Dan Pelletier resigned wlien lie inovcd lu Alberta, and, appareîitly, efforts lu recruit a successur vere liot terriblý' successful. At ay ate, flie searc iaseddaî Vice-President wvas appoiîîted about two weeks aigo. Tlhe ncw V-P is Ton-vy Baie of 23 Gerrie Court. Tony, and lus wife. Myra. and their two girls, Carolyn aind Julie, inoved t0 Whitby fromn Scarborougli iin Septenîber of 1973. Toîîy lias been a memiber of the Association silice it was formed, and was rccruited by Menibersliip Director John Giles 10 be a street representative. Il was in tIbis capacity that Tony aîîended thue falI general meeting on Septenuber 25îh, and was asked by the Executive to remain after the regular meeting concluded. At thaI Urnie, Giles asked Tony 10 serve on the Executive as V-P, and Tony agreed. Tony has participaîed in cornnunity activities ail along, and he and Myra are in tlieir second year as meîîîbers of the West Lynde Mixed Bowling League. This past sumnmer, Tony and a buddy. Clive Edwards, entered the County Town Carnival Car Rally. With Tony driviîug, and Clive navigating, their 1966 "Bug" energed victorious, defeating 50 other entrants. So, join me in wisliing Tony the best as lie takes on the tough job of Vice-President. He lias a toughi act to follow, but, talking 10 hirn, we gel the impression that lie will do al righ t.------------------ ---- 1 -TJ ù t bY -ari irs1 Thanks to our lirnited skills withi words, we were asked 10 get involved with this town's entry in the O.H.A. Senior "A" Hockey League, tue Whitby Warriors. We did so, not fully realising ail that was involvcd, but wlling t0 help out in whatever small way we could. Imiagine our surprise Miîen we learned of ail the work that goes inl 10 ficlding a competi- tive amneateur hockey leanu. The amount of work is staggering, and it falîs on the shoulders of a nu mber of men, a few of who 1 would like 10 mention here today. First, there is the Teani President Tom Fitzsimmons. Tom, who -is one of the founders of the club, is constantly on the go, arranging such tlîings as sehedules, picture sessions, sponsorship and the like. Thon, there are the Keenans, Ted and Mike. Ted has had the worry of selling program advertising, arranging the printing and selling of programs, and a million details associated with the progranus. Mlike, on the other hand, is the general manager along with being a player. As general manager, he has had 10 worry about arrangine nractice times, issuing invitations to players to try out with the club, and appointing a coach. Another fellow worth men- tioning is Al Armstrong who is the Secretary-Treasurer and who seems to be a jack of al trades. These four are joined on the Executive by people like Greg Steffler, Bob Smith, Tony Vella, and Doug Weales, and ail of these men work their tails off for the hockey team. The question of why they work so hard is not really1 difficuit 10 answer. AIl of themn love the garne of hockey, so that is one reason for their involvement. Some of themn remember the glory days of the Whitby Dunlops, and, 1 suspect, would like once again 10 field an Allan Cup Champion. The Dunlops were a good hockey team and tavelled ail over Canada and Europe in the quest for hockey glory. They also were a great advertisement for the town of Wh itby, and contributed, in a very large way, to the community feeling of Whitby. ýWe suspect that the execu-tive of this present Whitby teamn would like to develop this community feeling and community recogni- tion as well.1 eAt this point in the season, the executive has a great deal teice a teamn which includes ex-N.H.L.ers like John Wright, Peter Vipond, and Howie Menard. They have succeeded in developing community sponsorship for the team with 17 lcal businesses participating as s ponsors. They have given te town a hockey tbamn which the populace can identify wihand be proud of. Iurn heteman te 4nbein-te --,-esrv l'lie W.M.A.A.
