Reserves at Southend Monday, 5th Feb 2007 12:07
Released academy defender Luke Webster will be in action against his old team-mates today when Town s second string travel to Southend (Roots Hall, KO 2pm). Last month TWTD reported that Webster would not be offered a professional contract by the Blues.
The 18-year-old is now with the Shrimpers trying to win himself a deal with Steve Tilson s club. Former Canary Spencer Prior is also in the Southend squad.
Town have named Shane Supple, George O Callaghan, Darren Currie, Sito and Matt Richards in their side for a game which was originally scheduled for tomorrow.
The Blues plan to use O Callaghan up front, perhaps a hint that the Irishman may be used in attack for the first team due during Alan Lee s impending absence through suspension. The former Cork City player has a good chance of leading the frontline at Watford in the FA Cup with Jon Walters unavailable through suspension.

While impossible to hang an exact price tag for project management services on a project of this scale at this time, according to Brian Lewis, Operations Department manager, the city can expect to pay between four and eight per cent of the total project cost. The new aquatic facility is being estimated to cost somewhere between $6 million and $11 million.

At Pembroke’s Parks and Recreation Committee meeting Tuesday night, council opted to proceed with the development of a new aquatic facility to replace the rapidly aging Kinsmen Pool, however the project will have to be scaled back from the original plan because of a lack of funding from senior government.
The City had made a funding application under the Federal/Provinical Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program that would’ve seen the provincial and federal government provide up to 73.3 per cent of the required $25 million project that included a replacement pool, hydrotherapy pool fitness area, snack bar, activity room and private sector bowling alley. Earlier this year, the City was told its application was not successful as the program was well over subscribed by a 10:1 margin.

At its Nov. 17 meeting Pembroke council approved an updated fireworks bylaw for the city.
Pembroke Fire Chief Dan Herback had brought a proposed revised bylaw that he developed to the city’s finance and administration committee for approval back in October. As part of the new bylaw, fines for violations have been substantially increased going from $10 and $50 to $500 for violations.

Another of the other major points in the new bylaw include that fireworks cannot be sold to or handled by or used by persons under the age of 18. There is also a ban on the sale and use of firecrackers specifically.
