SECOND SECTIQN
Goderich Squash Club formed
BY KRIS SVELA
The sport of squash is becoming in-
creasingly popular through Ontario and
now Goderich is on the, verge of having its
own squash club, complete with a portable
court and playing facility.
Don Longwell, president off the newly
formed Goderich Squash Club, is clearly
pleased with the new club which he feels
will be of benefit to interested residents.
The group has received approval from
the Goderich Recreation Board to set up a
portable, fold up court in the Mini Com-
munity Centre, rent free for the first year.
The projected cost of installation and
operation is estimated at $20,000 with
approximately $7,500 coming from Win-
tario.
According to Longwell the court will
be operational in September. He hopes to
bring down the cost to the 20 individual
members who have put up the money for
the course by getting more people actively
involved as members of the new club.
Longwell is confident that enough people ..
will take up membership to offset the large
cost burden taken on by the 20 founding
members. In a release, the club is hoping
to attract at least 40 "founding members"
which reduce the cost to •each individual
substantially. ' -
Founding members would receive a
three year free membership, • for their
financial .commitments, which would
cover a one year free membership. for
their children and spouses. There are also
individual memberships available at a
cost of $175 a year. A $3 user fee is also be-
ing considered. • •
However, the cost of membership is
offset by the relatively inexpensive,
equipment needed to participate :in
squash. All that a player •needs is a
racquet, a ball and one partner to play a
game of squash.
According to. • Longwell, squash is
recommended as part of an individual's
fitness program and offers sufficient
exercise of the 'cardio -vascular system to
make it well worthwhile. He explained that
one 40 minute session of squash provides
superb physical exercise as well as peing a
thoroughly enjoyable. . •
Recently released figures show that
dedicated squash players can reduce the.
risk of heart attack by approximately 40

The Goderich Squash Club will have its new fold .up court com-
pleted by September in the Goderich community centre. Club of-
ficials hope that squash will become a popular sport among town
per cent.
The new court will also give residents a
local facility to play at. This should ef-
fectively. cut down the travelling time and
expense that avid squash players had to
pay to play at courts out of town.
residents. At the piesent time club members Don Longwell (left)
and Jim Hollingworth sharpen their skills on a makeshift court in
the GDCI auditorium..
When the new club is set up in Sep
. tember it should prove to be a very popular
sport in the town of Goderich and is un-
doubtedly a welcome addition to the
growing variety of recreational activities
Goderich has to offer.

BY KRIS SVELA

Recreation Centre met with the Goderich
Recreation Boardin an attempt to raise
money, to help the centre pay its projected
operation cost deficit of approximately
$40,000 for 1982. .0
Jack McLauchlan, treasurer for
Tuckersmith Township, told the board that
approximately six per cent of the
registered users of, the Vanastra centre
were from Goderich and that because of
this the Recreation Board should help
offset the deficit through a cost sharing
arrangement.
According to McLauchlan, centre
representatives ' have received fair
response" from other municipalities they
have approached, and have received firm
commitments trum two of the
municipalities.
He explained that the reason for the
deficit is spiralling utility. cdkts which this
year is expected to cost approximately
$35,800 with the pool taking the largest part
of the projected costs.
The representatives told the Goderich
Recreation Board that they are looking for
alternative fuels to help offset the rising.,
costs of heating the Vanastra Centre.
t Board members questioned the
representatives on the response they had
received from other communities such as
Minton, Seaforth and Exeter.
McLauchlin told the board that they
were working on an arrangement with
Clinton which will have to take into con-
. sideration the use of the arena by Vanastra
residents. In Exeter the centre
