"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

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.

15 member. team. The final
cut was made Monday.
Zankowski will be prepar-
ing his young team for tour-
naments to be played after- -

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
