Clinton News-Record, 1987-10-14, Page 16Page 16—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1987 Sports New penalty box There was some great news passed on at the Clinton Recreation Committee meeting on October 8. In the near future, players from oppos- ing hockey teams who are penalized will no longer have to share the same penalty box. This announcement came during the new business portion of the meeting where Clinton Recreation Director Steve Camp- bell gave notice that the Clinton Raceway will be donating $2,000 towards the project. The new box will be built on the north side of the existing box, and the time keepers area will separate the two boxes. "It was one -.project we didn't think we could afford this year, but thanks to the raceway, we can do it," Mr. Campbell noted. Hockey School" Keeping to the subject of hockey, Dan Colquhoun explained that the financial report from Clinton's hockey school had come back, and the school made $2,989. This figure is $689 higher than the pro- jected return of $2,300. "We had a few complaints, and we discussed a few improvements for next year, but we had more compliments than complaints," Mr. Colquhoun said. He add- ed that next year they will sit down around June and straighten any problems out. .Compressor Floods All the news from the arena wasn't good news, though. Because the arena's new compressor runs faster and hotter, more water is needed to keep it cool. Mr. Colquhoun explained the drains in the room aren't capable of removing this extra water, and thus flooding is taking place. "We know it's not totally plugged because when you turn the machine off, the water goes away," he said. DEIVID EMSLIE The committee passed' a recommenda- tion to install a new drain to alleviate the problem. Because the floor would have to be rip- ped up to check out the old drain, the work of installing a new drain will be both easier and less expensive to the arena. Lobby Stools I'd like to pass on one more bit of good news about the arena before moving on to another area of the meeting. Thanks to a donation from Lorne Tynall, some new stools will adorn the arena lobby. Mr. Tyndall donated $500 to the recrea- tion committee with the stipulation that the money be used specifically to buy new stools. The stools will also be used for the raceway during the racing season. Hawkins Park It.,,yvas also announced at the meeting thai tie archway is in place at Hawkins Park, named after the late Hugh Hawkins. The recently erected archway was built by Clinton Councillor Gord Gerrits. The parks committee, a sub -committee of recreation, will be meeting with Clinton Reeve Bee Cooke to look at future developments for the park. Getting away from the recreation meeting, I'd like to announce that Monday night co-ed volleyball will be beginning soon at St. Joseph's Separate School. If you recall, I was involved with this volleyball last year, and I had a great time. No real volleyball skills are necessary to join. It is generally just a bunch of people getting together to get some exercise and have a few laughs. The rules aren't even strictly adhered to. Only the most blatant fouls are called, and sometimes even those pass by. The games begin at the school at 8:30 on Monday nights, and continue until around 10 or 10:30. The first session will begin on October 26. Everyone is welcome. I'll see you there. CHSS Basketball One last note. The Central Huron Secon- dary School ( CRSS) Junior Girls basket- ball team continued their winning ways last week with two wins. On October 5 they skimped past Mitchell with a 40-38 win. Once again Kathleen Verhoef was the top scorer for the team with 22 points. Nicole Garon was second in line with 13 points. They had a much more decisive win on October 7 when they travelled to Seaforth and beat them 54-18. Kathleen netted 18 points, while Nicole Garon and • Cindy Campschroer both contributed 10. Their schedule gets a bit more difficult this week as they played the undefeated team from Northwestern on October 13. They will travel to Stratford today (Oct. 14) to battle the team from St. Mike's.
