The meeting was the Clinton Recreation Committee's June gathering, held on June 11. I learned of a few projects that have recently been completed by or in conjunc- tion with the recreation workers. The new fountain in the arena park was completed on June 5 at around 6 p.m., just in time for the beginning of the spring fair. Clinton Recreation Director Steve Camp- bell explained that the old fountain was in a terrible state of disrepair, and for this reason it had to be replaced. The new one was donated by the Bingo Committee and installed by the recreation committee with, Mr. Campbell added, big thanks to the Clinton Public Utilities Com- mission for hooking it up. The workers he particularly wanted to thank from the PUC were Albert Valkenburg and Tom McMahon. Another project completed just in time for the fair that the committee had a part in was the painting of the grandstand at the arena. The project was undertaken mainly by the raceway committee, but recreation are paying for 30 per cent of the job. The underneath section of the grandstand was the area that was painted. It was mentioned a 'few times at the meeting that there have been many com- pliments from the general public on the work done. Mr. Campbell stated, "It really looks good. It really brightens it up." The presentation by Dan Colquhoun, chairman of the arena board, a sub- committee of recreation, brought forth a discussion on another major job recreation will have to undertake this summer. Mr. Colquhoun was presenting a request that a spring figure skating school be held in 1988 from March 28 to April 24. Last year's school cost the arena approximate- ly $1,000, but the income from it came to $2,000. Because the holding of the school will mean the ice will be in the arena for two weeks longer than ever before, the subject of putting a new motor in the ice plant carne to the forefront. Before jumping into that discussion, however, the committee carried the mo- tion that the school will be held. Because of the jobs recreation has undertaken recently, such as the painting of the pool, Clinton Councillor Case Buff- inga suggested the committee hold off on the motor job until later in the summer. "I realize that all of the expenses come at once, it might make it a little easier if you wait until August," he said. The rest of the committee agreed on August as the work has to be completed before the ice goes in for the fall hockey school. The new motor will give them 75 horse power, up from the 50 horses the old motor put out. "It will give that extra boost needed to start the ice early in September and hold it in until April," Mr. Campbell explained. Work will begin on the job that will cost approximately $5,000 in early August. While on the subject of the arena the committee discussed the fall hockey school. This year it will run from September 14 to September 26. Mr. Colquhoun noted that they decided not to raise the fee this year from $75 because the prices for minor hockey have gone up, and the committee doesn't want to lose any kids from the school because they jack their prices up. The school was a profit maker for the arena last year, bringing in $3,000. After a lengthy discussion, the commit- tee decided that the Clinton Arena will be put to use as a place to hold buck and does. The only point that was making the com- mittee a little wary about holding the par- ties was their fear that damage might be done to the arena. Damage has been caus- ed at buck and does in other areas, and the committee discussed a solution to the problem They decided they will ask for a $500 che- que up front, on top of the rental charges. This cheque will be returned to the person in charge of the party after arena staff have checked over the premises to make sure no damage has been done. If damage is done, the cost for repairing it will be taken out of the $500 cheque, with the rest of the money being returned to the renting party. Thanks Thanks to the people who have been faithfully dropping in their baseball and ball hockey stats and scores. Anyone else who would like to see their team in the news should follow their lead.

The official Canadian Motocross Sanctioning body awarded Hully Gully the first round of the Expert series to be held on June 20 and 21. Expert riders, the most skilled of all motocrossers, will be coming from all over Canada to compete for a part of the $7.500 purse. Canada's top and now world-class racer, Ross Pederson, will be defending his number one position against the best of the rest. Hully Gully will be hosting the very com- petative 125 & 250 Expert classes - the two classes that generate some of the most ex- citing action. In both classes rider skill and stamina are what determines the winner rather than raw horsepower. The Hully Gully facility is no stranger to National level competition, having won the CMA's highest award, the Organizer's Award in 1982. Since then they have hosted three National events proving their exper- tise in promotion. The 1987 Expert National Championships begin on Saturday, June 20 with the Support Classes and continue on to Sunday with the Pro Classes. This year's event promises to be one of Canada's best races!
