T -A photo Chains on exit doors removed at rec centre Chains on the exit doors at the South Huron rec center have been removed. Facilities manager Cam Steward - son advised the board at their regular session, Tuesday, that the action had been taken following a communica- tion from Fire Chief Gary Middleton. Middleton said he had received complaints about the exit doors being chained shut at a recent event stag- ed by the local soccer group. Two fire department members at that event, Bob. Forrest and Peter =McFalls; indicated they could -not -find ---- any rec centre employee with a key to open and remove the chains from the exit when they discovered the situation. "Evacuation of the recreation cen- tre will be ordered by this department in the future, if further complaints in this matter are not corrected and is brought to bur attention when a funs- . ion is in progress," Middleton advised. Middleton, who indicated that previous complaints had been receiv- ed over the same matter, noted that it could eventually create a major problem to life and safety when the rec centre is open to the public. Stewardson said the chains have now been removed entirely and staff members will have to check all doors before leaving the building at the con- clusion of the final shift. There was no comment on the mat- ter from board Members, who ap- peared satisfied that the necessary action had been taken. At Tuesday's session, the board learned that council had finally ap- proved the request to have another full-time member added to the rec centre staff. The position will be advertised. Stewardson advised that rec facilities in three locations had The South Huron Rec Centre is now offering to businesses �r other in- terested parties, adver- tising space in the arena complex.

Damage of $150 was caused to the fence at the Legion ball diamond in the north-east Section of the com- munity park; a floor mat valued at $300 had been taken from the rec cen- tre; and "quite a bit" of damage was done to the roof and electrical box at the wading pool building in Victoria Park. None of the three will be covered by insurance as the deductible for each incident is $1;000. Rec director Lynne Farquhar ad- vised that registations for the fall pro- grams indicate most programs have gone over very well. Only one class has been cancelled due to a lack of registrants, although one other may have to be dropped. Referring to recent comments from council members regarding the stipends paid to instructors, she noted that at a recent Lake Huron zone meeting it was indicated that the rate of pay in the various communities represented ranged from $15 to $20 per hour. "We were paying ours $17 before I started four years ago and we are right in the middle of most com- munities," she said in her report, ad- ding tht she considered the $17 to be "a fair and reasonable hourly rate". A letter was received from the Ex- eter Minor Softball Association noting that the group was in some financial difficulty and unable to pay $96 of the past season's bill to the board.

Planning director Dr. Gary David- son noted the individual department reports presented at county council have a qualifying statement, "It is recommended that all other matters contained in the minutes of the meeting be hereby confirmed by council". Davidson indicated that statement ratified the proposal, although it wasn't actually brought before council. Reeve Mickle cries foul when the town, which through its municipal levy, helps to pay for the planning department to go against it in an OMB hearing. The way Reeve Mickle sees it, Exeter pays twice. Davidson said conflict between two municipalities or a municipality and the county is not uncommon. "That's the nature of planning, it in- volves conflicts. But the county has never taken the position of funding member municipalities," said the planning director. Davidson also -said the town had , been consulted properly noting the reeve has served on the planning committee. The director added that he could report the cost or preparing for the OMB hearing at a later date. It was a 26 to 5 recorded vote which saw the Exeter request for $8,000 turned down. Exeter now awaits a let- ter from county council with its ques- tions answered in print. Those in favor of Exeter's request are: Exeter Deputy Reeve Lossy Fuller, Bayfield Reeve Dave Johnston, Exeter Reeve Mickle, and Goderich Reeve Harry Worsell with two votes. Those against are: West Wawanosh nighan, Wingham Reeve Joe Kerr. Hensall Reeve Harry Klungel, Brussels Reeve Cal Krauter, Turn - berry Reeve Brian McBurney, Usborne Reeve Gerry Prout, Howick Reeve Jack Stafford, Stanley Reeve Paul Steckle, Goderich Township Reeve Grant Stirling, East Wawanosh Reeve Neil Vincent, Stephen Reeve Alan Walper, Stephen Deputy Reeve Ralph Weber, and Hay Reeve Lionel Wilder. Secretary -treasurer Bob Drouillard explained that despite two fund rais- ing events and higher fees charged, the group ran into some unexpected expenditures at the end of the season. He asked that the remaining $95 ow- ed be held until the start .of next season, indicating that registration fees will have to be raised "significantly" to cover the deficit and the new season. Farquhar noted that the softball group may get some funds for their participation -in Sportsfest-and- that=- - will enable them to pay off the bill to the board. If that is not the case, board members appeared agreeable to the idea of holding the account until the start of the new season. Thirteen groups using the board's facilities have indicated they want to be covered under the blanket liabili- ty insurance policy, while six others have their own insurance. The board has decreed that all groups have to either join the blanket policy or have their own insurance for coverage of $1,000,000.
