Some may judge the success of a team or individual by the championships they win, but it may be more correct to credit a sport that gives a lot of people the opportunity to participate especially in this day and age when more leisure time is becoming available. More people than ever seem to be participating in golf, bowling, curling and lawn bowling. One of the most popular sports in the winter months seems to be sn o wrno In recognizing championship wins during 1970, the main ones were accomplished by the Lucan-Ilderton Jets in winning the OHA Intermediate "B" title, the Crediton bantams in taking the WOAA "D" crown and the South Huron triumphs in junior football and wrestling. Looking ahead to the new year we would hope for a repeat for the Jets and there is a very distinct possibility of three Exeter hockey clubs winning provincial championships. The junior Hawks seem to be the best in the western OHA "D" grouping while the Exeter bantams and novice hockeyists look as if they could go all the way. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people in Exeter and district that help us throughout the year by providing scores and information, As one can readily realize it's physically impossible to attend all the sports events personally so we depend on help from a lot of friends. While we will name_ a few of the folks involved we would apologize for any that we miss and that will probably happen. At the Exeter arena it's wonderful co-operation from Alvin Willert, Gary Middleton and John Roelofs. In conjunction with the recreation activities, swimming instructor Joan Warren and her staff were also very helpful along with the summer playground supervisors. While speaking of the arena, all minor hockey coaches do their share in sending along scores. For the junior Hawks manager Bob Baynham always brings us the reports of the away games. Another very active group at the arena is the Exeter figure skating club with president Barb Dougherty in charge of 135 youngsters. At the high school it's a thank you to Ron Bogart, Doug Ellison, Glenn Mickle, Jack Riddell, Lauretta Seigner, Mrs. Lee and Trudy Stover, etc. We shouldn't forget principal Joe Wooden and two of the school secretaries, Doris Swartz and Valerie Callingham, who we seem to bother so often to get messages to and from the various coaches. • ,In district hockey ranks we think of Don Urbshott, Steve. .Storey, Barry Beech and all of the wonderful fellows connected with the Lucan-Ilderton Jets, Add to this list Clare Stanley, the voice of the Lucan Irish, pardon me, the 'Fighting Irish' as Clare calls them, Bob Galloway who has taken over the reins of the Zurich Combines and Joe Regier of the Crediton Tigers. Thinking of summer sports, the names of Glenn Webb and Bill Vandeworp of the Dashwood Tiger baseball club pop into mind and Bob Sadler of the Huron-Perth baseball league along with Johntivermore. In minor ball this year we received great help from Lorne Preszcator and his wife Joyce in getting reports on the two Crediton teams. In other seasonal sports, we have had fine co-operation from the Exeter bowling lanes and the Exeter curling club. In connection with bowling it's Grace and Aub Farquhar and their many fine league secretaries especially Jack Fuller who has handled the men's statistics for many years. On the curling scene, last year especially Lois Learn was really helpful in providing-the men's scores. She was actually doing the job for husband Lee. The activities of the Exeter Legion mixed dart league were well reported by secretaries Edna Dietz and Annie Lawson. We can't forget the executive members of the Exeter Saddle club, the rodeo committee and the local pony racing club. Another busy group in the summer time can be found at the Exeter lawn bowling club. There help comes from fellows like Howard Ince, Len McKnight and Alvin Pym. To all of these people and others that we probably missed we would like to say a very sincere, "Thanks,". To all we would ask your continued co-operation in providing us with infoimation. In some cases we don't find out about events because we were not told about them. So give us a call, no matter how small the information may be, In closing, remember, if you can't Play a Sport, at least, BE ONE. A very Merry and Blessed Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to everyone.
