BAYFIELD FISHING CHAMPS — The weekend fishing derby in Bayfield failed to produce
any rainbow trout, but, several Targe Chinook salmon were landed. Above, Kay McLeod is

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.

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.
In other business, the
board:
Learned the roller skating
program had a profit of
$5,000 and that the swim-
ming pool lost $1,200.

Lost motions, reprimands feature 'Iight' council

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

working hours and wondered
if council wanted to pay the
cost of having a PUC em-
ployee replace the defective

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

undertaken.
Councillor Jay Campbell
supported that suggestion,
and while Boyle termed it a
"silly" motion, the Reeve

upon. He andCampbelJ were,: PUC management did not
