HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1986-09-24, Page 5Commjttee wants people for theatre group Dear Editor: For almost a year now, the Clinton Arts Committee has been wrestling with a rather ambitious task: to promote the arts and culture in our community. In this regard, we have been entrusted with organizing cultural events which take place -in our new town hall facilities. The recently announced Subscription Series is evidence of our efforts to make use of a fine facility while at the same time providing professional calibre entertainment at a bargain price for members of the Clinton and area communi- ty. Another attempt to meet our mandate has been an effort to organize a local amateur theatre group. In the past five years I have been involved in a number of student theatrical produc- tions at the high school. In each case, the public gave their kind and enthusiastic sup- port. After each production, it never failed but that I was approached by an "adult" who expressed dismay that such oppor- tunities were not available to them when they attended school. With this in the back of my mind, it seemed only natural that the Arts Committee should try to establish a local amateur theatre group for adults. To date, however, the response to our attempts has not been overwhelming. In a community of our size with a strong theatrical tradition in the area, one might predict that we would have no trouble at- tracting amateur actors and stage crew Clinton will have 5 years ago September 16, 1981 Clinton Will Have Standards Bylaw - Clin- ton has set a property standards bylaw, however it will not come into full effect until it has received final approval from the ministry of housing. The proposed bylaw states that the town will strive to conserve, maintain and keep safe, buildings and property within the town limits. When it comes into effect, the town will appoint a property standards officer to enforce the regulations and a property Stan- • dards committee will be selected to hear ap- peals and study cases regarding the bylaw. Councillor Quits Seat - Clinton Council member George Rumball has resigned from town council. At a meeting last week, it was learned that Councillor Rumball would be resigning because of conflicting meeting nights. Coun- cil accepted his resignation with regret. Seaforth OPP Office To Be Closed October 1- The Seaforth detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police will close Oct. 1 when Goderich OPP will assume its function. "It seems impersonal and that's a shame, but it (Seaforth) is not a viable operation in terms of economics and administration;" says Cpl. John Dadds, press liaison officer with OPP Toronto. "It's very seldom we close a detachment because people in a community become attached to it." 10 years ago September 16, 1976 Barking, Meowing Now Illegal - Letting your dog bark half the night could cost you up to a $1,000 fine in Clinton, following ap- proval of a noisy dog and bird bylaw at Clin- ton Council Monday night. The bylaw says that no person shall allow any animal or bird to make a sound that con- tinues for more than half an hour between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m., and they could be pro- secuted if the dog or cat howls more than 15 minutes between 10 at night and 8 the next morning. Annexation Issue Dies Vanastra Won't Join - The annexation of Vanastra and a large piece of Tuckersmith Township seems to have died a natural birth, the News - Record has ascertained from a regular Clin- ton Council meeting last Monday night. A special meeting between Clinton and Tuckersmith Councils, set for last Tuesday night, was cancelled until after the municipal elections in early December, and neither council seems to have much en- thusiasm for the move. Building Permits Raise Ruckus - After considerable debate, and a recorded vote, Clinton Council last Monday night backed members. Yet, after two 'public meetings, we have had barely a dozen interested peo- ple declare their support for such a venture. We need more - we need you! It is our hope to present a comedy, "Keeping down with the Jones's", sometime before Christmas. To all the shy souls out there who have ' secretly wanted to perform on stage or to lend their talents behind the scenes - let's all take a risk! Support your Arts Committee in theirr endeavour to organize a local amateur theatre group in Clinton. Come to a meeting on Monday, September 29 in the town hall at 7:30 p.m. Stephen Oliver Member of the Clinton Arts Committee standards bylaw Early Files clown from taking legal action against per- sons in town who begin construction without a building permit. In what has been a first under the town's building inspection bylaws, council decided not to prosecute Huron Pines Construction for starting a house on Ontario Street without first obtaining a permit from the town, or a septic tank permit from the Huron County Health Unit. 25 years ago September 14, 1961 More Houses Are Urgently Need; Council To Act - On the urging of Councillor Walter C. Newcombe, the council of the Town of Clinton will take action towards obtaining more rental homes for the town under the Dominion -Provincial scheme of subsidizing houses. Mr. Newcombe had undertaken a survey of the town since the August meeting of council, and has arrived at the decision that 55 homes at least should be built in the very near future. Since the building of the St. Joseph's Separate School, indications are that at least 20 more families would live in Clinton, if they could find a place to live. New 8 -Lane Alleys Opened Last Night - An estimated 300 people enjoyed the cool at- mosphere in the Clinton Automatic Bowling Lanes last night and laughed with Gordie Tapp as he presented his famed Cousin Clem routine. Hit of the evening was a game bowled by Gordie Tapp and Johnny Brent, sportscaster at CKNX Wingham. The new lanes for which sod was first turned in June, still have some work to be done about the outside in the way of land- scaping, but the inside is nearly completed. The air-conditioned building is equipped with acoustic tile ceiling which muffles the noise inevitable with the setting of pins. Hospital Board Accepts A. Knights Resignation - Arthur M. Knight, member of the Clinton Hospital Board for a number of years, and a former chairman of that group, has resigned, effective immediately. Mr. Knight gave as his reason the fact that he has added reponsibilities in his position as manager of the Ontario Hydro rural operating area at Clinton since the area was enlarged at the first of the month. Members of the board are appointed for a three year term. Mr. Knight's term would have been up in February of 1962. His resignation was accepted by the board Mon- day night. 50 years ago September 17, 1936 Thanksgiving Day Is On Monday Oct. 12 - Thanksgiving Day this year will be celebrated on Monday, October 12. Up until last year, Thanksgiving Day had been observed on the second Monday in October for several years, but the federal elections of 1935 caused the date to be set on Thurs- day, October 24. The change from Monday to Thursday resulted in representations being made to the department of state, which has the responsibility of defining the date. H. and S. Club Holds Reception - The usual reception for the teachers of the public school and of the collegiate of which there are three, two on the public school staff and one on the collegiate, was held by the Home and School Club in the collegiate auditorium on Tuesday evening, when there was a good attendance. The auditorium was handsomely decorated with autumn flowers and presented a very attractive appearance. The Usual Experience - A Stratford man who grows huge vegetables tells of obtain- ing directions from a woman who appeared to him in a vision as he slept. Most of us who do any backyard gardening have been driven to it by a woman who appeared in broad daylight. 75 years ago September 14, 1911 One Of The Prettiest - Mr. R. Harvey of Vaughan Township, who has been address- ing public meetings in the riding the past week, was in town all day yesterday and in conversation with the News -Record said that Clinton is one of the neatest asnd pret- tiest country towns he has yet seen. He was particularly impressed with our water- works system and our superior streets. Another Reduction - The Clinton Knitting Co. have been allowed a further reduction of insurance on their factory and contents of ten per cent by the Canadian Fire Under- writers. This is in consequence of the superior system of fire protection which the town now enjoys. Everybody Admired Its -The display made at the Toronto and London Exhibitions by the Doherty Piano and Organ Company was much admired by the thousands who visited the building in which it was located. It was exceedingly creditable and was evidence enough that Clinton's biggest industry turns out a class of work that is unexcelled. And so do all our itylustries but that's matter for another pa agraph. Plans underway for Clinton's Spring Fair CLINTON - The Ladies Division of the Gltn- ton Spring Fair board held their first meeting of the fall to begin making ar- rangements for Clinton's 1987 Spring Fair. There was a fairly good attendance at the September 16 meeting with two new members attending. The ladies received a lengthy question- naire to complete concerning Clinton's 1986 fair. The questionnaire asked for comments concerning the high points and successes of the fair, as well as the low interest areas of the fair. Upon completion of the questionnaire, the ladies then set the next meeting date for Oc- tober 22 at which they will begin compiling the prize lists for Clinton's up and coming Annual Spring Fair. Bingo held at Bluewater CCB meeting CLINTON - The Bluewater CCB Club held their monthly meeting in the Wesley -Willis United Church Hall on September 16. Following the general meeting, the members enjoyed a few games of bingo and prizes were given to the winners. The Thanksgiving Dinner is being held on October 21 at 6:30 p.m. in the Wesley -Willis United Church Hall. Members who plan to attend should con- tact the secretary -treasurer, Mrs. K. O'Rourke, at 527-1816. This should be done 10 days prior to the dinner.
