Because of the dangers and policing pro- blems at the agricultural park, the recrea- tion board passed a motion disapproving of the proposed location at its Mar. 27 meeting. The motion encouraged council to find another location for the BMX jump. Coun. Bill Clifford said the recreation board was passing the buck by asking council to find another location. "We know the BMX track has already received considerable discussion at. this council. The reason we gave it to the recreation board was to find a location," he said. "By the sounds of it, these riders are go- ing to be senior citizens before we find them a jump to practice on," added Coun. Stan Profit. Deputy -Reeve John Doherty said the recreation board did not mean to pass the buck by referring the matter back to council. "We met with the horsemen and they weren't in favor of having the jump there (in the agricultural park). We referred the matter back to council because we're (the recreation board is) not able to buy land," he said. Coun. John Stringer said setting up a BMX jiimp would not make the communi- ty a safer place. "Facing liability insurance premiums as councils do, we have the responsibility to make our community safer. It's not our responsibility to set up such a track," he said. Stringer added that it maybe In the bes interest of council to have a supervised jump since councils who are being sued in the event of an accident should be able to - tell judges they used "prudent forethought" in the situation. Coun. Peter McCauley suggested that the citizens.who want their children to use the BMX jump request another spot which council can then approve or disapprove. Chief King supports act • frompage l , before a judge every so many days. Goderich police must escort the young of- fender from- London to Goderich for the court appearance which often takes about 10 minutes, and then •escopt the offender back to London.. The. cost cannot be reclaimed under a grant if the offender is under 16 years of age, as it is with offenders over age 16, said Chief King. The cost so far has been $4600, said King, which isn't a lot of money but represents a sizeable chunk out of a police budget. Champion of The Hill The. Champion 730A was proudly displayed on Parliament Hill in Ottawa last Wednesday, after Champion Road Machinery Ltd. of Goderich had hosted the closing reception for the Canadian Public Works Association (CPWA) three-day equipment show and conference. The 730A, emblematic of the company's second century of operation as a , wholly-owned Canadian manufacturer, was joined by the "Baby Winner" which was included in the CPWA theme display "Building Our Heritage." Both graders were on display in front of the Parliament Buildings Wednesday afternoon and several political dignitaries, including Minister James Kelleher, were photographed with the machines. The Parliament Hill display was organized by Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff.
