The energetic members of the Exeter saddle club
are busily completing plans for one of their biggest
enterprises of the season.
We are talking of the Mid-Western quarter horse
show which will be held Saturday June 10 at the clubs
new facilities at Huron Park.
With the help of Wintario grants, the club has a
very attractive and efficient show ring, stands and
refreshment booths which would be a credit to any
organization.
The Mid-Western quarter horse show was first es
tablished in 1966 by the Exeter saddle club. After a
couple of years of operation, sponsorship of the show
was taken over by the Exeter Kinsmen club.
After a lapse of two years the saddle club again
took over and this year’s is the eleventh annual show.
Saddle club secretary Jack Malone who is the
moving force behind the quarter show tells us the
local show is only two of its kind left in Western On
tario.
Malone told us, “It appears to be going like the
rodeo with not enough public interest and support. We
get excellent backing from the merchants in the area
but the spectators are lacking.”
The show is getting bigger every year. The
number of entries for the 1977 show reached 403 with
142 being in the youth categories.
The calibre of competition which will appear here
in less than two weeks is top notch. Many of the
horsemen and women have appeared at the quarter
horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio and Quarterama in
Toronto.
The only other Western Ontario quarter horse
show is held in Sarnia the day following the Huron
Park event.
Malone said it takes about $1,000 to operate the
show. This money goes to pay the judge, several other
outside officials and ribbons along with prize money,
The judge for this year is Ted Dodge of Lennon,
Michigan and Wayne Longfield of Thamesford will be
arena director.
The show gets underway with halter classes at 8
a.m. but the most exciting part for spectators comes
with the game events beginning at 1 p.m. in the after
noon.
Admission is only one dollar for adults. This is an
s excellent opportunity to see a top notch horse show.
The Exeter saddle club will also be holding four
club shows throughout the summer. They will be on
June 4 and 18, July 16 and August 20.
Two members of the Exeter saddle club are
regulars on the show trail. They are Joanne Malone
and Jennifer Rath.

A former professional
player who now coaches the
London Kings of the Senior
Intercontinental League,
Power was emphatic in
telling the players they had a
debt to repay to the com
munity for the benefits they
have derived from hockey.
However, he said that few
players volunteer to help
others, and he has found in
his coaching clinics that
many of the participants who
coach minor teams can’t
even skate.

“I know you fellows have
learned wpll, to win and
lose, and you should share
that experience. Get in
volved!”
The London coach said the
rewards of getting involved
“are tremendous” and noted
that he had founjd the
rewards of coaching far
greater than as a player.
Power, who played pro
hockey in Vancouver,
Springfield and Quebec
before returning to senior
hockey in Chatham and
Woodstock, was introduced
by Derry Boyle and thanked
by Hawks coach Ron Bogart.
The balance of the evening
was spent in handing out
trophies to the Hawks and
several members of the
Exeter Minor Hockey teams.
Phil Knight and Fred
Mommersteeg were double
winners in the trophy
presentations. Knight was
chosen as the best defen
ceman for the third year in a
row. He also won the league
trophy for that same title for
the second time this season.
The lanky rearguard
received the Campbell
Jeweller award presented to
the player picking up the
most points during the
season in the three-star
balloting at each game. The
model in
for younger
balloting was done by Derry
Boyle, Wally Burton and Ron
Bogart.
Mommersteeg, who was
unable to attend the banquet,
was picked as the team’s
most gentlemanly player
and also won the Hawk
award, presented to the
player who best displays
sportsmanship, dependa
bility, dedication and per-
severence over the season.

Coaches clinic
Coaches and prospective coaches for baseball and
softball in the area will have an excellent chance in
the near future to improve their techniques.
Local rec administrator Kirk Armstrong has lined
up a coaches clinic at the South Huron Rec Centre on
Saturday June 10.
It will get underway at 10 a.m. and expected to
continue for about three hours under the direction of
capable instructors from Kitchener.
Included in the clinic will be explanation of basic
rules and on the field demonstrations which will in
clude proper positioning.
Anyone wishing further information on this
clinic should contact Kirk Armstrong at 235-2833.
Hockey is
Hockey is probably a lot of different things to
different people but a new film recently produced by
the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation tells
what it really is all about.
The new film called “Hockey Is” is 24 minutes in
length, in colour and full sound, aimed directly at
parents and hockey organizers, but, is also quite
suitable for viewing by youngsters.
The goal in producing this film was to portray the
traditional meaning of hockey by clearly identifying
the necessary skills and the resultant mutual enjoy
ment from playing the game as defined by the rules.
It was also deemed important to make viewers
aware that hockey is an emotional and mental ex
perience as well as physical and that players especial
ly youngsters learn values as well as skills.
Towards this end it is hoped that this film will en
courage hockey spectators, particularly those with a
direct interest in the players, namely parents, to
assume their responsibility in seeing that hockey is
conducted in a style that ensures the best possible ex
perience for those playing.
Actually, it was the violence issue which got the
provincial government deeply concerned about hockey
and resulted in the formation of the Ontario Hockey
Council.
Hockey is a great game that stands on its own
merits. Violence may sell tickets to spectators who
have little or no appreciation for the component skills
of the game, but its the contention of the Recreation
Ministry that we must not allow this type of show
business hockey to redefine the meaning of the game,
especially in such a manner that a great measure of
enjoyment in participation is taken away from the
players.
Anyone wishing to obtain the film should contact
Don Butland at the ORA office at 559 Jarvis street in
Toronto.
