a few good players.
"Everybody can play it (slo-
pitch). No matter how good you are
or how bad you arc, you can still
play it."
Organizers of of the Men's Rec
League have decided to solicit a re-
sponse to a recreational slo-pitch
league which they hope will take -
up some of the slack from the now
defunct fastball league. The teams
which responded to the fastball-
meeting last week expressed interest
in joining a slo-pitch league.
If the new league comes into be-
ing, a new executive body will he
formed.
The Men's Rec League has an op-
erating debt of S201 from a .
$14,000 budget in the 1986-87 sea-
son. Of that, Urlin explained -that
$1,344 went toward umpire- fees.
$500 went toward equipment and
thc rest of the budget went to insu-
rance costs and diamond rentals.
Steve Knight, representing Hen-
sall Legionnaires at last week's
meeting,_ informed the group that
three Clinton teams and four Zurich
teams along with an undetermined
•number of clubs from Seaforth plan
to amalgamate to keep a recreation-
al fastball Ieaguc•alive in the area,
but it was noted that local players
might be unwilling to travel the
distances required to play in the or-
ganization.
Mike Soudan was critical of the
cost of the services provided by the
South Huron Rec Centre.
Soldan added that umpire costs
have become a factor in Rec Fast -
ball -- a cost that will be eliminated
in a slo-pitch league.
CLOSE CHECKING - Jim Bishop of the Optimists is held in check by
Bryden Gryseels during a recent Exeter Optimists and Junior Betles-
Tweens ringette game. .
An open letter
On the completion of a very
successful skating year, we the
Exeter Junior Precision Skating
Team would like to thank our
coach Susan Rodowa.
Your quiet humanistic manner
of coaching gave us time to set
and reach our goals as individu-
als and as a team. This required
trust and patience on your part
but the results for us were very
genuine, realistic, and perma-
nent. As a team we learned
many things this year and, as a
coach you have been a promi-
nent person to us in this learn-'
ing. As a coach you taught us a
great deal in precision skating.
We grew from a team that was
barely competitive to one that
placed third and reached the A fi-
nals in a vcry.compctitivc com-
petition in Niagara Falls.
We felt good about our perfor-
mances and arc proud that we
had worked to our best potential
to represent our town and our
club.. We feel that what makes
us real winners is the great im-
provement that we have shown
as a team over the years and es-
pecially this year. You believed
in us and made us believe in
ourselves. Thank you, Susan!
As a coach you gave us space
and time to recognize each oth-
ers strengths and weaknesses.
We used these qualities in posi-
tive ways and became a team
that certainly cared about each
and every member and had a lot
of fun together. Thank you Su-
san!
You gave is the responsibility
of making decisions on our own
and of acquiring some self-
discipline both on and off the
ice, at our practices and at our
competitions. We feel proud and
capable of our decisions. This re-
quired gust on your part: Thank
you, Susan!
Your expectations and values
wcrc always high. You believed
that we could' compete in even
the best competitions. This made
us strive for that goal, taught us
our limitations and also taught
us to believe in ourselves and
our abilities. .
You always cared about us and
believed in us even when it
would have been much easier to
'say forget the whole thing.
Thank you, Susan!
Susan, as adolescents and as
skaters we will continue to grow
but we will always appreciate the
skills, the support, the freedom,
and the guidance that you offered
us during this very important
year together. You helped us be
the winners we arc. We wish to
give you the most valuable gift
of all - our love and our respect.
Thanks again,
The, Exeter Junior

Bell Atoms finish season
well established in tourneys
Exeter Bell Atoms Icft their mark
on the season during the March
Break when they participated US two
tournaments and placed very well.
The boys made it to thc A final
of the Parkhill tourney, where they
wcrc forced to settle for the runners-
up title after losing to a tough
Dresden team 5-1.
Later in the ‘veek they made their
way 10 the B final in St. Marys
where they wcrc shut out 2-0 by
Norwich.
Bell Atoms got their feet wet in
the Parkhill tournament when they
•defeated Ilderton 3-2..
Exeter took a 2-1 lead in the first
period on a pair of goals by Willie
Partridge. Mtsuthew I layter kept I1-
dcrton close with a goal in thc first.
Brent Urlin put some distance I e-
tween the two teams in the second
with an unassisted goal which
turned out to be the winner. .
Ilderton stuck close with a goal
from Jett Rau but Exeter hung on
fd'r the win.
Craig Schwartzentruber picked up
two assists in the effort.
1301 Atoms continued their march
toward the final whet' they handed
Walkerton a 3-2 loss in their second
game of the tourney.
Walkerton jumped jumped into a 2-0 lead
in the first period, but an unassisted
goal by Steve Cook kept Exeter's
head above water in the second.
Urlin added a pair of goals in the
third to give Bell Atoms the win.
Urlin and Schwartzentrubcr drew
assists in the game. -
In the A championship final, B611
Atoms fell behind Dresden 2-0 in
the first.
Exeter's only goal -of the game
came just 36 seconds into the sec-
ond when Ben Guenther found the
mark but Dresden added two in the
second and one more in the third for
the win.
St. Marys tournament
Bell Atoms started the St. Marys
tournament the way they finished it
-- with 2-0 losses.
St. Marys scored in the first and
third periods while goalie Owen
Slatter shut out the Exctcr squad for
the win.
That loss put Bell Atoms into
the 13 division of the tourney
against Thamesford who. proved to
be easy prey.
Goals from Urlin, Steve Cook
and Partridge gave Exeter a 3-1 lead
in the first period.
Guenther added two goals in the
second while Schwar_tzentruber
notched a single.
Assists in thc game went to
Cook with two, Gucnthcr, Kevin
Ross, Partridge, Urlin and Jcff De-
Blockc.
Their 6-1 win over Thamesford
gave them a birth in the 13 final,
but one Norwich goal in the first
and another in the second stopped
short their drive and Bell Atoms
came home with the 13 runners-up
title.

Cruel
Joke
It seems more than unfair that
the likes of the Toronto Maple
Leafs have got a shot at the
Stanley Cup (pure fantasy at
best) while Pittsburgh Penguins.
and New York Rangers arc ar-
ranging golf memberships for
the off season. .
But it's true.
Dave Shaw, defenceman with
New York, has missed the
playoffs for another season._
This is the first season since
1977 that Rangers have missed
post -season play in the NHL.
Maureen Masse and Shannon West-
lake ran the distance in 9.4 seconds.
In the 700 m race, Jeff Den Ott: r
crossed the finish line in 55.9 sec-
onds to claim first place in his
heat.
Michelle Chalmers ran the dis-
tance in 69 seconds while Shannon
Westlake and Maureen Masse fin-
ished in 80 seconds.
