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.

"If council wasworth a certain amount

he said.
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
