In the back row are Mr. Lacelle, Robert Allen, Allan Hyndman, Mr. Rogers, Scott McLennan and Mr. MacKinnon;. in front are Jack Brown, Jasper Farrish and Bill Bennett. Council, press rapped r''n for statements in pape GORRIE — An angry delegation from the Howick Community Centre Board appeared before Howick Town ' i-1ie,,—G One-.il at - its March meeting to protest. council's decision not to approve any further banka loans to the board and also that the board did not learn' of the decision until it was published in The Listowel Banner and The Wingham Advance -Times. "The way it came out in the paper it looks like you (council) are not going to support the community centre board," said Don .King, of Fordwich, a member of the community centre board. Mr. King was referring to a single paragraph of the council story in the Feb. 15 issue of the two papers which read: "In other business, council agreed to notify the Howick Community Centre Board it will not approve any further loans to the board from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce." This paragraph was based on a t motion which read, "The Township of Howick will no longer approve any further loans to the Howick Community Centre Board, from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as approval which was given by the township in October 1983 was for a short term period and was not to be used on a monthly basis." Back in October the council had given approval for the board to borrow up to 5,000 to tide them over until ice -rental funds started coming in. Council decided to recind the approval in February after receiving ten $1,000 -notes from the. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in 1ordwich. These notes, if approved by council would have allowed the community centre board to borrow up to $10,000, so council took ac: tion to prevent any further loans on the October ap- proval. Mr. King and his delegation made it clear that they had not requested the bank send the notes to council. "Perhaps it's the bank we have a bone to pick with then," said Reeve Stafford. George Oriold, of the Howick Community Centre _ Board said it was not so much council's action, or the fact that it made the papers that angered the board, as the fact the board was not notified of the decision prior to it appearing in the papers. Board members have recently been doing extra work in the community centre, due to the illnes of the ' Investors are pleased to an- nounce their new repre- sentative for the area is William (Bill) Stephenson Phone 357-2752 Let me show you how to put together a comprehensive personal plan that will help you: ® Keep up with inflation *Control the tax bite ® Build up your capital *Meet your investment goals C4 centre's manager. They were upset that criticism came at this time. "I spent 37 hours in that to take criticism over what is in the paper, I will just -resign," said Mr. King. - Coun. Gordon Kaster contended that board members misinterpeted the article in the papers. "I read it, and I didn't read what you did into it at all," he said, but added, "Of course I was at the meeting and knew what was in the motion.'" Deputy Reeve Gerald D'Arcey said the press had taken the motion out, of context and called the article a "misprint". Coun. John Jacques said he felt the wording of the motion might be partly to blame for the misun- derstanding. "Maybe the motion was a little ambiguous.

"Do you believe every- thi ou read in the .paper? Did you check it out? e read something about myself I check it out. That's what you've done, but you waited a month to do it," said Reeve Stafford. "All I want to know is if you are behind us or not," said Mr. King. "We never said we weren't," replied Reeve Stafford. Council suggested the problem with the loan ap- proval set-up, arranged in October, was that its limits were not well defined. "No. doubt it was too loose," said Reeve Stafford. Coun. Alex Graham' suggested that any future request for loans by the board should includea set amount ' and a term for repayment.
