Times-Advocate, 1988-05-18, Page 33Rec Board Briefs
EXETER - Addressing -com-
plaints from the Summer Sports
• Council concerning the condi-
tions of the ball diamonds at
the Rec Centre, the South Huron .
Rec Board decided to adopt a new
system designed to keep players
off the fields when they are wct.
Members of the Summer coun-
cil complained that the diamonds
are too hard and wondered if there
was anyone on staff at the Rec
Centre who knew how to keep
the diamonds.
• Facility manager Cam Steward -
son explained to the board that all
the proper steps were being taken
to maintain the diamonds. !dot
weather conditions baked the
ground last season. The facilities
manager said the diamonds
couldn't be plowed up every sea-
son because they each have a dif-
ferent sub -surface.
Stewardson went on to say that
teams using diamonds when they
are wet is a major contributing
factor to the condition of the dia-
monds. •
In order to keep people off the
diamonds when conditions are un-
favourable, Stewardson suggested
adopting a system of flags which
.would indicate the condition_ of
the field. A red flag, for example,
would mean players should stay
off the diamonds while a green
flag might mean the diamonds are
alright to use.
The Rec Board favoured the idea
and recommended that Stewardson
meet with the Summer Sports
Council and explain the system.
* * * *
The Facilities Committee of
the South Huron Rec Board rec-
ommended that a proposal to
seal the concrete blocks on
the Rec Centre not be approved.
A London firm estimated that
they could seal moisture out of
the blocks for $60,000, but Ken
Oke questioned the' sealing pro-
cess.
"I don't have much faith in the
sealer," Oke said. "I think we
should cover up the mess that
we've got (with cladding)."
Oke suggested the board should
forget about the sealer and turn
their attention to the cost of clad-
ding the building.
Moisture seeping into the walls
of the Rcc Centre is causing nu-
merous structural problems in the
building.
* * * *
The problem of April book-
ings at the Rec Centre was ad-
dressed by the General Govern-
ment Committee and a number of
options were discussed. The op-
tion -which most interested the
board was the rental of a plywood
floor covering which would be
placed over the ice for the Opti-
mists Home and Garden Show and
then removed for hockey playoffs.
The floor covering would cost
S450 plus trucking expenses. It
takes three men roughly six hours
to jslall.
The arena could then be heated
with radiant heaters, but it was
noted that the covered ice would
be cold for the exhibitors to stand
on. -
Problems arose in A1-ril when,
Exeter Mohawks and.Exetcr Jun-
for Hawks advanced to the top lev-
els of their respective leap es but
were without home ice due to the
Home and Garden Show. The ice
was removed for the show and
then replaced in time for the two
teams to finish their playoff
schedules, but theprocess was far
from satisfactory to everyone in-
volved.

Twice Shy overwhelmed
By Adrian IIarte
LONDON =The rock duo Twice
Shy has been overwhelmed by the
response to their first release Take
me dancing. The song was fea-
tured on CKSL's battle of the
bands and won, not once, but 10
times last month.
Twice Shy consists of Lucan
rothers Steve. and Scott Reving-
ton. Steve is a teacher at Hensall
Public School. The band were
featured in the T -A last December
after winning the FM 96 Entracs
contest.
The battle -of -the -bands contest
plays recent releases against each
other and listeners phone in their
votes. The victor then battles a
second song later in the evening
to qualify for a return to the con-
test the next day. Twice Shy won
every battle for five days, the
maximum allowed under contest
rules.
The Revingtons credit their suc-
cess to the London night clubs
who have been playing the song,
loyal support from friends and
family, and to the song, which
they believe to be of a strong
commerical nature.
Something must have going
right for them to defeat such big
name acts as Nooshooz, Robert
Plant, Bruce Hornsby and the
Range, Michael Jackson, George
Harrison and others. Rumour has
it that a core of diehard fans in Ex-
eter contributed their fair share to
the winning votes.
Even though Take me dancing
cannot be found yet on any top -40
lists, it is already playlistcd on no
fewer than 14 radio stations and
can be purchased in nine record
stores in the London arca. Sam
the Record Man -in Exeter con-
firmed they still have copies of
the single in stock.
"They're selling quite well," said
Jay Alblas at Sam's. He added
that posters of the duo will be
available soon.
The Revingtons arc starting a
campaign to mail the single out
across Canada with hopes for na-
tional exposure. However, Steve
said that stations in the Sacramen- -
to, California have already ob-
tained copies and are giving the
song air play. This came about
because Scott took a demo tape
with him on a crurisc last wimer
and attracted some interest to the
group's music.
