Talk about leaked to the press - Goderich Little Theatre president, Stephanie
Scholten throws superstition to the wind, hoping the town can find room in the 2009
budget for urgent repairs for the Livery roof.
Livery looking to Goderich
council for roof repair funds

It's a big request for a big part of God-
erich's history, but Goderich Little The-
atre is hat -in -hand, asking town council
for $50,000 for urgent repairs.
From animals getting inside to snow
in the dressing rooms, the need for those
repairs is making itself apparent in a
number of ways, according to GLT pres-
ident Stephanie Scholten.
A letter from GLT to the town dated
Nov. 14, said the repairs need to be com-
pleted immediately for the roof, soffit
and fascia of the building.
Much of . the eavestroughing on the
Livery is missing, and the roof itself
is sagging and leaking in many places.
Rotten wooden fascia also shows signs
of a buildling in decay.
After their initial repair consultation
two years ago, GLT undertook the neces-
sary fundraising to repair the crumbling
stone facade at the front of the building,
but Scholten admits, fundraising may be
difficult in a community hit hard from
the manufacturing downturn and pro-
ceeds from their productions leave little
after costs are covered.
"We only manage to make enough
to keep going," she said. "For serious
fundraising, we don't really have the
structure to do that yet."
The total of the repairs is estimated at
$100,000.
Scholten said while their mission
statement is to offer quality entertain-
ment, their duties go beyond, to the Liv-
ery itself.
"We're not just a club that puts on
plays," she said. "We also have a stew-
ardship role."
To that end, Scholten said they are
looking to the community for support
and that means municipal dollars for the
project.
She said the building itself has histori-
cal significance in Goderich, undergoing
many transitions over the years.
The Livery has been spared the wreck-
ing ball before, and Scholten said main-
tenance is. once again needed to make
sure the building remains a valuable
public place in the downtown core.
The funding issue has been referred to
the 2009 budget by council.
