He explained the Town of Goderich is sincere in its hill to build it new 5,0N0 tool runway with the town applying for an 80 percent provincial grant for the first 1.5(0 feet of runway with Goderich responsible for the con- struction costs of the renutining; 1,500 feet. '•That $23.(00 would be a big help in that past $1.500 feet." he said. Ile further asked fur an explanation from the Executive Committee who set the budget as to why the $23,000 was cut tivnt-Ihe budget. he urged the -councillors - to reconsider and reinstate the -Full grant.

Dave Johnston questioned the wisdom o1 taking the $2:L000 out of the budget as Goderich had lived up to certain commitments to the county, especially waiving an $8,001 building tannin for the Huron County Pioneer Museum renovations. "1 wonder it we're asking and ex- pecting l(x) much -of the Town of Goderich to reduce their grant com- pletely to the lune of $23,(00, then smile and say, 'By the way will you waive. the $8,000 building permit.' "In fact, we may be opening ours'rlves up to a situation here were --we+e creating a feeling of animosity between the Iwo. As for the 23,000 i1 may cost us $23.100 anyways, but on the different side of the ledger." said Reeve Johnston. Exeter Reeve Bill 1\lickle said while he understood the Feelings of Goderich as the airport has served the northern part of the county well, he said there was some "serious rumbl- ings" out 01 the southern part of the county regarding the Huron Park Airport . "If we're going to be into supporting airports, that southern airport is very important to the south part of lluron County. Someday we may have to consider its needs," said Reeve Miekle. "We're going to 'iced airports more and more as industry comes in here for the transportation of goods and services out of this area." Colborne Reeve Russell Kernighan said he has no choice but to support -the airport as it -is in the township.- "But- I'm glad to support it as I feel it's important to the area." Zurich ReeveRobert Fisher said he would not support the Goderich air- port grant as the county cannot simp- ly afford two airports.

The taxpayers just can't afford two airports," he said. Tuckersmith Reeve Robert Bell, a member of the executive committee,' said he realized the importance of the Goderich Airport to the area. , However, he took exception to some of the comments made by Mr. Doher- ty, calling them "a threat against the county" '1'm somewhat disturbed when we start using one project against another. 1 just wanted to let you know that it wasn't the feeling of the ex- ecutive committee that the airport didn't have any importance," he said. Goderich Reeve harry Worsell quipped that perhaps the committee •'could knock some l money) out of the \'anastra swimming pool" which is run by Tuckersmith Township. Deputy Reeve Doherty said it was not his intention to use the Museum project against the airport grant. "1t was not meant as a threat." He asked for the reduction in the grant to $15,(X)0 for the airport which was passed in a recorded vote by a 30-1 margin. Ask public input on health emergencies Since early July. a committee con- sisting of doctors, operating super- -visors, a medical officer. firemen. a police officer and a hospital ad- ministrator have been working on a comprehensive review of the emergency health services within Huron and Perth Counties. And now. in the final stages of their study, they would like input from the public sector. According to co-ordinator Barbara Worthington. the study was put in place when the .1\1inisiry of Health listed emergency health services as a top priority. "They strongly encouraged the district health councils to study the services," said Ms. Worthington. lluron and Perth do not have health councils. but the administrators working group felt this study was too important to not be included in. so the Huron -Perth Emergency Ilealth Ser- vices Study Committee was set up in February of 1985. Those sitting on the committee include Clinton Public Hospital Administrator Dan Steyr as schairman; operating room super- visors F'erne Schwartzentruber and Joan Chesney; Constable Roger Dumas of Sehringville; doctors M. Leser and Jaynes O'Rourke; am- bulance supervisor iteg ()'(lagan: Ministry of health representatives .Deanne Zerbecki and Jaynes Bain: Stratford Fire Chief Keith Orchard and Deputy Fire Chief Sid Creek: Medical Officer in Stratford, Susan '1'amblyn: and Bev Skinner, a public representative. - Areas which have been studied thus far include what training those who respond to emergencies have received. "One of these questions would Fe do they know ('PR? Ambulance atten- dants would have to know CPR but what about the volunteer firemen"" explained Ms. \Worthington: Those surveyed within the health system were also asked if they thought the 911 emergency com- munication systems would be beneficial or if a paramedic system would be of benefit in the area. They -were also asked if they felt there was a need for an air ambulance service which.would see the plan located in London but service this area. Now that the physicians, hospital administrators, emergency room head nurses, ambulance services, police forces, fire departments and municipalities have had an oportuni- -1y- to-- provide -input, the committee would like to hear from the public. "We want to know how the system - rs working. We want to know if there are any problems getting a hold of so- meone." said Ms. Worthington. "Or we want to hear praise. We want to know if someone is overwhelmed with the system. "The public are the ones who are most aware of how the emergency system works". In defining the term emergency, \is. Worthington said, "What is an - emergency to one person may not be an emergency to another person. What I'm looking for isn't someone who was brought in with a cold, but people who have had a fracture, or so- meone who brought their husband in with a heart attack.". I lowever, she did say she was will- ing to read anything that was sent her w<ty. "If it is a valid complaint, maybe something can be done about it." said Ms. Worthington. 1 -.'or those who.would like to make a submission to the study, simply write a letter to the Huron -Perth Emergency Health Services Study Committee at 105 Shipley Street, Clin- ton. NOM 11,0 by 5 p.m. on April 15. All letters should be signed. Once the results have been gathered they will be put into a report which will be submitted to the com- mittee and then on to the Ministry of Ilealth. LEGION SPEAKERS Gord Clubb, president of the Lucon Legion branch 540 is shown with grades four. five and six public speaking winners Brent Mills, Denise Cowdrey and Elizabeth Vandenburg. Reason alone almost never shapes our 10041 habits. For most people, facet is much more than the fuel needed to keep the body running efficiently. Think about the foods you eat: then. think about what influences you to make those choices. Moods and emotions. friends and social situations, traditions and cultures, families and childhood ex- periences, sense of tastes, smell and vision, food likes and dislikes, the media and advertising are only a few of the factors which guide us making fail choices. For rnariy consumers in the 80's concern for good nutrition and good health is also an imprrthnt in- fluence on fail choices. It's a fact today Thal many of the health problems experienced by Canadians are "diseases of lifestyle" or "diseases of choice.' Several health problems such as hear) disease, obesity, high blood pressure, some cancers and dental health are influenced to a degree by the fowl choices we make March is National Nutrition Month, a time when -nutrition professionals J/eafiIi OpICS 'Ny ('ashy 'Thomson Nutrition Consultant Huron Comity ileafth across the country promote healthy food choices to the public. This year's theme - Good Nutrition - it's Your Choice emphasizes the importance of .being an informed consumer. Many people are afraid that follow- ing good nutritlbn. habits is com- plicated or painful. The simple truth is that nothing could be easier. Eat a wide variety of wholesomte. basic foods - like fluid milk and milk pro- ducts like yogurt. cheese, and pud- ding; fruits and vegetables of all kinds. fresh. frozen or canned; breads and cereals. emphasizing whole grain products and including muffins. crackers, pasta and rice; and meat. fish. poultry and alternates. choosing lean well -trimmed cuts of meat and trying some new protein combing tions made from beans. peas or lentils. Good nutrition doesn't mean cutting out a got of things. 1t does mean moderation - emphasizing heal't-` folds and choosing high. fat, high sugar foals occasionally (not eve ry day!) The benefits are worth a little time and effort. When you eat right and get some regular exercise, you'll feel bet- ter able to participate fully in all that life has to offer. During Nutrition Month think about il. Good nutrition - it really is your choice. 1 TENDERS WANTED Repairs to Dashwood Community Centre Individual tenders will be accepted for the following: 1.
