FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS
By Ross Haugh
RA P
is busy
This is the time of the year when themes for
sports columns are a little bit hard to come by. The
hockey season except for the national scene is almost
completed and the local summer sport programs are not
quite underway,
During this interval we would like to talk about
an organization in town that does a lot of work but
never gets too much publicity or credit for what they
do.
We're speaking of RAP, the town committee that
handles all activities pertaining to recreation, arena and
parks. Although this group meets only once a month
officially, each member in his or her own time spends a
lot of hours in supervising all aspects of sports and
recreation.
Most visitors to Exeter are enthusiastic about the
beautiful appearance of Riverview Park and this is one
of the many responsibilities of RAP,
Not a meeting goes by that members don't
attempt to come up with new ideas to not only
maintain the beauty of the park but increase it for the
benefit of visitors that drop in or the many local and
district families that use the facilities for picnics and
reunions.
During the summer many tourists stop by with
cameras to snap pictures of the beautiful flowers that
have become a byword with the park and many brides
choose the park as the setting for their wedding photos.
With the picnic season still several months away,
several bookings have already been received for this
season, At Monday's meeting of RAP recreation director
Alvin Willert was authorized to go ahead with the
painting and repairing of picnic tables and other
facilities at the park in readiness for the coming season.
The necessary flowers to be planted were ordered
more than a month ago and Mrs. Lee Dobbs of the
committee who is an enthusiastic supporter of the park
and a close-by resident was given the go-ahead to order
trees up to an amount of $60.
Most of the work at the park is taken care of by
Willert, his assistant Gary Middleton and John Roelofs,
now a full-time employee at the arena and parks. The
latter, a gardener by trade takes a personal pride in
looking after the flowers and trees.
Also at the park, the local swimming pool is
getting lots of action during the summer months. In
addition to providing youngsters from town and the
immediate area with the opportunity to learn to swim
properly other groups from the district will be accepted.
The last couple of years, Hensall youngsers have
been coming to the Exeter pool by bus. RAP has
decided to extend an invitation to boys and girls in
Dashwood and Zurich and any other village or
municipality that may be interested to make use of the
local facilities.
At Monday's meeting Willert reported receiving
four applications for swimming instructors and the
positions have not been advertised as yet. Ads for swim
instructors and playground supervisors can be seen on
the adjoining sport pages.
A leadership training camp for playground
supervisors will be held again this year from June 22 to
27. The camp is under the joint direction of Conestoga
College and district recreation directors.
In addition to the basic sports of baseball,
bowling and hockey, the local committee operates a
square dance program and is available to assist the
Senior Citizens in any of their endeavours.
Other possible sports that have been mentioned
are lacrosse, badminton and archery and instruction in
gun safety.
An increasingly busy spot in town is at the local
fair grounds and park adjacent to the arena where rodeo
and horse club facilities have been set up.
Originally started as a two-day rodeo project for
the Labour Day weekend, the rodeo ring and track will
be in use most of the summer. In addition' to. the rodeo,
the annual quarter horse show will be staged along with
monthly outings of the Exeter Saddle club.
The newest group to make use of the set-up is the
Exeter Pony club. This enthusiastic group has been
given the green light to establish a quarter-mile pony
race track inside the present half-mile oval.
The new track will be laid out to conform with
American and Canadian Trotting Association
regulations. Work is expected to begin on the track very
shortly. Approval has been given following a joint
meeting with officials of RAP, the rodeo committee,
pony club and the Exeter Agricultural Society.
Last and far from least on the list of RAP
responsibilities is the operation of the arena. The ice was
let out on Saturday following Friday's defeat of the
Exeter bantams in Keswick.
To show how busy the arena was this winter we
need only look at the gross receipts of the snack bar. A
total of $7,827.99 was taken in at the concession
booth. That's a lot of pop and hot dogs.
The final report of the arena for the just
concluded season shows an average ice time of 7.1 hours
per day.
In closing we would be remiss in failing to
mention the fine minor bowling program being directed
by Ruth Durand, a member of RAP. Under Mrs.
Durand's capable direction, local bowlers brought home
six of thirteen trophies at a Lake Huron Zone
tournament held at Kincardine, Saturday,

hi ti c a rdine, Monday was
accomplished with a five goal
outburst in the third period
without a reply from the home
duh.

terms throughout the first two
periods. The Bulldogs were first
to hit the scoreboard on goals by
Doug Johnston and Jim Bell in a
two minute span well past the
midway mark of the initial
stanza.
Crediton's captain Dennis
Morrissey wasted little time in
evening the score by triggering
two goals before the period
ended. Ken Fraser assisted on
the first Crediton scoring play
and the second was unassisted.

goal scoring splurge in the last
Period.
The Zurich club will be
strengthened for the final series
by the addition of four members
of the Blyth intermediates,
Lorne Daer of Blyth has been in
the Zurich goal for the last two
games after injuries forced Gary
Geoffrey and Paul Steckle to the
sidelines.
To add to the interest of the
final clash between the two
district clubs is the fact, Earl
"Cuss" Wagner has been
coaching the Crediton club and
has also been playing for Zurich.
Wagner will be out on the ice in
an active role with the Flyers.
Late in the game, Bill
Chipchase and Overholt found

the twelve penalties assessed by
referees Frank Slota and Ed
Malcheski of Kitchener.
COME CLOSE
In the sixth game at
Centralia, Wednesday, won by

waited too long before starting a
scoring spree in the third period.

minutes to go, they scored three
times with two goals coming in
the last minute of play,
The Tigers took a quick two
goal lead in the early moments
of the first period on goals by
Terry Bourne and Dennis
Morrissey.
Jim Bell scored twice and
Ron Farrell scored a single to
put the Bulldogs ahead 3-2 at
the end of the first, a lead they
never relinquished.
Bell, who was the Kincardine
scoring star with four goals for
the night scored two more in the
second and Keith Davidson
added one while Bourne was the
only Crediton goal getter.
Early in the third, Leon
Wilson upped the Kincardine
lead to 7-3. Terry Bourne
notched his third goal of the
night on an unassisted effort at
14:40 and in the dying
moments, Dennis Morriseey and
Craig Chapman each scored once
to finalize the game scoring and
leave the Tigers one goal short.
Near the four minute mark,
Coghlin scored his third goal of
the night and the last one for his
Kurtzville club. In the last half
of the period Jim Pfaff, Earl
Wagner and Suplat added
insurance markers for the Flyers.
EXCITING FINISH
The second game of the series
taken by the Flyers 8-6 in
overtime was exciting from start
to finish. With the score tied at
5-5, Bob Coghlin scored for
Kurtzville at 19:46 only to have
Jim Pfaff rap in the tying goal
for Zurich with only two
seconds left on the clock.
