Marshall and Marion Dearing won a bronze metal in carpet bowling at the Ontario Senior
Games held recently in Richmond Hill.
Couple wins bronze at
Ontario Senior Games
EXETER - After placing second
at the Exeter Senior Games and
winning gold at the Tri -County
Games held at Grand Cove Estates,
Marshall and Marion Dearing were
pleased with their bronze metal in
carpet bowling at the Ontario Sen-
ior Games.
The provincial games, called Ac-
tifest '96, were held August 26 to
28 in Richmond Hill.
More than 1,600 sen-
iors, 55 -years and old-
er, participated in this
year's games that orig-
inated in Kitchener in
1986. The goal of
Actifest is to create en-
thusiasm for seniors'
participation through
three days of friendly
competition.
"It's not too serious," said Mar-
ion. "It's a fun affair and a chance
to meet lots of people."
Ontario Senior Games events in-
clude carpet bowling, contract
bridge, cribbage, darts, euchre, 5 -
pin bowling, 10 -pin bowling, horse-
shoes, lawn bowling, shuffleboard,
tennis and walking as well as mens
and ladies golf, snooker and swim-
ming.
The Dearings have been involved
with carpet bowling since it was
started in Exeter five years ago by
Town and Country Homemakers.
Carpet bowlers practice their sport
at the Lions Centre
but hope to have a
centre designed es-
pecially for local sen-
iors.
The couple also
participate in lawn
bowling and Mar-
shall is involved in
curling as well. They
say although com-
petition is keen, the real goal of the.,
senior games is to demonstrate the
abilities of seniors in the province.
"It's a fun
affair and a
chance to
meet lots of
people."
Carpet bowling takes more skill
and finesse," said Marion who ex-
plained the indoor version is

limping the bet gime. As the Labor Day long weekend
draws to a close so does local baseball action. Umpire
Don Beauchamp from Zurich, barks out a call during a
Bantam Ontario Baseball Association Championship
Consolation toumament held In Exeter last weekend.
Beauchamp said he umpires more than 50 ball games
over a season and is currently working towards achieving
his level four umpire's certificate which would allow him
to ump at the national level.

played in a more precise area.
Both agreed that the Exeter Sen-
ior Games, the Tri -County games
and travelling to the provincials
could not have been accomplished
without the dedication of organiz-
ers June and Ray Hodgson.
"June took so much of the work
away from us. She was tre-
mendous," said Lynne Farquhar of
the South Huron Recreation Centre.
Other area seniors who went on
to the provincials include: Doreen
Oesch and Della Gascho of Zurich
in crokinole, Ken Gascho and Ina
Neeb of Zurich in crokinole, Mary
Fickling, Bob Fickling, Kay Elder,
Elaine Weido and Louis Masse of
Zurich in 5 -pin bowling, Irene
Beck of Lucan in golf, Hal Snoddy
of Exeter in golf and snooker, Edna
IDeitz and Lorne Archie of, Hensalll
in shuffleboard, Audrey Mac-
Gregor and Mike Underhill of Ex-
eter in swimming, Jean Sheppard,
Jean Nisbet and Bert Steinhuis of
Grand Cove in 10 -pin bowling and
Earl Horner of Zurich in walking.

Canpowerskate program
new to Exeter area
EXETER - The Canpowerskate Program, new the Exeter area, is geared
to helping skaters develop better balance, power, agility, speed and en-
durance through conditioning and power skating drills."
This is something that has been missing from Exeter's skating program,"
said organizer Julianne Varley, who stresses the program is not designed
to take away from existing programs but rather to enhance them.
Skaters will learn and improve fundamentals including balance on flats
and edges, stopping, cross -overs and turns as well as fast forward and
backward starts.
Canpowerskate is the only nationally regulated powerskating program in
Canada developed through the Canadian Figure Skating Association. It is
not a learn -to -skate program and enrolled skaters should have basic for-
ward and backward skating skills as well the ability to stop.
The program will' provide an opportunity for skaters to develop power
skating skills throughout a 10 to 12 -week program. Participants should
wear full hockey or ringette equipment.
The program is divided into three progressive levels and participants are
grouped according to age, ability and body size. The rigorous 45 minute
classes will include stationary and slow moving warm-up, a skill review,
new skill instruction and practice, conditioning and power skating drills
and a cool -down.
Badges will be awarded based on achievement and each of the three lev-
els will test a combination of skill and speed.
Registration will be held on September 11 from 7 to 9 p.m. and Sep-
tember 14 from 10 to 12 p.m. Kathy Merner will instruct the classes to be
held Mondays and Thursdays from 4 to 4 :45 p.m. For more information,
contact Julianne Varley at 235-0243 or 235-0800.
