The Bears took over from that point and
according to Colquhoun the play of

Clinton salvaging the tie.
The Redmen's record now stands at 41-2,
good for third place in their tight division.
The Seniors play host to Mitchell on

chance at finishing second in a battle with
Stratford Central. All indications are that
Seaforth will finish first. The Junior

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 Pool 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 we _ can _get_
$15,000?" Recreation Committee Chairman
Frank MacDonald asked. "I don't think it's „cleaning the washroomsd
(pools') that°znti'elfof an bye/sore." ''' inc`t% s:" F' ' 11$: Mr.r:
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 much longer as pool maintance
operations are to begin on June 8.
"We'll call an emergency meeting if we
have to," Chairman Frank MacDonald said.
Money available?
"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.
•. Tile question was asked could the
committee increase their revenues to aid in
paying for the project. Mr. Duguay said that
it could be done and noted, "People are
getting 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 in 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 sozneolie renting
the place clean it," Mrs. Jefferson said.
.Jim _Hunter trade a motion stating that
the arena staff would be responsible for
uring: rental

oils -look like a contender
The Clinton t,1eming-Colts open their 1984
Great Lakes Baseball League season on
Wednesday night when the host divisional
rivals:Eincardine Royals at 8 p.m. -
According to Manager John Leppington
the team i'S 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, Greg 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. 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 goad 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 fromGoderich.
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 the team 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.

Graham, Norma McGregor of Clinton, Dan
Bingeman of Embro . and D.T. Wallace of

Seaforth won two surf and turf dinners.

SEA1'QRTH - Last Wednesday afternoon
the CRSS Senior Redmen Soccer team, were
an: ellen match for the undefeated Seaf`orth
Bears as they tied them 1-1.
According to Team Manager Kent
Colquhoun 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 the biggest 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
