Obituary notices on Page 17 Recreation costs reported at $25,000 Recreation in the town of Exeter for 1977 cost the taxpayers approximately $25,000 it was learned at the monthly meeting of the South Huron Recreation Board of Management. About $11,000 of that amount is due to overex­ penditures on the operational budget of the Rec Centre according to administrator Kirk Arm­ strong. Armstrong said that most of the deficit was ac­ cumulated through ex­ penditures and projected revenues that were a few hundred dollars out. The administrator said reduc­ tions in part-time staff may take place along with a revised fee structure for most of the facilities at the centre. The Exeter Minor Hockey Association was singled out as a factor contributing to the deficit, as the over­ booking of ice took place and the subsequent denial to groups who had requested ice time. Seeking a position on the minor hockey association executive, Armstrong an­ nounced, should alleviate the scheduling problems that took place this year. Consult Cambrian A lengthy debate over the final payment of $160,000 to Northside Construction, the contractors of the facility took place with a decision being made to consult Cambrian Facilities with regards to the final payment on the centre. Jack Underwood, representing the building committee, stated that a cheque for $124,000 should be sent to Northside with the remainder to be paid when the several deficiencies in the building are rectified. “In the opinion of the building committee the building is substantially complete. There are other people who have done their work and are not getting paid,” Underwood stated. Armstrong pointed out that the centre is still awaiting approval on the gas and electrical installations with the panel for the mercury vapour lights heating up almost con­ stantly. Voicing opposition to the payment of the final amount Jerry MacLean said that the situation was no different from a private home-owner discovering problems in a private residence. “He wouldn’t pay,’’ MacLean said. Kim McLean concurred with this saying that “Without those certificates (of approval) it’s ludicrous to pay them anything.” Don Finkbeiner felt that the matter should be at­ tended to quickly in light of possible problems with the insurance coverage on the building. Lions will have dance The board of management made it quite clear that it didn’t want to get into the dance business when a delegation from the Exeter Lions Club apeared at the meeting. The club attended the meeting in order to get an indication about the hall rental fees so that the club could start planning for next year’s new year’s eve dance. Stating that the dance was a “money maker” for the local service club, president Doug Knowles said “We don’t want to get gouged, we’re just after a fair rate.” After considerable discussion, it was agreed tentatively that the rental fee would be $300 for the hall plus 25 percent of the bar receipts under the same conditions which existed for this year’s dance. While the board did not guarantee that the Lions could have the hall for future new year’s dances, it was agreed that the club should send a letter to the board asking that the hall be set aside on a year to year basis for the Lions club at new years. The board would then send a letter to the lions indicating their willingness to let the Lions have the hall. The board turned down a request from the Lions club that the fee for the rental of the hall on the night of the William Riley and Bruce Beemer, both of Huron Park. They collided at the in­ tersection of Algonquin and Columbia Drive. Damage was listed at $625 by Constable Wally Tomasik. The other accident oc­ curred on Sunday at 1:45 a.m., when a snow vehicle driven by Daniel Houston, Komoka, caught fire on Hay concession 8-9 north of High­ way 84. Constable Larry Christiaen investigated and set damage in the fire at $900. During the week, the OPP conducted severa1 snowmbile patrols and this resulted in eight charges being aid under the Snow Vehicle Act. There were also six charges under the Highway Traffic Act and four under the Criminal Code. The local detachment officers are also in­ vestigating four breakins and two incidents of wilful damage at summer homes in Oakwood Park. Library moves from Centralia Huron county librarian Bill Partridge announced this week that the Centralia library will be closed and moved to Huron Park in a trial arrangement to be started in February. The Huron Park branch will be operated in conjunc­ tion with J.A.D. McCurdy school. It will be open to the public on Tuesdays from 3:00 to 8:00 p.m., starting February 7. Partridge noted that the circulation at Centralia — about 45 books per month — made that operation imprac­ tical to continue. Mrs. Marlene Munn will operate the Huron Park branch in the joint effort between the library board and the Huron board of education. The trial period will last for six months and a deci­ sion about the future opera­ tion will be made at that time. Court session times outlined It was announced this week that provincial court will be held in Exeter on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. The Justice of the Peace session will be held on the first and third Tuesdays.

Bob Down echoed the sentiment of board members when he said he felt bad “about charging a fee to the crippled kids,” but it was felt that such a move would set a precedent. The Lions concurred and agreed to pay the usual mid­ week rental charge of $50 for the hall. The board received a letter from Brad Loosley, the professional for the Exeter Figure Skating Club, requesting ice time in August so that he could conduct a summer figure skating school. Armstrong 11 informed board members that the Huron hockey school had already booked most of the ice time available in the day for that same period. It was suggested that a letter be sent to Loosley informing him of the situation and advising the availability of ice time during the evening hours. At the meeting, the board replaced the old slate of officers with Bob Down replacing Bruce Shaw as chairman of the group. Kim McLean and Don Finkbeiner retained their positions of vice-chairman and secretary, respectively. $1 78 1 LB.
