September 28, 1978 Si mors win exhibition Sports Spro�light Three. cheefs ;A The week of November 1 will'mark the end of a lot of worry, concern and excitement - for a number of area communities. • That's when the new Hensall arena •will be 'of- ficially opened. This will bring to a, conclusion con- _ struction of three arenas _which were condemned in the spring of 1975. The South Huron Rec Centre in Exeter Was open- ed in August of 1977 and only a few weeks ago the Lucan Community Centre was officially declared open. There was a lot of criticism and concern when the arenas were ordered to shut down but that has now turned to pride. All three communities now have excellent facilities to take care of the recreational needs of ail of their population regardless of age. Local MPP 'Jack Riddell probably- was pretty close to the truth when he said at the Lucan arena opening that'_closing of the_arenas_was - the best thing that could have happened. The government edict certainly angered a lot of people but. when community minded folks get angry they try harder to meet their goals and in these three municipalities they did exactly that. While arrangements haven't been completely finalized for the Hensall arena bpening.-reeve Coog Knight told us that he expects the Official opening will be held Wednesday, November 1: He said he hoped Thursday night would be devoted to a family night and dances would be held on Friday and Saturday nights. Attempts are also being made for an .old 'timers hockey game sometime during the week.

We eavesdropped for a few minutes on one of the. meetings and the setup for 'selection of the teams im- pressed us a lot. " _ In order to keep the calibre of the six teams on an even keel a draft system will -be used to stock the teams. Each team will be allowed to protect two players and from then on each team irt'turn wily pick a player from the master list of all those who wish to play this year. ' ' At the moment the only ice time available for the rec league at the South Huron Rec Centre is Mondays and Thursdays from 9 p.m. to midnight. While' this is -far from an ideal time to play hockey. all team'representatives were agreed that the games should be played in Exeter if at all possible. As this was being written we received another, call from Kirk Armstrong at the Rec Centrelhat players wishing to compete in the rec league ?bust register by October 6 at the Rec Centreany Monday through Fri- day from 9 a.m. to5p.m. • The first 120_ players will be accepted and a draft meeting will be held October 10.

Oc- tnber 2 ' - Tickets to go up Du to inflation and the reduced value of the Canadian dollar. the Toronto Blue Jays are expected to increase ticket prices for the 1979 season. President Peter Bavasi of the Blue Jays said recently that the club is paying more than 1800.000 ex- tra because of the deflated dollar. The Jays problem is simply this. Their revenue -is all in Canadian dollars while most of their expen- ditures are paid out in American currency. - •There is. a non-discrimination clause in the players agreement which says all must be treated equally and since 24 of the 26 teams are based in the United States they must all be paid with US funds. • • All the administrative staff of -the Blue Jays in- bluding Bavasi is paid in Canadian money. • Redmen (If Clinton The sante afternoon. the South Huron seniors scored a 17-14 victory over North Middlesex of Parkhill iw an exhibition game.
