Actually it is now on the summer side of the corner. Winter activities are quickly winding up and spr- ing and summer sporting enthusiasts are getting eager to get going. :1 lot of hockey teams have come to the end of their schedules and playoffs and the four area figure skating carnivals have been completed. We were able to attend the four carnivals and each group in charge is to be congratulated for providing not only excellent shows but activities for a large number of boys and girls throughout the year. These ladies put a lot of effort into providing in- teresting carnivals and reviews. This list would in- clude Marie Tiernan, Agnes Aunger and Karen Davison of the Exeter figure skating club: Connie Lewis. Carol Dietz and Beth McGee of the Zurich - Grand Bend club: Sharon Glanville and Lynne Far- quhar at the Stephen township club and Lois Hodgins and company in Lucan. Another good effort The recent bowlathons held at the Exeter and Zurich bowling lanes have proved to be very beneficial to the local Big Brothers organization. The Exeter ladies bowling league appears to be leading in the amount of monies gained through pledges. According to the treasurer the ladies through special bowling efforts during the week of February 10 came up with a total of $1,066.56. During that week each member of the ladies league was allowed to select one of the three lines roll- ed and get pledges for so much per point. The honour of getting the most pledges for an in- dividual team goes to the Burklev Babes. Their pledges amounted to $478.47. A great year The first year at Ohio State University has turned out to be very successful for Paul and Perry Pooley of Exeter. The two local youngsters were valuable members of the Buckeyes hockey team this year and should be the backbone of the team come the 1981-82 season. With statistics up to a week of March 10, Paul Pooley was well out in front in the team's scoring with 27 goals and 30 assists for 57 points in 36 games. Twin brother Perry who was a regular on the Ohio State regular penalty killing team was tenth in scoring with his nine goals and 15 assists for 24 points. He played in 35 of the team's 37 games. In addition to being the club scoring leader, Paul scored eight power goals, notched two scores while his team was playing shorthanded and two of his goals were classed as game winners. The Deans are gone The last of a great brother combination in the early days of major league baseball has passed away. Paul Daffy" Dean died Tuesday in Springdale, Arkansas. Paul combined with his probably better known brother Dizzy Dean to create a tremendous pitching duo for the St. Louis Cardinals back in the 1930.s. Dizzy Dean drew special attention as an erratic baseball announcer after his playing career ended. He will be always remembered for his favorite saying ••He slud into second base." One of the highlights of our visit to Detroit during the 1%8 World Series was meeting Dizzy Dean. We shook hands with the famous pitcher. He greeted everyone with the same words, "Howdy pardner." Should do it Super star Wayne Gretzky appears to be a shoo-in now to set a new scoring record in the National Hockey league With seven, games to go Gretzky needs eight points to shatter the mark of 152 points set by Phil Esposito exactly 10 years ago. The Brantford flash picked up five points Saturday as his Edmonton Oilers tied Los Angeles 6-6. The Toronto Maple Leafs did little over the weekend to enhance their playoff chances. With only six games remaining the Toronto club is tied with Ed- monton for the last two playoff spots and the 1ashinf-'tr,n Capitals are only one point farther back. Washington and Edmonton each have one more game to play than the Leafs and also have a little easier schedule Each have one game with Hartford and Det r' it 11'e eaui'ht a part of the Detroit Red, Wings - Minnesota North Stars game on radio Sunday and it was great t.i to',ir about Dino Ciccarelli's fine efforts. The tomer London Knight who was slowed down in his effort, to get to the N111, scored four times for Minnesota to up nis season total to 15. He was only brought on to Minnesota on February 7. Exciting hockey locally The cur -rept playoffs in the South Huron intermediate li rkev league are providing interesting and exciting action for area fans. The Centralia College Saints and Zurich Buckeyes are engaged in one serni-final series while the Hensall Sherwoods are trw'tini. the Forest Boyds in the other. Zurich won the first game over Centralia in a se- cond overtime period while Hensall and Forest split the first two panes. Action resumes tonight. Wednesday with Zurich and the College playing at the Stephen township arena. The Hensall-Forest series resumes at the Hensall arena tomorrow night.

The third game will go in Belmont tonight, Wednesday with the fourth back in Lucan Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. The Belmont club has lost only two games during the entire 1980-81 season to date.

The chances of the Irish to Bantams win Consolation The Exeter bantams lost 2-1 to Kincardine V and G in the consolation finals Sun- day at the bantam tourna- ment in Exeter. ' The winners of the tourna- ment were the Stratford bantams. who beat'Desboro 7-1. The first game Exeter played was against the Walkerton team and Walker- ton won by a 1-0 score. The game was tight through the first two periods with both teams having scoring chances Only strong goaltending kept the game scoreless. With only 44 seconds left in the game. Andy Dales scored to give V%alkerton the win. In Exeter's next game, they played Seaforth and came out on top of a 1-0 score. Again the goaltending of both teams was excellent and going into the last minute of the third period, the score was tied at zero. With only nine seconds left in regulation play, John McDermid stole the puck and went in on a breakaway, beating the Seaforth goaltender. The goal was un- assisted. In the consolation finals Exeter had a bye and played Kincardine winner of the Wiarton-Kincardine game. Kincardine scored first. just 52 seconds into the game on a goal by Jodi Showers. With only two minutes left in the first period, Paul Stapleton of Kincardine scored what proved to be the winning goal. In the second period, an unassisted goal by Dan Morley at the 2:50 mark moved Exeter within one. but that was as close as they got. Missed scoring oppur- tunities and good netminding kept the score as it was.

It was the second time this year that referees did not show up. An earlier game with Mitchell was cancelled on that account. The long wait didn't ap- pear to bother the Belmont club. They came out flying to score the only two goals of the first period and were in front 6-0 by the end of the first 40 minutes of play. Ted Brulotte and Pete Gustin scored the first period Belmont goals while Bob Currie fired two successful middle frame shots and singles were fired by Mark Dale and Dave Todd.
