FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS -
By Ross Haugh
Plan
complex '
This is our first column for the year 1975 and we would
like to.take a quick look at what could happen in the spor-
ting world not only locally, but nationally"and international-
ly.
▪ One of the most important subjects on the local front is
planning on the proposed recreational complex. When first
talkedd about it was called a s rts co_ mplex. this -is -sort
of misleading -as -a -centre of su--- cth magnit-ude would cover
the complete segment of recreation and fulfill the needs of
leisure time for persons of all ages.
The" committee--'-in---charge of planning has called a
meeting for Tuesday, January 14 at the Exeter Public
School library at 8 p.m.
An article elsewhere in this issue tells about the up,
coming meeting and the hopes of the grciilp'in receiving
reaction and input from the.public.
The first reaction wanted by the committee is on
proposed sites. Anyone whether for or against the proJect
or any site is urged to attend the meeting and voice their
views.
• John Stephens of town has been named chairman of the
recreation complex committee. In our opinion this was an
excellent choice.
John is head of the agricultural business management
division at Centralia Agricultural College and has 10 years
experience with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture in
Guelph and Toronto.
New seniors quarters
One of the busiest groups in 1975 will be the senior
citizens of Exeter and district.
Thanks to a couple of government grants under the New
Horizons 'program, two facilities are. being renovated and
updated for use by the area's seniors.
The clubhouse at the Exeter lawn bowling club is being
enlarged and renovated forallyear-round use. In addition to
accommodating bowlers in the summer months, the rooms
will now be used for card playing and other recreation ac-
tivities throughout the year.
The latest grant of $8,000 is being used on the Exeter
Lions Scout House on John Street west. In addition to some
renovations, the monies will be.used to purchase equipment
and supplies.
The former Scout house will be called Well -Come Inn.
Exeter Rec director Jim McKinlay who has been very in-
strumental in the seniors activities said he hopes the
program at Well -Come Inn will be self sustaining in about a
year and a half.
The building will be equipped with a refrigerator. card
tables..chairs and craft facilties. It is expected the ladies
will be setting up quilting frames to follow a favorite hobby.
Murray Neil is president of the Exeter Senior Citizens.
Bigger and better playground
. , jp his first full summer here as recreation director.
iitaMeKinlay hopes to expand several other programs. He
expects to spend a lot of time in enlarging and improving
the summer playground program.
During the last couple of years the senior playground
program at Exeter Community park has been running on a
small scale while the younger fry have enjoyed the park and
wading pool facilities • at Victoria park on Huron Street
west. •
McKinlay hopes to make the sites more conducive to
children and enlarge the activities. Continuing. McKinlay
commented. "we won't have too. many changes at the
swimming pool. but we hope to successfully defend the
.swimming championship we won last year."
Roller skating which proved to be very successful on a
limited basis during the late summer months of 1974 will be
• extended to the full summer season.
There is a distinctpossibility of the introduction locally
of the sport of lacrosse. Interest in tennis should also in-
crease sharply with the construction of new courts near the
high school and'Exeter Public School.
McKinlay said he expects to spend a goodly amount of
time on planning co-operative recreation programs with
neighbouring townships.
More sports celebrities
One of the early highlights of 1975 locally will be the
second annual Exeter Lions club Sportsmen's dinner.
Lloyd Ross, Murray Moore. Frank Giffin and many
other Lions club members have been working hard in lining
up an attractive lineup of speakers.
The. headline speaker is Jack Donohue. coach of
Canad 's National basketball team. He will be ably sup-
ported' by harness horse driver Shelley Goudreau, Ron
Leflore of the Detroit Tigers. golfer Ken Doig, Montreal
Alouettes Glen Weir and Mike Widger Tuffy Knight of
Wilfred Laurier University. curler Gt'orge Parkes and
former top fastball hurler Russ Evon.
Add to this the presence of crippled kids greatest friend
Whipper Billy Watson and the master of ceremonies Bruce
Murray of St.. Marys. who is a tremendous after dinner
speaker in his own right.
In 'addition to a goodly number of confirmed guests are
the possibilities of having Fred Shero, Earl Ross and Mike
Jorgenson also in attendance.

Correction
Charlie Sims of Crediton is one of the most enthusiastic
fishermen in thearea and heended the Aar 1974 with two
good catches in the Nine Mile River at Port Albert on
December 29. -
•
- • A picture of Charlie and his two big rainbow trout
appeared ori the front page of the December 31 issue but the
weights were incorrect.
• The trout weighed 10 and six pounds instead of 10 and 16
pounds. "Sorry Charlie. Made for a good fish story, though..-
•
.
worthy honour
It was vety gratifying to hear that Ken Doig of Seaforth
placed third in the voting for the best golfer of the year 1974 ,.
in the province of Ontario. ,
Ken enjoyed•one of his better years on the golf links and
represented Ontario in the Canadian -Amateur at Winnipeg
and was chosen as one of four Canadians to compete_ in
International competition in the fall.
Dbig was surpassed only by Gary Cowan of Kitchener
.and Kelly- Roberts of Lopdon as the top amateur and
professional golfers lin the province. " . • -
