Midget Bantam Minor Bantam Peewee Minor Peewee Atom Minor Atom Novice Minor Novice Leigh Anderson, a Burlington resident who belongs to the Burloak club, was fourth in men‘s Kâ€"4. And if you think that was close, consider the plight of the Ontario rugby team, which was leading British Columbia with 10 minutes to go but suffered a late collapse in a 25â€"14 loss in the goldâ€"medal final. Oakville‘s Ian Dann, Heath McKeown and Mark Perkinsâ€"â€"all of Oakville Trafalgar High Schoolâ€"â€"were on that team. Afterward, Dann, who plays No. 8, was named to the 23â€"man allâ€"Canadian squad. Ellis, meanwhile, finished out of the medals, although his team, led by good friend Ryan Bush of Brampton, soared to the gold. Speaking of soaring, Kim Langton of Ancaster did just that in womâ€" en‘s cycling. Langton, who races out of Oakville Cycling Club, sprinted to the gold in the 35â€"kilometre criterium and then added a silver in the 78 km road race, finishing behind Annie Garielpy of Quebec. Oakville‘s Leigh Hargrove was 12th and 15th, respectively, in those races, while Hamilton‘s Jen Finlayson, also of the Oakville Club was fifth in the 35km. In addition, there was a silver medal earned by the Ontario rugby team and its three local players, plus a waterskiing team goldâ€"â€"aided by Colin Ellisâ€"â€"not to mention a gold and silver won by a member of the Oakville Cycling Club. Hersey, who paddles out of Burloak Canoe Club here, teamed up with Sarah Leipziger of Toronto to finish third in the 6,000â€"metre and 1,000m Kâ€"2 races. The two were fourth over 50Omâ€"â€"the same result as the Ontario Kâ€"4 team, in which Hersey teamed with Marin Hickox of and Nicole Rudan, both of Mississauga, and Nicole Westbrook of Scarborough. More glory at the Games The twoâ€"week celebration of amateur sport came to a close in Kamloops B.C., Sunday, but not before Oakville‘s Megan Hersey added to the medal haul with two bronze and two fourthâ€"place finishes in women‘s canoeing.

Right, ancient Johnny Bower still had enough life in his legs to personally lend a hand at his own school. Bower, who retired in 1971 after 15 seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs, annually teaches boys and girls aged 9â€"17 the basics of netminding. His daughter, Cindy, earlier spent her fifth August in Oakville with her powerâ€"skating school. It‘s a backâ€" toâ€"basics skating course for 250 boys and girls of various ages and abilities. But the most popular person in school was Leafs star Doug Gilmour (left), who dodged autograph seekers long enough to bhelp out for two days at Mark Kirton‘s Hockey School. Seven local instructors, including Gary McMonagle (above) spent two weeks guiding a soldâ€"out group of 300 youths at Glen Abbey Recreation Centre. The school now has a waiting list and Kirton says he‘s considering expanding it to a dayâ€"camp next year.
