Above, Kay McLeod is shown with former Exeterite Jim Parsons of Woodstock and a 14 pounder, derby organizer Joe Brannon of Rainbow Volley Camp, and Bill Martin of Woodstock with a 16 pound salmon. The biggest salmon at 22 pounds was caught by Gordon Hill of Varna. Staff Photo Rec board endorse plan, approve sign for building The fair board has agreed to the removal of the grandstand, sheep barn and animal pens at Exeter's community park provided that alternate facilities are made available. Don Cameron told the South rec centre board of management Tuesday that the fair board was in agreement w•itt, the overall concept of the plans for the redevelopment of the park which had been presented by himself and Mayor Derry Boyle a few months ago. Ca•neron suggested that an overall proposal including the changes planned for a few years down the road be incorporated into a plan which could be presented to the various interest groups and the public. He suggested that from a fund raising standpoint an overall plan would be 'beneficial. .While members of the Exeter recreation - com- mittee which sit on the board of management expressed approval of Cameron's proposal. Wayne Pearce said it was important that the new accommodationsfor the (air board be defined. Later Pe'Irce acting as a member of the rec board expressed thanks to Cameron for the fine job which he • and Boyle have done. "I ,think it's terrific," he said. • Work on the drainage of the ball diamond and the area proposed for a new diamond will be done this fall, Cameron said. As announced earlier, Ron Helm has been appointed chairman of the fund raising committee. Other members are Cameron, Jerry MacLean, rec director Ian Smith, Bill Brock, Gerald Merner, Jim DeBlock and Bruce Shaw. Two years after the rec centre was officially opened the facility will finally have itself a sign.' The board agreed to ac- cept the quote of $1,680 from Consolidated Signs of Crediton for the erection of lettering on the south-east • wall of the building. The lettering will be similar to that used on the addition to South -Huron' Hospital. Still up in- the air is the installation of a sign near Victoria and Main on the • grounds of the fire depart- ment. The Board deferred a decision on the matter until building inspector. Doug Triebner is consulted. If approved, the 32 square foot sign would indicate the rec centre's location and have space to advertise events taking place in either the hall or the arena. Renters of th who wish to _ er will be able t e the facility for an extra $25. • Smith said a recent reception used the foyer to serve food due to the crowded conditions in the hall Pearce expressed concern• that the number of people in the hall should be kept to the allowatitti epee _ •limit-, of; 517. Board members agreed and suggested that a "locked doors" policy when that number has been reached might be in order. Smith said 500 chairs are set out for events such as receptions. He said it was not necessary for the board to pass a motion since it states on the licence the number of people which are permitted. Renters for the hall will charged $25 more per weekend night, effective January 1. Friday night bookings go up from $150 to $175 while Saturday evening bookings go up the same amount to $200. The deposit has been doubled from $25 to $50. Bar rent for functions with over. 300. people have also gone up while for gatherings under that number the charge remains the same. Functions under 300 people will pay $50, between 300-425, $100 and over 425- $125. Smith said the intent of the increasewas to cover high clean-up costs associated. with the larger functions. In a response to a cjuery Smith said the rec centre's rates are in the middle compared to other area facilities. e "We're not pricey," he added. While the Exeter Saveway ball team may have been champions they •received little sympathy from one old ball player.

Dear mother of Joyce (Mrs. Smith presented a letter to the board from the team which indicated their dis- satisfaction with the removal of the outfield fence and the litter on the outfield following the Exeter fall fair. "Tell them to go to hell. We're not bringing people in at time and a half on Sunday to put a fence up" Boyle said. Later the mayor added "They don't need a fence. I played ball for 50 years without one." Smith said in future he would inform the user groups well in advance of possible changes to the park as a result of the fair. The board made no comment ,on . the letter's statement that the team was not told where the ball bags or lining equipment had been removed to.

Times- Advocate, October 17, 1979 Paye 3 Lost motions, reprimands feature 'Iight' council Continued from front page broke the tie with a vote for the ad. Later in the meeting, a request for a donation for the Canadian Institute for the Blind was received from Exeter Lions member Mike Williamson. His wife and Councillor Campbell, a member of the Lions, declared a conflict of interest in the matter. "Why, are you blind?" quipped Cameron. Council turned down the request with Boyle noting that the town's residents had been canvassed. Two are lost The first two motions to be defeated by council was regarding the annual Christmas party staged by Pineridge Ch et for area municipal of cia _ While s veral area councils use the event to treat their employees and themselves to a festive party, Exeter has never been well represented at the event. R Simmons said he thought the town should buy a couple of ticket for someone to attend, but Boyle replied that in the past those wishing to attend had always had to pay their own way. "It's time we loosened up then," Simmons replied and presented a motion to buy four tickets. However, he gained only support from MacGregor NMI Nm•N and Patterson and the motion was defeated, although Councillors Wright and Fuller said they felt- it was important that Exeter be represented at the event. When tiomeone noted that it was embarrassing for local representatives to be on hand in such small numbers, Campbell noted that if no one attended from Exeter, then no one would have to look around and be embarrassed. Council provides a party for the town employees at the rec centre. The second motion to go down to defeat was regar- ding the cost of relamping the local traffic lights. PUC manager Hugh Davis - wrote a letter advising that calls are often received frogs the police after regular working hours and wondered if council wanted to pay the cost of having a PUC em- ployee replace the defective lamp at overtime rates of FIRE HITS HOME A- fire Friday evening in Dashwood caused severe damage to the residence of Ervin Steinmann and family. One room was reported to have been gutted by flames. The house is located on Highway 83 in the western section of the village. A kindergarten teacher is a woman who knows how to make little things count. pay or leave the work until regular work hours. Noting that the town was one of the better customers for the PUC, Simmons put forth a motion that the PUC should only charge the work out at regular hourly rates regardless of when it is undertaken. Councillor Jay Campbell supported that suggestion, and while Boyle termed it a "silly" motion, the Reeve demanded that it be voted upon. He andCampbelJ were,: PUC management did not get paid overtime. Clerk Liz Bell reported it has cost the town almost $500 so far this year for repair work to the traffic lights. the only supporters. A motion pas then ap- -proved that the PUC be requested to undertake the work whenever it was necessary as most members felt the traffic lights should not be left inoperative for any length of time. Councillor Don "Cameron noted that the odds were in favor of the work being done at off hours. He did suggest that perhaps the Two reprimanded The reprimands handed out at the meeting went to Reeve Simmons and Deputy - Reeve MacGregor,' after both were spotted breaking council's no -smoke rules. Cameron presented the suggestion for the reprimand and, they were heartily endorsed by Qhe non- smoking members of council. When Mrs. Fuller spotted MacGregor lighting up, she suggested a fine Qf $10 be levied against anyone found breaking the rules and that the money so realized be used to make donations to the charitable organizations which seed funds from courted. . • 1•' •err' • A BANNOCKBURN HIKE — An interesting but very sparsely attended nature hike wos held of Bannockburn Sunday under the auspices of the Ausable-Bayfield conservation Authority.
