Clerk/Ad% ia istrator Jim Clocker told last week's meeting that Bell originally indicated an upgrade was in order for 1996. At d meeting Iasi .month, council directed • him to see -where it now stands. _ . The- 'clerk said telephone conversations he has had with aBell .vice-president since then seem -to indicate the improvements are no longer in the . works, and Crocker wondered out loud "when, or if,it will ever get back in." The Bell Official estimated an upgrade wouldcost the com- pany about $900,000 and they just don't have the funds. • A switching upgrade would • allow Seaforth to be provided with services, such. as- "call waiting", which are now stan- dard el-seri/here and available as close as Tuckersmith - Township, "It's the same story we got frons the banks when cash machines came along," Crocker said. "But now they arc successful here." Deputy -Reeve Bill Teall said the Bell decision "doesn't seem equitable." * * * The town's accumulated net deficit was 53,031 more than budgeted for in 1995 according to the preliminary statement of revenues and expenditures presented to Sealiordt Council Tuesday -by Administrator Jim Crocker. The statement is' subject to further review and the ton's final audit. It shows actual expenditures- of .52,480,236 in 1995. The Budgeted figure was 52,475,755. * * * Seaforth Council has ap- proved an application by the Scaforth Volunteer Firefighters to sell _break -open tickets as a Broomball roundup Grads. hand Dumpers second -straight loss fundraiser at the Commercial Hotel on Main Street. The application noted the non-profit voluntders would use the 'proceeds to promote its objectives and benefit the entire community. * * * Two boards responded with mixed reaction to last month's cost-saving suggestion by Seaford) Council that their honorariums be discontinued at an estimated total savings of. S2,550. • Scalerttu's Local Architectural - Conservation Advisory Coin - mince agreed "alter con- siderable discussion" last month "it would -continue to function without 'honorariums." Members felt strongly that their reasons lir serving on LACAC were not based on the honorarium they received," minutes note. . The .Recreation and Parks Committee wants to cut the number of times it sleets from 11 a year to quarterly, but • maintain some kind of honorarium. Minutes of hast mouth's roc board meeting note the mem- bers felt it "is an important committee, and not like other sub -committees • of Coun- cil...(and) involved with. many major projects throughout the year." The conuniucc telt the annual honorarium, currently S22.50 per meeting, was an "ince- ntivc," Recreation Director Marty Bedard reported to last week's council meeting. LACAC minutes note mem- bers "would like council to recognize their contributions in some small manner, since they give of their own free. time and serve an itnportant function." The committee said without even a "thank -you" to volun- lecrs of all. such groups, coun- cil's workload would increase dramatically or "ser ' •es provided by volunteer r. ganizalions would cease lircly." LACAC"s Operating budget this year indicates actual 1995 honorariums of S1,120. FEB: 14 (MMES POLAR -ICE (1 PARR 1 Polar Ice goalie Joanne Innes • was superb, in net • making lots- of nifty saves.

Goderich squash court exceeds budget The new squash court at the Goderich high school ended up S5,338 over budget and the Huron County Board of Education has decided not to cover it. At its Jan. 15 meeting the local board of education agreed the normal practise would be to pay, but in light of budgct pressure from the province it decided to only pay the originally promisedarnount, up to S20,000 to support mechanical and electrical com- ponents anti related construc- tion costs. Which means the high school and municipality must continue with fundraising for the 5154,208 community facility. Sources of funding for the squash court included S25,000 from the GDCI student capital fund, S13,00() from the now defunct Goderich Squash Club, S10,000 from local service clubs and S15,0(X) from the town.
