GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh Cool spot close by Anyone wishing to take advantage of a cool atmosphere for a couple of hours each weekend could do worse than take a trip out to the Randall arena at Huron Park and also help to stay in a trim and healthy condition, Two hours of public ice skating is available each Sunday night at the district arena. We saw a couple of young hockey players from town out last Sunday night taking a whirl around the ice. The Huron Park arena will again be the home base of the Lucan-Ilderton Jets for the third consecutive year. Officials of Ontario Development Corporation and arena manager John Link have been busy the last couple of months making excellent improvements to the arena. The entire inside of the building has been painted and a de-humidifier has been installed to take care of the dampness during the warm weather. While the reigning champs of Ontario Hockey Association Intermediate "B" ranks will be back at Huron Park, there has been quite a change in the executive end of the team. At a recent team get-together held in St. Marys, Barry Beech was named president to replace Ian Dallas, former manager of the Lucan branch of the Bank of Montreal who has been transferred to Toronto. We know the Jets will again be well organized with hard working and enthusiastic Barry at the helm. He will have plenty of help in the administrative end of things from his vice-president Don Urbshott. Now known as the "Silver Fox" for apparent reasons, Urbshott was one of the co-founders of the team and last year as manager handled all negotiations with the OHA very capably. The manager for the coming 1970-71 season will be Doug Galloway, a veteran of many St. Marys and Lucan-Ilderton teams. His assistant in the managerial end will be another long-time associate of hockey teams in the Lucan-Ilderton area, Ken Loft. Popular Jack Nairn will be back to coach the club and also take his regular turn as an active player. Nairn took over as coach part way through last season and did a tremendous job of taking his team to the Ontario title by not only telling his mates what should be done but going out on the ice and doing it. Publicity of the club will be in good hands with Larry Bickell and Steve Storey in charge. Storey along with Urbshott started the club back in the fall of 1968 and spent countless hours moulding the club into championship form. His knowledge and experience will be valuable along with his help on the ice. The rest of the executive includes Jack Galloway, father of the new manager, Don McKnight, Pat Egan, Vic Neil, Carl Leitch, Orvil Rinn and Lucan reeve Ivan Hearn. Duties of trainer will again be handled by energetic Russ Kennedy with Keith Scarborough who says he is retiring from an active playing role taking over as equipment manager.. We expect Keith will_ by still around to fill in as the spare goalie for the club. Big tourney One of the biggest fastball tournaments in this part of the country will be held in Goderich over the Labour Day holiday weekend. Twenty teams are expected to participate in two divisions. The split in categories comes at a population of ten thousand. The Exeter all-star club will be entered in the "B" division along with an entry from the Dufferin Hotel of the local Rec league. Add to fair - It is expected the Exeter Fall Fair this year will have an added attraction. Board members spearheaded by president Donald Dearing are making arrangements to include a program of harness racing in the fair menu. While negotiations haven't been completed it is' expected that approval from the Ontario Trotting Association will be along as soon as the mail situation clears a bit. Jim Wallace who is heading up a group of local horsemen to help organize the event tells us that all officials for a day of racing have been lined up. Jack Morrissey of Crediton is expected to be the presiding judge. Morrissey has been handling similar duties at numerous tracks in Western Ontario the past couple of years. The Whitesell starting gate will be in operation and George Moffatt of Western Fair Raceway is expected to handle the announcing duties. A coating of stone dust has been applied to the local track to get it into top racing condition for the fair. Rodeo coming up The annual Midwestern rodeo that is held in Exeter each Labour Day weekend is rapidly approaching. Rodeo officials are busily engaged lining up the three full programs. Two shows will be held on Saturday, September 5 at two o'clock in the afternoon and seven o'clock at night while the final show goes at two o'clock, Sunday afternoon. Prize money in the amount of $2,500 is available to contestants that will be appearing from all parts of Canada and the United States. A beauty contest will again be staged for girls from Exeter and the district including the winner of this week's Bean Festival Queen contest being held in Zurich. Three teams have each won 'two straight games in the Exeter and district Rec softball quarter-final playoffs and could wrap up their first rounds tonight, Thursday. In the "A" division Exeter Legion downed Grand Bend 10-3 and 4.1 to take a commanding lead in their best of five set in the first round. The other half of the top section is tied at a game apiece. Dufferin Hotel won the first game by a score of 17.5 over Custom Trailers Thursday but the trailer men came back to record a close 2-1 victory, Monday night. In the "B" category, Exeter Kinsmen hold a two game lead over Dashwood Industries as the result of 6.0 and 11-4 victories. The junior Hawks hold a similar edge over Crediton by posting wins of 9-0 and 9-6. Tonight, Thursday, a doubleheader will be played at Huron Park with the Kinsmen and Dash wood Industries meeting at 7:30 and Custom Trailers and Dufferin Hotel meeting in the second half at nine o'clock.
