Clinton News-Record, 1984-05-16, Page 12is t �� iit look like a contender The Clinton Fleming -Colts open their 1984 Great Lakes Baseball • League season on Wednesday night when the host divisional rivals Kincardine Royals at 8 p.m. r According to Manager John Leppington the team is in a healthy state as far as personnel goes. "We are strong personnel wise but until we can see how our Stratford pitching prospects pan out, we, won't know how strong our pitching staff will be," John said. Coach Brian "Sly" Kennedy said the team will be strong defensively and offensively but said the team is lacking one or two pitchers. Manager Leppington said that Don MacDonald, Scott MacDonald and Dan Colquhoun will be pitching and the team has an eye on a left-handed prospect from Blyth. Coach Kennedy said Pitcher Jim Keller of Goderich will also be trying out for the team. Mike Williscraft is expected to be on the mound for Clinton as well. Returning players to the Fleming -Colts line up include veterans Butch Fleet, Dave Bartliff, Hans Leppington, Don and Cam. MacDonald, .G.reg Burns and John Hart. Hart will be out for 6-8 weeks with a cut tendon in his throwing hand.. Leppington said it's also possible that Cal Fremlin and Ron Wells of Chatham will be joining the team. s Outfielder Del Mitchelmore of Goderich and Richard Welch will be rejoining the team. Team management is impressed with the play of Mark Robinette of Seaforth. Robinette was a member of Seaforth's All - Ontario Championship softball team a few years ago and according to Manager Leppington "has a real good swing." Robinette appears to have secured a position in the Fleming -Colts infield, likely at the shortstop position. New players trying out for this year's, team include Clinton's Bill Tugwell, Ian Peck, Andy Flowers, Jimmy Martin from Goderich, Kevin Adams from;Goderich. Judging by the number of returning players on the Clinton roster Coach Kennedy feels that his team will be a strong contender this season. "I can't see where the league will be that much more improved. With Arva dropping out a major contender will be lost," Kennedy said. "After 8-10 games we should be able to tell what kind of shape we're in," Manager Leppington said of theteam outlook. Come out and. support the Clinton Fleming -Colts. Their season opener is Wednesday night. On Friday the Fleming - Colts take their show on the road when they play Walkerton at Wingham. The team travels to Byron to face the league's new team on May 21 before returning home on May 21 to play the Exeter Seniors.

Rednwn tie Seaf By RodHii . SEAFQRT} - Last Wednesday afternoon the CHSS Senior Redmen Soccer team were an even match for the undefeated Seaforth Bears as they tied them 1-1. According to Team Manager Kent Colqutloun the game was fast -paced and cleanly played. Two minutes into the game, the Redmen were inches away from scoring as George Coventry set up Charlie Walker, who tipped the ball off the goal post. Possibly thebiggest surprise of the game came when Head Coach Joe DeGroot chose to give David O'Rourke the nod to start in goal over veteran Mike Segeren. Segeren was coming back after recovering from a leg injury. O'Rourke proved he was equal to the task as he kicked out everything the Bears fired at him. Both teams fought to a scoreless first half. Seaforth opened the scoring in the second half as a bad break cost the Redmen. In an effort to clear the ball out of his own end, Ken Siertsema kicked the ball off a Seaforth rth I3ears player. Unfortlaately for Clinton the ball had enough momentui to :go: off the post past Q'Rolirte, low tot11e left side. The Rede'l tied the score with 13 minutes left is the game. C»arlie Walker scored on a perfect cross from Mark Cantelon. The ay carried down the left side where Walker let go a hard blast that went off the Bear's goalie and bounded into the net. Manager Colquhoun said, "Nothing .was going to stop that shot." The Bears took over from that point and according to Colquhoun the play of defenseman Siertsema was a big reason for Clinton salvaging the tie. The Redmen's record now stands at 4-1-2, good for third place in their tight division. The Seniors play host to Mitchell on Wednesday in the final game of the regular season. If Clinton wins they have a good Chance at finishing second in a battle with Stratford Central. All indications are that Seaforth will finish first. The Junior Redmen host Mitchell Wednesday in their final game of the season. Town pools a concern By Rod Hilts CLINTON - After a lengthy discussion on the status of the town's pools, the Recreation Committee here decided to defer.a decision regarding repairs and painting until they get the views of the Ministry of Health. Prior to discussing the issue, Secretary Marie Jefferson read the committee a letter from the Bingo Committee stating that they would donate $3,000 toward the building of a new wading pool. The Bingo Committee specified that they would only make a donation toward the building of a new wading pool and that they would not make a financial committment toward the repair of the old one. They felt repairs on the old one would be a waste of money. It was specified that they would not make a commitement until the project was underway. Recreation Director Kevin Duguay presented the committee with an estimate of $15,230 from Pobl Contractor Ken Smith to replace the wading pool, repair the main pool 'and training pool. Mr. Duguay was particularily concerned with the condition of the wading pool and the look of the main pool. "If it (wading pool) leaks and you have to fill it up everyday it's kind of silly. I think the facilities should be in good running order. The main pool needs to be repaired it's an eyesore and it's not safe," Mr. Duguay said. "Can you tell us where wecan get $15,000?" Recreation Committee Chairman Frank MacDonald asked. "I don't think it's (pools) thatinueli`of.an eyeisore." ' Committee member Jim Hunter said that the pool issue should be placed as a major budget consideration. "I do not feel at this time we can afford to increase the budget," Committee member Charlie Burgess said. Mr. Duguay noted that the issue cannot be delayed muchlonger as pool maintance operations are to begin on June 8. "We'll call. an emergency meeting if we have to," ChairmanFrank' MacDonald said. Money availahle? ' "Is there any way we can juggle our priorities around to make money available for this project? Mr. Burgess asked. Secretary Marie Jefferson told the committee that last year between $12,000 to $15,000 was buaeted for capital work. The question,was asked coital the committee increae their revenues to aid in paying for the, project. Mr. Duguay said that it could be done and noted, "People are gletting a real bargoon in this town for swimming and instruction." "What do we do ask people if they can afford to use our facilities before they come into it," Mr. Burgess said k reference to increasing the revenue. "We . can increase the revenue but it wouldn't be enough to pay for the pool," Mr. Hunter said. The committee will be acting on a decision from ,the ministry of Health as to which repairs are priority. The issue will be discussed at a special meeting. Youth restricted from premises The Clinton Recreation Committee set a no-nonsense precedent for abusers of "its facilities by banning an area youth from using them after an incident last month. Recreation Director Kevin Duguay told the News Record that on April 13 a youth was evicted from roller skating because "he was inebriated". The youth then tried to re-enter the arena after being evicted and a scuffle occurred between him and Arena Manager Clarence Neilans. Mr. ..Neilans received cartilage damage and has been off on workman's compensation since the accident. Recreation Secretary Marie Jefferson said. that Mr. Neilans will be off work for an unspecified length of time. The Committee said the youth 'will not be allowed to use Clinton's recreational facilities until he faces the committee at an open meeting. Motion rescinded The Committee rescinded a June 9 motion that stated all groups renting the arena hall. would be responsible for cleaning .the washrooms. "It's not the responsibility of the group renting the facility to clean the washroom," Mr. Duguay said. "It's ridiculous to have someone renting the place clean it," Mrs. Jefferson said.' Jim Hunter made a motion stating_ that the arena staff would be responsible for • cleanFirng the washrooms • durl rental 1VS�a I . ? ci9'tx+. rt*f wga;ow w »tY�?,i AtFacts EXERCISES IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE CARDIO - VASCULAR SYSTEM, ; 111 DR.
