Rec board delays decision. on Hockey grant until newye�r The Goderich Recreation Board re-examined a grant ap- plication from the '.Goderich Minor Hockey Association at their regular meeting last Thursday night and tabled .� their decision until after budget time in the new year. The hoard discussed the ap- plication after hearing a letter from the president of tile association,' 'Bill Reid. Mr. Reid said 'that the association would still be deeply involved with fund raising but would like very much to be working toward this year's, expenses rather than be concerned with last year's. - Minor hockey owes ap- proximately $2.,000 to the rec board for 1.97.3-74's ice rental bill. They have $1,000 'which ' they would give the rec board and -wish to use a $400 grant they received for a coach's clinic as a payment on the ice' bill. The remaining $700 would be paid as a result of the :igrxnt.• from rec board. The failure to hold a coach's clinic as a result of the transfer of that • $400 grant sparred some discussion from.the board members. Bruno Lapaine questioned minor hockey's',use of the clinic grant. He felt that the money was slated for 'a clinic and if . no clinic' is to be held then thefunds should not be spent. He added that a clinic is "badly, badly needed." Emily Crew felt that the ice bill ,minor hockey' had ac- cumQlated should" 'have been brought to the board's atten- tion at the end of last year's season. -'She said she had been unaware of thei3• financial, stress and was "shocked'.' when': she learned they owed . the: money. , The rec'board decided to give the association the $400 to use DRMCO layoff yesterday •The ' Dominion Road Machine►cy Company Ltd. has ann6unced ,a layoff of between 4pr 00, and 500 _production workers and supportive person- nel effective Wednesday; Oc tobe•r 30. The company found it necessary to curtail production due to the delayed deli.Teryof engines. Delivery of the engines is expected by Tuesday, Novem- ber 6 and it is anticipated that production will resume the following day. The company found no alter- native" to the layoff since it. wished to discontinue to produce incomplete graders .and huild up a larger inven- tory. in any way they wish but that they would stipulate the necessity of using it for a clinic alone in the future. They did not decide on the $700 grant but will ask the minor hockey association for a financial statement in January when the board's budget is drawn up. The other grant that the rec• board' was approached •wiilO Came up in the discussion. The Goderich Art Club had asked the board for money to stay their studio rental costs for the future. The club felt that thu needed assurance that they had financial backing before they rented, a studio,. but were assured that if they found a place and after all their efforts could not pay for it, then they should apply for a grant. The' board felt that some risk had to be taken by the Art Club before they could give them a grant. The Art Club, have ' not yet found a- suitable studio and thus have not applied for any „specific sum. It was their inten- tion to ask for the rent costs in the form of a grant. A fear that the club could not operate' un- der the financial burden moved them to make the application for a grant. A decision on the grant has been tabled until the 'new year should the' club .en- • counter difficulty. The recreation director reported to the board on •the winter classes offered by the town. Mr. Dymond indicated that the majority 'of classes have been very successful. New courses have been well attended. ". Ballet has an enrollment of 23 people, yoga 40,ball room dancing has' at- tracted 22 dancers and six or eight more have indicated they, are going to come- out. • Judo and karate have classes twice a week and are crowded. The karate school is considering of- fering Saturday morning classes, The Saturday Morning Club had only fiveipeople out and if the attendance does not im- prove the class will be .can- celled. Men's' fitness classes were cancelled but ~there is, a •possibility,.that a-xen's basiyet- ' ball league wiIr be 'stfrted; the new year. The Camera Club has 15 students and will begin very . soon. • • Arena manager, Bill .Lumby, reported, that the arena now has 78 hours a week -booked for Ronald L.

He said that the arena is being used from -122- 124 hours a week. Public skating will begin this Sunday from 1:30 to 3•:30 and the cost will remain at 50 cents. The rec board is reviewing the -charge for public skating to see if the cost should be increased to match other arenas. ,The rec board decided that a tender system will be used on capital expenses over $500. The decision came after a discussion sparked by the bill for the painting of the arena. Bruno Lapaine suggested that large expenses by the rec board should be tendered and the lowest bid accepted. Some of the members felt that all ex- penses should be tendered but it was felt that too much time would be spentin'reviewing the tenders and a $500 limit was set.
