IN LOCAL HISTORY
• 60 YEARS AGO — Three Brandon youths who swim out of the Shilo club, broke provincial records in Winnipeg over the weekend. Jim MacDonald broke the 10-and-under boys provincial records for the 100-yard medley, the 50-yard backstroke and the 50 breaststroke.
• 50 YEARS AGO — Doug Scott and Burton Crook, two members of the Brandon Optimist Sundowners track club, competed in an open indoor meet in Winnipeg. Scott finished first in the men’s 3,000 metres while Crook was third.
• 40 YEARS AGO — Gord Kaluzniak and Kevin Malchuk scored in the final three minutes to give the visiting Spectrum Sportsmen a 2-1 playoff victory over Elkhorn Canadians.
• 20 YEARS AGO — Eight Brandon Youth Soccer Association players have been added to provincial training teams — girls Laura Popplestone, Breanna Thompson, Victoria Dabbs, Carli Rey, Hanna Price and Alison Flintoft and boys Taylor Blue and Patrick Dyck.
• 10 YEARS AGO — It hasn’t taken long for Landon Rice to start giving back to his new community. After spending his second season with the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats — his first on the squad’s active roster — the 27-year-old Brandonite moved to Steeltown full time and spent this off-season working with the team’s community outreach programs.
