Etienne Lemieux (Can) Monday, July 27, 1992 Sydor burns out By SCOTT MORRISON -- Toronto Sun BARCELONA --  ...   Meantime, the men's 100-kilometre team time trial, featuring Colin Davidson of Edmonton, Chris Koberstein of Quebec, Todd McNutt of Calgary and Yvan Waddell of Quebec, finished 13th in the course final. The plan of attack the Canadian men used backfired. ``We wanted to start the race smoothly,'' said McNutt. ``We didn't want to go too hard at the start because of the heat. It was so hot and it was a really tough course, so if you lose somebody at the start, you're in really big trouble.'' The problem was that the Canadians still had nothing left in the end. ``I think we took it a little bit too easy at the start and tried to make up for it at the end,'' said McNutt. ``But we were just too tired.'' The race was won by Germany in 2:01:39, while Italy won the silver and France captured the bronze.

Plane Downed 50 Years Ago Finally Makes It To Shore Fri, 16 May '08 Seabee Recovered From Bottom Of Quebec Lake   A Republic RC-3 Seabee which disappeared more than a half-century ago has been successfully recovered from the bottom of Quebec's Lac Simon. The plane became prominent in local lore after it became lost in a heavy snowstorm on November 21, 1957. It was assumed to have gone down in the lake after the body of a hunting dog washed up onshore, but the exact fate of the four hunters onboard had remained a mystery until recently. Last fall, a 10-year search by a group of divers finally led to the discovery of the wreckage, intact on the lake's floor, 50 meters below the surface. The Ottawa Citizen reported local police used a tow truck to bring the hull to a position near shore on Tuesday evening, then pulled it completely from the water on Wednesday morning. There were four hunters in the plane for its last flight, all bachelors in their mid-30s. The remains of two were found on the bottom of the lake near the plane, and another inside the wreckage. The body of the fourth has not been found. Police say the recovered remains will be taken to a laboratory in Montreal for positive identification. The wreckage itself will eventually be released to 39-year-old Ottawa resident Guy Morin, who spent summers on Lac Simon as a child, and grew up to lead the decade-long effort to find and recover the plane. While a formal determination of the cause of the accident has been made more difficult by the passage of time, there are some clues. Images from the high-resolution side-scan sonar which first detected the wreck revealed one wing bent back. Chris Koberstein, an aircraft mechanic and experienced diver on the search team, told the Toronto Globe and Mail that based on his observations, "I suspect the plane stalled just prior to hitting the water and caught a wingtip, and it might have spun it around or cartwheeled." He added that the recovery team remains curious about the four bachelors, who had no known immediate family. "We know their names, but we'd like to know more about them to identify them and tell their loved ones that they have been found," Koberstein said.
