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.

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 Precision Team 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.
