Tie was then assigned the job of
discusging the matter with local hard-
ball enthusiast Brad Gregus.
Workman then moved on to relay
complaints about the dangers involv-
ed in the playground area being too
close to the softball diamond.
Youngsters are endangered from
foul balls hit during games and from
wild throws by players warming up ,
prior to contests.
It was agreed that letters should be
sent to the teams to advise them of the
problem and asking that their warm-
ups be staged so that overthrows do
not end up in the playground area.
An additional netting may also be
added to the screen to alleviate some
of the current problems.
The chairman told the board that a
donation of $1,000had been made by
the Exeter Optimists to the washroom
project at the agricultural building
and the Exeter Lioness have con-
tributed $500.
Construction on the project is well
underway.

Costs differ to repair Rec Centre roof
There's a problem with moisture at
the South Huron rec centre, but
there's a wide difference in the cost
outlined by two firms on how to rec-
tify the problem.
Facilities manager Cam Steward -
son attended Tuesday's session of
town council along with board chair-
man Jim Workman with a cost
analysis of some of the work required.
Howover, his report opened up
-more questions than it answered as
the two firms had submitted
estimates on work required. They had
been asked to determine how to rec-
" tify the problem and their replies dif-
fered greatly in the type of work to be
undertaken and the cost involved.
Stewardson admitted there had
always been a problem in knowing
how to rectify the situation, after
Mayor Bruce Shaw said he couldn't
understand the estimates as there
was a difference of some $12,000.
After' some debate, Reeve Bill
Mickle said it appeared that an
engineer's report was required and he
suggested it be undertaken while the
facility is being studied to meet a re-
quirement on the structural stability
for the ministry of labor.
Workman said that would be a good
idea and it was agreed to have the

He listed them as being -building
. repairs that we feet are necessary to
bring the building up to par."
Ile said part of the problem stemm-
ed from the fact maintenance in the
past was cut in an effort to meet
. budget restraints.
Board member Dorothy Chapman
told fellow council members that the
building and cost of maintenance
hould not be included in the recrea-
tion budget. noting that it was always -
the first thing cut.
She said the police station was not
part of thespolice budget. but rather
the town's property budget. --.-- - -
"if we don't sort it out we'll have a
big white elephant". she added in the
discussion on the rec centre.
However. !tickle said it was the
responsibility of the rec board to
maintain the facility and noted that
council had a reserve fund set up tor •
such a purpose and yet hoard
members had considered drawing
from that reserve for the purchase al •
a new piece of equipment.
