The Wingham Advance-Times, 1985-04-24, Page 181 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.

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.
