Despite setbacks, Goderich student
plans to take aid to Haitian slums
BY SUSAN HUNDERTMARK
At the same time that 10 medical
students and a team of doctors from Lon-
don are travelling to Haiti, Mia Dalton and
three other local people will be visiting the
slums of Port au Prince, Haiti.
The Grade 12 student at Goderich and
District Collegiate Institute has been
working on a return trip to Haiti since last
April when she came home from her first
visit to the poorest third world country in
the world with the Canadian Foundation
for World Development.
But, with the overthrow of the Duvalier
regime in Haiti in January, Dalton's been
having a difficult time.
"I sent applications to all the high
schools in the area but I heard the schools
didn't circulate the applications because of
the politicial situation there," she says.
She's also had a few interested people
decide not to accompany her group for the
same reason.
For a while she planned to organize a
trip to another third world country which
could use help. But, after assurances from
the Canadian Foundation for World
Development and from her group leader,
Nancy Moura iri'Mississauga who's been in
touch with theHaitian embassy in Ottawa,
the group decided to go from July 2 to 11.
"A group was down in Haiti during the
worst time in January and they had no pro-
blems at all. The poor people are still try-
ing just to exist and they're who we're in-
terested in helping. We'll be in the slums;
we're not going to spend much time around '
,the palace," says Dalton. •
Pointing to a news article from the
Toronto Star entitled "Rats eating dead
babies in Haiti doctors' strike," Dalton
says it's obvious to her that the poor people
of Haiti need help.
"They really need us down there.
They're begging for a new start," she
says.
The group will take the truckload of
soap, clothes, q -tips, tootbrushes,
toothpaste and cutlery that's been col-
lected throughout the year by area
elementary schools, and service clubs and
church groups in Goderich, Dungannon,
Nile, Auburn and Kincardine.
"The. whole purpose is people to people
aid. Government to government aid
doesn't filter down to the people who need
it most. When we go dowr),there, ,our aid
gets to the right people," She. says. '
Dalton's -group will also be helping to
plant the 100,000 trees which will be
planted between June and August in Haiti
and painting a medical clinic.
Right now, she's asking the people of
Goderich to donate old furniture, cutlery
and dishes for a missionary's house in
Haiti. "That would be such a simple thing
for Goderich to do," she says.
Earlier in the year, Dalton attempted to
convince Goderich town council to twin
with the city bf St. Marc, Haiti and St.
Peter's Roman Catholic Church in
Goderich to twin with a church in St. Marc
but both attempts fell through.
"It's so hard to make this project accep-
• table to everyone," she says.
She is also hoping to raise $8,000 in the
next two months to help to subsidize the
students who wish to travel -to Haiti with
the group. To that end, she is planning
several fundraising events.
Eight people are now slotted to travel
with Mia to Haiti in June. The local people
include Mary Margaret Fuller, Connie
Osborn and Mia's mother Clarice Dalton.
Other .participants include people from
Guelph and Mississauga. • ,
There is still room for four more people,
says Dalton.
• Committee will study shoreline solution
A committee to study long-term solutions
for shoreline management along the Great
Lakes has been appointed by an order -in -
council, Ontario Natural Resources
Minister Vincent Kerrio and Municipal Af-
fairs Minister Bernard Grandmaitre an-
nounced recently. •
The seven .members named to the
Shoreline Management Review Committee
include representatives from provincial and
municipal governments as well as the
general public..
"We can't control extreme water level
fluctuations in the Great Lakes, but we can
work to minimize potential damage to
shoreline homes and properties," said
Kerrio.
"This committee will examine and make
recommendations on options for longterm
shoreline management, as well as look at
the roles and responsibilities of the various
levels of government and of private
landowners."
"The committee will look at the roles of
private and public sector in solving existing
problems, preventing new ones, and pro-
viding emergency assistance in combating
flood and erosion problems." Kerrio said.
"This could entail' determining how
remedial works should be planned to solve
existing problems in built-up areas, and how
better land use planning can help avoid new-
problems."
ewproblems."
The committee is. chaired by James
McGuigan, MPP for Kent -Elgin and
Parliamentary Assistant to Kerrio.
The other members of the committee are
Gord Miller, MPP for Haldimand-Norfolk;
Roger Vermeulen, a councillor for the
township of Delhi; Ray Lavereau, reeve of
the village of Port Stanley; Shannon Olson
of Woodslee, vice-chairman of the Essex
Region Conservation Authority; John
Plyley of Stevensville, a real estate sales
representative; and Reid Kreutzwiser,
.Associate Processor at the University of
Guelph, who has technical expertise in this
field.
"The extensive- damage caused by high
water levels over the past year - especially
along Lake Erie, Lake St. Clair and
southern Lake Huron - has shown us that
short-term relief measures aren't enough,"
said Grandmaitre. "We need to find ways to
prevent this type of damage from
recurring."
The committee will hold a minimum of 12.
public meetings this , summer in com-
munities along the Great Lakes shoreline in
Ontario. The meetings will allow members
of the public who are directly affected by
high water levels to make their concerns
and suggestions known_
Itis anticipated that meetings will be held
in Kingston, Toronto, Wainfleet,' Pott
Dover, Blenheim, Kingsville, Windsor, Sar-
nia, Goderich, Collingwood, Sault Ste. Marie
and Thunder Bay. Dates for these meetings
will be announced within a few weeks.
A report will be prepared by the commit-
tee and submitted to Kerrio and Grand -
maitre in November 1986.
