He added, "I wish to thank my 'entire committee and all volunteers, They did a terrific job." He continued, "before my accident when I went into the home of a crippled child, I would sometimes say to myself Why do these things happen. Now after being flat on my back for three or four months, I understand a little better what it's all about." While Watson dwelt on the serious side of life, Emmett Ash- ford who retirbd a couple of year4 ago as an American league umpire took care of the humour with countless tales. for the pause of crippled children Urged. all present to do what they can to further the aid to the handicapped. He said, "we are getting ex- cellent facilities across Canada for crippled kids,but actually we, are only scratching the surface." The Whipper, who was a.

The first Exeter Lions club Sportsmen's Dinner held at the Exeter Legion. Hall Tuesday night was a huge success with about 250 persons in attendance. Most of the 11 guest speakers drew standing ovations from the very enthusiastic crowd. Getting the Most attention were wrestler Whipper Billy Watson and former big leagne baseball umpire Emmett Ashford, Watson, a long-time champion Last week we mentioned briefly a visit we made to the Tillsonburg Sports Complex, This time we would like to talk about it more extensively. A committee was recently set up by RAP, the organiza- tion which controls all activities of recreation, arena and parks to check into the grant structure as far as a sports complex is concerned. We realize the setup in Tillsonburg is a little too elaborate for Exeter but something on a somewhat lesser scale would certainly be feasible. The condition of the Exeter arena is deterioriating more each year and it won't be too long before a new facility must be considered, Tillsonburg has a population of 6,500 about double that of Exeter and has some 38,000 persons in the tri-county com- munity. The total cost of the Tillsonburg complex was just over a million dollars. A public subscriptiondrive netted the com- mittee $235,000. The emphasis was put on personal participation during the drive for monies. Several of the slogans were "Please put U in community centre" and "it won't be a community centre without U." Tillsonburg's recreation administrator Stan Moore told us the town's debenture against the building is $450,000 which is more than $200,000 less than was anticipated accor- ding to the brochure we have. ' One advantage in Tillsonburg was the fact they were able to build around the existing arena. The complex has a facility for almost every imaginable recreation need. The most popular appears to be the indoor swimming pool which is open twelve months of the year and every day of the week. The swim pool is of 25 metre Olympic size with one and three metre boards,bleachers for spectators, change rooms and locker areas. Cathy Lambden who is the recreation program director told us during the summer months lessons are taught in the indoor pool while open swimming is held in the outdoor pools. The day we were there youngsters from a district mentally retarded school were using the pool, The sports complex has 15 full time employees and as many as 20 in a part-time capacity. Stan Moore said as far as help was concerned the day of the volunteer is over. The facility which interested us as much as any was the health club which has more than $15,000 worth of exercising equipment. The health club has a membership of more than 300 and is used on a daily basis. It's a regular practice for men in the area to drop into the health club about 7 a.m. for exercises and a quick dip in the pool before going to work. A sauna is also available. Women also use the health club extensively and a baby sitting service is available while mothers partake of exer- cises. The fees for the health club are very reasonable. The yearly cost is $35 for juniors, $50 for adult ladies, $75, for adult males and $110 for an entire family. g Another important and well used part of the building is the senior- citizens wing. A large room capable of seating 60 people is the headquarters for the "gay 60 to 9(.1 club". It is used several times a week for afternoon card gaines. It is also available for small meetings, parties, banquets, weddings and private rentals such as stags. The auditorium seating 600 persons is acoustically tuned has a sprung floor, large stage and may be used as one unit or divided into three separate activity areas. It is ideal for dances, conventions, drama and musical programs. The day we were there they were making the necessary preparations in the auditoriuth to have a golf school. It may also be used for badminton, tennis, shuffleboard, ping pong and numerous other activities. The complex in Tillsonburg is located on the outer edges of the town and is being surrounded by new housing. In the immediate area there are eight apartment buildings, 60 new homes and a 44 unit senior citizens block right at the back door. Stan Moore told us the ice is only out of the arena por- tion of the complex for May and June. Beginning in July, three figure skating schools and two hockey schools are in operation. One of the hockey camps is under the direction of Peterborough Petes junior coach Roger Nielsen. The outdoor portion of the complex has two swimming pools, three lighted softball diamonds and four lighted ten- nis courts. As Cathy Lambden put it, "some people almost live here." She added, "I've known some mothers to make as many as 14 trips a day here bringing various members of the family and neighbours to swimming, figure skating and hockey schools which could be going on all at the same time." , Stan Moore said town council is happy with the opera- tion and the amount of persons whose recreation needs are taken care of so well and under one roof, He said the entire operation in 1973 cost the town $68,- 000. He 'was quick to add that $28,000 of this amount was for parks for which very little financial return can be had. When talking about the auditorium we forgot to mention the rates charged. During the week from Sunday to Thurs- day the daily fee is $50 and Friday and Saturday the charge is $100, In summing up all we can say is it's a wonderful com- plex giving all citizens of the town and area an excellent op- portunity to partake of all possible kinds of recreational ac- tivities. - One can dream, can't one? Ashford said umpiring was a very jealous profession with hundreds of men working throughout the minors and only 48 jobs available at the ton level. Heis now a goodwill am- bassador for baseball com- missioner Bowie Kuhn, Baseball was well represented with two players in addition to the "umpire, John Hiller told of some of the problems involved in coming back to the playing field after suffering a heart attack in 1971, Montreal Expos promising young shortstop Tim Foli told the audience that fans in Mon- treal ar,e the greatest in the world and he now makes his year round borne in the Quebec city. Foli in his short speech and afterwards had tremendous praise for the meal as provided by the Legion Auxiliary ladies. Speaking on behalf of hockey was former NHL defenceman Lou Fontinato who is now a successful cow-calf farmer in the Guelph area. Fontinato spent eight years with the New York Rangers and two with the Montreal Canadiens before a serious back injury ended his career. Glen Weir of the Montreal Alouettes was in attendance for professional football. He is a native of Dorchester and in his fourth year in the CFL, Strathroy standardbred horse owner Mac Cuddy said one thing lacking in the race business today were good blacksmiths and grooms. Cuddy is the owner of Smog who brought home $160,000 last year to the Strathroy turkey farm operator. Curler Jim Waite of St. Thomas predicted Paul Savage would represent Ontario in this year's Brier to be played in London. Waite represented Ontario at the Brier in 1968 but lost out to the eventual winner Ron Northcott. Last year he teamed with Don Gilbert of St. Thomas to win the Ontario Doubles Tankard. Ken Doig, a former hockey player and one of the best amateur golfers in Western Ontario was also in attendance. Doig spent a couple of his hockey playing years in Scotland. A Scottish native, Jim Hen- derson spoke on behalf of the sport of soccer. Now a resident of London, Henderson is a former Scottish professional. The ynaster of 'ceremonies was Tory Gregg,, " a former professional hockey player, better known for his horse show and race announcing. Gregg talked about a race in Exeter many years ago when TALKING ABOUT HOCKEY - Former NHL defenceman Lou Fontinato was one of the head table guests at Tuesday's Sportsmen's Dinner sponsored by the Exeter Lions Club. Shown above are Randy Decker, Lou Fon- tinato, Exeter Hawks manager Fred Mommersteeg and University of Western Ontario football coach Frank Cosentino. T-A photo Hawks end regular season, likely meet Mitchell next The Exeter Hawks finished the regular season of the,, Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" Western division Friday night on a losing note. After a winning spurt midway through the season, the Hawks became beset with injuries and were winless in their last nine starts. Friday night, the Hawks blew a first period two goal lead and dropped a 6-4 decision to the Mitchell Hawks at the Exeter arena, The local team will be idle for more than a week until the league playoffs get underway. A league meeting is planned for Sunday afternoon to line up the playoff arrangements. The Hawks finished 'in sixth place and will likely meet the Mitchell Hawks, probable, third place finishers. The Belmont Sunsets are in first place and will meet the fourth place club, possibly the Lucan Irish. If this happens then the Clinton Mustangs would meet the Strathroy Falcons in the other round. " Friday's final game for the Hawks was only a little more than a minute old when Rick Ingram put his Exeter club in front as he converted a pass from John Beer. called for eight of the 14 in- fractions called by referees Ray Richards and Murray Butcher. The third and fourth Mitchell goals came when a member of the Exeter club was sitting out a penalty. At 5.26 the Hawks were two goals up on their opposition when Matt Muller hit the mark with a successful shot. on a play set up by' Murray Parsons and Noel Skinner. With less than five minutes to go in the opening session captain Rick O'Donnell put his, Mitchell club on the scoreboard for the first time with his first of four goals. At 5.15 of the second period, O'Donnell was back in the scoring parade and the game was all tied up. Exactly a minute later, the Hawks took the lead again although this time it was very temporary. John Mommersteeg triggered the successful shot with the assist going to Brian Taylor. In the next seven minutes Mitchell scored twice to again lead by one• goal. Don Nicholson and Bob Skinner were the marksmen. Before the period ended, Matt Muller found the scoring for Exeter for the second time and the score was again evened up. Rick Ingram and Wayne Regier picked up the assists. In the third period, Rick O'DO-nnel fired the only two goals to ensure the victory for the Mitchell Hawks. Penalties were reasonably scarce with Mitchell getting Waxers defeated by Seaforth boys The Exeter Waxers were unable to hold onto an early lead in a Friday night novice exhibition game and dropped a 3- , 2 decision to Seaforth. L Goals by John Kernick and Scott Brintnell put the Waxers ahead at the end of the first period. The Seaforth club came on strong and tied the score in the middle session and notched the winner with six minutes to go in the third period. David Kunder scored twice for Seaforth and Charlie Malcolm fired the other successful shot. In other minor exhibition ac- tion, Tubby's 'Truck of London downed the Exeter bantam B's 10-3, St. Marys outscored the Exeter pee wee B's 9-1 and the local atom "B" club lost 6-0 to St. Marys. A pair of former goal tenders took care of the Exeter bantam scoring. Ted Triebner notched a pair of goals and Jim Veri fired the odd counter. The lone pee wee goal against St. Marys came from the stick of Doug Fletcher on a pass from Dan Preszca tor. Broncos win opener in OMHA playoffs In the first game of the first round of Ontario Minor Hockey Association playoffs, the Exeter Broncos edged Goderich 5-4 in Exeter Sunday. The second game of the best-of- five atom series will be played in Goderich Saturday with the third contest back in Exeter Sunday afternoon at 5 p.m. The close win over Goderich was accomplished with a solid Ca team effort with five different players sharing in the Broncos scoring. David Shaw started the team off on the right foot with an unassisted goal and was followed by Kevin Parson's successful shot on a three-way passing effort with David Jackson and Bill Glover. David Bell was next in line with a score on a solo effort end Mike Taylor hit the mark with help from David Bell and Rick Lin- denfield. The same combination produced what proved to be the winning goal. Lindenfield was the marksman with assists going to Taylor and Bell. In an exhibition garde Wed- nesday, the. Broncos scored an impressive 8-2 victory over Stoneybrook. David Bell, Peter Tuckey and David Jackson each scored two goals to pace the win over Stoneybrook.
