Director A final tribute should be men- tioned for the Brophy Slow Pitch baseball team that Just won the Grand Championship tourna- ment against Sebringville: Congratulations and keep up the good work next year. T,ilere is still some open space available for anybody interested in Adult Fitness Skating. Join in and bring your friends — every Monday - Friday, 9:30 to 10:38 a.m. "Where fun and fitness go hand in hand." This is a reminder for all par- ents with children who like to skate. Season tickets are now on sale. The trice is $10 per person or $25 per family. Regular daily skating prices are 50 cents per child or 72 cents per adult. There is regular public skating every Saturday, 2-4 p.m., Sun- day, 1-3 p.m., and every statutory holiday, 2-4 p.m. Boys floor hockey is well under way this year. There are three teams: Adidas, team 1; Lincolns, team 2; and Firebirds, team 3. Games and times for Monday, Nov. 7, are 1 vs 2, 6:30 p.m., 1 vs 3, 7:15 p.m. Any boys interested in joining floor hockey? Come on out on Monday nights at 6:30. p.m., at F. E. Madill Secondary School. Residents outside the town of Wingham, who do not pay municipal taxes, are required to pay a surcharge to help defray the operating costs of the Recrea- tion Department. The operating costs for the ball park during the summer of '77 were $5,651, while the total in- come was $945; therefore, the ball park cost the town $4,636 to operate. The operating costs for the swimming pool during the sum- mer of '77 were $15,884, while the total income was $2,684; there- fore, the pool operated at a deficit 5 of $13,200. Next year, '78, is supposed to be a year of restraint, which means budget cutbacks. With expenses increasing and maintenance costs skyrocketing, a nominal in- crease can definitely be expected for all swimming programs. Lancers down Royals in a penalty -filled opener The Lucknow Lancers defeated the Wingham Royals 10-6 in the penalty -marred season opener at the Wingham Arena last Friday night. The Royals' Bob Armstrong opened the scoring with a power play goal at the 3:27 mark of the first period, but Lucknow's Lynn Armstrong tied the game 30 seconds later with his first of three goals. Dennis Thompson gave the Lancers the lead midway through the period, but Steve Caslick got that one back on a pass from Larry .Robinson. Thompson socred his second goal of the period at 17:29 and, eight seconds later, John Hamiton scored to give Lucknow a 4-2 lead at the end of the opening period. In the second period, Lucknow increased its lead to 8-2 on a pair of goals by Armstrong and singles by Mike Henderson and Greg Hamilton.,Bill *own. _got one back, with assists going to linemates Al Dickson and Russel Jones. Andy Whitby rounded out the Lucknow scoring with a pair of quick goals on hard shots from just inside the blue line. Bill Brown scored his second goal of the game and Bob Hillis. added one bafore the . end of the period. Score at the end of the second: Lucknow 10, Wingham 5. Wingham's Larry Robinson scored the only goal of the final period from Hillis and Paul McKee and the game ended with the score: Lucknow Lancers 10 and Wingham Royals 6. FROM THE STANDS ... The large crowd on hand at the Wing - ham Arena was treated to some hard hitting and at times ex- tremely rough hockey with Luck - now taking 72 of 104 minutes in penalties. Although the Royals did score five of their six goals while Lucknow was shorthanded, their power play was very inef- fective in the third period when Lucknow played nearly the entire period with one or two men in the penalty box .. . No doubt that Lucknow's fine right winger, Andy Whitby, was the star of the game. His shots left Wingham goaltenders and fans shaking their heads .: . Certainly many of the Lucknow players are no strangers to Wing - ham hockey fans as the three Hamiltons — Graham, Greg, and John — Mark Chisholm, Carl Stanley and Ian Montgomery all spept time with the Wingham Ironmen.. . Injuries were a key factor in the Royal downfall, as their very fine defenseman, Gary Lisle, suf- fered a knee injury early in the game and, Tom Black, a tough checking forward, also missed part of the game due to a leg in- jury.. The three stars for the Royals in this contest were Bill Brown, Bob Hillis and Steve t;ashck Don't forget, Friday night is Royal night in Wingham and if this game was any indication, Wingham fans are in for an excit- ing year of Intermediate hockey. Ironmen clip Eagles' wings The Wingham Ironmen, led by a great effort by Jim McGee in his first game of the year with the team, crushed the Arthur Eagles 7-4 in Grand Valley on Saturday night. McGee had two goals and set up the third when he put Cam Cook into the clear and Cam made no mistake. Arthur started fast and led 3-1 after the first period but Wing - ham regrouped and scored four goals in the second frame to take a 5-3 lead and they never looked back. Jay MacLaurin also had a strong game scoring twice. Other goals were scored by Randy Al- ton and Tom Graham. • WHISTLE STOP The Ironmen are playing with extra team spirit this year and their theme seems to be unity. Coach Skirin's remarks on Satur- day night sum it up, "We have no back stabbing like we had last year in the dressing room." The Ironmen then gave the home fans something to shout about on Sunday night as they downed the Arthur Eagles to a score of 10 to 2. It was an overall good effort by the local boys with scoring coming from all three lines. Randy Alton and Jim Black- well were the big shooters with two goals each. It was without a doubt the biggest defensive game so far this year with tall Hughie Nichol between the pipes and the defence units of Bernie Haines, Ron Riley, Paul Gowing, Mick Montgomery and Laurie Haines playing hard-hitting excellent hockey inside the blue line. Next Sunday night the Ironmen play for real as they go up against the Fergus Green Machine in the first scheduled game of the sea- son. Fergus is reported to be the team to beat in the league this year. So get ready, Ironmen fans, 7:30 p.m.November 6, 1977, should be a great one.

Mechanized e up ment q opposed by landowners By Jeff Seddon A recreational survey done re- cently in Huron County showed that many landowners in the county don't object to people using their land for recreation provided they ask. The survey, completed ;, by the Ministry of Natural Resources, showed that most landowners object to people using their land without asking and that many are opposed to mechanized recreational ve- hicles being used on their land. Roy Bellinger, a conservation. officer with .Natural Resources, told Huron County Council Fri- day .•� 234 landowners were -stifveyedHuron and Perth Counties and ownships in Bruce and Middlesex Counties. He said the survey had a 60 per cent re- turn from the owners and gave the ministry a good idea about people's concerns of public use of their land, Bellinger said the greatest ob- jection was mechanized recrea- tional vehicles. He said owners seemed to be concerned about damages resulting from the use of dune buggies, snowmobiles, motorcycles and other such ve- hicles. He said there was also a great deal of comment about dis- courteous treatment from opera- tors of the vehicles. He added that almost .38 per cent of the re- plies frowned on •the mechanized recreation. The survey was done on a ran- dom basis. Bellinger said the ministry personnel took the assessment roll for the area and picked every seventh landowner Tom Rawn holds high dart score Steve's Studs and Dan's De- mons of the Wingham Branch 180 Dart League played to perfection getting three points each and now lead the league with 10 and nine points respectively. Tom Rawn has thrown the highest score this year, his three darts totalling 154. Brian Hogg held the door prize of $10 which was evenly split with his team. Leslie's Pride is alone in third place with eight points followed by Andy's Amateurs, Brian's Bullseyes and Brian's Buzzards each with six points. Gord's Go - Getters are next with five points and Barry's Bad Boys with four. Elmer's Esquires and Lorne's Go -Fors are in the cellar of the league with three points each. Brownie Corner The Brownies held a Hal- lowe'en party with decorations, • music, games, songs and food. Mrs. J. Shaw baked a Hallowe'en cake and Mrs. Mae Ritchie made a "witches brew". The dlub would like to thank Mrs. B. Cameron, Mrs. R. Bray and Mrs. L. Hodgens for baking cookies for the party. Mrs. W. Richards taught the Brownies some songs and told them a Brownie story. Constable Creeden showed a film on bicycle safety: A Remembrance Day parade will be held on Nov. 11 it was reported. and mailed a questionnaire. He said the questionnaire covered every aspect of public recreation and asked that the owner answer questions only if his land was suitable for that type of recrea- tion. He explained that there would be no purpose in a person commenting on fishing if his land had no fishing area on it. The purpose of the survey was to see if the province could offer landowners any protection against people abusing pri- vileges. He said the province realizes there are problems from its experience with provincial parks: He said there seems to be more of a trend toward recrea- tional activities in rural areas and that there is more damage to private property as a result. Euchre games held in church Annette Keet and Jim Leddy were high lady and high man at the weekly euchre games held in the Sacred Heart Church Hall, Oct. 25. Nine tables were in play and the door prize went to Mrs. Dave Murray. Anita Mahe and Emery Mahe were lbw lady and low man of the evening.
