The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-03-18, Page 6• PAGE 6--GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1981 airport terminal ma be reality soon BY JOANNE BUCHANAN A terminal may be built at Goderich Municipal Airport sooner than anticipated. At an airport committee meeting March 10, Lloyd Atfield, Dick Le Van and Jack Goodall, representing Western Air Services, presented a proposal for the construction of an 80 foot by 60 foot hangar with an office attachment at one end. Le Van stated that the company would prefer to' build the office part of the hangar with a terminal for the town included. He suggested that Western Air' Services could build, the facility and then rent space within it to -the town or that the'•town could pay for a' portion of the facility right from the beginning and have a permanently located terminal there. Le Van said the hangar would be built so that it could be expanded if theneed arises. The estimated cost for construction 'is $100,000 for thehangar and $60,000 for the office portion. The company hopes to have the building completed by this summer. It is felt that once completed, the weather teletype could also he moved there. Western Air Services, which includes airplane maintenance service, charter service and a flying school, presently operates out of an office in a small building at the airport owned by -the town with maintenance being done in a small hangar owned by -Allan Ball. The new facility • would be constructed very close to the present office but slightly to the north and:east of it. Once the new facility is com- pleted, the old one would be torn down. est"rn Air Services is also hoping to Work out a lo term lease for the land on which the proposed new facility is to be built. The airport committee has formed a sub- committee to discuss and work out terms with While Goderieh Township Reeve Grant Stirling Snips the riibon to officially open the new township hall last Saturday, he had help from a .number of dignataries, including, left to right, councillor Pat Osborne, former deputy -reeve Grant Stirling, : Jack Van Egmond represented the benefactors, the Woon family, councillor Walter Mcllwain, councillor' Chester Sturdy, deputy -reeve Jake Rede', and treasurer Ben Whitely.

But should public support force the government to changetheir stance, the public would end up paying extra for some of the satellite stations. He said the CRTC will eventually find out about the "new" -stations and order him to shut down the receiver, but until then he says he wants to, give the people a taste of what's available. Mr. Stinson said he is seeking letters of support on the matter to, present to the Francis Fox, federal minister of communications, who are responsible for the CRTC. -Thanks for support Dear Editor: , On behalf of 'the Ontario UNICEF Committee, UNICEF Canada and the many UNICEF children around the world, I would like to extend thanks to the people of Ontario for their most generous support of UNICEF's work in 1980. ' I would also like to extend UNICEF's sincere gratitude to those representatives of the Ontario media who sup- ported the efforts of our many volunteers so effec- tively, throughout the past year. Once again, the people of our province have responded with concern and generosity to our fund-raising appeal at Hallowe'en and through the purchase of UNICEF greeting cards during the year. As a result of this generosi- ty, $414,542 has been raised to date from the annual Hallowe'en for UNICEF col- lections and we are op- timistic that' we will reach our goal of $450,000 from our greeting card sales across Ontario. These contributions, when matched, by the federal government 'through the Canadian International Development Agency ( CIDA) ,will multiply to ap- proximately $1,800,000 -- monies which will go far in providing safe Water sup- plies, improved nutrition, health care and educational programs for millions of children in the developing countries of our world. As we move into the 1980s, we are becoming mores-. aware of the in- terdependence of all people - and the impact we each t can make. Through their contributions to UNICEP, the people of Ontario have helped to provide a brighter future for many children around the world. We thank you and look forward to your continuing support. Sincerely yours, Maggie Smiley, Chairman Western Air Services for the new facility proposal. This- sub -committee is composed of airport com- mittee chairman Dick Wright, Goderich Reeve Don Wheeler, and airport committee member Bill Finnie with secretary Ken Hunter and airport co-ordinator Ed Scruton to act as resource persons. They `will make a - reeonunendation to the' airport committee which will in turn make a recommendation to town council. There are four choices? open for recom- mendation. These are: 1)that no terminal for the town be built at present; 2) that the town build its own terminal at a future date without involvement from Western AirServtices; 3) that the town rent space for a terminal in the new facility 'proposed by Western Air Services; or 4)that the town pny for a share of Western's new facility and establish a permanent terminal there. Hunter estimates that the town's share for the inclusion of a terminal within the proposed facility could amount to approximately $24,000.
