi-finals against Highgate after a spectacular 22 -inning game pitched entirely by "Curly" Coultes. The longer the game went, the better Coultes got, said Mr. Welwood of the game which lasted from 8:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. But other things were happening with softball in Wingham at the same time. The local Squirt team won the WOAA championship in 1964 under the leadership of Charlie Lee and Bill Kerr. Some members of that 1964 Squirt team were Bill Brown, Carl Mowbray, Bruce Skinn, Barry Gardner and Ronnie and ' Donnie Murray. The Squirts had another. good year in 1966 when they defeated Rostock four games straight for another WOAA championship. A fire truck parade honored the team and its coaches, Mr_ Gard- ner, Mr_ Lee and Bruce Machan. Some members of the winning team were Doug Leitch, Tom Lee and Jeff Lockridge_ Many of same boys went on to form the championship Pee Wee team of 1967 and to become part of the Wingham BPs in the 1970s and Bos_ Recreation Report BY RENNIE ALEXANDER Rec D.rector The Martin and Downs Circus will be in Wingham July 5 with performances at 6 and 8 p.m. Advance tickets are on sale at Harris Stationery and Triangle Discount_ They also can be purchased from Gerry Belanger, Dianne Simpson, Anne Crawford or Jim Griffith_ Public roller skating will start next Wednesday from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Teen roller skating also is offered every Saturday from 8:30-11:30 p.m. The ball games this week are as follows: Josephine Street Park: Thurs., June 23, 9 p.m., Junior fastball vs. Moo, efield; Fri., June 24, 7 p.m., Squirt boys game; Sat_, June 25, 10 a.m., Mite boys vs. Teeswater; Sun., June 26, 6:30 p.m..
