"We lost money for recrea- tion last year and I just.don't want to see that happen again this year," Birmingham commented,\ "11 won't," replied facilities manager Cam Stewardson. Board members expressed some reservations on getting involved in a deal with the Ex- eter and Area Junior hawks Association, who plan to buy a bus for the team's travels and have offered it. to the board for their purposes dur ing the off-season. The Hawks organization asked that the rec board pay the $645 insurance premium on the bus. • It was agreed that the bus could prove beneficial for the swim team and summer playground. two programs that often suffer because there is difficulty in getting drivers to take youngsters on trips. Rec director Lynne Far- quhar agreed with the conten- tion of Bill Rose that a bus could enable the staff to have a more diversified summer program. "Personally, 1 think it is a luxury:" commented Birm- ingham. noting that operating a bus costs a great deal of money. He questioned if the board could afford to operate the bus even if it was given to them. "Too many groups have a champagne taste on a beer budget." he added, saying the purpose and operation of a bus would be a big undertaking. It was finally agreed to have the staff check the situa- tion more fully with the junior hockey organization and to in- vestigate what the board's liability would be. "If they draw up a pro- posal, we would certainly look at it," Rose said, while chair man John Pym said. there was some merit .in the pro- posal as it may be easier to find one bus driver than 10 parents to drive cars for playground outings. In other business at Thurs- day's meeting, the board:: Learned that seven items have been stored in the agricultural building to date by area residents. Agreed to an annual fee of $1,200 for the 20 -week flea market planned next year by the Exeter Kinsmen. Originally, the board had set a rental of $75 for each of the Sunday's. Learned that the Exeter Minor Hockey Association would not be staging the an- nual novice hockey tourna- ment this year due to a lack of entries. South Huron rev centre board member Gary Birm- ingham asked for assurances this week that the board wouldn't end up in the same position as last year when funds allotted for recreation weren't spent and were then taken back by the town of Exeter. - Birmingham pointed out the rec board had been told they were on line with the budget last year and sodic planned expenditures were dropped. only to find that the y "ould leave been undertaken with the extra funds that ac tually were available "We stiffer m the long roc.' he said; in attempting to get _ some assurance • that the same thing Won't happen this' year. Finance committee chairperson Carolyn :Verner told him .at the board's meeting. Thursday. that this year's -budget is NI ing watch- ed very closely and appears to be on target, but explained that expenses such as utilifies and income from the snack bar wouldn't be known until late in December. She said the staff would be reviewing the situation on December Birmingham was assured by staff members present that all money. allotted for recreation would be spent this year. Birmingham then wanted to know who would authorize expenditures that may be netxted to use up the funds, noting that ,last year the com- mittee had said some funds were left because they did not have authorization for spen- ding them. Mrs. Merner said that if funds were available, some expenses planned for January would be moved ahead to December. However, she emphasized that money wouldn't be spent foolishly just_to use up funds DENTURE THERA P Y CLINIC 665.78 or 1-336-6580 R.R. 1, Neustadt Horst Feige D.T.

Volleyball alive Senior girls volleyball is still alive at South Huron. Last week there was fear that it would go the way of boys volleyball which was discon- tinued two years ago. Last year's coach Joe Fulop wanted a break from coaching as he goes nonstop from cross-country to volleyball to track to baseball in the summer. After a fruitless search for a new coach. Fulop agreed to again coach if there was enough interest. Ron,l3ogart, physical education head, will be helping with the team. A lack of players threaten- ed the volleyball team as well. Fulop' had to advertise for prospective players: As it stands now only 10 girls are practicing. Several grade 13 athletes have decided to devote the volleyball season instead to their suffering school work. Thus Fulop has been left with a skeleton team. With six girls playing at a time, the team won't be able to afford any injuries and must be in excellent shape to last through a 15 or. 20 game. tournament. Fulop. believes returnees Faye Gaiser and Charlene Verbeek will be the core of the team but all girls will have a chance to get a good share of court time. bowling Bit 1'. Blong 558 4 21 SC J.

New bridge is priority of Tuckersmith council By Wilma Oke A new bridge was named by Tuckersmith Township coun- cil Tuesday as its top priori- ty in road construction this year. ' Asked by the Stratford area office of the Ministry of Transportation to 'make its heeds known early, council agreed that the Roman Leine bridge on concession road four should be replaced. Allan Nicholson, road superintendent, said replac- ing the bridge would cut the cost of gravel t the road leads up to the township owned gravel pit.) Replacing the 1966 grader was considered, also having plans prepared for a new township shed was suggested. Councillor George Cantelon said that some ratepayers complained to him because the road graders were out on the roads when it was raining and resulted in soupy potholes. - Nicholson agreed to a point but explained that with calcium on the roads, it was essential that they had to be graded when wet, never when dried out. He pointed out as it was not possible to know how long the rain would last and that it takes a week to grade the roads in the township the men would work in the rain at times. He'II explain Nicholson asked that in the future if a ratepayer with a complaint about the roads would contact him he would explain what road conditions were necessary to use the grader. Council agreed he know his business and that many people didn't unders- tand road maintenance. Reeve Bell questioned the total cost to complete the new entrance off highway four to 7th Anvenue at Vanastra. Mr. Nicholson said it would be around $7,000. The township will be footing the bill. Council agreed to sell fron- tage on its land on County Road 3 ( between Egmond- ville and Brucefield) to the • County which had planned to reconstruct the road in 1983. Reeve Bell reported the County road committee has decided against the reconstruction work because 1 of difficulties in getting some land owners along the road to sell frontage for the road widening. Mr. Bell said he understood some owners were holding out for more money than the county was willing to pay. " More money The reeve said he felt the township should sell its fron- tage so as not to place anything in the way to hinder the construction but deputy reeve William Brown felt the township should go along with its own ratepayers in their de- mand for more money. Council approved a tax write-off of 8440.10 for two buildings (house and barn) owned by Walter Denys dstroyed by fire this year. Approval was given for a tile drainage loan for 812,000. Passed for payment were accounts totalling 8168,167.02 including Vanastra Day Care, In a moment of frustration, Charles de Gaulle is said to have asked, "How can you govern a nation that has 350 kinds of cheese?" 85,963.64; Vanastra Special Day Care, $4,432.32; Vanastra . recreation, 812,912.29; roads, $12,230.64 and general accounts, 8132,628.43. Councillor Robert Broad- foot was tentatively named to represent the council on the new Seaforth and District Community Centre manage- ment board for the next three years and the non council ratepayer representative will be named later. Prior to the inaugural meeting, members of council and their wives dined at a Clinton restaurant and follow- ing the oath of office David McKnight of Egmondville United Church spoke tocoun- cil and prayed for guidance for the coming three years in office.
