River cruise
Because of the poor condition
this watercourse had been in,
canoeing was simply not an
option down at this end of
Hullett Marsh. The trip’s leader
said this was the first trip in
about four years. And the
people came out for it, despite
the cold, damp conditions,
canoes were in the water,
ready to take the trip. (Shawn

I offer condolences to the Seeger
family of Auburn area on the loss of
the dear father of Rhea. Don
Hamilton of Goderich passed away
in London hospital on Monday, May
7.
He leaves behind wife Ilene (Percy
Robertson-Day) Hamilton, children
Rhea (Klaus) Seeger, Roberta
(Randy) Charge, Richard (Jackie)
Hamilton, and Randy (Suzanne)
Hamilton. He also leaves behind two
stepchildren Laurie (Dave)
Errington, Paul (Yvonne) Day, 12
grandchildren and three great-
grandchildren. Also grieving is sister
Diane Hamilton (Dwight Williams).
Don was predeceased by brothers
Gerry, Garth, Robert, Jack and
on May 5 of this year, brother
Gene.
The funeral service for Don
Hamilton was held on Saturday,
May 12 at Knox Presbyterian church
in Goderich.
In honour of Don’s longtime
membership and endless, selfless
hours volunteering with Legion 109,
many of his comrades paid their
respects in a formal and fitting
manner with the Colour Party
presenting at the onset of the
afternoon.
Also included in the service, weremoving performances of AmazingGrace and Danny Boy, by violinistTom McLean.Offering touching tributes to theirlife-long friend were Gord Waltersand Bruce Sully. Both men spokefrom the heart of a friend who knew
how to fix anything and had a lot of
fun along the way. A friend who first
and foremost helped anyone in need.
I will add this to those words
already given: If the measure of a
man is how much he is loved in this
life, or how much he will be missed
when he goes on to the next,
Grandpa Don, as he was most often
called in our home, would surely
have been 10 feet tall. We offer our
thoughts and prayers to family and
friends during this trying time.
Hitting the dirt
Mother’s Day wasn’t a big enough holiday to keep the bikers off the trail, and apparently not
the mothers either. Riders and their mothers were out in full force last weekend kicking up dirt
all day Saturday and all day Sunday. (Shawn Loughlin photo)

ONTARIO HEALTH COVERAGE
The golf season was officially
opened at the Wingham course on
Friday, April 20 with the course in
great condition. And for the last
three weeks there have been many
days of full sunshine just ideal
weather for golf.
***
The ladies had their season
opening and luncheon last Tuesday
with a great turnout. Thirty hit the
links for an enjoyable round of golf
with over 40 on hand for the
luncheon.
The winners of the draw were
Debbie Currie and Carol Clark.
The ladies’ division has reached
an all-time high with over 50
members and new members joining
almost daily.
Ladies’ golf has really taken off.
A few years ago there were only six
active members and some left the
ranks due to lack of numbers.
Such is not the case this year with
nearly every day having several
ladies out for a round of golf.
***
The regular Wednesday Seniors
started play last week with 14 on
hand on a morning with threatening
rain. However the weatherman co-
operated and the last ball hit the
bottom of the cup on the ninth hole
before the rain started.
Bob Foxton captured the top prize
with Wayne Gordon taking second
place and Grant Currie and Lloyd
Lamont coming in tied for third.
***
Buff’s Thursday night action got
underway with full throttle with 24
on hand. It’s a new season with a
new name on the leader board as
Teeswater’s Perry Hauck took top
honours with a 39. Tied for second
with 46 were Dave Gamble, Mark
Foxton and Rob Gallaher. Neil
Bieman won the award for the
longest putt on number seven and
Rob Gallaher was closest to the pin
on number four. Birdies were
recorded by Aart DeVos on number
six, and Perry Hauck and Murray
Coghlin on number nine.
On suggestion of Atwood’s Joe
O’Rourke the Thursday golfers are
setting aside a sum each week
which will be donated to the WOAA
building fund at year’s end.
***
Hats off and a special thank you
to the public school students from
Wingham Public School who
planted 800 small white spruce trees
along the entire west edge of the
golf course. Many hands make light
work!
***
University is out and we welcome
back to the club staff Lisa Inglis,
Brittney Heffer, Nicole Stewart and
Mark Hackett.
New faces include Michelle
Nixon, a newly-graduated teacher
who spent three weeks teaching a
Grade 7 class in Kenya as part of her
training. Michelle was observed
trying out her new golf clubs, a
graduation gift from grandpa Gerry
Edwards.
