Village Squire, 1979-03, Page 30the harbour before the committee of
adjustment, Councillors decided to oppose
the proposal before the committee of
adjustment.
But the couple does have one friend in
the person of local newspaper editor Joy
Mantey who criticized the council decision
and attitude. "How could a ship, with all
its romantic ties and history be voted out
of the harbour? Since when is a ship in a
harbour not acceptable?"
CAMPAIGN STARTS FOR GODERICH
ARTS CENTRE
They're off and fundraising in the
campaign to turn a century -old livery
stable into an arts centre for the town of
Goderich.
The Goderich Performing Arts Founda-
tion, the group formed to lead the
campaign, has set a target of $350,000 to
purchase and renovate the building into a
300 -seat auditorium. There will also be a
projection room, a green room, change
rooms and washrooms and the foyer will
serve as a small art gallery. The centre will
be the home of the Goderich Little Theatre
and other events such as musicals, choirs
and concerts. However the 300 seats in the
building will make it too small for such
things as the regular visits of the London
Symphony Orchestra.
The group hopes to obtain money from
the Ontario Heritage Foundation because
of the age of the building being restored
and it is also in the Downtown
- Revitalization Area.
By early mid-February the fund had
reached $1500. Spokesperson Heather
Lyons said it is hoped to have the cultural
centre open by December 1980. Anyone
wanting more information or wishing to
make a donation can call 524-2472 or write

BUCKLE UNBUCKLED FROM
ROAD SHOW
Yet another theatre in the region is on
the lookout for a new artistic director.
Rex Buckle, the man who has led Road
Show Theatre Co. in Guelph since its
earliest beginnings as a summer touring
theatre has left his post to pursue a career
as a freelance director.
In a program note to patrons, the board
of management of the theatre has said it is
not in a hurry to replace Mr. Buckle
because it first wants to learn more about
its audience and where the theatre should
be going. Questionnaires have been
distributed to patrons to provide the
information.
THE"PAV" MAY BE ON THE
WAY BACK
The Palace Pier is gone. The Stork Club
was recently reduced to rubble by fire. But
one of the remnants of the big band era
may be back in business if a Walkerton
based -company is successful in its plans.
R and R Productions of Walkerton has
offered to buy The Pavillion at Kincardine
if the lease on the building can be extended
to 2009 by the town of Kincardine. The

building has been owned by Jim Buehlow
of Kincardine but it sits on town property.
His present lease extends for 10 years with
an option for another 10 years. The new
group wants a new lease for 30 years.
Rob Weiler of the Walkerton company
says that the Pavillion was once number
three behind the two previously mentioned
dance halls. The excellent dance floor and
accoustics have tempted the company to
try to bring back the big band sound in a
dinner and dance spot. If successful, they
would also like to licence the establish-
ment. Weiler, along with partners
Raymond Schuett and Jerry Chomyn
recently approached the Kincardine
council with their plans but no decision has
vet been reached. 1
