Book . arrives
in September
GODERICH TOWNSHIP - A number of
people have enquired about the progress of
the Goderich Township book. It is still at the
'publisher's, and will not likely be available
until late September.
The committee has been working at it con-
(tinuously all year, but each step has taken
Monger than anticipated. Also, a change in
staff at the printers has delayed the pro--
gress somewhat.
The material was all at the printers m
April, but Doug Yeo and Alison Lobb are
still checking the galley proof§ sent back.
Once this work has been completed, the
:printer he to make changes accordingly
and then they have to prepare the Iayouts.
-Only at this stage will the photos be sent
iaway. The actual printing should only take a
few weeks, so it is hoped that copies will be
:available in September. Unfortunately they
cannot promise a definite delivery date.
Please watch your local newspaper for in-
formation regarding picking up your copy.
Pick-up days will be advertised and people
will have to provide their proof of purchase
at that time -either their cancelled cheque
(with the book number on the back) or the
certificate from the order form.

Two residents who live in the area of the
Bluewater Centre for Young Offenders say
they will attend a meeting with the cen-
tre's superintendent Sunday, to discuss
ways to increase their security in light of
three escapes from the centre since it
opened last fall.
The most recent escape last week
resulted in a terrifying experience for
Margaret McHolm and, Jim Walling who
live just south of the centre on Highway 21.
Walling was injuredwhen he attempted
to stop three intruders who were trying to
steal his van on the night of July 16. Wall-
ing said he didn't know at the time they
were young offenders who had escaped
from the centre. He was just trying to stop
three teenage youths from stealing his
van.
One ot the youths swung a baseball bat
at him, striking his hand. He was treated
at hospital for the injury.
Walling said he wouldn't describe the in-
cident as frightening, but "it was ex-
citing". He intends to attend the meeting
with the centre's superintendent Carl.
DeGrandis on Sunday, to see if some form
of advance warning system can be put into
place to inform residents living in the area
that an escape has occurred. Walling said
this could assist police t>ecause neighbours
in the area would be on the lookout and
could report any unusual occurences.
Margaret McHolm was sitting in her
bed reading, on the night of the escape,
when she heard strange noises downstairs.
She woke her husband, Normanho went
to the top of the stairs and notice the kit-
chen and dining room lights were on. As
Margaret was phoning police, her husband
called out "Who's there .. " A male voice
answered "The police." They heard a
flurry and then their car started down the
driveway.
Margaret said the intruders had stolen a
seven inch carving knife and the keys to
the car from her purse.
"It - was a stupid action in going
downstairs," she said. "If they had stood
their ground, we'd both be dead."
Margaret said she dreaded such an oc-
currence when the centre opened. "It's
very upsetting. I've never been so scared
in my life."
She said all of the neighbours in the area
are on edge and some neighbours are
especially concerned about their children.
Margaret said she and her husband have
considerd installing dead bolts on their
doors but they have a sunroom at the back
of the house and it has lots of windows, so
she wonders if stronger locks would stop
anyone who really wanted to get in. She
wonders if neighbours in the area would be
interested in trying a method the British
use to protect their property. Many of the
breweries and distilleries in Britain have
geese° which will not allow anyone in, she
suggested.
Margaret and her husband have had dif-
ficulty sleeping and relaxing since the in-
trusion. "It's really been a trying ordeal."
neighbours of °Bluewater Centre
tion to prevent a saai,ua, u*tura enae, said
DeGrandis who commented he obviously
cannot guarantee another escape will
never occur.
DeGrandis is meeting with the people
who were victimized in the escape last
week and he will be meeting with the cen-
tre's closest neighbours this Sunday, to
give there a first hand opportunity to -ex-
press their concerns and make suggestions
about •what can be done to improve their
security. '
DeGrandis said meeting with the
neigbours who were involved in the in-
cidents on the weekend has already
brought forward a suggestion to form a
telephone pool. In the event an escape oc-
curs, neighbours could be notified by
telephone that offenders are at large and
they should be ready_ to take precautions.
