whose shore at this point runs
almost directly north and south. Its
eastern boundary also runs north
and south being formed by the
Township of Hullett, but the
exceeding crookedness of the
Maitland and Bayfield rivers,
which bound it on the north and
south respectively, make the
boundaries very irregular.
Originally the Canada Company
purchased a million acres but didn't
really know they had until t he
survey. They were amazed by the
Hullett swamps and the falls.
Goderich Twp. is unique as all
lots contain 80 acres.
Mr. Thompson also told many
interesting stories about the many
activities in the township.
Sparks this year are Jenna Stryker
and Shauna Dawson. Spark leaders,
Elaine Scott and Leanne Swanson
presented last year's Sparks with
badges and best wishes as they
became Tweenies.

The Ministry of the Environment
and Energy (MOEE) has
recognized the initiative of
residents to address local water
quality problems. Over $1 million
has been allocated to the Ausable-
Bayfield Conservation Authority
(ABCA) watersheds through the
Clean Up Rural Beaches Program
(CURB). Through the CURB
program, rural residents identify
situations that are impairing surface
water quality and apply for grants
that will help cover the costs of the
remedial measures. The approval of
their proposed projects by the
MOEE gives them the go-ahead to
begin the construction phase of the
project.
This year, about 150 projects
have been approved. Hopefully, all
will be able to complete their
projects and submit their expense
claims in the near future.
"We don't know what funding
will be available for their approved
projects after March 31, 1995," said
Doug Hocking the CURB program
supervisor at the ABCA. "With this
year's construction season coming
to a close within a few months,
Rae McFarlane thanked Mr.
Thompson for sharing the interest
ing history stories of the township
and presented him with a gift.
A set of six historic postcard
views along the Huron lakeshore
have been reproduced and are now
for sale. Hopefully a new set can be
reproduced each year.
The 1994 "Huron Historical
Notes" will soon be available.
The next meeting will be the
dinner meeting at the Brucefield
United Church on Friday, Oct. 28
at 6 p.m. The special guest speaker
will be John Mellor, BAMA and
the topic is "D-Day: Naval Opera
tions".
Lunch was served by the ladies
of the Holmesville UCW.
Leanne Elston, Ellen Procter, and
Janisa Cloakey. Other Tweenies
include Felisha Price, Lindsay
Malhiot and Camerra Yuill.
The snack was provided b'f
Amanda Dorsch who made
cupcakes as part of her baker's
badge.
we're encouraging people to get
their projects started now.
"There won't be enough time
next spring for the frost to leave the
ground, complete the project and
get the paperwork processed here
and at the MOEE in Toronto by the
end of March. Essentially, people
need to get their projects completed
within this construction season.
Ideally, we would have the receipts
and cancelled cheques in our office
by the end of December."
"At the beginning of September,
we received the good news that we
have access to an additional

$100,000 in MOEE grants within
the Authority's watersheds," said
Hocking. These grants apply to
manure storages, milkhouse waste
disposal systems, fencing livestock
from rivers and private septic
systems which will eliminate the
contamination of surface water.
The large number of people who
have already applied shows the
concern of our rural residents for
water quality. Call Doug Hocking
or Rick Etherington at the Ausable-
Bayfield Conservation Authority at
235-2610 if you would like to
participate in the program.
