Stratford jumped to an early lead in game one, played Aug. 14, in Goderich, on two first -inning home runs. A single by shortstop Bill Ingham and and home run blast by pitcher Sean Pellow got Goderich back in the game in the bottom of the first to tie the game at 2-2. A solo homer in the third and two unearned runs in the fourth gave the visitors a lead the home side was unable to overcome, despite a sixth -inning one -run homer by Pellow. Stratford added three more runs in their half of the sixth to complete the scoring. Pellow struck out five Stratford batters in taking the complete -game loss. "He pitched a good game, but it just seemed like they (Stratford) got hits when they needed them," said Goderich coach Jim Hayter.

The Suncoast Ford Squirts won the championship at a tournament in Walton on Aug. 15, beating Cargill 11-1, Bluevale 2-0 and Wingham 2-1 along the way. inspiration The mere mention of the name Terry Fox sends shivers down my spine. Pic- tures flash in my mind of Terry dipping his artifjcial leg in the Atlantic Ocean, of Terry running down the highway in the pouring rain as hundreds of supporters cheer him on and of him being put in a helicopter on a stretcher when the cancer that took his leg spread to his lungs. I was living in Toronto in 1980 when his Marathon of Hope run, to raise money for cancer research, passed through. I was one of those people who lined the road to shout encouragements. What I remember best is, while he waved at us and he knew we were there, his eyes seemed to be look- ing hundreds of miles down the road. He was obviously tired and his limp was more Pronounced than usual but his head was up. It was almost as if he had his goal in sight. Terrence Stanley Fox was born July 28, 1958 and in 1977 his right leg was am- putated six inches above the knee due to bone cancer. He decided to attempt to run across Canada to help people with cancer after reading about a one -legged American marathon runner. He wrote to the Cana- dian Cancer Society explaining why he wanted to make the run. The letter ends: "We need your help. The people in cancer clinics all over the world need people who believe in miracles. I'm not a dreamer and. I'm .not saying this will initiate any kind of cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles. I have to." • After 144 days and 3,339 miles – two thirds of the way across Canada– Terry stopped running outside of Thunder Bay. The cancer had spread to his lungs. Following treatment with chemotherapy and interferon Terry Fox died at Royal Columbian Hospital, B.C. on June 28, 1981. However, he left a legacy of achievement and inspiration. He raised $24.17 million, $1 from every Canadian. He inspired Steve Fonyo, who also lost a leg to cancer, to complete his run and Rick Hansen who rode. his wheelchair around the world. Terry, Steve and Rick showed the world what people with disabilities could accomplish through determination. More importantly, they demonstrated the •capabilities we all have to reach a goal. The Seventh Annual Terry Fox 10km Run will be held in communities all across Canada on September 13, including Goderich. I encourage everyone to participate by either going on the run or pledging so- meone who is. You don't have to run. You can walk, cycle, jog, skateboard or even crawl the route. Take a friend and get some exercise. There is a bonus: you will appreciate even more the beauty of the prettiest town in Canada with a walk around Goderich in September. The organizer of this year's run is Deb- bie McPhee and she is currently asking Goderich businessmen to distribute pledge forms. Forms will be available at the front desk at the Goderich Signal -Star. Suncoast Mall is the official start -finish for the run and rimners are" asked to register by 9:00 a.m. and the run begins at 10:00 a.m. Runners may start anytime bet- ween 10 and 2. Prizes will be awarded in various catagories including first to finish the course. Refreshments will be available along the route. Last year 65 runners raised $1,373 and across Canada $3.8 million was raised at over 2,000 run site's. Ontario is responsible for over one third of the money raised with $1.4 million last year. The target is $1.55 million this year for Ontario. Committee studies plans Goderich Suncoast Ford Squirts pitcher Sean Pellow struck out five Stratford Batters enroueir night. Here, Pellow fires the pitch gameo waiting battA first r.(photobyive Patseries Friday Patrick Raft's) The Aquatic Centre Committee is in a Catch-22 situation. Before they can assess cost they must have a plan and before they can assess a plan they they must have some idea of costs involved. Brian Gregersen, an architect with Mof- fat, Kinoshita Assoc.. spoke to the commit- tee at its meeting on Aug. 11. Gregersen, who worked closely with John Stevenson in developing the initial centre design con- cept, explained the traditional stages in- volved in a project development for this type of facility. For example: in a project with an overall cost of $2.5 million approximately 9-10 per cent– $250,000– will go to architect fees. Conceptual design, including cost cunsultant is 15 per cent. Design develop- ment is 10 per cent. Working drawings cost • 40-50 percent and feild services run 25-30 per cent of overall cost. Architect fees include: all architectural drawings --structural, technical and mechanical. According to Gregersen, extra costs could include programming, landscape design, grading and cost analysis. A less traditional appr6ach to hiring an architect is to pay for existing designs. However, Teresa Feagan, in charge of public relations for the committee, said the plans will not be specific for the Goderich area and is not an option. To give the committee an idea of what is involved, Gregersen brought working drawings of a recreation centre currently being tendered in New Liskeard Ont. Gregersen will also send the committee names and phone numbers of people who have built similar facilities, concerning funding and a summary sheet of New Liskeard costing and the tender price of the project when it is announced to the public. Feagan said the recreation centre in New Liskeard, with an overall size of 25,000 square feet, is close to what they are` looking at. Goderich Town Administrator Larry McCabe contacted the New Liskeard administrator to gather backround.information. According to Mc- Cabe, the New Liskeard proposal to the government included private devolpment with a hotel, arena and radio station. "There was alot more to their proposa,L than just the aquatic centre," he said: However, the aquatic centre part is ap- plicable to Goderich. McCabe will give a full report to the committte at their next meeting Aug. 25 at 7':00 p.m. at the recrea- tion office. In addition sub -committee were formed to start investigating various components of centre development. The site location, components and phasing sub -committee includes Bob Woodall and Teresa Feagan. Capital and operating cost sub -committee includes Don Ethelston and Dawn Toombs and fundraising includes Don Neal . and Elsa Haydon. Recreation Director; Jane Netzke will sit on all sub -committees. The sub -committees will meet in- dividually before the next meeting and are to develop their ideas and plans as much as possible to report their progress at the next meeting. All sub -committee informa- tion will be devolped for a presentation to Town Council in September. Feagan said there was some response from the Aquatic Centre Questionaire that ran in the Signal -Star. The survey forms are still available at Marlin Harbour Light Travel on The Square and the results will not be tabulated until more are received. Feagan thanks those who have responded and encourages everyone to fill out the questionaire to make their opimions and ideas known. Return the form to Marlin Travel or the recreation office. More than 120 Ontario schools set up their own run sites and raised over $217,500 and 35 companies across the province rais- ed $93,000.
