It took two recorded votes for Goderich
council to decide' to give St. Peter's
Cemetery a grant of $4,000, the same
amount it granted the cemetery in the 1985
budget.
Before it was clear that an ad-
ministrative mistake resulted in the
cemetery being granted half of its request
or $2,000 for 1986, a 4-3 recorded vote
defeated the motion to table the issue with
Reeve Harry Worsell, Coun. Jim Searls
and Coun. Glen Carey voting Yea and
Coun. Bill Clifford, Coun. Peter McCauley,
Deputy -Reeve John Doherty and Mayor
Eileen Palmer voting Nay.
Carey asked whether $2,000 or $4,000 was
budgeted for the cemetery for 1986 adding,
"If we were to pass this, we should bring in
a motion that everything cut in budget.cuts
should be reinstated."
Clifford explained that the $4,000 was not
cut down to $2,000 during budget cuts but
that in error $2,000 was listed as the
cemetery's request and approved as such.
Clerk -Administrator Larry McCabe
checked and found Clifford's explanation
to be correct.
The first vote was recinded and another
recorded vote then made 5-2 in favor of
payingthe $4,000.
Voting Yea were Reeve Harry Worsell,
Coun. Bill Clifford, Coun. Peter McCauley,
Deputy -Reeve John Doherty and Mayor
Eileen Palmer. Voting Nay were Coun.
Jim Searls and Coun. Glen Carey. Absent
were Coun. Stan Profit and Coun. John
Stringer.
Meet with ombudsman
• from page 1
"He seemed to think we have to go to the
top," she said.
Galbraith said Virck and Kagen were
polite and nice but they made no concrete
suggestions on how to get action. She
believes reporting their complaints to the
powers that be should help.
She feels the correctional program at the
centre should be stiffened.. It should be a
course of training like the army which
adds some discipline to the lives of the
young offenders. "We have all this equip-
ment and staff and if there is going to be
correction, you have to do something." She
pointed out that while a secondary school
program and teachers are provided at the
centre, attending school is not compulsory.
";(Virck) said you have to motivate and
you have to make the young offender want
to do something," said Galbraith, "but
they still have to learn that if you break the
rules you have to pay the consequences."
Pat Osborne observed that the centre
does not comply with the zoning, institu-
tion
1 and the zoning should have been
changed before the government converted
the facility for its new purpose.
Osborne, a former Goderich Township
councillor, said if the proper planning pro-
cedures had been followed, neighbours
would have been notified and they would
have had the opportunity to object to the
use of the facility for such a purpose before
it was implemented.
Here we are trying to teach young of-
fenders what is right, when the govern-
ment can do what it wants, even if they. are
not right, observed Osborne.

prevent escapes and he wonders what will
happen when the maximum security wing
opens and the offenders are rapists and
murderers.
"We've got to be a bit realistic. We have
to put the offenders somewhere, but 1
would feel better if security was increased
and the maximum security wing was
stopped.
"The offenders.there now onlya t to
ot
steal a car and be gone when they g
When they bring in rapists and murderers
(and they escape,) they may have other
things on their mind."
Elizabeth Virck, the investigator from
the Ontario Ombudsman's office who at-
tended the meeting, said it is her function
to get input from the citizens, hear their
concerns and see if there is any way the
Ombudsman can help them. She said it
was a good meeting. She is pleased they
were able to discuss the residents' con-
cerns and they were attentive to what she
and her colleague, Kagen had to say.
Virck said the residents are still con-
cerned about their safety and what steps
are being taken to help them.
Virck said certain aspects of what the
residents want to do including closing the
centre and stopping the location of a max-
imum security wing in this facility are not
within the Ombudsman's jurisdiction. The
Ombudsman has no authority to in-
vestigate decisions made by the crown, ex-
ecutive council or municipal boards.
Virck said she is unable to comment on
what action the Ombudsman can take or
what she will recommend to him because
it would breach confidentiality.

Optimist Club President, Mike Gibbs, and member, Keith McLean inspect the damage to
the hydro and storage building in the Optimist Park. Over the weekend, vandals used a rock
to breach the wall, marking the third time that such action has been taken. Repair costs
have amounted to $1000, a sum which the Optimists feel would be better directed toward
their youth -oriented projects. (photo by Paul Hartman)
Vandals cause $800 damage
to Optimists' building
Goderich Optimist Club members have
had enough
On Monday, club members discovered
that their building in the Optimist Park by
the Maitland River had been vandalized. A
rock had been used to pound a hole through
the wall. This marks the third time that the
building walls have been damaged since the
summer began. ,
Twice before, in July and August, the
walls of the structure were breached. The
roll -roofing that was recently installed has
been partially ripped off. As well, paint has
been splattered over the walls, parts of the
structure have been singed by fire and gar-
bage has been spread over the area. Labor
and material costs to repair the damage ap-
proach $1000

There are no valuables in the building,
nothing that could be taken and used or sold.
The vandals simply do their damage and
leave. The building is used for hydro pur-
poses and club President Mike Gibbs ex-
plains that anyone rooting around in the
building in the dark faces a possible elec-
trocution hazard.
Gibbs notes that the money used to fix the
building could be going toward the youth -
oriented projects in the, town which the Op-
timists regularly raise funds for. These in-
clude minor soccer, minor hockey, ringette
and children's aid.
The club held a meeting on Monday night
to discuss plans of action to deal with the '
vandalism. Club members will be making
regular weekend checks on the structure to
ensure that no further damage is done.
