While town employees and board and committee members will still be recognized at this year's ban- quet, the main change will be how the town honours athletes who ex- cel on a provincial or national lev- el. In the past, the town has present- ed awards to entire teams at the an- nual banquet, and did in fact get into hot water when the Ontario championship -winning Mohawks were missed from the honour roll at 1989's banquet and were brought to the 1990 banquet in compensation. However, council approved a plan to eliminate teams from the banquet and to only invite individu- al athletes from Exeter who excel. Teams would be presented with plaques from the town at other oc- COMPARE QUALITY!! cacions. .,haw said the problem arose when honouring "Exeter" teams which may only have a few players actually from the town. While he did not specify the Mohawks, he said he knew of a team which had only three town -residents as players. Councillor Dave Uriin said be agreed with Shaw's general propo- sal, but argued many minor teams have a few players from Usborne Township, Huron Park, or other nearby municipalities who consider themselves Exeter players and de- serve recognition. "I don't think we want to white- wash them all." said Urlin. Shaw agreed with Urlin and pointed out that was why whole teams should no longer be invited to the appreciation banquet. Appreciation Night, which will be held November 14 this year, will still include recognition for other Exeter citizens who have made COMPARE PRICE!! achievements at the provincial and national level, as well as the Citi- zen of the Year Award. While there was no nominee for the town's top award last year, councilor Harry Klungel ques- tioned whether the award was need- ed, or even desirable. Klungel said he thought the Citizen of the Year ',ward was too specific and singled out overachievers above others with lesser abilities who tried as hard. Councillor Dorothy Chapman disagreed with Klungel and said the town could probably be blamed for not doing enough to give credit to its volunteers and other worthy res- idents.
