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.
