Thursday afternoon with Canadian Forces Major Real
Turrn'n, co-ordinator of the Snowbirds who did an m -
spection of the Huron Nark Airport.
The Snowbirds were scheduled to perform at the
London Air Show but instead will be in Montreal.
That makes the Grand Bend show the only one in this
"We wish we could be everywhere at the same time,
but we can't," said Turgeon.
Mayor Tom Lawson said he received an unexpected
phone call recently from Hensall native Bob Stephan,
the commanding officer and neem leader of the Snow-
birds.
"Bob Stefan called on a Sunday afternoon and said
they had a hole in their schedule," acid Lawson.
- He -noted Stefan's Sister and a uitlive in Oraiid"Bend
and the pilot is looking forward to performing over
Lake Huron on May 26.
"It's a dream that he's always wanted to fly in Grand
Bend," said Lawson.
The 30 -minute show is expected to begin at 5 p.m.
and will be right over the beach:The proposed agenda

Economic
development
in South
Huron
EXETER - In 1990, the six mu-
nicipalities of South Huron (Hay,
Stephen and Usborne Townships,
Hensall, Zurich and Exeter) began
working with Huron County on an
economic development program
designed to improve economic con-
ditions in the area, to support exist-
ing businesses, to encourage
growth from within the area and to
attract development from outside
the region. It is proposed `that with
Federal financial assistance, the
Committee will provide a variety of
services including • information :ex-
change,
ex-
change, promotional programs,
business start-up assistance and
guidance to government programs.
While the County -Federal discus-
sions are taking place, the South
Huron Economic Development
Committee is .keeping busy on ini-
tiatives of its own. A major study
of the "impact of Government Poli-
cy on Business Development in
South Huron County" will be of
particular interest to local business-
es of all types and to the communi-
ty at large. The study, designed
with assistance from local business-
es, has five objectives briefly de-
scribed below:
(1) to define the nature of govern-
ment involvement in economic de-
velopment both through programs
aimed at promoting development
and through regulations that affect
business;
(2) to determine the ways in
which government policy enhances
business in South Huron:
(3) to consider the business issues
and problems that are attributed to
government policy:
(4) to identify potential improv-
.ments in government policy and ad -
Mn relating to economic
,,development;
(5) to clarify the mandate of the
• South Huron Economic Develop-
ment Committee and to identify
ways in which help can be provided
in obtaining government assistance.
The study will go through three
stages. First, existing economic
studies and ,government literature
will be examined. Second, a de-
tailed survey will be administered
to .the business community. Third
and finally, a full report wil be pre-
pared and presented to senor levels
of government.
'The fust stage is now completed.
The committee encourages loch
businesses to assist in the project by
filling out the survey when they re-
ceive it.

There are 11 pilots with a support staff of 13.1•tinc
planes are in the air for each show with two on stand-

fornia and their home base of Moose Jaw.
Their first show is April 24 in Moose law and they

"We still have another two months to keep polishing
the maneuvers," said Tltrgeon.
He said when the planes are in formation they have a
small air space in which to fly.
"If he moves out of position, he has to advise the oth-
er pilots."
'New pilots join the team each year and they are put
througha training program.
"We're basically a public relations tool for the Cana-
dian Forces and for Canada."
