Shriners golf event: grows in popularity The Bluewater Shrine Club's se- cond annual golf tournament is grow- ing in popularity as a fine way to raise funds . for their worthy cause - Shriners Hospitals for crippled children in North America. • Wednesday at Oakwood Inn Golf Club about 75 golf enthusiasts registered for the $100 per person event. About half were Shriners themselves and the other half were area supporters. Seventy-five dollars of each ticket went directly to the charity, thus pro- ving that fundraising can be tun as well as rewarding work. To attest to this premise, Bob McKinley of (Tin- ton has already been assigned as tour nament committee chairman for 198; to take over from Lorne Kleinstiver and his 10 -member committee. When the word Shriners is mention ed, the image that comes to mind i'- a noisy hunch of grown men in funn;. hats scooting around in miniature firs engines with screaming sirens and bells followed by delighted children retrieving the scattered candy treats. This 220 member Bluewater Club is eagerly sought after to participate in parades and centennial celebrations in towns from Wingham to Parkhill and Goderich to Mitchell. As a service club, the Bluewater Shriners are unique in that they are a travelling unit, meeting once a month, but in a different town in the Huron county are each time. This has a special appeal for some members who are unable to travel - they know that eventually they will be able to join in the social dinner meeting that will be held in their town at least once k year. These meetings are also planning meetings for the various fund raising events such as the well known fish fries held each year, Exeter resident and Shriner Earl Long speaks with a note of excitement in his voice as he related that the Bluewater Club will participate by re- quest this year in the Goderich Festival of Arts and Crafts, July 18 and the Port Albert sesquicentennial celebrations. He is proud to be a member of this dedicated group of men whose ages range all the way from 21 to 85 but whose one aim is to make an "Invest- ment in Humanity" to help improve the quality of life for crippled and burned children. Over 800 watch groan and moan show, y,wigiiith&sitiiti Wrestlers uttriit hurled put at the'rigg and continued their *Mk,s vertualty in the laps of the ringlde spectators. Souvenir programs Sold briskly and the wrestlers took turns signing autographs for the young admirers. Little "T", while a tittle short of the gold adornments of the popular star of _ the A -Team, was among the favorites and delighted the crowd with his speedy work against a much larger opponent who had been added in view of an auto accident which took the other midget wrestler out of action. Little "T" darted between his oppo- nent's legs with nimble moves that Professional wrestling made one of its periodic forays into Exeter, Fri- day, and the grapplers were welcom- ed by an enthusiastic, and predominantly young, crowd of about 800. While many of the performers featured in the promotion for the event failed to make appearances and several of those who did appear were clearly far removed frau their glory days; none of that appeared to daunt the audience. Audience members were clearly knowledgeable about the performers and didti t take long to respond kind - la the "good guys' and heap their wrath upon the "bad guys". Adding some interest was the fact most of the wrestlers managed to get Jets head the pack in Lucan rec play The 1986 version of the Lucan Men's Slowpitch rec league -is off to a fast start with one-third of the regular season already past, a three team race for top place i; quickly forming. The big surprise to many observers is the play of the Jungle Joose Jets. Currently in first place, the Jets have established a well disciplined defence allowing only 14 runs in six of their seven wins. Strong pitching from Pete Cornellisen and first year pitcher Dave Smith combined with a stingy defence and timely hitting have enabled the Jets to be a force to be reckoned with and a strong contender for post season play. Ai Second place is presently held by Toohey's Tigers and Debbie's Kit- chen. The Tigers have a strong of- fence with Larry Greenlee leading the attack with a league lending six home runs. With'the addition of Dave Hall, Dave Revington, Pat Holland and others, Toohey's will definitely score a lot of runs and be in the hunt for the playoff race. Debbie's Kitchen is anorchered by a strong defence and an ambundance of speed. Wayne and Russ Smith leads the way for the Kitchen squad with many years of experienceand talent. If Debbie's can get a potent of- fence consistently, they could prove to be the most well-balanced team in the league and a serious threat in the playoffs. Bringing up the last three positions in this newly formed six team league are two-time champions The Town Criers, Lions Club and the Grand Cen- tral Hotel. The Criers are off to a slow start but are expected to be in the TOURNAMENT WINNER — Exeter resident Dave McLeod is presented with the Bluewater Shrine Club Gold Trophy by Shriner Earl long of Exeter. McLeod's name will be inscribed on the trophy as the 1986 low gross scoring player. Sixty-four other prizes were also awarded at this second annual Shrine tournament.

In a tournament in Kincardine, the Kincardine crew scored three times in their first at bat and that was all they needed as they gave up only two runs to the home side in the third. Exeter's runs' came as Brian McGinnis reached first on an error and Steve DuBarry slammed out a double and David Schwindt added a single. Schwindt's homer over the centre field fence featured the win over Dashwood and he also contributed a single. DuBarry had a triple and single, while adding singles were Jason Heywood, Ryan Lindenfield and Mark Russell. Schwindt also recorded the win on the mound.

Led by Ted Guthrie, Bill Darling, Bill Blsuchard, the Criers experienced nature will probably put their team Into higher contention as the season progresses. The Lions Club are also off to a very slow start. With only three wins to their credit, The Lions have establish- ed a lack -lustre offense but a strong defence especially in the infield. Paul Hodgins, Jim and Tom Hearn and John Macdonald lead the way for the. Lions. The Grand Central bring up the rear of the pack. Led by Aaron Ap- pleman, Brian Dick and Dennis Hackney, the Hotel squad have had a lack of consistent defence and offence but can on any given night play with the best of teams.

Exeter resident John Campbell was the third contestant to face Ben and appeared to be holding his own when the animal broke- free from the handler and escaped from the ring, leaving Campbell the winner by default. Angelo Mosca, the former Hamilton Tiger Cat footballer, was among the no-shows as he has been at many of the performances. His son Angelo Jr. took his place.
