The Huron County Board of Board to consider new rec office. Goderich Recreation Director Mike Dymond told members of the Goderich Recreation and Community. Centre Board in a report that moving the recreation department facilities to the arena or any other location would make the department less visible to the public. The recreation board wanted to look at ..the possibility of establishing the recreation office in the newly renovated Goderich Arena and at the board's • April meeting Dymond was asked to prepare a department reorganization report. Dymond said in his report that the recreation depart- ment could be located in the arena or elesewhere and that he was not adverse to the move but suggested that the present location was more obvious to the foot traffic. He claimed that a good per- centage of that traffic ,through the recreation office .would be lost through a move. "I think that the recreation department is more obvious to more people at the present location but I am,pprepared to work anywhere." Dymond said, "We can serve everybody better at our location now and we would only serve a few well at another location but I am biased on the location." - Dymond's main concern in relocating the office ,was the loss of visibility to tourist and other information . seeking traffic that he believes1Wo ld be cut to a minimum at the arena. He also cited the office work of cheque signing, mail handling, memos, and general .contact with the town hall would be much more difficult and inconvenient. In the report he said that offices in the arena mean that people would have to enter the arena before entering the recreation office and this would promote inac- cessibility and deter people .from approaching the department. The town maintains the. current location and main- tainenace costs to the. recreation board for cleaning Three shooters perfect Murray East of Clinton, Bill Thompson of Clinton and George Hamm of Blyth were the top shooters at the Vanastra Gun Club on June 21 when they each had perfect scores of 25. traps.

Moving the department would men additional ex- pense. Dymond suggested possible alternatives to relocating the offices within the arena, The first proposal was an addition to the North-West corner of the arena at a cost of ap- proximately $15,000. The transformer would have to be relocated and a new exit for the compressor room would have to be installed. This alternative would allow people to enter the recreation office directly from the street rather than go through the arena. The second proposal was an addition to the North-East ,corner of the arena to utilize a portion of the existing office. The other portion of the existing arena office will be used for, canteen storage and again access to the office would be availaibe from the street. The board room would have a private entrance for public use, The cost of this project was estimated at $18,000. He.also suggested that the existing board room at the arena could be extended to provide the required area but that proposal could provide some construction dif- ficulties. Board member Bob Allen suggested that if recon- struction of the grandstand facilities proceed within the next year it may be possible to build offices for the recreation department within the grandstand. Dymond also suggested the possibility of turning over the respon- sibility of Agriculture Park to the recreation department. The department. reorganization report was tabled to the board's October meeting. Education allotted Meyers use of the land for the con- struction of a track and field facility and he is now proceeding with funding of the project. ' Myers explained that the school has already raised $11,000 on its own and added that ihe construction of the syntitic track and pits would have to be phased depending on funds and the granting structure available. The project would be subject to Wintario grafits and also Community Centre Board grants if ,the group in charge of the project can obtain designatftiv4 of the area as a community centre area. "We are not neccessarily looking for money from ..this board but we need your sanction to build the track." Meyers explained, "We are going to get the project done if we have to do it ourselves." • The construction will follow three phasesdepending on Env the granting structure of both W intario and Community Centres. The first phase is to drain and tile the land with levelling and seeding to follow. Meyers claimed that the students have now raised enough money through two walk-a-thons to drain and tile the land. The second phase would be the tracklayout and construction and 'the - final phase would be the con- struction of a softball dia'nnond or other related St. Mary's Separate School principal Larry Cook presented Teresa Kovacks with the outstanding athlete award at the school's awards assembly last Friday.
