The board of management of the South Huron Rec Centre reaffirmed its in­ tentions of putting the concession booth on a fir­ mer financial footing at its meeting Saturday. The board approved a motion by George Godbolt which said the board should make it a policy that the booth would only be open when it could at least be operated on a break-even basis. Jenny Rowe who super­ vises the booth’s operation said it was a “tossup” if the Zone change is approved Council members were advised by the ministry of housing that a zoning change to commercial had been ap­ proved for the property north of the bridge across the highway from Les Pines. However, it was suggested that council should check with the ministry of the en- vironment to set up guidelines to prevent ero­ sion into the Ausable River during and after any con­ struction. Clerk Liz Bell suggested the guidelines could be spell­ ed out under a development agreement. Two agreements were ap­ proved at Monday night’s session, one with David Ferguson, Haydn Gozzard and David Grundy to erect an industrial building for building boats on Alexander St. W. near Darling’s Abat­ toir. The other was an agree­ ment which will permit Gus Gregus to put in a sewer to his property on Thames Road W. at his own expense. booth should be open for all functions. Administrator Kirk Armstrong said at present, the only regularly scheduled event which the booth is not open for is for figure skating. Armstrong said there are enough services provided by the centre at the present. At least one portion of the centre should be operated in a business-like fashion, he said. Godbolt agreed with Armstrong and said there are enough alternatives in the town for food when the Agree on priorities for park project Following an at times firey meeting, the board of management for the South Huron Rec Centre, Exeter’s recreation committee and a group charged with the responsibility of raising funds for proposed changes for the community park have agreed on a set of priorities for the park’s development. The meeting held Satur­ day morning featured a livid exchange between Jim Deblock, and Mayor Bruce Shaw of the board of management. Deblock who as member of the grounds committee helped draft the original Community park redevelop­ ment scheme which was presented to the board in the spring, intimated Shaw had used his position on the board to promote the es­ tablishment of a new hard­ ball diamond. Shaw is active in Exeter’s minor hardball program. “I’m sick and tired of listening to this stuff,” Deblock stated, with Shaw quickly concurring. Deblock said it was his un­ derstanding that a diagram contained in a report written by a three man committee of the board of management Park project cost is over $50,000 The Clipper Unisex Opening Dec. 1, 1978 $5.00 Off on all perms till the end of December.

Court clerk is retiring Mabel Gray completed her final session court clerk in Exeter, Tuesday. The Goderich woman is retiring after serving 39 years in the Huron court system, as an administrator, Justice of the Peace and court clerk. Judge W. G. Cochrane, who worked with her as a lawyer, Crown Attorney and Judge, spoke from his chair and commended her for her many years’ service. Goderich lawyer Jim Donnelly, speaking on behalf of the Huron Bar Association, praised Mrs. Gray for the many duties performed and especially for her help and kindness to new members of the Association. He recalled the many Judges for whom she had worked. Mrs. Gray was presented with flowers by members of the Exeter OPP detachment during Tuesday’s court session at the Legion Hall. In a report submitted to the grounds fund raising committee Saturday by a three member committee of the board of management, the existing diamond will re­ main in its present location with a new diamond to be located to the east. Located in the north east corner of the park will be a soccer field. Plans were also made for the provision of more park­ ing to the south and north of the rec centre. Both ball diamonds will be able to accommodate both fastball and minor hardball. At the meeting between the board, the grounds fund raising committee and the recreation committee, the priorities for the provision of facilities were altered. In the spring of 1979, drainage work on the diamonds and soccer field is to be done, with a cost of around $20,000. Once the drainage work is completed, the renovation of the existing diamond is to start. Work slated for the summer includes the con­ struction of the new dia­ mond and its lights, and the preparation of the soccer field. In 1980, more work on the soccer field will be con­ ducted while the rec centre is slated to received ad­ ditional parking to the south and north. Total cost for the work is estimated to be $54,100. indicated the new diamond would have a hardball mound which would destroy the possibility of having a regulation fastball diamond. Shaw said the new dia­ mond would be designed to accommodate a mound .at sometime in the future, when interest in hardball at senior'levels picked up. Earlier in the discussion, both Deblock and Scott Bur­ ton stated EXSter should have one regulation fastball diamond, complete with a proper backstop and fen­ cing. While members of the board of management agreed with the necessity for a proper fastball dia­ mond, they said fencing would not be possible as it would negate the Use of the softball diamond for har- ball, and other park uses. Deblock said what it boil­ ed down to was a question of priorities for a combination diamond; fastball or hard­ ball. Larry Beuerman said the establishment of priorities for the diamonds was going to be very emotional when the fund raising stage was reached. “If you call that facility anything but a new fastball diamond, all hell- is going to break loose,” he said. He said the men who have played fastball the past few years in the rec league, have had to put up with inade­ quate facilities in Hensail and Huron Park and that they want two good diamonds to play on. Following a lengthy dis­ cussion, it was decided that minor baseball could be ac- commodated with no problem. A concern about a men’s hardball team was not of immediate concern Burton and George Godbolt said considering the ex­ istence of hardball teams in Crediton and Dashwood. Both Shaw and Burton agreed if a juvenile hardball team was formed, it could be accommodated at the new diamond. Adolescence is the time in a boy’s life when he notices that a girl notices he is noticing her. concession booth is not open. According to Armstrong, there are still some problems at the rec centre which Cambrian Con­ sultants, the engineers for the centre assured Arm­ strong would be fixed but no date for the rectifying of the problems has been set. Armstrong said he’s been receiving some pressure from the town to release the $8,000 holdback becaue Cambrian is charging the town interest for the use of the money. To this, Mayor Bruce Shaw suggested the town forget about the interest until all the problems have been fixed. In a reply to Howard Pym who asked how the seat heaters had been working, Armstrong replied they had received little use this season. Pym suggested the heaters be used at hockey games to determine if the units were now functioning properly. The rec centre denied a request from the Exeter Minor Hockey Association that the centre construct lockers for the minor hockey equipment. The board decided to provide the necessary space but the association would have to pay for the lockers. Won't alter water policy Any suggestion that Exeter council may change their policy and allow neigh­ boring township residents to hook into the water system were quickly dispelled this week. The only member in­ dicating any support for that change was Deputy-Reeve Don MacGregor, who had received a request from a township resident who was faced with drilling a well, despite the fact he was only 30 feet from the town water line. “Why did he build without looking into it?” Councillor Ken Ottewell asked. Councillor Ted Wright explained that council had ruled on similar requests and suggested there should be no change in town policy. Mayor Bruce Shaw said the policy had been established to protect local developers from cheap competition from those building in the townships. He said it would be unfair to provide town services to township developers when those in Exeter had to pay to put in services. “The way around it is to annex,” Shaw said in con­ cluding the debate.
