suspension following con
viction of a dangerous
driving charge. He also had
a previous conviction on a
charge similar to that which
he faced in court this week.
A third person facing a
charge of driving while
under suspension was John
Ivan Barrett, RR 1 Cen
tralia. He was fined $200 or
20 days.
Price and Barrett also had
their licences suspended for
an additional three months.
Edward Theodore Helm,
RR 2 Clinton, was fined $54
or five days on a charge of
having liquor available in a
motor vehicle and another
$58 or six days for failing to
provide proof of insurance.
He was found not guilty of
an impaired driving charge
laid on March 18, as a wit
ness in court this week
testified that he was driving
the vehicle at the time, and
not Helm.
Drug charges
Three people appeared in
court to face charges of
possession of marijuana.
John Peter Vandermolen,
Aylmer, was fined $100 or 10
days on a charge laid on
June 9 when a small amount
was found in a car in which
the accused was riding with
four other people.
Allan Richard Wilson and
Annette Marie Renno, both
of RR 1 Granton, pleaded
guilty to possession charges
laid on July 19 when police
found 66 marijuana plants
growing in a sand box,
another four in a window box
and four in a garden.
It was indicated that the
harvest appeared to be very
poor with only two ounces of
dried marijuana being
produced from the plants
which were being cultivated
for their own use.
Renno was fined $50 or five
days, while Wilson was
penalized $150 or 15 days.

Another present member
of council, Harold Patterson,
said this week he has still not
made up his mind. He’s
considering retiring after six
years on council.
“Being in business and on
council has its problems,” he
said.

meeting Wednesday between
the individuals who have
explored the concept and
several interested citizens.
Deb Wooden and Bob
Whiteford told the 13 people
who attended the meeting
they were looking for input
from citizens across the area
and what they were
proposing were simply
suggestions.
Rec Administrator Kirk
Armstrong said he had no
pre-conceived notions as to
what will take place but he
said the event will “be a
competition for the fun of it.”
Armstrong emphasized his
role would be strictly as a co
ordinator and that he would

Doug Russell, a present

Wooden and Whiteford told
the gathering the week of
activities in June of 1980
would cap a period of
physical fitness awareness
for the people of this,area.
Wooden said physical
fitness could be approached
from three different angles:
independent activities,
organized activities and
consultant designed physical
fitness programs for clubs
and industries.
The Olympic week could
see a wide variety of ac
tivities take place with all
major recreation facilities in
Stephen, Usborne and
Exeter being utilized.
The pair also proposed the
competition could be on a

competition on an individual
level. They pointed out
community participation
oriented sports events were
not new, with Port Elgin and
Owen Sound running sport
fests for a number of years.
While the overall concept
met with general approval,
there was some question as
to what was the purpose
behind the year and a half of
activities.
Al Beattie, a teacher at
Usborne Central School
asked how interest in the
program would be
stimulated among children
who already know their
athletic limitations and
among adults who have been
away from sports.
He said it was among these
latter groups that the idea
would have to be sold.
Wooden suggested the
activities could be set so the
main competition would be
between the individual, in
terms of improving his or
her level of physical fitness.
Armstrong agreed, saying
participants should be
recognized but he didn’t
know how it could be ac
complished.
Eric Finkbeiner of the
Stephen township recreation
committee gave his en-
dorsation to the project
saying “There are people
looking for things to do” as
witnessed by the success of
the slowpitch league which
operated this past summer
out of Crediton.
Dennis Hockey of the
Exeter Kinsmen said he was
interested in the physical
fitness benefits of such a
program. He said winning
does not interest him.
Armstrong said the sport
van of the ministry of culture
and recreation will be
coming to Exeter in
November to check the
physical fitness levels of
area citizens and that the
van could come back on a
regular basis if a good
number of people show up.
Kevin Short suggested
some of the sports could be
based on conditioning with
the person who improved his
level of physical fitness the
greatest, winning.
Ron Helm representing
soccer in the area, suggested
the primary goal of the
Olympics group at this time
should be to identify what is
to be achieved.
Doug Ellison concurred
with Helm and said one goal
should be set.
The South Huron phys-ed
teacher said “The goal
should be defined and then
find the necessary parts that
Will fit that goal.”

Kinsmen plan to aid

The major project this
year for the Exeter and
District Kinsmen Club is to
raise money to buy
physiotherapy equipment for
the South Huron Hospital’s
physiotherapy Department.
The Department at
present, according to Elmer
Taylor, former ad
ministrator, is inadequately
equipped for the number of
people who need to use the
physiotherapy equipment
each year.
The cost for replacing the
equipment has been
estimated at $3,000. The Club
has decided to raise the
money for the hospital
