Volunteers discuss
recreational issues
About 80 volunteers and
committee members from
towns and townships around
the area gathered at
Wiingliam last Saturday to
compare notes and attend
workshops on recreational
issues.
The occasion was the
annual conference of the
Lake Huron Zone of the
Ontario Municipal
Recreation Association,
hosted by the Wingham
Recreation Committee at the
F. E. Madill Secondary
School.
Throughout the morning
and afternoon those at-
tending took part in
meetings and workshops on
topics such as financing
recreation programs,
special programs, the aging
plant, the role of municipal
recreation committee
members and amalgamation
of municipal recreational
services.
One of the chief aims of
these sessions is to
familiarize committee
members, nearly all of
whom are volunteers, with
the things which are im-
portant to recreation, ex-
plained Rennie Alexander,
Wingham recreation
director.
He added that he had at-
tended some of the work-
shops and they were "just
excellent".
It is a really good in-
formation -sharing ,time, he
said, noting that many
smaller municipalities do
not have full-time recreation
people so the volunteers do
all the work themselves.
Conferences such as this
give them a chance to get out
and see what others in the
province are doing.
He also paid tribute to
Merle Underwood of
Wingham, a former member
of the town's recreation
committee, for excellent
organization of the workshop
sessions.
The Lake Huron Zone of
OMRA extends from Lion's
Headand Owen Sound in the
north to Kincardine,
Goderich, Exeter and
Elmira, taking in both towns
and townships.
Hockey star is guest
at WMHA awards day
Dave Lowry, all-star left
winger with the London
Knights of the Ontario

round draft choice of the
Vancouver Canucks in the
1983 NHL entry draft will be
the guest of honor this
Saturday when the Wingham
Minor Hockey Association
holds its annual awards day.

Optimist fishing derby
is set for this weekend
Dozens of town and area
youngsters will be flocking to
the park in Wingham this
weekend for the annual
fishing derby sponsored by
the Wingham and District
Optimist Club.
The derby, which coin-
cides ~ with the opening of
fishing season, offers prizes
to the successful young
fishermen — and women —
and is always a popular
springtime event:
This year the Optimists
are not using marked fish in
the derby, a system which
created some problems in
previous years with over-
enthusiastic fishermen
trying to snag the prizes.
However they have
promised plenty of prizes for
all.
The upper pond in town_
was stocked by the Ministry
of Natural Resources this
week with 700 plump, young
rainbow trout, so catches
should be good.
The fishing derby starts
Saturday morning and
continues through Sunday:
