GODE RICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY. MAY 19,1977—PAGE 7
OUInCil still hedging
A two-page list of un-
finished business, some of it
dating back to 1976,.. was
handled Monday evening by
members of Goderich Town
Council. One item from
December,1976, was brought,
back to council, that being a
request from the Architec-
tural Conservation Advisory
Committee to have all
demolition permits on The
Square referred to the
committee for recom-
mendation to council prior to
the issuance of the ap-
propriate permit.
Councillor Elsa Haydon,
council's representative on
the committee, made the
motion but received no
seconder for it.
Councillor Dave Gower
asked just what authority the
Architectural Conservation
Advisory Committee has over
such matters. He was told
that as a committee of town
council, appointed in the
regular fashion, it is
responsible to council in
matters pertaining to the
architectural heritage of the
community, particularly The
Square area.
"We're still waiting for a
report from our legal people
and the county planners on
this matter;" Councillor Bob
Allen reminded council,
Under harbor business
which remained unfinished,
decision was re, rhed to
purchase a diving board for
the end of the pier. Mayor
Deb Shewfelt told council the
board had beef requested for
last summer's swimming
season 'and felt it was time
council took some action.
Councillor Don Wheeler,
chairman of the harbor
committee, had obtained one
quote from the Goderich
Building Centre in early April
hut 'at that time, Deputy -
reeve Eileen Palmer felt at
least two other bids should be
sought. However, at Mon-
day's meeting Mrs. Palmer
withdrew her opposition to
the Goderich Building Centre
quote in 'order to expedite the
matter. Councillor Wheeler
was absent.
• There was a' minor
disagreement between Parks
Chairman Elsa Haydon and
Traffic Committee Chairman
John Doherty, both of whom
are involved in the decision
making regarding signs to be
erected along Highway 21 this
summer pointing the way to
the church.
Doherty said he had ,,o
objection to the signs while
Mrs. Haydon pointed out that
if St. George's put up signs, so
would many other churches
want to do the same.
Mayor Shewfelt explained
that the signs would go up for
about one week only, and
would be used to inform
Gaol opening
This weekend marks the opening of the
Huron Historic Gaol for another season.
This is the fourth year tourists and area
citizens have been able to tour the for-
mer jail and the* adjoining governor's
house. _
Harry Bosnell who co-ordinates the
program at the gaol, says the attraction
will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
with the last tickets sold at 5:30 p.m.
each day. Rates -are the same as last
year - $1 for adults and 50 cents for
'children and senior citizens.
Other employees at the gaol,are Mrs.
Eileen Boswell, Jack and Georgina
Bosman,' Dianna Wunink and Mary
Moore. All staff members assist with the
general maintenance =and cleaning. As
well, Mrs, Boswell and Mrs. Bosman sell
tickets and Ms. Wunink and Ms. Moore
serve as tour guides.
This year, the upstairs in the gover•
-
nor's house is completely furnished with
period pieces, and within a few weeks,
the kitchen will also be completed .and
ready for viewing.
"The county people have been most
co-operative," said Mr. Boswell, who
added that many things undertaken by
the board mqst have the approval of
Huron County Council.
The gaol was first opened to the public
in 1974. That summer, 3,800 persons
toured the historical building. Last year
was the biggest year ever with more
than 15,500 visitors passing through the
entrance gates.
This being Goderich's Sesquicen-
tennial Year, the gaol board is an-
ticipating some 'special ' events at the
gaol. Mr. Bosnell indicated there were
hopes now for an eight to ten day
professional theatre run during, 'August
in honor of the 150th anniversary of the
founding of the Port of Goderich.
"It, will require the co-operation of the
community," Mr. Bosnell stated, "but
if it is presented here it should • be a
humorous historical program, with a
definite Huron County flavor."
The production would be staged
outdoors in the large courtyard.

will deal first with the fundamental need for
practice. Without it, you cannot learn
,properly.
In any sport, you must practise byplaying for the fun
of it. This is as important as formal lessons since it
reinforces stroking 'techniques and strategies. Not
only will you meet new players by this method but you
will also compete against varying styles. To be fair to
yourself, play with people of your own ability.
More formal methods of practice involve using a wall.
Repetition against a backboard quickly develops the
groundstrokes. You can also use a ball machine or
even take private lessons from a certified instructor.
Whatever you choose, try to practise as much as you'
play. This goes for players of all ages and abilities.
