How it hurts the heart to remember
The son who never returned —
How it. freshens the grief for the parent
Who waited, and prayed, and yearned.
For them, it is still yesterday,
Though time, has bleached white the shore
Where sons died fighting for freedom,
In the terrible battles of war.
Let us who were given this freedom,
Not tarnish, nor cast it away,
But cherish it, love it, respect it,
And remember —REMEMBRANCEDAY.
Wear a poppy "proudly"
in Remembrance

The first of the minor
hockey Wednesday night
tripleheaders was an ex
citing night for local fans as
all three tilts were undecid
ed to the final whistle.
The Exeter and Lambeth
pee wees battled to a 3-3 tie,
and after the local bantams
scored a narrow 3-2 win over
the visitors, the two midget
teams fought to a 2-2 draw.
Exeter’s pee wee entry
battled back on three oc
casions to knot the count,
Steve Batten firing home the
final local goal with only 21
seconds left on the clock and
two Lambeth players look
ing on from the penalty box.
Steve Laithwaite won the
draw in the visitor’s end and
Darren Vandergunst relayed
it on to Batten for the tie.
Lambeth led on three oc
casions only to have Exeter
even the count.
Doug Scott picked up the
first Exeter tally with the
assist going to Vandergunst,
while Jeff Pfaff found the
range on the other one with
help from Laithwaite and
Brent Dawson.
Shoot at
clay bi rd
The Claybird gun club in
Hay township continues to be
a popular spot with both
shooters and spectators.
October 22, Jody
Mosurinjohn and Bill Weber
led the trap competitors with
22 successful shots. Ted Van
Rompey was next at 20, John
Love scored 19 and Wayne
Riddell hit 16. Other scores
were Glen Vickery 15, Sue
Mason 12 and Mary Prevet 9.
The same day, Glen
Vickery and Wayne Riddell
topped the skeet shooters at
20, Jody Mosurinjohn hit 19,
Larry Mason scored 17,
Kitchener Pavlick had 16,
Tim Oliver 14 and John
Mason nine.
Sunday, Larry Mason led
the trap shooters with a
score of 21.
John Mason and Dale
Dinney were next at 17 in the
trap section. Glen Vickery
and Jody Mosurinjohn each
scored 16, Ted Van Rompey
hit 15, Jim Caughy 12, Marv
Prevet 11 and Tim Oliver
seven.
Rick Gilfillan played a key
game in the nets to give the
locals their first Shamrock
league point.
The bantams pulled out
their win in equally
dramatic fashion as Mike
Murray fired the winner on
a play with Jim Siddall with
only 11 seconds left in the
game.
That contest had also been
tied on two occasions as
Lambeth battled back after
Exeter tallies.
Captain Tom Coates
scored the first marker on
an unassisted effort, while
the other came off the stick
of Mark Vandergunst with
the assists going to John
Kernick and Jamie Chaffe.
In the final game of the
night, the local midgets
came from behind a two-
goal deficit to score their tie
with Lambeth.
Robert Willert scored both
goals for the home team, the
first coming in the second
period on a play with Dave
Jackson and Kris Bedard.
He knotted the game in
the third when he finished
off a power play with Steve
Pearce and Doug Brooks
with under four minutes left
in the game.
Steve Wells, who played
the first and third periods in
goal, came up with some
sensational play in the final
period to keep the visitors
from pulling the game out of
reach.
Waxers lose two
The Exeter Waxers
dropped both their starts in
Shamrock novice action
over the weekend.
They came home with a 3-
1 loss from Dorchester on
Saturday and were then
shutout by a 2-0 verdict in a
home game with Mt.
Brydges the following day.
Stephen Lingard was
credited with the only tally
the team mustered, scoring
in a goal-mouth scramble in
Dorchester, The assists on
the play went to Larry
Lewis and Jeff Dalrymple.
Playing at home, Sunday,
the locals just couldn’t find
the scoring range on several
good chances as they out
played their opponents.
This week, the Waxers
will play an exhibition game
in Parkhill on Saturday and
then host Lambeth in a

Shamrock contest at the rec
centre at 6:00 Sunday.
Atoms win two
The Exeter atoms, after
losing their first two
Shamrock starts, evened
their record with a pair of
wins on the weekend. They
clipped Dorchester 3-1 on
Saturday and skated to a
close 3-2 win over Oakridge
at the rec centre, Sunday.
Danny McLean scored
twice to pace the win in
Dorchester, being in the
right spot to pick up
rebounds off shots taken by
captain Brett Batten on both
occasions.
Dave Russell fired the
other marker on a long shot
from the blueline that found
an open corner.
Terry Zachar picked up
two assists in addition to
Batten’s, while Bryan Quinn
registered one.
in Sunday’s battle, Exeter
spotted Oakridge a 1-0 lead
and then came back with
two of their own with Paul
Mellecke pulling the tripper
on the first and Brett Batten
scoring the second.
After Oakridge came back
to even the count at two a
piece, Lee Watt scored the
winner in the middle frame
with the assist going to
Mellecke.
Five shooters
tie at Kippen
It was a disastrous week
for the two football teams at
South Huron District High
School.
They each lost two games
and as a result will be forced
to play their sudden-death
semi-final playoff games
away from home.
The junior club lost 12-6 to
Stratford Northwestern
Thursday and were beaten
20-9 by Goderich, Tuesday.
The junior Panthers
coached by Doug Ellison and
Dave Cox will be in Stratford
Tuesday afternoon at 2 p.m.
to meet Northwestern. The
winner of that contest will
advance to the H-P final
Saturday, likely in Goderich.
The senior situation is a
little more complicated. Ron
Bogart’s team lost 8-6 to
Northwestern, Thursday and
were bombed 62-0 by the
Goderich Vikings Tuesday.
The seniors finished in a
tie for third place with
Listowel and Stratford
Northwestern.
Convener Fred Norman of
Norwell conducted a flip
Wednesday morning and as
a result Listowel placed
third and South Huron and
Northwestern will meet in
Stratford Friday to decide
fourth place.
If successful Friday the
Panthers would go to
Goderich Tuesday to meet
the Vikings in the semi
finals.
Not all the bad news for
coach Ron Bogart came in
the scoreboard. Two of his
top performers are in
hospital and out for the
season.
Pass receiver and kicker
Steve Beer broke a leg in the
second quarter- when hit
after catching the ball.
Coach Bogart described
the accident as a fluke,
saying, “Steve caught the
ball and turned to go upfield
when he was tackled high.
His tackler only weighed
about 140 pounds.
Sean Walden suffered back
and internal injuries and will
also be missed.
Too much power
Bogart described the
Goderich team as
powerhouse. They block and
hit with severe deter
mination.”
The Vikings literally blew
the Panthers off the field
with touchdowns the first
four times they got their
hands on the ball.
The same pattern repeated
in the second half with five
scores in the same number of
series. t
Doug Brooks and Doug
Hoffman were named
Tuesday’s Panther players
of the game on offence and
defence, respectively.
No desire
In Thursday’s 8-6 loss to
Northwestern, Bogart said
his team “couldn’t do things
right because there was no
desire to win.”

and went over for a touch
down.
Kevin Hern was the top SH
ball carrier with 57 yards in
nine carries.
Steve Beer was the tops on
offence while defensive
honours were shared by
Doug Hoffman qnd Brad
Taylor.
Penalties hurt
Despite Tuesday’s 20-9'loss
to Goderich, junior coach
Doug Ellison said his “boys
played well and except for a
third quarter letdown when
penalties hurt could have
won.”
Ellison is confident his
team will win against North
western and qualify for the
final round against Goderich
or Listowel.
The Panthers scored the
only first quarter point
against Goderich on a single
kicked by Steve Pearce.
Goderich countered with a
converted touchdown in the
second period. Late in the
quarter Steve Pearce hit
Dave Shaw for a 30 yard
touchdown. Pearce tossed to
Wayne Smith for a two point
convert and the Panthers
were ahead 9-7.
Goderich came back with
major scores in the third and
fourth periods. One went
unconverted.
Score early
In Thursday’s loss to
Northwestern the Panthers
were again first on the
scoreboard. They were
ahead 6-0 at half-time thanks
to an unconverted touch
down by Pat Cyr on a run of
five yards off tackle.
The touchdown was set up
when Doug Willard in
tercepted a pass and ran it
back 35 yards.
Jamie Chaffe picked off a
Stratford pass late in the
first half to slow the op
position down.
Pat -Cyr and Rick Lin
denfield shared ground
gaining honours with 69 and
51 yards, respectively.
Gary Spurn led the defence
with 11 key tackles while
Doug Willard was in on eight
and Dave Bell and Greg
Prout seven each.
A beautiful season
for the outdoorsman
There are nearly 59
kilometers of cross country
ski trails in the park which
are open from 10 a.m. until
dark. Skiers must register
when heading out on the
trail then sign out upon
returning. This lets park of
ficials know if anyone is left
(possibly injured) on the
trails after dark. There
are several trails ranging
from two to twenty
kilometers in length.
Snowmobiles are welcome
on the 14 miles of trails
made for them but there
must be at least six inches of
snow on the ground. It is
wise to call in advance to
check on snow conditions.
There will also be an out
side fire burning all daylong
(up until 10 p.m.) on
weekends. This, located
near the toboggan hill and
skating rink will be especial
ly attractive to those par
ticipating in those activities
after dark. It makes a great
atmosphere for those wan
ting to get warm or chew on
a roasted wiener.
Those interested in
photography will be pleased
to hear that deer are fre
quently observed in winter
and there are up to 100
roaming the park.
The cost of all this? Two
dollars per car per day!
That’s pretty cheap for all
the available activities.
Where else can a family
combine a trip with all those
activities at that price.
There is an additional
charge of one dollar per
snowmobile entering the
park as well.
For information on the
park or its activities phone
519-243-2220 and have a good
day with your family!

Autumn is one of the most
beautiful seasons of the year
for the outdoorsmen. The
trees are a blaze of color,
wildlife is generally abun
dant and best of all the
mosquitos are gone.
Most non-hunters don’t
realize that this time of
year; as well as winter, is a
great time to be out doors
and one of the best places is
only 30 minutes drive from
us.
The Pinery Provincial
Park, which lies between
Highway 21 and Like Huron
just south of Grand Bend,
has a full line of activities
for those interested in fall
and winter outdoors.
All year round there is a
naturalist available to
answer any questions
visitors may have and to
guide tours through the park
trails upon advance notice.
Campgrounds will be clos
ing on December 1 or the
first snowfall whichever
comes first. The closing of
the campgrounds is the
result of a budget cut; as is
the closing of the ski lift.
Other years downhill skiing
and winter camping has
been available.
In talking with Bruce
Houck, park superintendent,
I found out that the
employees are in full swing
preparing for the winter
season. The nature centre is
being converted to a chalet
type building to have a
coffee and get warm.
The cross country ski
trails are being groomed as
are the snowmobile trails.
The toboggan hill and
skating rink are also being
made ready.
