Roller skating during the summer months is probably here to stay, according to Recreation Co-ordinator Ron Marchildon. The Penetanguishene arena was the site of the first night of roller skating last Friday, and according to Mr. Marchildon, it 'went over really well". About 200 people took to wheels at the arena for the first night. Starting yesterday, the arena will be open for skating on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday night, with Sunday night reserved for adults. Roller skating can provide an inexpensive \ night of fun and exercise, since admission is only $1 for children and $1.50 for adults. That price includes skates. Presently 200 is the maximum number of skaters possible at the arena, since there are only 200 pairs of skates. Summer activities such as roller skating and concerts are another benefit of having an arena floor, according to Mr. Marchildon. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday night the arena is open for public skating from 7:30 p.m. til 9:30 p.m. The same hours on Sunday reserved for Refreshments such as pop and chips are presently available at the arena, Marchildon hopes to be serving hot dogs and other light meals sometime in the near adult skating. and Mr. scoring a run in the first inning, one in the second and four in the third.

Lercar managed one run in the opening inning, but Islanders soon took the game away with four runs in the second inning and another in the third.
