The move to expand sales to other outlets was one of the Liberal plat- forms in the last provincial election, but in the face of mounting criticism, they've suggested municipalities rule on the issue. Ironically, it was staunch Liberal supporter Bill Mickle who broached the subject at Tuesday's session, sug- gesting it was "one of the most brilliant" cop-outs he had ever seen. "It shows a real level of fortitude," he continued, saving the provincial government should not put municipalities in a position where their decision (either way) could be challenged in the courts. Mickle said the Ontario Liberals were the people making the proposal and they should stand up and show their' colors and not pass the buck. Minutes later, Councillor Morley Says adding staff salaries would kill rec programs A suggestion that adult recreation programs should be self sustaining, even to the point of including staff wages, would "kill all sorts of pro- grams" rec director Lynne Farquhar opinioned at Thursday's session of the South Huron rec centre board. She made the comment after Usborne representative Pat Down said there was a push on from people in her township to have adult rec pro- grams pay their own way. "A lot of people are complaining about subsidizing recreation," she commented. Farquhar said that the 10 to 15 pro- grams operated for adults by the rec board would have to pick up about $30,000 as represented by her salary and half of the salary of secretary Joanne Fields. The rec director said she didn't think it would be feasible to cost the salaries against the programs, noting that the fees for such programs had to be set in competition with other centres. She argued that if people could get a program for $30 in one centre, they wouldn't pay twice that for a program at another centre: Down replied that people paid the Ball diamonds Continued from front page give it (service) up." She also ques- tioned the liability aspects if a player is injured by stepping in a hole. Pat Down suggested a youth be hired to do the work with the cost be- ing split between the teams and the rec board, but Stewardson said that would be giving more than at present. A motion was presented by Kathy Whiteford and Johnson that the full service of dragging and liming the diamonds be reinstated, but Dorothy Chapman argued the matter should go to the facilities committee for fur- ther study as to the costs involved. • An amendment, although it was described as "repugnant" to the mo- tion by meeting observer Mayor Bruce Shaw, was approved calling on the staff to continue to float the diamonds with the teams being responsible for marking the lines with lime. Stewardson said that while the let- ters indicated the teams couldn't float the diamonds, they undertake that task when they have to. "If people really wanted to do it, they could," bown added, informing fellow member% she had often under- taken the Task before games in which she was involved. sEV187 ss YRS. 2 for 1 Salad Sale May 24 to June 1 Offer expires June 1, 1986 IT'S OUR TASTE THAT MAKES US FAMOUS f entire cost for other types of recrea- tion programs such as bowling and curling. She also noted that some parents who provide such things as piano lessons for their children are of the opinion that parents who enrol their youngsters in recreation programs shouldn't be subsidized. "Recreation will only be for rich people," the rec director suggested if people have that attitude about youth programs. Ken Oke joined the discussion to suggest that what adults pay for the use of recreation facilities, such as ball diamonds, is usually less than they spend on pursuits following the game. He said people appear to have been educated that it is their god -given right to get recreation cheap. When it was noted that the heads of council of the three municipalities in- volved in the rec board have been meeting to consider financing, Dorothy Chapman commented that it was also up to the rec board to decide the direction recreation would take in the area. There was some confusion over the status of some municipalities regar- ding the periodic,meetings being held in the area to discuss recreation. Down said it "looked bad" that no one from Exeter had attended one of the recent area meetings. Board chairman Jim Workman said he had received notice of the meeting only one day prior, while Stephen Reeve Tom Tomes question- ed whether Exeter and Stephen were supposed to be involved in the session as the area had been broken down in- to a south and north group. A minister was talking to the young members of the Sunday -school class about things money can't buy. "It can't buy laughter," he told them, "and it can't buy love." Driving his point home, he said: "What would you do if I offered you $1000 not to love your mother and father?" After a few moments of silence, a small voice queried: "How much would you give me not to love my big sister?" Quoted by Jana o.., Farquhar said the local rec staff had not been invited to the meeting and said there appeared to be some confusion as to "who was to go to what". It was decided that the board should seek some clarification on the situation. Facilities manager Cam Steward - son noted that the area meetings were for information sharing and no deci- sions could be made unless entire boards or councils attended to make those decisions. He said that at one session, an ice rental rate had been established, but it was found later that some of the boards wouldn't approve it after it went back to them. Down noted that comparing costs between various boards is difficult because all use various systems. Hall took up the issue and said a let- ter should be sent to Premier David Peterson voicing the opinions of coun- cil in not wanting the matter dumped on municipalities. Only Ben Hoogenboom argued against that proposal, saying he was in fabor of free enterprise par- ticipating. in the sale of alcoholic beverages. He said he was not in favor of having liquor in every corner store, but would be receptive to the idea of having it for sale in major grocery outlets. However, his argument was noted as being contradictory by Mayor Bruce Shaw and then Hall emphasiz- ed that he was only suggesting the decision should be made by the pro- vincial authorities and not left to each municipality. After the letter to the Premier was approved, with a copy to be sent to MPP Jack Riddell, Hoogenboom commented that he was not a drinker himself, adding that he sometimes goes weeks without a drink. His comments drew some friendly chiding from other members and Councillor Gaylan Josephson prompt- ly refilled Hoogenboom's water glass.
