Mr. Knight attributes the success Optimism works for him of his teary. to his positive thinking and optimistic philosophies. Above, from left are some of the newly appointed executive, Junior Doupe, treasurer, Al Eveleigh, president, Mr. Knight, and Lloyd Fletcher, secretary. T -A photo Speaker stresses positive attitudes "i'm only interested in win- ning. It's very important to me." The speaker also admitted he was a very poor sport. But he has a reputation of being one of the • most optimistic men in the country. Tuffy Knight, gh , Golden Hawks football coach of Sir Wilfred Laurier University, Waterloo was the guest speaker at the annual Kirkton-Woodham Winter CarnivalCtub banquet. Although the university is considered small with an enrollment of 2200 students. it has one of the greatest football teams in Canada. Mr. Knight believes this is due to his optimistic attitude. "You have to have a positive attitude in life and athletics," the speaker told the audience. He said attitudes develop early in Stephen council — Continued from front page The bid of Lee Jennison of Grand Bend to supply and apply about 125 flaked tons of liquid calcium at $73.35 per ton was 'accepted. There were two other tenders. Donald Clarke of Huron Park has been added to the township's road department to replace Joseph Varley who will be retiring.in June after more than 20 years of service. life. "We don't have any negative attitudes at Sir Wilfred Laurier," he said. "We tell our athletes they are the best in the world, and they believe it." Ele drew a comparison to the Kirkton-Woodham Community ('entre, saying someone had to believe they could build it. "if you don't believe in your- self, neither will anybody else," he said. • "We believe you have to mentally see yourself perform. You must see yourself do great things to achieve great things." Mr. Knight said he used to get the football team "all fired up" before a game. He said the team would then go out on the field and forget things. He said the positive altitude has proven to be much better. "People always believe their elders," he said, "but the elders may not be an authority. At Sir Wilfred, we never use a negative affirmation. We use positive statements to correct mistakes," he added. "You must believe in the positive," he stated again. "We believe.we have the best football team in the country." He then wondered if some of the audience might wonder why, with these attitudes, they lost a cham- pionship game last year again, - At.

Arena to be priority in rec complex plan This is the second of a series o articles regarding a proposed recreation complex for Exeter and district prepared by the committee in charge of planning The recreational committee feels the most important work to he done now is the planning for a new arena. In planning fo • ,recreational facilities the aren •'' is considered to be the first phas in long term planning toward . hopefully what will be adequat facilities for everyone in tfi area. Good planning now will ensure • that we get the most out of a new arena and avoid mistakes that have been made by communities who often hurry their planning Also. planning now Will ensure additional facilities can be added easily when the community can afford it. The following report by Jack Underwood indicates that a new arena may be needed sooner than expected. "Fixed costs for the operation of the present arena which would be reduced in a new arena are about $5,000 for insurance and $5.000 for general repairs. This amounts to an annual cost of $10.000 which is fixed regar: dless of who uses it or how many people are employed, etc. An engineering report in 1972 recommended roof repairs to bring the roof loading up to standard at an estimated cost of $55.000. Assuming an inflation factor of 10-12 percent per year, the cost today would be about $76,000 with an additional $6,000 in engineering costs. The present refrigeration system has been in place for about 23 'years. Each year the floor heaves badly especially near the end of the season. The question is not really how long will the pipes in the floor f last, but rather. how have they lasted this long? It is possible to fix pipes if they start to leak. This would mean • removing the trap rock floor,thus spoiling the overall floor for any activity other than ice skating. If one leak occurs, others will ✓ probably follow in the near a future. e The replacing of refrigeration s pipes would require a new floor e and drainage to stop the heaving. e Listowel recently had an estimate of $110.000 for a new floor and piping system. if a new com- pressor were required this might cost an additional $40,000. The repairs to the roof involve • cross ties which would interfere with the present lighting system. Moving the existing sy$tem would be difficult as many of the lamp bases and pipes have become corroded over the years and any attempt to repair would reduce them to scrap. A new system has been roughly estimated at $20.000 . So what are the costs of repairing the present arena? . Upgrading the roof and engineering, $82,000; new floor and refrigeration pipes. 5110.000 ; new refrigeration compressor. $40.000 and new bighting system $20.000 for a total of $252,000. These costs are based on -rough estimates only and probably on the conservative side. The ice surface of the present arena is 70 feet by 170 feet. The minimum size recommended by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association is 80 feet by 180 feet. We now have an ice surface which is less than minimum. Since it is a wood structure it would be difficult to reduce the fixed costs such as insurance and repairs. One word with regard to the engineering report. The arena has not deteriorated structurally and is in no danger of falling down or collapsing unlesss there are high snow or wind loads which could be carried by buildings built to todaya stan- dards." Jack Underwood concludes with a personal comment, "the standard of hockey or figure skating will not be materially - effected by the replacement of the arena by a new one. i feel the standard is presently very high and will probably remain so in the future." Police protest - Continued from front page a distance of 30 miles from London or Goderieh OPP offices. He said that for the OPP to keep in line with the Exeter municipal system. they would have to have a closer radio base station and 'maintain it on a 24- hour basis. • "Someone has to pay for this," Chief Day pointed out. In addition he said, the present toll free telephone number used to contact the OPP is not always available for quick service, especially at peak periods. such as Fridays and Saturdays. The - Exeter police force presently has about $8.000 tied up in radio equipment. has contact with four other Huron towns and has excellent dispatching ser- vice. "if taken over by the OPP, all this equipment must be changed and modified to he on the same frequency as the OPP and this will .also cost considerable money," he said. He concluded by saying he hoped all the citizens of Exeter will take the facts into con- sideration and continue with their co-operation and assistance of their local police force. "Your Family Health Centr, Times -Advocate, March 27, 1975 Meeting sees little senior accomplishment The Tuesday meeting of the Community Committee on Aging didn't accomplish much. That was the consensus of Mayor Bruce Shaw at the end of the meeting and supported by council's Community and social services chairman Lossy Fuller and recreation director Jim McKinlay. The meeting was called to "get some feedbacks from the seniors of Exeter according to Shaw.. While there are between 700 and 800 seniors in the community, a total of 33 persons met at _the Legion. These included council and RAP representatives. Rec director McKinlay traced the steps of the recreational aspects of the Exeter seniors. He said at present there are groups of seniors participating in lawn bowling, alley bowling, card playing, the Senior Citizen Club, and the Well -Corrie Inn -seniors. He said a mistake was made when the New Horizon grants were applied for last year. He conceded that _by_receiving_-the two grants. it formed two new groups of seniors. He indicated that with more groups, there was more friction between all of them. The two New Horizon grants include the 55.000 grant that renovated the lawn bowling club, and the $8.600 grant to renovate and equip the Boy Scout Hall for the Well -Come Inn group. He said the purpose of the meeting was to solve the problems that had been created. In order to solve the problems Mayor Shaw asked the seniors if they would consider forming an executive group. This group, he said, would be of representatives of all of the present senior groups in Exeter. Dave Zyluk, a member of RAP, said that as a teacher of grades seven and eight, he found that '-1some of his students wanted to visit the shut in seniors but didn't know who to contact to do such a thing. He said they were referred from one group of seniors to another, and accomplished little. The Meals -On -Wheels program was mentioned by Mayor Shaw. He said council had no way of knowing how many seniors were in need of this service. He believed that with a represen- tative group. it would have made the job much easier. Ben Hoogenboom, of the Exeter Board of Trade, said as a member of the Kinsmen Club, he also knows of this problem. He said the Kinsmen visit shut-insat Christmas . time. He said from these experiences he knows there Damages Tight in two crashes (ml} two accidents were in- vestigated this week by Exeter town police officers.

Large crowd at organ recital More than 300 persons jammed Bethel Reformed church in Exeter Sunday night -to hear an organ recital and witness the dedication of a new organ. Jan Overduin, a well known organist on the European con- tinent and in Great Britain conducted the organ recital. The organ was dedicated on behalf of those who lost their fives in World Wars 1 and 11 and especially during the liberation of the Netherlands. A plaque was affixed to the organ by Reg McDonald and Le Webber on behalf of The R. Pooley Exeter branch 167 of Royal Canadian Legion. An offering in excess o will go to the hunger relief d of Compassion of Canada are about 100 seniors in town that would benefit from the Meals -On - Wheels program. At the present time, Meals -On - Wheels serve eight people. Rev. Henry Van Essen of Bethel Reformed Church said, "we need senior citizens who can interpret to council what their fellow senior citizens need." He said he was concerned about those seniors that don't participate. He said he was concerned about the total life of the senior citizens. Rev. Van Essen -said the responsibility of looking after people, "has shifted from the church to the whole society." He suggested those opposed to the New Horizon gr'ants "bury •i," hatchet of the grants and turn over a new leaf." McKinlay said that with no present representation to council from the various groups of seniors that council had to assume their needs. "'The problem with assuming is that we don't know what people are thinking," he said. A member of 'the audience offered that one of the positions of a formed executive group could be that of a social convener. That person. she said, could draw up a list of all • Exeter seniors, in- cluding names. addresses and phone numbers. From this, she indicated. some of their needs would be known. Both Mayor Shaw and rec director McKinlay said this was a good idea. They indicated it would form a liaison between council and the seniors. Although Mayor Shaw was the first to say the meeting had ac- complished little, .social services committee member Harold Patterson said it did accomplish something. He said they all would he thinking about it. Mayor Shaw said that it is possible another such meeting will be called, but that it will be advertised in advance.
