Clinton service clubs are honored at raceway track
BY'WRY RAINEY
The Clinton K-40 and K-ettes Clubs were
honoured Sunday at Clinton Raceway as the
track saluted them for the very large part they
have played in racing in Clinton.
All over the age of 40, these men and
women were Kinsmen and Kinettes during
the 1970s, when the dubs established racing
in Clinton; and in 1977 when they saved the
young industry from certain death by taking
on the formidable task of raising nearly
$300,000 in less than three months, to build a
new grandstand when the old one ,was
condemned.
K-40 president Ron Jewitt presented the
K-40-K-ettes cooler to Don Beatson and Jim
McCarthy of Granton, after their filly won the
pace in 2:02 three-fifths, in a surprise rush
from the top of the, stretch with Steve
Bossance at the helm.
In the day's secondary feature, trainer -
driver Randy McLean was never seriously
threatened as he brought G.G. limbo home
in 2:02 four-fifths to win the final round of the
Clinton-Goderich Pacing Series for owner
Lionel Arbour of Goderich. It was the
3 -year-old Super Wave colt's sixth win in
seven starts, including both previous legs of
the annual pacing stake for $3,050. This colt
will definitely bear watching in the future.
Once again, Seaforth homes dominated the
card, as Johnny Muir drove old reliable Out
All Knight to a 2:07 one-fifth victory in the
10th, her fastest time of the season. The aged
mare is owned by Brian Glanville of
Egmondville and trained by Bruce Lamont.
Muir also piloted the stud Sweet Noble to a
hard-won victory in the ninth for owner
Laverne Robson of Dublin.
In the second race, Seaforth homes pressed
hard for winning money coming off the top
turn four wide only to see trainer -driver
Dennis Morrissey of London inch his own
pacer J.C. Pearl to top spot. Seaforth steeds
K.M. Bertola (Muir), Greyfriar's Faye (Dale
Kennedy) and Merrywood Liz (Ross Battin)
came in second, third and fourth respective-
ly.
Both of Rene Dupuis's horses, Ray McLean
up, appeared, headed for the winner's circle
in their races, but both had to settle for
second when Armbro Bryan got parked wide
in the fifth, and the sixth went a shade 'too
wide for the colt Star Buck Lee, who pressed
the winner, W ilco's Centrefold, hard from
wire to wire.
For old-fashioned harness racing at it's
very best, be sure to catch the Trainer's
Working 'in the dark' is not easy
It has been a bit of a blessing in the last
week (since I got back from holidays) to have
someone on staff who is experienced in the
art of film development and ,photo process-
ing. For the first time in five n' onths it meant I
was able to trade off duties in what can be the
sometimes nauseating environment of the
darkroom, what with the chemicals and all.
It is somehow placating or should I say
gratifying to know someone besides yourself
is locked in that 10 foot by three foot space, in
total darkness, with nothing for company but
some jugs of D76, fixer and photo -flow, a
million or so negatives and some somewhat
• tempermental pieces of photo equipment —
and doomed to remain there. until every last
photo needed for the paper is completed and
to perfection, or until they pass out,
whichever comes first.
Now granted some days are better than
others, but then again some days are
considerably worse:
At the time I'm writing this column my
cohort Pat has the pleasure of being in the
grips of the darkroom, and as the minutes
progress his cries of anguish seem to indicate
his mood is taking on the characteristics of
the room he's in •• dark.
I suppose I should take some of the blame
for the trouble he's experiencing in the dark
room. The entire week has been a disaster for
me as far as photo taking has gone. With the
memories of my holiday still lingering in my
mind I was rather slow getting back in a
working frame of mind. The result was a

couple rolls of film shot badly. You see I
forgot to change the setting on my camera to
correspond to the environment I was taking
the photographs in. And the result of that was
quite a number of badly overexposed
negatives. .
But one of the miracles of black and white
film is the mistakes can often be corrected in
the darkroom. The only problem is of course
the mistake -fixing is often time consuming.
and very frustrating. And while the results
aren't always as good as we'd like them they
work.
Now for Pat today my poor excuses for
films are only one of a number of problems
he's experiencing in the darkroom. And while
I sympathize with him I also have to chuckle
when everything he touches seems to
malfunction. No doubt when I take my turn in
the dark I'll go through the same horror story.
Until then I guess I can only offer this
explanation, that whatever strange and
wonderful phenomena is taking place in the
darkroom it has only to be Pat's initiation into
the working aura of The Huron Expositor.
Other than that I guess the only thing I can do
is keep the smirk off my face - at least until'
Pat can't see it.

September 20. The action is organized by
Rene Dupuis, and is always one of the
highlights of the two-day fair. Watch this
space next week for more details.
Clinton's Hoot Gibbings drove his own
mare Harlo Candy to a photo -finish win in
2:07 two-fifths, a new personal best as Candy
won her second of the season in Clinton.
Randy Henry reined W indspun to a close
second place for owner -trainer August
Degroof of Clinton, who recently claimed the
7 -year-old bay mare from Alice Colquhoun of
London; and a new filly from the Paul Taylor
stable came in third to Wilco's Centrefold's
2:05 one-fifth win. She is owned by Don
Carter and driven by Gerry Sloan.
ne guuu uvwats-expected this Sunday, for
Clinton's final day of racing this season. The
