Jim Searis, chairman of the environment commit- tee of council, says the town contributes more to salt pollution by dumping it on the roads in winter adding that he has received several complaints about the ex- cessive use of road salt. "'-I have had -no. . complaints about. the open storage. of salt and the town puts more salt on the roads in winter," he said. "The road salt ends up in the sewer system and gets into the lake." Snow that is removed from town street and parking areas around The Square is piled up at the waterfront and road salt ends up in the lake Searis claims. "The town should clean up its own act first before it .goes after industry," he said. "The town is, doing more harm." The Ministry of the Environment has monitors along- the lake bank and readings are sent to the Lon- don office. Searls says the readings would show a large concentration of salt or grain dust in the air and if anyone wanted the information they -could simply call London and get a report. "We want to tell industry what to do but we can do a lot ourselves," he said. "If council wants to know what is going on they can just call the mine and elevator and have a meeting 'with them. They can tell us what's going on and we don't have to call the Ministry all the time." • At the request of the waterfront committee the Ministry of Environment is monitoring a pile of salt Stored on the north pier at the harbour. Councillor Elsa Haydon said complaints were received about the open storage practice and she requesteda written report from Ministry officials on possible pollution. The ministry will monitor the situation but recent readings -indicate there is no substantial concentra- tion of salt in the lake water. Town applies for program.. •from page 1 Katimaviks first projects started in 1977 when 1,000 young people participated in 30 projects in 49 com- munities. Last year 1,089 participants worked on 33 projects tit 78 communities across Canada. The groups of young Canadians will be directly involved with community work. Two-thirds of the participants will. -be involved with physicalwork projects that will be of lasting benefit to the com- munity and that will take up 75 per cent of their weekly work time. The other 2-5 per cent Of the work week is spent assisting schools,•hospitals, institutions and other non-profit community organizations. The group's accommodation has ranged from farm houses, cabins, vacant schools, .church basements or whatever is available in the host community. The town must provide productive, stimulating work for the Katimavik groups for nine months. the projects must be of educational value and offer op- portunities for learning manual skills. Naturally, the projects must reflect the needs of the community, the work must not take jobs away from others, the work must be related to the nature of the locality and participants must be given the op- portunity to billet with a local family for a period of two or threeweeks. If the Goderich application is accepted, 22 young people from across Canada will be working and living in the community, completing projects for the benefit of the area. MVCA gets grants for flood warning system... • from page 1 Atwood, at Wtngham, at Donnybrook .near Auburn, . Bihel, Beelgrave, Blyth, Sumnieriiiil and a gauge at Benmiller at the most easterly point., - The system will be phased inbeginning with the easterly section of the watershed, where flooding is a problem and then gradually move west. The gauges at Blyth and Benmiller will be installed during the final phase of the implementation process in 1984. • - "It is a five-year program and the system is most' ' needed in the critical flood plain -areas near Listowel and Wingham," Howard explained. "It will give us the ability to predict peak flows or flooding with the computer translating data. The Saugeen Authority uses a similar system and it works well." The Provincial government is also planning a new weather radar station in the Exeter area and the MVCA will be able to hook into the weather station. "If there are any significant storm warnings or if substantial rainfall is .expected we will have that information from the radar station," Howard said. "With that we can predict water flows in the critical areas and have advanced warning." The MVCA now uses staff gauges at three locations but it is a primitive method of data collection, "We weren't actually sure of water levels until the water rose but this system will record continuously 'arid we will know what to expect,"' Howard said. "The first vhese prolect_will begin this year with the installation of recording gauges in Listowel; Harriston, Bluevale and Lucknow. The MVCA will also be involved in developing the first phase of a forecast model for' the river system. Installation of the first phase of the flood warning system will begin in June.

The students have set a target of $20,000 this year to go towards the completion of the $85,000 second phase of the sports complex across from the school on Ben- nett Street. Fund-raising chairman, teacher Lynn Meyers hopes that most of the school will participate in the four events that will he held on the afternoon of May 4: There mill be a 10 kilometer jog-a-walk-a-thon, a bike-a-thon on the track, a roller-skate-a-thon at the arena, and a car wash at the school. Meyers has also invited Grade 7 and 8 students of St. Mary's and Robertson to participate in the fund- raisers. The students need to raise about $40,000 for the rub- berized track surface, fence, and soccer goal posts, with the rest coming from grants from service clubs and hopefully Wintario. Meyers says that the project could be completed during the summer of 1982, although he remains optimistic that funds can be gathered faster.
