IN LOCAL HISTORY
• 60 YEARS AGO — Juha Widing, top scorer for Brandon Wheat Kings of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League in the 1965-66 season, was signed by Italia of Winnipeg’s National Soccer League for the remainder of the season.
• 50 YEARS AGO — Pals Gary Poole and Laverne Popple teamed up with Police Harley Bryson and Barry Gillingham respectively to win the Brandon playdown in the annual Police and Pals golf tournament.
• 40 YEARS AGO — Thunderbird Sails came back from a one-goal deficit at half-time to tie Victoria Inn Titans 2-2 in Brandon Senior Soccer League men’s action. Norm Mallery and George Kreiser scored for the Sails while Claude Pellerin and Tony Butt tallied for the Titans.
• 30 YEARS AGO — Brian Lowden fired a two-round total of 151 to win the men’s championship flight in the Glen Lea Golf Course Membership Tournament on the weekend. Charlotte Evanyshyn took top spot in the ladies’ division while Tricia Meadows was the junior ladies’ champion at 168.
• 20 YEARS AGO — The Brandon Cloverleafs took another step toward clinching the Manitoba Senior Baseball League regular-season pennant with a 10-6 win over the Oak River Dodgers at Westbran Stadium. Manny Balelo set the table for the Cloverleafs, going 3-for-5 and stealing three bases. He crossed the plate twice for Brandon, which scored three runs in the first inning.
• 10 YEARS AGO — A damp and drizzly afternoon north of Winnipeg could not prevent Erickson’s Bobbi Uhl and Glenboro’s Zach Wytinck from making history. Wytinck fired a three-over 76 in the final round of Golf Manitoba’s junior men’s championship at Bel Acres Country Club to win the 72-hole event by 10 shots over Winnipegger Sam Diamond. In the junior women’s event, two-time champion Camryn Roadley birdied the final two holes, but Uhl, who recorded one birdie and five pars in her final six holes, held her off to win the 54-hole event by two strokes. It marked the first time Westman juniors swept provincials.
