T-A photo Few other township changes Stephen reeve plans to retire The only major change expected in area townships when nomination time rolls around next week is in Stephen. Reeve Cecil Desjardine said this week, “Yes, I ex­ pect I am going to quit. I have been waiting for some of my fellow councillors to say they are ready to move* up and this appears now to be happening.” This was confirmed Show considerable interest in district's mini Olympics Interest in a mini Olym­ pics for the south Huron area remained high following a 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 Exeter Pharmacy Ltd. Main Street 235-1570 Tuesday when the T-A contacted deputy-reeve Ken Campbell who said he was prepared to be nominated for the chief magistrate’s position. Doug Russell, a present member of council has said he would be seeking the deputy-reeve post if there was an opening. One of the other councillors Allan Walper said he would again be available for re-election for his same seat while the not have a' part in the actual running of the event. 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 third Ralph Weber was apparently undecided at press time. In Usborne township, little change is expected where reeve Bill Morley, deputy­ reeve Murray Dawson and councillors Peter Berendsen and Mervin Shute will be seeking re-election. The third councillor Gordon Johns could not be reached by the T-A but one source said he may not be retur­ ning. community basis along with 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.” Whiteford and Short said the idea behind the event when it was first conceived Please turn to page 12 In McGillivray township all members of the present council will be filing nomination papers.
