In addition to great performances at the Huron - Perth and WOSSA levels, 11 local high school stars qualified for the western regional meet which was held Saturday at Centennial Stadium in Kitchener. Of this group. four finished in the top five in their own categories and are of this week to Thunder Bay to compete in the all -Ontario high school championship. Steve Pearce, Dave Shaw, Jeff Rowe and Matt McClure are boardinga charter plane at London airport at 11 p.m. tonight. Wednesday for the trip to Thunder Bay. Pearce who finished third in the senior boys javelin throw at the western division met in Kitchener and McClure who was second in the open 400 metre hurdles will compete in Thunder Bay on Friday. Saturday action in the north will see Dave Shaw and Jeff Rowe in action in the same event, the junior boys javelin throw. Shaw was second at Kitchener in the javelin and Rowe was fifth in the same event. Best of luck to the four South Huron athletes as they attempt to bring home provincial honours to the local school. This area will be well represented when the Special Olympics for handicapped athletes are held in Ottawa, from July 16 to 19. Three representatives from ARC Industries in Dashwood have qualified to compete in Ottawa and should make excellent showings. A couple of weeks ago, Dorothy Dakins who is a resident of the group home on John Street in .Exeter won two red ribbons in a regional meet in Kincardine. Dorothy because of limited training facilities in this area had only a couple of practice swims before going to Kincardine. With the help of swimming coach Bonnie Baynham, Dorothy's training program is going to accelerate and she should do very well in the big show in Ottawa. On the track and field level, atheletes from Dashwood brought home 14 red ribbons from a district meet in Palmerston and two qualified to go on to Ot- tawa. Gary Stebbins of Grand Bend won four events in Palmerston and Brian Clarke of Thedford, brought home two first place awards. Both are ARC Industries employees. Paul Runnalis who is the woodworking supervisor at ARC will be accompanying the athletes to Ottawa as a track and field coach representing region four. We wish these three young people the best of luck as they compete in the Special Olympics. It's great to see these handicapped young people show so much enthusiasm. We were at ARC Monday and talked to these three who were just bubbling over with enthusiasm •over their trip to Ottawa. Hockey in the news Despite the current summery weather, hockey has taken over the sports news locally with good news out of the OHA midget priority draft held at the North York arena in Toronto. Saturday. Two local young people were selected and are ex- pected to attend training camps of their respective new clubs. Dave Shaw was the second round and pick of the OHA Junior "A" champion Kitchener Rangers and Tom Coates was selected by the Brantford Alexanders as their 14th selection. Shaw had a call from the Kitchener organization Friday night to find out if he would report if selected. The answer was in the affirmative and the Rangers picked the local youngster who celebrated his 17th birthday last Monday, in the second round. We talked to Keith Coates Monday and he in- dicated that son Tom would report to Brantford train- ing camp in the fall. He said Alexanders new coach Bep Guidolin is expected to visit the Exeter area later this week to talk to the Coates family. The two drafted young players are currently in grade 11 at South Huron District High School and both fathers have stressed continuation of their schooling is going to be a very important issue. The Toronto Marlboros and London Knights also showed interest in obtaining the services of Shaw. q'fi AIRBORNE — Exeter's Brian Blackburn takes to t e sky at a houseleague race at Hully Gully.
