Board outlines structure for recreation and
The South Huron rec
centreboard of management
have come up with a working
paper to outline their
structure and relationship
with the area councils.
The information was
presented to Exeter council
last week. but was held in
abeyance to give members.
more time to consider the
proposals. It is the un-
derstanding of the board,
that if Exeter council ap-
proves the proposal, the
township councils will
support Exeter's position
and the ministry of culture
and recreation will endorse
the scheme approved by all
three councils, Exeter,
Usborne and Stephen.
In the preamble, the report
notes that the board was
.originally conceived as , a
means whereby the southern
part of the county would
jointly operate a facility
which was built by the
residents of the area which
has come to serve very
significantly, the people of
South Huron.
"The board was to be a
focus for both the centre and
recreation, but un-
derstandably. the townships
have established their own
recreation committees and
programs and have virtually
no need for the services
provided by the board."
-Exeter however, is in a
unique position in that the
Centre's employees and
programs are an integral
part of the Town's
recreational needs, and
although the Town provides
many programs for the
residents of the Townships,
the Townships see recreation
as the responsibility of each
community, and therefore,
have no desire to become
involved with recreation, as
such in Exeter.
"With this dilemma
clearly understood, it is now
appropriate to state that the
Board does not believe it
desirable or even possible
that the Recreation
Administrator should be
responsible to two groups,
the Board and the
Recreation Committee;
however, he will be
responsible for all em-
ployees and activities held at
the Centre and will ad-
minister Exeter's recreation
programs. To solve the
problem, it would seem
reasonable that some
members of the Board would
also serve as (or the nucleus
for) the Exeter Recreation
Committee."
"To give the area
representatives on the Board
a meaningful voice in the
operations of the Centre and
to provide for possible future
changes in the philosophies
and needs of Usborne and
Stephen, it is recommended
that the Exeter Recreation
Committee be a sub-
committee of the South
Huron Recreation Board of
Management. Exeten
Council would therefore
have the right to expect
regular reports from the
Recreation Committee as
well as the Board. The
Townships should expect
regular reports from the
Board.
"The duties of the sub-
committee responsible for
programs are outlined in this
report, but there are also
obligations that a recreation
committee should have to
the town."
"As an initial step, the
Exeter appointees to the
board should act as the
recreation committee and
should be empowered to add
lone representative from
every sport to form the
Exeter Athletic Council. The
committee, itself, should
fulfill those tasks outlined in
this manual, vis a vis the
Board, but the Council
should immediately
establish for itself a con-
stitution and a set of by-
laws."
"This new body will be the
focus for virtually all ac-
tivities involving athletics in
the town and should,
therefore, be prepared to
work with the schools,
special interest groups and
other organizations to plan
schedules, use of the grounds

Work on Tuckersmith's
secondary plan for the
township got underway Mon-
day under the direction of
Lousie Smyth• who is work-
ing in the Huron County
Planning Department.Miss
Smyth and George Penfold
from the Planning Depart-
ment attended the council
session.
Mr. Penfold outlined steps
to be taken and the prepara-
tion and background
necessary to get it started.
He said public workshops
will be held for the residents
of the township where they
can learn what a plan will
mean for them and when
they can ask questions. He
said many people usually at-
tend the workships as an op-
portunity to discuss the
issues. A zoning bylaw will
be needed to implement the
final plan.
Council passed a motion
requesting Huron County
Planning Department to
authorize the start of the
work which will take about
two years to complete.
A tour of township roads
will he held Friday to ac-
quaint members of council
with the condition of the
roads and bridges and to
help them make decisions on
work to be done this year
and in the future.
Council passed a bylaw for
the hiring of a dog control of-
ficer - Harvey Hammond. at
a retainer fee of 850 per
month plus other necessary
expenses as outlined in the
bylaw
Council passed its animal
control bylaw. not covering
pets such as dogs and cats.

or two beef steers, or one
beef cow and calf, or one
dairy cow and calf, or one
florae andone pony with colt;
or three goats and kids, or
three sheep and lambs, or
two pigs.
Council worked hard and
long in an attempt not to
penalize any farm owner in a
built-up area. Frank
Reynolds. a farmer in Har-
purhey. attended the council
session concerned about
restrictions on his 90 -acre
farm where he has farmed
for the past 46 years.
Reeve Robert Bell assured
Mr. Reynolds that a restric-
tive bylaw was necessary to
prevent a beef feed lot
operation or a large hog
operation being set up in
future years on farms
similar to his in Harpurhey,
Egmondville and other
hamlets in the township.
Council passed a fence
bylaw which set out the
regulations governing line
fences between properties,
and appointed three fence
viewers in case of disputes.

"By necessity, the council
will have to work closely
with the board and the ad-
ministrator, and therefore,
the Exeter recreation
committee should be the
permanent liaison with the
board.
1. The board structure:

pass a common by-law
establishing i) the Board of
Management as an entity to
administer the South Huron
Recreation Centre and ii) the
agreement of co-operation
among the three com-
munities. tThe financial
commitments should be left
to voluntary contributions,
but the Townships should
appreciate the past burden
faced by the Exeter tax-
payers in supporting the
Centre). Each Council
should also establish the
length of term of its ap-
pointees to the Board. The
following system should be
used for appointments:
Stephen - 1 representative
appointed for the life of the
Council.
Usborne - 2 represen-
tatives appointed for
alternate 2 year terms;
Exeter - 5 representatives -
2 from Council; 3 for

Administrator (and perhaps
other employees) to en-
