BOARD
BRIEFS
Appointment.
Bob Dempsey has been named to the
vacant seat on the hospital board.
Dempsey was serving on the board as
one of two provincial representatives
appointed by the province when the
hospital was in some financial difficulty.
Gerry Ginn of Goderich Township, is
the other provincial rep.
Their terms expire later this year, and
it is not known for certain if provincial
representation will continue on the
board. -
Dempsey has become so actively in-
volved with the board, especially the
upcoming building project, membs
were pleased to appoint him to a regular
position without provincial implications.

In last week's Signal -Star
the Agure of MO feet was
given in relation to noise
from stereo sets, etc. I wish
to point out that there is no
minimum distance quoted in
the Noise By -Law. The 200 '
feet was merely used as an
example of when a com-
plaint might likely be made.
I bad a couple of calls from
citizens who wanted
clarification on whether a

However, we expect people
to be reasonable in this

be disturbing. We would not

Power lines concern farmers
Dear Editor:
Farm organizationa in
Huron County have formed a
working group to coordinate
involvement by the
agricultural community at
Ontario Hydro's hearings
on Electrical Power Mann--ngiuthwesternOntario.-Ontario Hydro has releas-
ed its proposals as to public
involvement in the selection
of five proposed routes for a
500 K.V. line to connect

southwestern Ontario grid.

ed mainly to export surplus
power to the U.S. and

just a few of the concerns the

• We wish to point out that
the Public Participation pro-
cedures outlined in the June
8,1001, backgreourd informa-
tion on the southwestern On-
tario Working groups do not
conform to the Porter Com-
mission's recommendations,
specifically recommenda-
tion 6.3 in several crucial
areas:
(a) The most affected
citizens seem least
represented,
(b) The chairmen of the
working groups are being
selected by Ontario Hydro
and not by the working
groups
(e) The procedures, agen-
das, --etc.''—have---all- -bet—

without citizen participation
or approval.
We find the current pro-
• posal unacceptable, and
believe the procedure should
be revised as to conform
with The Porter Commis-
sion's reconimendations as
to these proceedings.
We also find the timing of
the Public Participation pro-
• cess absurd if public par-
ticipation is truly desired.
After a long delay in its
release it has been scheduled
in the busiest time in the
farm calendar. It will also

Goderich flag - it. is flying
proudly and will be for this
Goderich Week in Toronto.
Last evening we toured the
exhibit and we congratulate
the two young ambassadors,
Jane Smith and Cameron
McGuire. They are doing an
excellent job. The whole
display is interesting, in
very good taste and to us, ex-
citing nostalgia!

1. In the history section,
we missed hearing about Dr.

2. In the Quality of life

Son 'lucky"' t
Dear Editor:
In letters to the Editor in
last week's issue, Mrs. Pat
Wheeler was complaining
about her son not getting a
certain job with the town. I
think she is lucki to have one
son working for the town (let
alone two). There are lots of
students wanting jobs in
town but have no one on
library.
When the Tourism Com-
mittee does this project
again please zero in on the
cultural - features of
Goderich. Sunnestions would
be: the Laketown Band, Hat-
bouraires, the Irla Stewart
Singers, the Goderich Little
Theatre doing skits 'about
Goderich and Huron County

MacLaren's song "Around
the Square" on a record! '
Toronto people are slowly

of this very well as there are
other elections coming up.
