Clinton News-Record, 1985-5-15, Page 14TORONTO -Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation, • Claude F. Bennett, has an- nounced changes to grants procedures to streamline and speed up ministry grants which assist communities in their recrea- tion construction projects. "The changes mean an accelerated pay- ment schedule of the $25 million for the cur- rent Wintario capital grants programs plus an additional $11 million for refurbishing ex - g facilities under the Community Rclreation Centres Act. (CRCA)"Mr. Ben- nett' said. "As a result many Ontario communities can proceed , with building recreation facilities without carrying the burden of ex- tended financing for the project, and in the case of the CRCA grants, they can now go ahead with needed renovation, repair or maintenance of existing facilities." Since 1975 the Wintario Capital Program has provided $356 million to build and im- prove sport, recreation and fitness facilities throughout the Province. Much of this spen- ding goes directly into local construction with, significant impact on the local economy and employment. • Revisions to the program mean com- munities with approved projects May receive their funds within the period April 1, 1985 to March 31, 1986 rathe than spread over two government fiscal years. This speeding up of grant payments by a full year is the result of negotiations between Ministry staff and clients who were aware of the financial burden caused to clients by bridge financing. CRCA grants prpvide funds to municipalities for repairs, renovations, maintenance and installations in existing recreation facilities such as arenas or pools. In total $11 million has been approved for the funding of such eligible projects. Municipalities that have already applied should now contact regional Ministry offices to state their intent to proceed with their CRCA projects. "I am delighted that because of the positive response I received from recreation groups and with the support of my col- leagues olleagues in Cabinet, we were able to make these changes quickly,"said Mr. Bennett. "Now many more Ontario communities will be able to proceed with construction and with the preservation of their existing in- vestment in community recreation struc- tures." The changes to the two Ministry of Tourism and Recreation grant programs take effect immediately. Page 14--CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1985 Sports From the stands CHSS fares well at track By Binns Nlarejko All teams will be weary at the conclusion of the NHL semi-finals. Players have suf- fered injuries, games have gone into over- time and the goalies have been tested under all circumstances. But the most enjoyable night of hockey ac- tion for me was last Sunday when both underdogs, Quebec Nordiques and Chicago Black Hawks, evened their series at two games apiece. Although I think the final will see the Ed- monton Oilers play the Philadelphia Flyers, I like to see them earn the right to be in the finals, not to mention the fact that I'm neither an Oiler or Flyers fan. No one thought the Black Hawks stood a chance against the Oilers, and I must admit that I was one of these people. The Black Hawks had a fairly good season, but the Oilers had gained experience from last year's playoffs and seemed unbeatable. But, one thing that I didn't count on was Chicago being able to control The Great. Gretzky. However, most of my interest is in the Nordique-Flyer series. Both teams have pulled upsets this season and the outcome is unpredictable. My heart is with the Nordiques, my head with the Flyers. Quebec has more than earn- ed the right to play in the semi-finals and it would be great if they could make it to the finals. The reason for my wanting the Nordi- ques to defeat the Flyers goes back to the quarter. final series. Their series against Montreal, both this year and last year, was one of the toughest this sport's fan has witnessed in a long time. And if it had been Montreal that won, I would be cheering them on. The difference in Sunday's game was goaltending. Young Mario Gosselin was outstanding while at the other end of the ice, Lindbergh was not playing to his full poten- tial. Lindbergh shouldn't take all the blame for the loss, his defence and forwards weren't playing at peak levels either. But the bottom line is the Flyers lost (breaking their 20 game winning streak on home ice) and now have to win in Quebec territory. The outcome of the semi-final series should provide a good battle for the Stanley Cup during the finals. I have a feeling the Oilers will take it, but they have to get by the Black Hawks first. Fitness Week There will be fire sirens, police sirens and possibly an ambulance siren to lead Clin- ton's Fun Run on May 27. The Run is only one of many events planned to celebrate the Second Annual Clinton Fitness Week. Clinton Recreation Director Kevin Duguay has planned activities to be held from May 25 -May 29. These dates also mark the Third Annual National Physical Activity Week throughout Canada with the entire country being encour tged to take part in a fitness activity. As an added bonus for participating in many of the activities, certificates, buttons and stickers will be handed out. So dust off your jogging shoes, roller skates and pump up those bicycle tires in preparation for an active week. Men's fastball underway. The five team men's fastball league is lin full swing.

No elbow test Dipping a sensitive elbow into baby's tepid bath water to "guesstimate" the temperature may work well for mothers - but Ontario's fisheries biologists do not recommend it for lakes and rivers. Instead, they endorse a scientific water testing kit, similar to onepresented to Owen Sound district biologist Steve Kerr by Port Elgin's Iake Huron Fishing Club. A far cry from elbow dunking, the kit determines the suitablility of area streams, rivers and lakes for fish habitat/ by ac- curately indicating minor changes in water quality. The kit was given to the ministry in ap- preciation for its help to the club with pro- jects to improve local fish habitat. 1
