Councillor Robert Drummond said he was approached by one rate- payer disappointed that the sign near Beckers Milk is being moved. He said the sign was a benefit to those who rent the centre, because its movable letters could advertise their event. "It was decided to be changed be- cause it got to the point where it was deteriorated and was hard to look after," explained councillor Dave Urlin. Urlin also pointed out the Recrea- tion Centre doesn't have a high -lift truck to change thr;jettcrs, and leaves that resttinsibility up to the renter. "The board decided it wasn't do- ing any good any more," said Urlin, and said it will he replaced with a sign that simply points the way to the South Huron Recreation Centre. Councillor Ervin Sillery asked what it would have cost to update the sign to make it easier to use and change its letters. "It's got to be so high up off the ground, and if it's any lower some- time the kids change the letters around," said Urlin. Deputy -reeve Lossy Fuller said renters didn't realize it was their re- sponsibility to put up the letters, and consequently it just wasn't being used at all. Are ball diamond lights safe? EXETER - Are the lights on the town's ball diamonds safe? Recrea- tion Centre staff wilbte determining that later this week after a safety scare over such lighting. Last August in the Ottawa - Carleton area, several people com- plained about painful eyes after playing evening baseball. Appar- ently, the glass shield on a diamond light had broken, allowing harmful ultra -violet rays to pass. The Huron County Health Unit is asking local ball diamond operators to check to make sure all such light- ing is marked as type "T", which au- tomatically extinguish if the glass cover is broken. "They were a little concerned," said deputy -reeve Lossy Fuller about the Recreation Centre staff. She said facilities manager Cam Stewardson "will have a report for Thursday to see what is there, if there is or isn't a danger." Councillor Dave Urlin pointed out this problem occurred at a ball dia- mond that had 50 or 60 lights "and there was only one had one". Those complaining of eye prob- lems aftcr the Ottawa -Carleton inci- dent reported their problems cleared up within a week in most cases, however, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause permanent eye dam- age.

Gill Road project may exceed grant GRAND BEND - An infra- structure grant program offered by the Ontario and federal govern- ments is being considered as the source of funding for the Gill Road drainage project. The project cost, which is es- timated at $110,000, is to paid in part, $37,500 by the village, who have set aside a portion of the bud- get to be applied to infrastructure programs of this sort. However, residents in that area are concerned that if the entire pro- ject is not funded by the infra- structure grant then taxes will in- crease. "We haven't sat down and ear- marked our infrastructure dollars," said Paul Turnbull, Grand Bend Clerk. "In May the washrooms may need them." Cam Ivey, Dep- uty Mayor, explained that Grand Bend hasn't put money into a road systems for a long time, "if we wait it won't be done this year," he said. Council is concerned that if the entire project is funded by the infra- structure program that a dangerous precedent will be set. Council did point out however that similar pro- jects in the past had been complete- ly funded in this way. Mayor Tom lawson proposed that council wait and determine next years budget before making a de- cision. Parking behind the Legion may soon have a $10 fee imposed.
