Town supports bid for. licene When commercial fisherman Ron Moody appeared before the Ontario Fish and Game Board in Toronto Wednesday to request a licence to trawl for smelt and alewives on Lake Huron, he took with him the support of Goderich town council. Council voted unanimously in favor of supporting Moody's bid for a trawling licence after a special meeting Friday. • Council entertained submissions from Moody and Blake Evans of the Ministry of Natural Resdurces before voting in favor of endorsing Moody's bid to secure a trawling licence. Earlier in the week, council had asked the parks and waterfront committee to deal with a letter from the Maitland Valley Anglers Association, which registered concerns and objections to the licence ap- plication. In the letter, association president Fred Salter said the reliance of smelt as a forage food for salmonid and that trawling would deplete the supply. A depleted food supply would make the waters off Goderich less attractive for salmon. Salter said the local economy has been COMPLETE WITH INSTALLATION Csamsmr.

The removal of smelt and alewives, the letter says, would have an adverse effect on the fish population and subsequently, the economy of Goderich. Moody, on the other hand, said that many local jobs would be created if he was granted a trawling licence. "No-one does it (trawls) on Lake Huron and it could be lucrative, a whole new in- dustry for the town that could involve 100 people," he said. "At least ten would be involved at the start to get the thing rolling. It could be big and it could be good for the town. There are lots of markets for the product in the United States and Japan." Moody, owner of Captain Fats, is alredy involved in a commercial fishing business and has a processing plant at the harbour. That plant would have to be expanded if the licence is granted. "We would have to enlarge the building and get new machines to process smelt," he said. "There's more than enough in Lake Huron and in fact there is an over abun- dance of alewives tl pt will die off if we don't do something. If the licence is granted we would start trawling in the new year." Blake Eveans of the Ministry, who ap- peared at the council meeting to provide background information on commercial fishing said the ministry conducted .ex- ploratory trawling on Lake Huron in 1967 and again in 1981. "It proved that there are smelt in the lake but it was a short-term experiment and the results were not conclusive enough to in- dicate the numbers would support a smelt industry," he said. "Trawling may also have some impact en existing non -target species ( whitefish and chub)." The Ministry had refused to isssue Moody a trawling licence for Lake Huron before and Evans said four main reasons were detailed in a report issued after the hearing. While Moody will appear before the Ontario Fish and Game Board, the board can only forward a recommendation on the ap- plication to Minister James Pope. Pope will make the final decision on the licence. The Ministry of Natural Resources will be represented at the - hearing by Regional Specialist Robert Loblaw of London. Board likes idea of outdoor education The Huron County Board of Education likes the idea of an outdoor education pro- gram, but wants the Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority (MVCA) to supply the facilities. Approval in principle was given to the concept of an outdoor education program at Wawanosh Valley Conservation Area at the board's Nov. 7 meeting. The board is suggesting to MVCA that an overnight facility be developed at the con- servation area, rather than just a day -use area. Director of education Robert Allan noted that a day -use area would not be as appeal- ing to many schools because they are close to areas where outdoor studies can be done. Doubts about the potential cost to the board for development of facilities at the Wawanosh were raised by several trustees. "We (the board) are not making any deci- sions regarding the camp. All we are doing is allowing the conservation authority tot develop an area we might use," said educa- tion committee chairman Joan Vanden Broeck, reassuring trustees that the board wouldn't have to pay to haye the area developed. Mrs. Vanden Broeck added that the fee schedule should be competitive enough to make it affordable to students. Camp Sylvan, operated by the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA), is used by many classes in Huron County and has affordable rates. Superintendent of pro- gram, Bob McCall said there is a $75 fee per class paid to ABCA to co-ordinate the out- door education program at Camp Sylvan plus a $26 per student fee for three days which includes meals. Mr. McCall added that MVCA is ap- proaching the Huron -Perth Separate School Board and the Perth County Board of Education to see if they are interested in us- ing the proposed facility. Originally MVCA asked the board of education to pay for material to develop the site at an estimated cost of $4,500. The con- servation authority proposed to renovate a barn located on the site to provide 'a classroom and storage area plus construct improved washroom facilities.
