May change sign The South Iluron rec centre's facilities committee will be in- vestigating changes to the activities sign presently located at the corner of Main and Victoria Sl. after learn- ing this week that it is in need of repair. - "We are spending too much time and. money on ether sign," facilities manager Cam Stewardson noted in his written report to the board. in- dicating that moisture was getting in and burning out the fixtures. Repair costs recently have totall- ed between $1.500 and $1,1300 he noted. adding that with the new buildings at the corner, the sign is not - as noticeable as in the past. Phyllis Joon s ested that on- ly a directional sign may be needed and not one that lists upcoming events. This would eliminate the work of the staff in changing the sign weekly. ' "That's a helluva good idea,' Stewardson responded. He also reported that there were moisture- problems along the north wall of the rec centre and it would be necessary to brush back the stone of the roof and lift the flashing to deter- mine the cause of the problem. The facilities committee will also . review the plan to hire a professional cleaner to undertake work at the rec centre to establish what should be done to keep the premises clean and how long staff should spend on the work. Stewardson advised that he was having a hard time finding anyone ' willing to undertake the work at the suggested fee of $;►.50 per hour set by the board. The lowest price suggested - to him by anyone prepared to do the work is $10. Plans are underway to paint the in- terior of the auditorium and the facili- ty will probably be closed for a period of time to facilitate that project. Slewardson explained that all the tables, chairs and stage had to be moved to gel at the walls. Sugar and Spice Continued from page 2 of the display case awaiting customer pick-up. Someone forgot to turn down the awning that morning, and the pro- bing rays of the warm sun melted all the rear ends. There was no time to make replacements. Regular clients still teate her about the "bumless bunnies". That was jhe only time the pro- pietors of Sugar and Spice broke their two iron -clad rules: no seconds, and no sales. Only flawless, first -quality chocolates are sold, and the candy is Always ticketed at the regular price. Three of the best sellers are almond crunch, chocolate truffles and mint smoothies. Although Erma Bombeck once suggested that chocolates should be applied directly to the hips, savor- ing each delicious calorie first is much more fun. The Seldons have more plans for the future. They have bought a ntttchine which will enable them to make their own hard candy. They also envision eventual relocation of the chocolate factory and a third retail outlet somewhere along Highway 4. The Seldons know all about the sweet smell of success. And the hard work that made it possible. "We love what we do. We have tried to give Exeter something unique," Cherie said. That they' have done. 1 SIGN UP FOR SOFTBALL David Crichton and Bronwyn an. Stephanie Pearson sign up for minor soft- ball in Exeter with officials Lois Webster and Joyce Morgan.
