Hey there, time traveller!

It’s been quite a week for curling sisters Barb Spencer and Darcy Robertson.
Just three days after winning their third Manitoba women’s curling championship, Spencer and Robertson are being inducted as part of the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame’s class of 2009.
"To be recognized in a sport you love is a wonderful thing," Spencer said this morning during a media conference to announce the new inductions.
Spencer and Robertson, along with second Brette Richards and lead Barb Enright, won the Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Neepawa last Sunday and will represent Manitoba at the Canadian Women’s Curling Championship in Victoria later this month.
Spencer and Robertson were Canadian junior curling champions in 1984. In addition to three Manitoba women’s titles, they have also won a Manitoba mixed title.
The pair was among six individuals and two teams that will be formally inducted into the hall of fame on May 3.
The other inductees will be: Brandon curler Maureen Bonar; former Canadian Curling Association president Barry Greenberg; posthumous awards to two-time MCA Bonspiel Grand Aggregate winner (1914,1919) Bill Finlay and to builder and former Winnipeg alderman John B. Mather; and to two teams — Mike Riley’s 1984 Brier champion and Ab Gowanlock’s 1952-53 team, which won the 1953 Brier.
