Kathy Leeman questioned if it.would be .feasible to incorporate some kind of gym for teens and young adults to play sports such as volleyball or basketball, and also use the room for teen dances, and other community events. Other suggestions included incor- porating a curling ice surface or swimming pool. Linda Andrew, clerkof Ashfield Township and the committee, cautioned the group that "we must keep our feet on the ground." It's alright to dream about a Cadillac model but don't forget the cost, the facility must pay for itself. It cannot run at a huge on-going deficit Paul Frayne, Ashfield's representative on the committee, urged the group to come up with ideas pertaining to a cultural aspect, which he said is necessary to get the grant. • The local Chamber of Commerce president, Irene Dickie, told the committee that the COC was in favor of Phase II proceeding. She questioned if a tourist information centre could be incorporated in the facility, along with space for a COC office. Mrs. Leeman asked if the jobsOntario grant didn't come through, would it be possible to have the building fall under the heritage program. Mrs. Andrew said she has been told that no more grants are available under that program, Bev Hanson, on behalf of the Point Clarke Old Tyme Fiddlers Association, expressed that group's pleasure with the hospitality extended to them by Lucknow residents and business people, They are very grateful to havea facility to use for their annual event and hope to continue a long and "loving" relationship with this community. Another suggestion was then forthcoming that perhaps a dump station and propane fill -up would be advantageous for this group (they have a lot of campers) and other tourists. The next step for the committee is to meet with Eugene Todd, Ministry of Culture. Tourism and Recreation, and John Currie, Ministry of Municipal Affairs, to review the eligibility of the project verbal- ly, prior to submitting the written application to jobsOntario. The committee would still welcome any immediate suggestions. You may contact chair Barry Johnston (Lions), Dave MacKinnon (Legion), Murray Irvin (Lucknow Craft Festival), Jim Murray (Kinsmen), Paul Frayne (Ashfield), Erlma Haldenby (Kinloss), Lynn Peck (Lucicnow), Ralph - Foster (West Wawanosh) or Linda Andrew, clerk. Ideas must be submitted to the committee by May 5, as the commit- tee will be meeting with ministry representatives an May 10. Net effect is still bad news •from page 1 of setting u� . at least one pilot project in September. I I While the finance committee was prepared for a grant cut, it is not happy with the impact it will tiave on the taxpayer or in the classroom. "The net effect is still bad •news,"1 Manzi said, singling but the cuts to curriculum, school equipment and building maintenance as a concern.' Mann said those budgets have been repeatedly "Shaved" in the past/ three years. "It's going to be a chore finding the $100,000," he said of the/ proposed cut to the $2.2 million buildings operations budget. "If we have regular cuts, you are going to see deterioration 'in equip- ment in the `schools," Martindale agreed. "The kids are being hit 'harder than the (buildings) are," replied trustee Frank Eagleson. He said ' school budgets that were reduced or. flatlined in the past.have now been cut a further 10 per cent.

Mackay agreed the goal. is to come in with lower increase than 2.7 per cent but. he warned it's "only, theoretical" that the board can set a 0 per cent increase. ' Doing so/ would take another $750,000 in cuts, a move Mackay said would. /be "very .hard' to achieve when 79 per cent of the Board's costs are tied up in salaries and benefits. One solution to' the funding crunch may come from increased revenue. • The committee briefly discussed renting out the Outdoor . Education Centre near Wiarton to nature groups on weekends and through,the summer. It also talked about getting business to pick up some of the tab for. education. "We need more aggressive private and corporate fund raising for specificojects and day to day operations," / said trustee David Inglis.
