Ford attended his first practice on Monday night at the Goderich high school. (photo by Susan Hundertmark) New conductor for band The first principal trumpet player with Orchestra London from 1946 to 1985 will be the new conductor of the Goderich Laket own Band. Jinn Ford, who resigned last spring from Orchestra London, says he's heard the Goderich band before and is always in- terested in helping community bands. "We're going, to try it out, see if we like each other arid see -if We' can make it hap- pen. But, it's been a while since I waved a baton," he says. With the rising popularity of music pro- grams in high schools, the community band is often going by the wayside. "The Goderich band is rather unique," he says. Ford also has experience with communi- ty bands in St. Marys, Exeter and Watford. Originally from Stratford, he's worked at the' Stratford Festival for the last four years, has been a chairman of the faculty of music at the. University of Western On- tario for 19 years and has been a director of the Ontario Youth Music -Camp for 10 year's. "He's a very high profile musician in Western Ontario and we're thrilled to have him," says Gary Sholdice. C ounciilor prote,sts raise A raise of four per cent in the remunera- tion for Goderich council, members was protested by Coun. Jim Searls at council's Feb. 10 meeting. "Some councillors in cities make $500 less than our councillors. I don't feel coun- cil should be included every time the employees have a raise," he said. Coon. Bill Clifford defended the raise saying a random sample of seven other municipalities of similar size showed that Goderich councillors received well below the average remuneration. "There are always the same com- munities ahead of us every year," replied Searls. Coun. John Stringer said the increase of four per cent only compensated for infla- tion.

Coun. Glen Carey said he'd agree with Searls if he said councillors should get no remuneration at all. "We should either get nothing or a raise;" said Carey. The remuneration proposed for 1986 is $8,937.35 for the mayor and $4,468.68 for the reeve, deputy -reeve and councillors. A recorded vote carried the motion 6-2. Voting in favor were Mayor Eileen Palmer, Reeve Harry Worsell, Coun. Clif- ford, Coun. Stringer, Coun. Peter Mc- Cauley and Coun. Glen Carey. Voting against the motion were Coun.
