Usborne Township’s
Michele Hodgert was
inducted into the Ontario
Ringette Association’s Hall
of Fame as a community
builder at the Western
Ontario Ringette
Association meeting Sept.
12 in Stratford.The honour
is a huge one in small town
Ontario as not many rural
ringette officials get the
nod.Ten ringette officials
are inducted into the
provincial hall each year
from across Ontario.
Hodgert,36,was nominat-
ed by two past presidents
of the Huron-Perth
Ringette Association.All of
Hodgert’s three children
play or have played
ringette.Alana,11,is in her
eighth season,Andrew,6,
played for three years and
Amanda,4,is starting her
second season.Hodgert
said she enjoys coaching at
“the grass roots.I love to
see a girl come into the sport as an ‘ice walker’ and help her progress into a good
skater.I give 100 per cent of myself to my sport and hope I can pass this on to my
players.Hodgert has coached Petite,Tween,Novice and Bunny which she is coach-
ing this season.She has been the Huron-Perth scheduler since 1989-90 and has
been the statistician since 1993-94 (she has dropped the stat job this season).
Hodgert has been the Exeter and District Ringette Association tournament fund-
raising chairperson since 1992-93 and is the association’s president this year.With
the scheduling position,Hodgert makes sense of over 500 games to be played.
Hodgert is proud of the honour.“It’s great knowing that someone appreciates my
time I spend for the kids,” she said,adding she wouldn’t be able to do all she does
in ringette without having a seasonal job at Ironwood Golf Club as clubhouse
manager.(photo/Craig Bradford)

NILESTOWN — Sometimes your best
effort isn’t enough.
That’s the story behind the Exeter
Fury’s 1-0 road loss to the second place
White Eagles Saturday. The home team
scored late in the game to get the victo-
ry.
The game was evenly played with both
teams having excellent opportunities to
score. The home squad had the first
chance but were unable to score on a
penalty kick, firing it wide. Shortly after
they missed an empty net when a shot
bounced off the post across the front of
the net and out the other side.
The game was scoreless into the sec-
ond half with Exeter’s defence of Joe
Forrester, Ryan Hern, Shawn McFalls
and Ron Wagler turning away the oppo-
sition time after time. The Fury had a
good chance but Marty DeBruyn’s kick
from the top of the box sailed over the
net. The White Eagles had a goal called
back due to a foul on Joe Forrester.
Forrester’s hustle allowed him to get a
good position on the ball carrier who
shoved him down as he put his kick into
the net. The game was back and forth
when the Fury left a man unmarked on
a corner kick with about five minutes
left and a second later the ball was
behind keeper Nathan Holmes who had
no chance on the play.
The Fury didn’t give up easily. The
team marched down the field pressing
for the equalizer. Their best chance
came when Tim Hundey found himself
alone in close with the keeper on the
ground. Unfortunately for the Fury,
Hundey’s off-balance kick trickled right
into the goalie’s outstretched arms.
“That was one our best played games
of the season,” Fury spokesperson Jason
McFalls said. “Everyone played well and
our defence was outstanding.”
The loss drops Exeter’s record to 5-7-4
and 19 points, good for sixth place in the
Western Ontario Soccer League’s Third
Division. The White Eagles sit at 11-1-4
and 37 points, just two points behind
first place Curinga (12-2-3, 39 points)
with a game in hand. America is right in
the hunt for first at 11-3-3 and 36
points. Woodstock is fourth at 9-5-2 and
29 points and Ingersoll is right in front
of the Fury at 6-4-7 and 25 points. The
Fury will hold onto sixth spot as
Taxandria has just a game left at 4-10-3
and 15 points. St. Columban is eighth at
4-12-1 and 13 points while the London
Hornets at 3-11-3 and 12 points and the
Delhi Royals at 3-13-0 and nine points
round out the division
Exeter finishes their season with two
games this week: a rescheduled game at
home versus Woodstock tomorrow at
6:15 p.m. and at St. Columban Sunday
at 4 p.m.
Fury fight hard but lose anyway
MITCHELL — The
Panthers growled loud on
the field hockey pitch in
their first regular season
action Friday in Mitchell.
South Huron District
High School’s field hockey
team overcame the ele-
ments and the opposition
to post two strong wins.
In the first game of the
season, South Huron
soundly defeated Listowel
4-0. After only three min-
utes, Leanne Cronyn
scored the first goal.
Shelby Musser notched
two more at the 10 and
17 minute marks.
The score at half time
stood at 3-0 and could
have been double that,
coach Jim Workman said.
Lindsay Muller scored
her first goal in her first
league game 26 minutes
into the second half. The
game allowed all 20 play-
ers to play and gave the
rookies some valuable
experience. Maria Dinney
recorded the shutout.
In the second game that
day, the Panthers easily
defeated Mitchell 3-0.
Musser opened the scor-
ing after 11 minutes and
Cronyn added a second at
17 minutes. Brittany
Foster scored her first
goal of the season 20 min-
utes into the second half.
Workman said this was
a physical game and a
number of players
received minor injuries,
but the Panthers demon-
strated that the best way
to win is to score more
goals than the opposition.
Dinney again recorded
the shutout and strong
games were exhibited by
all 20 players.
This will be a busy week
on the field for South
Huron, travelling to
Listowel Monday (*results
unavailable at press),
hosting St. Marys and St.
Anne’s Wednesday and
playing in the annual
Schoolgirls Tournament
in Toronto on the week-
end.

EXETER — Saturday
was Don Heywood’s lucky
day.
Heywood stroked a hole
in one at Ironwood Golf
Club during Senior Men’s
league action. He used his
driver to ace the 186
yard, par three 15th hole.
The feat was witnessed by
Ron Chanyi, Wayne
Pearce and Jim Wallace.
Needless to say,
Heywood won the closest
to the pin honours on the
15th hole that day during
the wrap-up tournament.
