In this week s edition of Rewind Robert Smith takes readers back to the Golden Age of harness racing at the two major Raceways in Montreal. The weekly action, the intensity of competition and the level of talent both human and equine was virtually without parallel. He recalls some special happenings from way back when, and hopes this rekindles memories for those who remember and also shows what a great racing mecca both Blue Bonnets and Richelieu Park once were.
This week s piece takes the form of three separate short stories from the circa 1960 era along with a few old photos that accompany each one. These recaps help to illustrate the high level of racing that was being conducted in Montreal at this time and for many years following.
Born to Michael and Reanne Wilkins of San Diego, Cal., a son. He was born on Nov. 25 and weighed eight pounds, five ounces. He has been named Ezra Dean and is a grandson for Don and Bonny Eisler of Calgary and a great-grandson for George and Suzanne Eisler. The leaders and volunteers are doing a great job planning different Christmas festivities for the town. By shopping locally, you can win Wawota Bucks. Residents are being encouraged to put up lights and decorate windows. Three judges will pick the winners and there will be more Wawota bucks rewarded. A Christmas display will be put up on the south lawn for the Deer View Lodge and some of the residents’ windows. The local library is encouraging us to write Christmas greetings to shut-ins. They are also sponsoring a snowflake scavenger hunt.
