Clinton News-Record, 1986-10-15, Page 2Page 2—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1986 Municipalities should provide input By Alan Rivett In light of the constant vandalism at Tiger Dunlop's Tomb near Goderich, Huron County Council has passed a motion to look into the possibility of moving the site. At the council meeting on October 2, Claus Breede, the director. of the Huron County Pioneer Museum which is respon- sible for the upkeep of the site, said the vandalism has been a ongoing problem at the historical site north' of Goderich. He reported that two of the reinforced concrete benches at the site have been destroyed and the flag stolen from the pole as well as steel cables which stretch along the posts in the parking area removed from their mounts. Also, he said the equivalent of two cases of beer bottles are routinely removed from the tomb site. "The steel cable guard rails in the park- ing lot are constantly being removed which means we should put in steel railing which is more durable. As for the concrete benches, it appears like someone took the labor and the time to slash at the benches with a sledgehammer. "Even though we've re -designed the flag pole where it would take a 40 -foot ladder to reach the flag, it is still being stolen," Mr. Breede told council: He emphasized that his request to coun- cil is only to investigate the possibility of moving the site and not to take immediate action. Colborne Township Reeve Russell Ker- nighan concurred with the motion, stating that the historical site is as important to the outlying municipalities as it is to Goderich. If council decides to move the site, he said that neighboring municipalities should be involved in the decision "I can see the advantages and disadvan- tages of moving the tomb. But, I think council should be very careful about the decision and I think the area municipalities should be involved in it," said Mr. Kernighan. In the interim, Mr. Breede says he has contacted the Goderich Detachment of the OPP and has assurances that the police will make more frequent checks on the site. Facilitator training offered Women Today is now full swing into the Women Being Well Project. This is a project funded by the Health Promotion Directorate of Health and Welfare Canada. One main endeavour in this project is to of- fer a free facilitator training course which runs for 6-8 weeks beginning with a Friday evening and Saturday session. Women taking this course will gain skills in organizing and establishing groups as well as knowledge and resources in contemporary womens health issues. KIM ECHTEL Following the course, trainees will receive support from Women Today's ProgramCCoor- dinator, Marg Crane in preparation and research into their particular area of interest. Some funding is available to the trained facilitators to get their groups established.

KUENZIG FOOD MARKET CLINTON About 25 students from the school par- ticipated in the Pro Life Walk-a-Thon on Oc- tober 4. The 16 km. run or walk was from Godericleto Clinton, or vice versa. They set out at 8 a.m. and at 11:30 a.m. it began rain- ing. The people who finished the walk in the rain deserve a lot of credit. All those who took part really believe in what they are do- ing to stop abortion. Sandra VanderWal, Grade 8. Read-a-Thon The students are busy reading. For seven weeks they are in a read-a-thon to earn money for sets of the World Book En- cyclopedia. Seven weeks of reading, seven books and seven sponsors per book is each student's goal. This will raise $24.50 to help pay for a classroom set. Medals can be earned for reading more. Tricia Bos, Grade 6. Thanksgiving Assembly On October 10 a festive mood was in the school.
