Wingham to get sports Wall of Fame
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
A proposal was brought to North
Huron council that will see tribute
paid to local athletes. Al Harrison
attended the March 4 meeting of
council to discuss a Sports Hall of
It's not Fl
Fame, which would be erected at the
new North Huron Wescast
Community Complex.
Harrison said he had brought the
idea to Wingham town council
several years ago and at that time it
was met favourably. "They
encouraged me to pursue it and
come up with a concept when I had
time."
Preserving the history of sports in
Wingham, Harrison said, is
important. "I believe it is important
to preserve not just the heritage that
we see at the Museum, but this
community has a deep history in
sports."
He noted as examples NHL player
Jeff Bloemberg, track and field
athletes Doug Wood and Julie Lisle.

School. (David Blaney photo)
Harrison also made note of the many
learns which have captured
provincial championships.
He added that with Wingham's
125th coming up, the time was right
to get the project started.
The wall chosen is about 26 feet in
length between the food booth and
the lounge. There would be an oak
railing before the plaques and
overhead lighting. They would be
hung with a secure mounting.

Harrison suggested three
categories, team, athletes and
builders. The criteria for selection
will be strict, he noted. "There is not
going to be every Tom, Dick or
Harry on that wall. People will have
to earn it."
While he said that it was unlikely,
being as they have their own arena,
that Blyth would be interested in
having athletes displayed here,
Harrison did note that the honour
would extend beyond Wingham's
immediate boundaries. Also, he said
it was noted restricted to hockey or
ball, but sports in general.. • •
Induction would begin with
probably 12 teams and 12 athletes as
well as a half a dozen builders. This
would be added to each year. A
committee would be struck to
review applications then bring a
recommendation for approval. "By
2004 it should be a pretty impressive
wall."
Start-up costs, he "guesstimated"
to be $1,500-$2,000 for the railing
etc., while plaques would be in the
area of $40 per plaque. Noting the
contributions from local teams to
date, Harrison said he was reluctant
to ask for more.
Councillor Jeff Howson made a
motion, which was approved, for
Harrison to continue with the project
and that it be included in the
recreation budget.
It may not be a big money formula but the Brussels and Blyth
Cub packs had a great deal of fun racing their Kub Kars. The
event was the 1st Brussels Invitational Kub Kar Rally held at
Brussels Public School. (David Blaney photo)
