Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Exeter Heritage Foundation in their recent presentation during a Town Council meeting, honoring my late father, Doug Gould. My Dad faced and overcame many challenges throughout his life. One of the more challenging was the saving and restoration of "The Olde Town Hall". Anyone who knew my Dad, knew how hard he and his committee fought - a battle he would fight until the end. Your dedication of the clock and plaque is a won- derful tribute. I know my Dad would be honored, as we are. A special "Thank You" also goes out to Bill Mickle and Bob Heywood for their many kind words. To the Exeter Heritage members who continue to carry on, "Thank You" for making my Dad's dream become reality! Your endless efforts, hard work and perseverance have turned an old building into a beautiful site and a piece of heritage we should all be proud of. Sincerely, Anne Gould -Sullivan and family Exeter Minor Hockey has no connection with ad company By Craig Bradford T -A Reporter EXETER - A Cambridge advertising company has no connection with Exeter Minor Hockey according to its president John Rasenberg. Rasenberg told the T -A last week he has received several inquiries from Exeter businesses who've told him A&K Advertising was soliciting sponsors for schedules of games to be played by Exeter teams. "We have never authorized this and we have no knowl- edge of this company," Rasenberg said. A&K's Ron Kelly said he has cancelled all ads from the Exeter businesses and the seven-year-old tabloid publica- tion featuring listings of .all major Ontario hockey tourna- ments will not appear in Exeter. "I have no problem with Exeter not wanting it," Kelly said. A&K solicits different ads from each community it cir- culates in but uses the same information on minor hockey in each edition. "I was solicited by a sales rep who called my business giving the impression there was a connection to our hockey organization," Rasenberg said. Though the sales method can be misleading, the practice is not illegal, Huron County OPP Const. John Marshall said.

Times -Advocate, October 22, 1997 our Views Letter to the tc,litOr Sports unlimited To what ultimate fate are pro sports heading?... Dear Editor; At this time of year, and especially this year, there are many themes that one might choose to write about. There is this beautifully late fall following an obstinately late spring, a Thanksgiving with bless- ings again far surpassing reverses, and a display of autumn glories rarely excelled. It is difficult for a censor to find a whipping boy, but annually in early fall we hit the pot pourri stage in professional sports when every major professional sport is winding down, starting up or in full tilt, all at the same time. It was long the case that each major sport was ac- corded major rights to attention and support in its own season. It was not possible to avoid some over- lapping of closing phases with openings, and some concurrent running of an outdoor sport with an in- door, which was pardonable. Fall belonged to foot- ball, winter to hockey and basketball, and spring and summer to baseball. Right now at writing time, both the,American and the National baseball leagues are in the throes of their final seven -game playoffs, the NHL and the NBA are just beginning their long Exeter carpet bowling October 20 3 game winners Carmon Stuart Don Maguire 2 game winners Sandi Maxwell John Batten John Deweerd Myrtle Maguire Lawrence Russell ' Mike Underhill Ray Smith 35 33 27 26 26 25 22 22 22 Ringette c • • October 19 - Stratford W 8 at Exeter 4 Goals: Lauren Taylor (3), Kelsey Pinder Assists: Jordan Phillips, Kristin Ferguson, Ashley Bedard, Lindsay Blanc.

Luanne F. Phair Returning Officer Municipal Election 1997 Page 23 schedules and the NFL and CFL are in full battle, with casualties on all sides. What does one watch, listen to or take in personally? It almost makes one feel guilty of divided loyalty. I'm a listen -only fan myself, and never get too excited until crucial and final games are on. To what ultimate fate are pro sports heading? The rate at which players are signing multi-million dol- lar contracts and prices of spectator seats are in- creasing makes one wonder how long such an unre- alistic situation can continue. The almost general decrease in attendance at games and the deficit oper- ations of some of the clubs are further signs of the death knell, or at least a widespread deadly plague. It could be that players, staff and owners are pricing themselves right out of business. That is certainly not to be hoped for, but there would seem to be little chance of retrenchment in operational costs. I am at least a luke-warm sports fan, warmer at playoff times, and would hope that some reasonable middle. ground among players, staff, owners and fans will revitalize and prolong professional sports into all our futures. I pick Cleveland to win the '97 World Series. Vive le sport!
