Happy Birthday was sung to those celebrating September birth- Improving Memorial Hall seating arrangements to allow better access for wheelchairs was given consid- eration by the board after a meeting with DIAMONDS on Aug. 13. The DIAMONDS organization (a support group for the physically challenged) had requested a meet- ing with the board regarding the removal of some seats from the hall to allow better wheelchair location. The board was represented by Festival General Manager Ray Salverda at the meeting. The Memorial Hall board was given a copy of the report by board member Don McCaffrey. The report detailed the advan- tages and disadvantages of the pro- posed removal of seats B9, B10 and B19. The festival could lose $4,000 to $6,000 per year from those seats, name plates from donors would have to be relocated, accessibility to row B could be impeded and seats C9 and C19 would have to be listed as poor sight line, the report stated. The advantages of the plan would allow for better access to row A and the front cross aisle and there may be the possibility of installing a special removable seat when wheelchairs were not using the space. days: Betty Nethery, Edgar Howatt, Ruby Pattison, and Al Coddington. The anniversaries were Bill and Isabelle Craig, Gene and Alvin Snell, Jim and Effie McCall and Edgar and Ferne Howatt. The usual reports were presented. A letter from Huronlea was read requesting the seniors to host a birthday party for the residents on Dec. 7. The board decided at the Sept. 27 meeting to recommend to Blyth council the removal of the three additional seats to create wheelchair spaces. Several maintenance issues were also raised. Memorial Hall recently had the sprinkler system repaired and improved. There was $1,880 paid towards the repairs which were not reimbursed by the insurance com- pany. At the time of the accident, the insurance company said it would pay the $500 to return the piping to its original state and the village would pay the extra cost of drop- ping the pipe below the ceiling in the amount of $380. The additional $1,000 was the deductible. The insurance cheque received did not include the $500 and a let- ter was sent to the company regard- ing this matter. It was suggested by board mem- bers that there were several repair projects that needed to be done around the hall. A list will be compiled and local service groups approached about contributing to the project. It was moved by Mr. Salverda that the hall board look into pur- Continued on page 19 The Fall Rally will be held in Londesboro Hall on Oct. 20. Registration is at 11:30 and the fee is $3.
