Nec centre board decides to turn off diamond Iiqhts
The South Huron recreation centre
board of management has decided not
to turn on the lights at the number one
ball diamond this year, because they
are a safety hazard.
Fundraising for a new set of dia-
mond lights has begun. The Exeter
Inn-dians ball team have donated
$1,000 to the cause. The lights will cost
at least $15,000, and the board has
decided that the lights won't go up un-
til hall the funds have been raised.
There were problems with the old
lights being outdated, going out dur-
ing games and throwing sparks. The
board felt that spending more money
repairing them would be futile.
The new lights would ideally go up
in two weeks, but that would mean
having to raise about $8,000 in two
weeks. The board has decided to take
down the poles from the old lights, as
long as they can find a way for it to
be done at no cost to the rec centre.
A letter will be sent out to groups nor-
mally using the diamond explaining
the situation
Tenders will be called for the lights
in the near future.
Letters will be sent to the
Townships of Hay and Usborne,
thanking them for their 1985 contribu-
tions. Hay contributed $800, and
Usborne $10,000 in four installments.
The letters will express the hope that
the townships realize the importance
of the recreation grant.
The purchase of an ice resurfacer
was discussed. At a hockey tourna-
ment recently, the ice plant was
malfunctioning, and the current
scraper equipment was -.unable to
cope with the problem -of the soft ice.
Twelve teams were involved in this
hockey tournament, held on April 5,
6 and 7, a weekend with relatively
warm weather. The benefits of a new
ice resurfacer in these circumstances
were outlined; a new style machine
could take off the top layer of ice and
expose the good ice underneath,
quickly, and without having to reflood
the surface. It was decided that an ice
resurfacer would be a worthwhile
purchase, if the necessary $30,000
could be raised. It would greatly cut
down the amount of staff time
necessary for ice maintenance.
Recreation Director Lynne Far-
quhar's report included good news
about the spring programs. Registra-
tions are up, with all programs
receiving enough participants to go.
Ballet, tap and jazz has 62 par-
ticipants, morning trim -a -size has 31,
