atepayers executive discuss
beach problerns at meeting
President Jim Kalbfleisch
presided for the meeting of
the executive of the Port
Albert Ratepayers
Association on Sunday,
August 2 at 2 pari. at his
residence.
Several items on the
agenda came up for
discussion. They included a
Complaint regarding a power
boat coming too close to
shore and endangering the
lives of the swimmers.
Geoff Latin, a resident of
the village, spoke to the
executive about the need for
a life guard on the beach. A
resident of the beach area
for many years, stated that
this past civic holiday
weekend was one of the
busiest the beach had ex-
perienced
xperienced in many years. It
was the feeling of the
executive however, that a
life guard was not necessary
at this time.
The beavers, it seems,
have- been chopping down
trees. However, the damage
has been minor so, for the
time being, the beavers will
be given a reprieve.
Erosionof the banks of the
Nine Mile River is no doubt
one of the greatest problems
facing the executive of the
Port Albert Ratepayers
Association. That problem
and other items will appear
on the agenda as the new
executive hold their first
meeting August 25.

Petition
Many area residents have
signed a petition opposing
the old airport property
being used as a go-kart
track. Opposition is so strong
that Reeve Warren Zinn has
called a special meeting to
be held at Ashfield Township
Hall at 61,30 p.m. August 4.
At a previous council
meeting dealing with the go-
kart request, about 50
residents were in attendance
and it is expected that many
mare will be in attendance
for the Augu st 4 meeting.
George Lonsbary,, s retary-treasurer of the Goderich Police Association, turned over a
cheque for $714.48 to Goderich Fire Chief Bill Beacom recently. The money will be put
towards the purchase of extrication equipment known as 'The Jaws of Life'. This equipment
can be used for prying wrecked cars apart at accident scenes. The police donation was
raised through a private citizen's donation and a Sorority donation matched by their own. So
far, the firemen have about $2,200 of the $4,000 needed for the equipment which is on order
and should arrive sometime this month. More,donations are welcome. (Photo by Joanne
