After re- viewing the budget at the board's monthly meeting Thursday night, the Rec Centre expects to be about $23,000' in the black for the first time in a number of years. The estimated1989 budget for the Rec Centre was $440,410.

Some of the summer programs didn't go quite as well as expected while others went very well. Roller skating was disappointing. As some playground programs were cancelled, wages were only $3,843 instead of the estimated $6,000. About S7,000 was budgeted for pro- gram development but that has now dropped to just $4,000. The swimming pool went $1,000 over budget because of repairs to the pool when it opened a week late in June. One of the largest decreases in ex- penditures will be for administra- tion of the arena, hall and grounds. The capital budget was $15,600 for the year and the revised -year end fig- ure for that will be $8,883. Rec Centre secretary Joanne Fields points out that could be re- duced even more once grants. that have been applied for come in. Fields said early registration for the fall programs has been going well and almost all classes, except for early -morning dancing, are full. The board approved the hiring of the staff that will be teaching those fall programs.

The Lioness Club donat- ed $100 towards the purchase of the replacement. Chapman told the board all arena repairs are on or ahead of schedule. Facilities manager Cam Steward - son is to obtain estimates for a buffer strip around the arena to pre- vent cars from bumping into it once the steel cladding is on. Tenders for doing the steel clad- ding were being accepted at the Rec Centre until Friday and then - the job will be awarded. Chapman said someone asked Times -Advocate, September 20, 1989 Page 27 about the possibility of putungin squash and racquetball courts but the board thought that was out of the question at the present time. It would be too costly and there was not enough interest at the present time. The board passed a motion to meet separately as soon as possible with representatives from the three main hockey groups, minor hock- ey, Mohawks and Hawks and the Optimists, to discuss floor cost sharing. The board will be discussing the possibility of purchasing a new floor to put on the ice during the Horne and Garden Show so ice us- ers may play at the SHRC once the Home show is finished. Some board members had been Letters to the Editor Dear Sir: I have been reading about the concerns about the crosswalk at Main.and Victoria. There should also be a concern about the crosswalk on Main and James. I work at the Discount Store and it is very hard watching the people trying to cross there. A lot of children and older people use that crossing mainly those from the Manor on James St. They start across and the traffic stops one way and when they get part way, a car is coming straight through on the other side so they are left stand- ing in the middle. Some of the older people cannot move quite as fast and drivers get a little uptight and start moving slowly ahead which I think confus- es some people. I find this very had to watch eve- ry day. I hope that someone will read this and maybe come up with a so- lution for the problem. • I personally think they need some kind of a caution light or big signs stating it is there. Phyllis Collett, Crediton. Deer killed in two area accidents EXETER - Deer were killed in two of the six accidents investigated this week by officers of the Exeter detachment of the Ontario Provin- cial Police. - In the first of three mishaps on September 11, a vehicle driven by Robert Payne of RR 8, Parkhill, struck a deer on Huron road 5 at 6:45 a.m. The same day, at 2:45 p.m., vehicles driven.by Margaret Duffy, Grand Bend and AlbertOke; Denfeld, collided on Highway 83. Both drivers sustained minimal injuries and a passenger, Maxine Oke suf- fered major injuries. All three were taken to South Huron Hospital for treatment. Also on Monday, a truck owned by George Sereda, RR 1, Central- ia was demolished on Highway 83. It was being towed by another truck driven by Perry Sereda when it jacknifed and flipped oyer.
