In Zurich Friday night, the Expos triumphed by a score of 12-5 and Sunday afternoon back in home territory the score was 16.7, The Exeter club faces a tough schedule this week. Last night, Wednesday they were in Thorn- dale, Saturday they travel to Clinton to meet the colts and the same two clubs meet again at Exeter Community Park Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. The Clinton Colts won the OBA championship in the "B" category in 1973 and appear to have another strong team this year. Sunday's game saw the first appearance in an Expo uniform of Jim Lewyckyj, a former Intercounty pitcher at Galt. Lewyckyj pitched five innings against Zurich and turned in a creditable performance. He allowed one run and three hits while striking out eight. Southpaw Paul McKnight threw the last four-frames.

GOOD .SPORTS By Ross .Hough Area sports In recent weeks little has been heard about the ac- tivities of the area recreation committee which has been attempting to co-ordinate all activities. The thought came to mind again Wednesday morning when we talked to Wayne Horner, clerk of Hay township. While getting the Hay Council report he told us officials of the Zurich Municipal Recreation Committee were asking the township for funds to be used for general repairs to the Zurich arena. In the same vein extensive repairs are imminent for the Hensall arena and here in Exeter the present arena is ex- pected to be satisfactory for only a year or two. While discussing the Zurich request Wayne put forth his own personal view that area recreation people should be putting their heads together for joint projects to provide the necessary recreation facilities. He thought now would be a good time to get together as at least three communities need new arenas, but added, "I don't know how costs could be shared." This brings back the dreams of a sports complex similar to the one we visited in Tillsonburg a few months ago. One large complex to include a wide range of recreational facilities would sure be superior to three or four smaller ones offering limited services. Just in preliminary thinking a lot of obstacles come to mind. First of all would be the location of such a complex. Exeter would be the largest area which would probably par- ticipate but would not necessarily be central. At the first meeting of area rec officials late last fall someone made the suggestion Dashwood would be an ideal location. Doing a quick mental survey of the area which could use these recreational activities we find the exact centre loca- tion would be on Highway 83, about a mile and a half west of Exeter. This is using Grand Bend on the west and Kirkton and the easterly boundaries of Usborne township on the east, the Mt. Carmel road on the south and Kippen to the north. A country location would have its advantages. Plenty of parking could be provided in a rural area and the problem of getting to and from rinks and swimming pools doesn't seem to pose as much of a problem as it once did. When Wayne Horner was talking about this he said even in Zurich a lot of parents drive their children to the arena and more young people are driving cars. For several years now youngsters from Hensall have been using the Exeter swimming pool facilities on a regular daily basis during the summer months. They have been making the trip by bus and the arrangements seem to be successful. Location and transportation are likely the most easily solved problems. Money — that's a different story. Off hand we don't have any idea how much is available it goverpm(i gyags ,and subsidies but feel it could be' quite " sUbstantial, • chg Thinking back to a meeting we attended in Grand Bend Tuesday regarding a proposal for a sewage system in the summer resort, government officials said grants were made only when a need for the service in question could be justified. In a situation such as this proving the need should not be a great problem. There is certainly a need to replace the three arenas we mentioned earlier and the need for many other recreation services denied a large percentage of the populus. Swimming which is now limited to only a couple of months in the summer could be a year round activity with the inclusion of an indoor pool. PrObably one of the mostimportantrecreation activities which all of us regardless of age could take part in would be a health club. The equipment in the health club at the Tillsonburg complex is extensive as most private clubs. Exercising is something most of us don't take the time or maybe don't want to use the energy to engage in. There are several possible ways to work the financing and cost sharing. Presently, Exeter and three area township share in an area fire agreement and it appears to be working quite well. We realize this would be on a much greater scale than a fire agreement but could be operated on a similar system based on population and the area covered. Might be a pipe dream, but it's at least worth thinking about and there is no time like the present. Costs of any building project are growing by leaps and bounds, so waiting could be costly.
