Prov. J The twelfth annual Midwestern Ontario Rodeo, set for Saturday and Sunday right here in Exeter, promises to be "even better" than ever according to rodeo officials. Since 1967, 8,000 to 10,000 people have been witnessing a growing spectator event each year. Again this year, the grand entry parade will signal the start of another roundup of ornery livestock by a determined bunch of cowboys, Champion riders, ropers and other rodeo performers will once again exhibit daring and skill to the delight of thousands of spectators. Competitors will be attempting to add to their totals in the overall rodeo points competition. In the few years that Exeter has promoted rodeo, it has produced a champion of its own in the person of Barry Mousseau of Hensall who, last year, was awarded the All-Around Cowboy Championship for the third year in a row. As the crowds have continued to grow each year, the rodeo directors have added seating until now the rodeo ring is almost completely surrounded by seats. This year, the covered grand- stand seats are included as free seats and those who come early will get the best choice. Cowboys and cowgirls have found Exeter a good place to come to. Competitors arrive from all over eastern United States and all across Canada in such numbers that often there are too many for the public to see in the time allotted for each event. Elimination events have to be hbld Vo that the paSiing'§fecrafiftr. sees only the finalists perform. Besides the standard events such as bullriding, bare-back and saddle bronc riding, this year's rodeo will include a new event, wild horse racing. A team of three cowboys are assigned to a bronc in the bucking chutes. The horse, when released, must be controlled by the three men, saddled and ridden in the fastest time. It is a very wild . , . and dangerous event. Mel Wakfield who supplies the horses and bulls for rodeos has indicated there will be a good string of strong Brahma bulls this year. Dick McAllister, a professional clown, will ac- company the bulls in the ring.He has a good assortment of acts including a comical trick car act. A special feature this year will be Roman Riding performed by a young lady from Michigan who will also display trick riding. A rock band will be on hand to provide music during the in- termission and in addition, music will accompany all rodeo events, The "Little Britches" steer riding event continues to attract a large number of entries of boys and girls. This event has produced some outstanding riders with the girls taking their share of the prize money. This year, a contestant has registered from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Various service clubs plus the Exeter Minor Baseball Association have particpated in the work and profits of the food and drink concessions. Every year except one, the rodeo committee has received a reasonable profit for their ef- 'Whs. The dfrectbrs'have pur- posely kept the rodeo as a non- profit venture, putting the profits into more seating 'and also repairs to the rodeo ring. Over the years the Exeter rodeo committee have supported the Exeter Minor Hockey Broncos, sent donations to the Crippled Children's Society and have also financially supported the South Huron Association For The Mentally Retarded. PUC to continue free locating The Exeter Public Utilities Commission decided at its August meeting Monday that it would continue the policy of providing a free service in locating water services for customers, The topic came up when commission manager Hugh Davis mentioned that the com- mission crews were being called out to locate water and sewer services on private property with increasing frequency. He said with the present stage of the sewers nearing completion, the number of requests would likely remain steady or increase. Mr. Davis said that each such call tied up a man and a truck, in addition to an electronic ap- paratus to locate the service, for about three quarters of an hour. He asked if the commission "would consider authorizing a charge of from $5 to $10 per call for such service. Commission chairman R. E. Pooley admitted that any ,I4siness must cover its costs but tffought that the suggested fee might be high. Commissioner Murray Greene said instituting a charge at this time might cause bad public relations coming at the same time as water and hydro rate increases. Mr. Davis suggested to council that they have already spent thousands of dollars in this manner, receiving no revenue. Mayor Bruce Shaw said that he thought the public relations angle was important and suggested holding off on a charge for the time being. He admitted his thinking might be more political than reasonable. The mayor also pointed out that anyone who has already received the service has received it for nothing with the cost spread over all utilities customers. He reasoned that it would only be reasonable to have the cost spread on the service to be provided for those remaining. Three time champion of the Exeter Rodeo, Barry Mousseau will be returning for the 1975 edition and this year will act as arena director . Barry's wins at Exeter are just a few of his accomplishments as a cowboy as he competes in about fifteen rodeos a year. Starting out training and showing horses,Barry jumped to the rodeo in 1970 and promptly rode off with the "Rookie Of The Year" title. In addition, in his first year as a rodeo performer, he won the Saddle Bronc Championship and placed fourth in steer wrestling and eighth in bull riding. In 1971 Barry continued his winning ways, copping the Saddle Bronc Championship once again, placing fourth in the Bareback Bronc, second in the Steer Wrestling and second in the All- Around Cowboy, In 1972, Barry captured the All- Around Championship, the Saddle Bronc Championship plus a second in the steer wrestling. Again in 1973, Barry won the All- Around Cowboy Championship, the Saddle Bronc Championship and a fifth in the steer wrestling. In the 1974 rodeo season, Barry accomplished an All-Around Cowboy Championship. Saddle Bronc Championship, Steer Wrestling Championship and a third in the Calf Roping. Barry is currently doing very well in the Steer Wrestling and Calf Roping after retiring from Saddle Bronc riding.
