V Assuming their places on the Board for the first time Were Stephen representative Wayne Ratz and Exeter representatives Gerry Parsons, Wayne Pearce. Ratz said it was a pleasure to serve on the Board and said he would try to fill the shoes of the first Stephen representative to the board Don Finkbeiner. Pearce said he was pleased to be asked to serve on the Board while Parsons noted the Board will be facing many challenges in the upcoming months. “We have a great team here,” he added. Taking his turn as chairman of the board was Usborne representative Howard Pym who said he would like to see the heaters in the arena improved along with work being done on the new ballfield. The discussion then turned to a preliminary budget for the year which rec ad ministrator Kirk Armstrong had prepared. Referring to the 1978 Armstrong said the area of insurance was one place where the budget was out. He said they had budgetted $7,000 a figure which had been provided by the local insurance firm of Gaiser- Kneale while the amount spent came to almost $10,000. When asked why Frank Cowan was the only in surance company which the town did business with, Mayor Derry Boyle replied that municipal insurance was a specilized field and that an experiment in ten dering the insurance con ducted by the county a few years ago did not work out. Armstrong told he hopes to keep 1979 expenditures for hydro and water down to around $16,000 with the centre to experiment with the removal of light bulbs and using lights of a lower brightness in certain areas. Last year, the centre consummed $17,603.41 worth of electricity and water. When Parsons asked if official from Union Gas Ontario Hydro could brought in to see if the centre was energy efficient, Armstrong said PUC manager Hugh Davis had said there was very little which could be done to save energy since the refrigeration compressors used up most of the energy. Armstrong told f that the wading Victoria Park he that that service Times-Advocate, January 31, 1979 TRY SKATING TESTS — Many members of the Exeter figure skating club tried CFSA tests Monday night.

The mayor disagreed philosophy saying recreation was similar to garbage collection and policing, which derived no revenue. One area that was causing the mayor some em- barassment was in the amount which the town would have to pick up this year from the rec centre. Boyle said he had been telling his council colleagues the amount was $47,000 while the actual figure was closer to $70,000. The $47,000 figure represented only the operating deficit and did not include the capital deficit, Armstrong told Boyle. The idea of an area recreation conference surfaced once again with Armstrong asking the Board what they wanted to do. The rec director explained the purpose of the con ference would be to invite the local councils, clerk treasurers and recreation committees to the rec centre and discuss areas of mutual interest. Boyle thought the idea of a conference was unnecessary and that Armstrong should send a letter to rec com mittees of the surrounding townships and advising them availability of his Bob Down and explained to Boyle the conference would be for information purposes only. “The more we work together, the better it will be,” MacLean said. Upon hearing this, Boyle agreed with the idea of the conference saying he was opposed to the formation of an intermediate ball club in Exeter with teams already existing in Crediton and Dashwood. A tentative date of February 21 was set with the villages of Hensall and Zurich the townships of Usborne, Stephen and Hay, and the town of Exeter being invited. operated this summer “without any controversy”. He said that the reaction from the public indicated to him a wading pool was wanted. The swimming pool en joyed a successful year of operation but it was doutful if any more revenue could be secured from the lessons, He said the hot summer helped the public swimming revenues. Victoria Park should see an increased usage if a plan submitted to Armstrong is carried out. He said the Kinettes were prepared to build and maintain slides in the park. Boyle asked if the proposal should not go before the parks committee of council. Boyle told the Board he had received a request from Gib Dow who owns property adjacent to the rec centre and community park asking that a fence be located along the north boundary of the park. While the board agreed the idea of a fence surrounding the park was a good idea there was concern expressed about the cost of a fence. According to Boyle the town has no definite amount which it will spend on recreation in the town. In reply to a query from Parsons, Boyle said the town has never set any figure but they have agreed to pickup the expenses as they were incurred. Boyle said the town is presently spending between $65,000-$70,000 per year on recreation in the town. Boyle said he had problems with Reeve Si Simmons and Deputy-reeve Don MacGregor who Boyle said believe recreation- should be operated on a an or be the Board ; pool in MARY JANE MOUSSEAU In Huronview Home, Clin ton, on Tuesday.

All of McGillivray Township east of the Ausable River now is being considered for extension of pipeline water, clerk William Amos said. Acting on the advice of the Ontario Environment Ministry, township officials will assess the interest of property owners in the southeast section as well as those in the northeast. A questionnaire is being cir culated to owners of proper ties on Concession 1, 2, 3, 4 and 9. A meeting last Tuesday night for ratepayers in the northeast sector drew about 25 persons, Mr. Amos said. “They were quite pleased about the possibility of get ting some grant money from the ministry”, he said. A third public meeting for owners in the.„tsoutheast sec tor now is scheduled for 8:30 p.m., January 31st in the McGillivray Township meeting room. “It is our hope that the questionnaires can be completed by the time of the meeting”, Mr. Amos said. A very rough estimate of the cost of servicing the en tire east end of the township is $800,000. the clerk speculated. Cost to in dividual properties would depend on the number of participating owners. “It’s a matter of neighbours selling their neighbours”. Mr. Amos said. Environment ministry grants would be available to cover a certain proportion of the cost to each owner. Par ticipation in the piped water system is not mandatory and non-participants will not be levied for the pipeline passing their properties. However, there is a penal ty for joining the system after the initial arrange ment. That penalty is now an extra 20.per cent of the estimated current cost. ?but iMcGillivrav Council is con sidering a raise to at least 30 per cent. None of the area east of the Ausable River has been approved for pipeline water by the Ministry of Environ ment. Indications of water quality and quantity and in terest in pipeline water found in the questionnaires will be used in an applica- ‘ tion for approval to the ministry. Another part of the township along Concessions 6 and 7 has already been given ministry approval, Mr. Amos said. All that remained was getting ap proval of a substantial number of property areas at a January 8th meeting. Some of those who attend ed were asked to canvass their neighbours. Cost of ex tending the existing pipeline for another two miles is es timated at $37,000. draperies done with care from measurement, making, to installation. the latest fabrics; a fine selection; satins, sheers velvets, weaves, gorgeous prints, etc. at home consultation (no charge) SAVE 15% on any ordered-in drapery / bedspread fabric Offer extended until Sat., Feb. 10 \ • Hi WMF ■' J < ’If /..■.< '’’■Jk'-A' Visit or call us for decorating suggestions for your walls, floors and windows.
