• SWIMMERS FALL SHORT IN FOUR TEAM MEET
With several key swimmers--
especially in the older age
brackets—missing due to
vacation visits, the Exeter swim
team had to settle for second
place in a four-team meet in
Goderich, Saturday.
In a sport that usually favors
the home team due to the fact
they can muster more swim-
mers, Saturday's event was no
exception as Goderich emerged
on top with 421 points,
Exeter followed up with 373,
enjoying a wide margin over
Kincardine and Clinton who
finished with 248 and 145 points
respectively.
Most of the local supporters
were surprised at the final
verdict. They had closed the gap
on Goderich in the final two in-
dividual events on the program
and came through with several
points in the relay and they
thought they had a chance at the
title.
Several Exeter swimmers
came home with individual
honors from the meet,
Elizabeth Cottrell and Brett
Batten dominated the eight and
under divisions. Elizabeth scored
three firsts for 21 points, while
Batten had two firsts and a
second. Both of the youngsters
stepped up to higher categories in
the relay event and picked up
second place ribbons there as
well.
Tim Campbell and B,J, Batten
were the only other eight and
under swimmers for the Exeter
boys' team, Tim scored a fourth
in the freestyle, while B.J. came
sixth,
Karen Wells picked up a second
and third for the girls, while Jodi
McBride had a sixth and a third,
Steve Batten and Steve Laith-
waite paced the, 10 and under
boys, with Batten picking up 17
individual points on two seconds,
one third and one fourth. Laith-
waite had one second, one third
and a sixth. Ken Boersma had
two fifth place finishes.
Brenda Waldeck topped the 10
and under Exeter girls with two
firsts and one fourth, Lynn
Stephens had a third, sixth and
fourth; Tina Brand scored a third
and so did Darlene McBride.
The Exeter team picked up
their most points in the 12 and
under boys' races and most of
their competition came from
their own team members.
Scott Batten paced the division
with one first and two seconds for
17 points, while Bill Glover
recorded two firsts for 14, Scott
Pincombe had two thirds and a..
fourth, while John Mol picked up
a second and fifth, •
Lori Stephens had one third and
two fifths for the girls in that age
bracket. Catherine Patterson had
one fourth, Diane Boersma a fifth
and Kim and Kelly Livingstone
had one sixth each.
In the boys 14 and under, Paul
Campbell had a Second and fifth,
while Joe Blommaert and Jack
Smits had one sixth each,
Danette McLeod was the in-
dividual champion in the girls'
under 14 with two first place
finishes . Kathy Giffin had a
second and sixth, while Kim
McBride had one second and a
fifth. Debbie Waldeck placed for
one fifth and Sue Campbell had a
first in the butterfly and second in
the individual medley.
Steve Horn scored a first in the
boys' 15 and over medley and also
came home with a third and
second,
Debbie, Waldeck. also swam in
. that .age .bracket, to pick up two
seconds,

and under girls. Placing second
were Elizabeth Cottrell, Nellie
DeKoker, Dianne Boersma and
Kim Livingstone, while gaining a
fourth place ribbon were Jodi
McBride, Lori Stephens, Kelly
Livingstone and Catherine
Patterson,
The high-flying boys' entry of
Scott Batten, Scott Pincombe,
Bill Glover and John Mol scored a
15-meter win over their closest
rival in the relay and their first
place effort was duplicated by the
under 10 girls' team comprised of
Brenda Waldeck, Darlene
McBride, Lynn Stephens and
Tina Brand.
The other relay ribbon--a
second--went to the under 10
boys' team of Steve Laithwaite,
Brett Batten, Ken Boersma and.

Times-Advocate, August 4, 1977
Exeter rodeo officials are hoping the advancement of
dates, for this year's rodeo will bring about an increase in
attendance.
The popular show will be held this coming Saturday and
Sunday at Exeter Community Park. Ever since its incep-
tion the rodeo has been held on the Labour Day weekend.
For the first time the local rodeo committee is not in
jeopardy of losing any money on the rodeo.
Most of the work in putting on the rodeo is being taken
care of by contractor Mel Wakefield who will be supplying
the stock, judges, etc. and will accept the entries,
Wakefield will turn over a percentage of the gross
receipts to the local group who is responsible for the ad-
ministration, supplying of the facility and admissions. The
chore of handling the gate will again fall to members of the
Exeter Agricultural Society.
The rodeo will consist of shows Saturday and Sunday
afternoons. Starting times are 2 p.m. both days.
The two programs will include the many popular rodeo
'events along with the Little Britches calf riding contest.
• A goodly number of area boys and girls usually take
part in Little Britches.
Saturday night the annual rodeo dance will be held at
the Huron Park Rec Centre. Music will be supplied by
Larry Walls, who is a well known rodeo performer.
The early morning appetites of rodeo performers and
visitors alike will be taken care of by members of the Ex-
eter Saddle Club.
They will be "cooking up" pancakes, eggs, sausages
and potatoes. Sounds good, doesn't it.
To make it more worthwhile than ever, all profits pick-
ed up by the local committee will be turned over to the
South Huron Rec Centre.
As the rodeo slogan says, "Git on down to the rodeo."
Remember it's Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m.
More physical fitness
Two weeks ago we talked about physical fitness or the
lack of it in Canada.
Now we have come across some information that tells
us more and more Canadians are taking up a variety of
sports.
In 1976, Canadians bought more than 500,000 pairs of
Nordic skis, 800,000 tennis racquets and close to five million
tennis balls.
Adidas, the worlds largest sporting goods manufacturer
has tripled its sales of track shoes, track suits and racquet
sport accessories in the past five years.
Diversified Products of Canada which supplies fitness
equipment such as exercise weights and stationary bicycles
reports a 100 percent increase in business in every year for
the past three years.
This tremendous growth has not been lost to profit sav-
vy entrepreneurs throughout the marketplace. Fitness
buffs are offered a corncucopia of fashion, health foods,
how-to-manuals and books, health clubs and fitness and
sport complexes.
Another prominent aspect of the fitness scene is the in-
creasing sexual integration which is transforming the
solitary agony of shaping up into a social activity. After
Billie Jean King demolished Bobby Riggs on TV in 1973,
women began invading the tennis courts in earnest. Tennis
may have always begun with love, but now the jogging
routes and many health clubs are beginning to display their
co-ed character. While fitness and sports clubs offer ob-
vious opportunities for socializing with members of the op-
posite sex, they also have their own intrinsic rewards: even
if you don't meet someone, you've still done something con-
structive for yourself.
For a growing percentage of Canadians, keeping fit is
becoming an integral part of their day. Today's junior ex-
ecutives are likely to start for work early, toting a squash
racquet or skip the two hour, two martini lunch for a few
laps across the YMCA pool. More and more Canadians are
finding opportunities to shape up at the office. Canadian
corporations, although years behind European and even
American firms, are beginning to acknowledge the notion
that a fit employee may be a more productive employee,
one less likely to get sick and more likely to live longer.
In December 1974, the Fitness and Amateur Sport
Branch of the Department of National Health and Welfare,
invited delegates from over 50 corporations, companies and
agencies to attend a national conference designed to
stimulate the introduction of physical fitness programs in
Canadian business and industry. To kick the campaign off,
Recreation Canada, a division of the Fitness and Amateur
Sport Branch, set up fitness programs for the Post Office
and the Department of Public Works in Ottawa. Labatt's
Ontario Breweries began a serious fitness program in its
London plant shortly after. Because of its success, Labatt's
• extended the program to its London head office and its
Toronto brewery. In Toronto, IMPCO Health Screening,
owned by Imperial Life Assurance Co., operates a gym and
employs a full-time fitness director, who tests and works
out programs for 100 Imperial Oil executives and 70
Imperial Life employees. As an incentive, Imperial Oil asks
employees to pay the fitness fee themselves and then reim-
burses them if they get a good fitness report.
If anyone needs an imperative reason to get fit, it can
be found in. Canada's heart disease statistics. Car-
diovascular disease still causes 51.4 percent of all deaths in
Canada, and 40 percent of these are men in their most
productive years. While there is still probably a doctor or
two who won't recommend exercising as a way of reducing
heart attacks, or at least improving the odds of surviving
one, the evidence that it will seems overwhelming.
Apart from the more personal benefits, fitness also
makes imminent sense in terms of improving the overall
health of the country and reducing the economic burden of
ill health. Canada's health costs have risen from $2 billion
in 1960 to more than $7 billion t 6day,
