Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1978-09-28, Page 20PAGE 20—THE GODE RICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28,-1978 PUC request for new substation approved by town council Goderich town council gave tentative ap- proval to a PUC request to build a new sub- station at a cost of $125,000. Lakeport given wrong idea The PUC asked council to debenture for the amount and Monday council gave two readings for a bylaw to borrow the funds. Third reading The Goderich Economic Development Commission was a little concerned at its Wednesday meeting when it discovered that a Goderich industry had been misled about establishing in the town's Industrial Park. • The commission was told that Tom Cook, owner of Lakeport Steel Industries of Goderich, was under the impression that he couldn't locate his business in the Industrial Park. Gord McManus, chairman of the com- mission, said Cook wanted to know if he could locate in the park if he wanted to: McManus said Cook was considering establishing a warehouse operation for his steel supply business and wanted to know if he could locate in the Industrial Park. He said Cook was thinking about a four acre parcel but the chairman had convinced him that 2,5 acres would do the job. "We have a 2.5 acre piece between Huromic Metals and J. B. Allen that is long and narrow and set well back from the road that would be ideal," said McManus. 'The chairman- said Cook wanted' the warehouse operation for his •business because Lakeport had outgrown its Nelson Street location.He said the firm deals in steel for construction and wanted the Industrial Park site for storage. He said the new location would material at the site would probably be stored indoors. indoors.

Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Hewitt of North Bay are visiting with Mrs. Hewitt's sister, Mrs. Bruce Grigg and family. Guests with Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Kaitting on Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. Reg. Tufford of Strathroy; Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Rouse of Norwich and Mr. and Mrs. John (Pat) Patterson of Seaforth. They also visited friends and relatives in Goderich. The . sympathy of the community is extended to the relatives of the late Mrs. Mary Ethla Westlake, Huronview, formerly of Saltford. started up in the scrap Metal business but has since become suppliers of new steel. He said the firm does not deal in scrap any more. He said the Nelson Street location is about one acre in size and iuses about an acre and a half. "He's on the road allowance and with the number off trucks in and out of the place it is not in a very good spot surrounded by residential land," said McManus. Mayor Deb Shewfelt suggested that the commission recommend to eouncil that Lakeport be permitted to locate in the Industrial Park subject to the proper presen- tation of building plans and a detailed report on the type of business to be operated. Elsa Haydon reminded the commission that it should think before it decides what it wants to do. She said she was not convinced the firm would be as tidy as indicated but added that some members appeared to "know more than me". "Champion is a warehouse operation. Huromic is -a warehouse operation. You can't say yes to some and no to others," said McManus. "The growth of this town has been by people in this town enterprising enough to expand their business," said Shewfelt. "A drive through Industrial Park speaks for itself. The town has landed one sale and that was Borg-Warner. Our future here is with industry here that wants to expand and hop,efully will expand here." of the bylaw is delayed until Ontario Hydro' approval is obtained for the project. PUC manager Al Lawson told council at a previous meeting.that the station was needed to provide adequate service to the town and service future needs. Last year a storm knocked the industrial park substation out at a cost of $45,000. Lawson said the substation would fit into the residential area of Britannia Road and em- phasized the need for a new station claiming the town was reaching its capacity on the old system. "If one station goes we're in trouble," Lawson explained. "We need approval from council for the debenture and it will probably take a full year before the station is built. But we neectit for security." The town would be responsible in obtaining the debenture but Lawson said the PUC would bear all costs involved and there would be no expense to the town. But the manager added that the PUC may not need all the debenture money since it hasn't been determined whether they will build at the Federal' minister of Agriculture Eugene Whelan (right) listens closely as former astronaut and first man to step on the moon Neil Armstrong makes a point about farming in 1978. Both were on hand for the official opening of the International Plowing Match being hosted this year by Huron County. Whelan presented Armstrong with a book of commemorative stamps honoring the occasion.

The success of air drying flowers depends on the flowers' stage of maturity and on drying conditions. A warm, dry place, without exposure to direct sunlight is best. The area should be large enough to allow for adequate circulation of air around the plant material. A warm, dark attic or a large, open FHP SHEAVES - WITH SPLIT TAPER BUSHINGS — EASY TO MOUNT AND REMOVE COMPLETE RANGE OF SIZES 30 VICTORIA ST. NORTH 5244901 closet is generally well- suited to drying flowers during the summer. Even a work area in a warm basement can be used if the humidity is less than 60 per cent, preferably between 35 and 40 per- cent. Many delicate plant materials and flowers with high moisture contents can be preserved using silica gel, a desiccant which absorbs moisture from the flower. Florist's wire is used to reinforce or replace flower stems, before silica -gel drying. After wiring, follow these steps to complete the drying process. Place one to two inches of silica gel crystals in the bottom of a drying container. Place flowers in the container on the silica gel face up or face down, depending on the shape of the flower (flowermust not touch one another).' Sprinkle silica gel around and between the petals carefully until the entire bloom is completely buried. Try to keep the flower petals in their natural position.; Cover the container and seal with masking tape. Place the container in a warm, dry place until the flowers are dried. Once the flowers are dried, they should be carefully removed from the silica gel. Dust off excess silical gel from blooms with a camel hair artist's brush. The Norfolk Island Pine not only makes an excellent houseplant but also doubles as a novel Christmas tree. They are usually available at chain stores, plant shops and the traditional •retail stores. • The Norfolk pine is started " from seed, usually in the southern United States or in growth chambers and shipped at various stages of growth to greenhouses in Ontario. You can usually recognize an Ontario - grown pine by the shape of the branches. If the branches are narrow • near the main stem and larger on the outside, the plant was probably reaching for light and needed to flare out. This characterizes a northern - grown plant. This type will normally grow more successfully in your home. If you use the pine as a Christmas tree, use small, light ornaments and hang them close to the main stem. Don't place your Norfolk pine in a sunny window. Set it back out of •direct light. This plant grows. about Six inches per year so it won't crowd you out for awhile. These plants are fairly resistant to insects with the possible exception of scales. Scales appear as White, crystalline masses at the base of the needles. Malathion will soon eradicate this problem. Britannia Koaa site or seek an alternate site. The town is presently serviced by three stations, the Eldon Street and Industrial Park stations supply 5,000 kilovolts each and the Britannia Road station supplies 3,000 kilovolts. So the town's capacity is 13,000 kilovolts but Lawson pointed out that the winter peak often reaches 16,000 •kilovolts and if there was a failure at any station it would result in brown- outs. The new substation would give the town a capacity of 15,000 kilovolts. On a 15 -year debenture the PUC would pay a monthly bill of 1266 which would mean an ad- ditional 83 cents on a customer's two-month bill. A 10 -year debenture, which would be repaid at a rate of $1,732 per month would mean an increase of $1.14 to the customer. The bylaw approves the debenture over a 10 - year period. The project is alsosubject to OMB approval. Herald to make presentation Today (Thursday) a representative of the Royal Family of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be in Goderich to make a formal presentation of the town's coat of arms. Dr. C. Swan, York Herald, will arrive in Goderich and proceed to Goderich and District Collegiate Institute with Judge F. G. Carter and Mayor Shewfg,lt for the ceremonies at 11 a.m. The ceremony will include a history of the coat off arms, the presentation and dedication. The dedication of the coat of arms will be followed by a student question and answer period. A civic luncheon will follow at Maitland Country Club. • ••••••••••••••••••••••••i•••••••••••••••• • • : WEEK : • • Ce••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 4 .RISE,N.SHINE at••• • GREEN GEANT • TETLEY• S r BYE THE SEA • CANADA FANCY ORANGE PEKOE ORANGE • •••: • :TEA 0:FLAVOUR • GHT .NIBLET ICORN• 39lBAGS1.A7:CRYSTALSticTUNA / • • 6O. • 12FLOZCAN • PKG.OF72 • • PKG.
