The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1971-02-11, Page 8Page 8 Times-Advocate, February 11, 1971 FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh Space and spice Plans are being quickly formulated for the tenth annual carnival presented by the Exeter Figure Skating club. The more than 130 boys and girls making up the local club are working hard on their various routines that will be included in the carnival slated for the Exeter arena on Saturday, February 27. This year's presentation will be entitled "Space and Spice All on Ice." Included in the characters will be candies, flowers, space men and robots to mention only a few. The first carnival was held in the spring of 1952 making this year's show the twentieth consecutive show held at the local arena. President Barb Dougherty told us this week that the 1971 show should be bigger and better than ever and a bit different in content. The club's new teaching pro, Brad Loosley will be taking part in three acts. He will be skating in a solo number, appearing in a duet and will have another male partner in a very interesting comedy routine. Other members of the local club executive are vice-president loois Brintnell, secretary-treasurer Mary Holtzmann and directors, Dolores Fuller and Jack and Flo Underwood. The club will also be holding their annual dance at the Exeter Legion Hall, Saturday, April 10 with the Blue Tones supplying the music. Obtaining fowl A group of district sportsmen are banding together to provide some additional waterfowl at Morrison Dam. Headed by Alvin Willert, the enthusiastic sportsmen will be purchasing three pair of wild geese in the near future to enhance the beauty of the dam area. Two pair of Canada geese and one pair of blue geese are being purchased from the Desjardine game farm near Grand Bend. These birds are mated and are expected to produce young this spring. The birds that are expected to be acquired are pinioned and will be unable to fly and leave the area. In similar situations, young geese usually fly south in the fall and a good majority return the following spring and sometimes bring along a few visitors. This way it is hoped the bird population would grow appreciably over the next few years. Willert told us this week that the Ausable River Conservation Authority has given their approval to this project. The local recreation director said while several persons had already donated some monies toward the purchase of these geese other donations would be accepted. The cost will be $150 and anyone wishing to make a contribution should contact Willert, Reg MacDonald or Dick Roelofson. This sporting group are also planning to construct feeding and nesting areas to make surroundings attractive for visitors from the air. Lots of room A new seven-team British hockey league has started play this year and one of the teams plays in what we would consider a large arena. The Glasgow Dynamos play their home games on an ice surface that is 240 feet long and 100 feet wide. This would certainly give a player with good stick handling abilities a great edge. The standing joke at this rink is that you can get a hot dog and coffee during the time it takes to make an end-to-end rush. Expos on TV An announcement last week by the Canadian Broadcasting Company should be welcomed by baseball fans in this area. The CBC has completed an exclusive three-year contract for television rights to Montreal Expo baseball games. The popular Expos will be seen in 18 games on the English network with Hal Kelly and Don Drysdale again doing the announcing. H -P tourney here The annual Huron-Perth Conference championship wrestling tournament will be held Friday of this week at South Huron District High School with eight schools participating. In only their third year of league competition the South Huron wrestlers will be attempting to bring their second consecutive championship to the local school. The meet involving teams from Stratford Central, St. Marys, Clinton, Goderich, Seaforth, Wingham, Listowel and South Huron will get underway at eleven o'clock in the morning in the new gym and run right through the day. Admission is free to all events and the general public is more than welcome. Three local wrestlers Gerard Charrette, Bill Cameron and Bill Degroot will be attempting to retain titles won last year. While on high school sports, the South Huron girls teams will be meeting Seaforth in volleyball action Monday afternoon at the local school with the winners moving into the Huron-Perth playoffs. In basketball, the two SHDHS boys teams complete the regular schedule this week. Stratford Central were here yesterday, Wednesday, the locals travel to St. Marys today and host Mitchell Tuesday to wind up the season.
