Scott Hilgendorff photo Cents work deal with arena By Scott Hllgondorff Expositor Editor The Centenaires have worked out a deal with the Seaforth and District Community Centres that will see the Junior D team on the ice this season. "It gives us a little more time for survival," said general manager Dave Parsons. The team is faced with a $15,000 debt, almost half of which was owed to the arena for ice time last season after making less than $5,000 from fans attending home games. "We need them here but we need to have them paying," said Huron East's facilities and recreation manager, Soo TEAM, Pogo 2 Drivers flee as unsafe trucks stopped same problems. a local garage and taken off the road The officer also found there were as unsafe. no log books, no licence plates on the The drivers, including a 54 -year - vehicles, no change of registration old man and 16 -year-old youth from and no inspection stickers.

Foundation member Gladys Van Egmond says 31 gallons of paint are going to be needed to redecorate the walls of most of the house, which peeled after rain absorbed through the porous brick of the house last summer. "I hate to make a quotation because we don't know how much the labour will cost yet to paint the house," she says. Foundation chair Vivian Newnham says 100 letters have been sent out to local businesses and the general public, asking for financial help. "It's a letter we were going to send out before last Christmas but we're all volunteers and it didn't get done," she says. Assistant curator and summer student Kyle Rea says two rooms in particular on the south side of the house facing Centre Street in Egmondville were damaged. "Most of the plaster is intact but the entire interior needs to be repainted in historic colours," he says. The brickwork above the windows was treated with silicone in early spring to prevent more rain from getting in, says Rea. Van Egmond says the foundation spent $6,000 this spring to repoint the brick work and fix the outside of the house. "It was a major job. If we hadn't fixed the outside there wouldn't be much sense in fixing the inside when the dampness could still come through," she says. She says "major work" remains to be done inside the house. Almost the entire house, including three downstairs rooms, especially the parlour, two hallways and four upstairs rooms need to be repainted. In the "Madam's Soo FOUNDATION, Page 2 Paying a toll...
