Dianne Bogie: "We go to my aunt's and uncle's house at Signal-Stareditor began eres It has been about three years since the word "Fireball" was introduced to area sailors as a meaningful nautical name. It was atthe prompting of Ron ice; former editor of ,the Goderich Signal -Star, who encouraged a few local salts to study the benefits 'of building a "class" fleet of racing sailboats. The Fireball, ,a sixteen foot racing scow was suggested as the ideal boat. The idea stimulated some thinking among members of the newly -formed • Bluewater Sailing Club. A few of the more ambitious members decided to make the first' move and Lo -cal fire chief give- safety warning "Christmas brings temptations to many parents, while visiting with neighbours or completing last,minute shopping, to leave small children unattended for short periods," says Goderich Fire Chief Ted Bissett. "At the same time decorations, trees and wrapping paper bring an increased- threat of fire danger, unless constant care is exercised," he said,,, • The Fire Chief urges, all parents to recognize the fire danger of this season, and not to leave small children alone in,the home even for a moment. He points out that the Criminal Code of, Canada 'forbids such action which endagners the life or health or any child under the age of ten years. Parents are further reminded that under certain conditions a Christmas tree can be ignited by a single match to burn furiously to --charred wood _in a few seconds. Care must be taken to keep butts of haturai trees, immersed in water, and to ensure that the tree itself does not obstruct access to a door or kuindONKFamitfes at e,a No ntgec to review their''hnlrne fire escape plans, l'or , quick exit in an emergency. • • in I'IreDaii nui construction for several Fireballs began as a• kind of winterworks program, for -several land -locked sailors. Spearheading the movement were: Harold Jeffery, who had gained a reputation for craftmanship in the construction of smaller surfboard sailers; Bert Corbett, a master of freshwater sailing arfd an instructor with the : Goderich Power Squadron; and George Robertson, whose love for windswept waters had encouraged a venture into marine equipment sales. Working as a team, the men, with several others, met together evenings two weekends constructing the Fireball hulls in simple step-by-step procedures. As Spring approached it was most apparent that the Goderich waterfront was soon to be besieged with a half dozen finely -crafted Fireballs. Standing rigging and sails were ordered to complete the hand -worked vessels. Two• summers have gone by. The fleet has not grown in size, but a new interest appears to be swelling. The summer of 1970 found the new additions to the Sunday afternoon races to be -keen competition for ""the heftier daysailers and the larger sailing craft. Handicap, systems were developed 'to help equate time differences and, although the Fireballers didn't always win, you, could count on them reaching•the finish line first. \n'Sailboat racing came into its own at Goderich Harbour in 1971. The Bluewater Sailing Club planned two series of races to run throughout the season. It was not uncommon to see a dozen or fifteen ' competitors each Sunday. Among the entries were always tw'o or three Fireballs. The list 'of winners usually included at least one Fireball helmsman. , The biggest venture undertaken by the fledgling Fireball,. fleet -at Snug" Harbour was the sponsorship of a two-day, three -race regatta. It was a successful weekend with visitors from Stratford, London, Fort Erie and Toronto among the entries, The popularity of the Fireball international scale. The 1972 Worid Championship races are to be held its' 'Toronto. In preparation for this event many Canadian sailors have been polishing their racing skills by entering regattas such" as the one in Goderich this year. The Fireball is a v$ry . strong contender " for the 1976 Olympics, prese•ntly waging strong competition. .against.. the . popularity_of theEnt_erprise and the Snipe which are similar racing craft. Evidence to support this ,, view was. seen at the Canadian Olympic -training Regatta Kingston (CORK) last September, - The Fireballs had the largest fleet with 82 boats entered. Damage to farm posts .....feared Goderich TownsETp Federation of 'Agriculture members were told at a meeting last week in Holmesville that farmers in the .local portion of Huron County might be again facing serious damage to their fences if private bulldozers are again used for snow removal on township roads. John King of Woodstock, who is a recently' elected director,of the Ontario Federatioof Agriculture, spoke to the group and discussed the serious amount of damage suffered by township farmers last winter. tSome eight to 10 farmers who suffered loss because of the probiem,have still not been able to collect compensation from their insurance. It was reported that one farmer suffered damage of $800 to his property. - Because of heavy -snow last year the township council had engaged three privately :owned bulldozers to remove especially heavy piles of snow. The county farm group, as well as, the Ontario Federation, have been making an effort to help the Goderich Township farmers, collect on their claims " and the spakesmarrstressed-tha wa'tryino t poine :qtr, 0,tf; farmers that the same thing might well happen again this winter. .. ping On the provincial scale it has been suggested by The Canadian Fireball Association that the 1972 Ontario Fireball Championships might be held in Belleville. The site will be chosen early in the new year, however; and there are 'a few local enthusiasts, •who • would • like' 'to' see the, Ontario finals held in' Goderich, on Lake Huron.
