Plan to rid museum of bats stirs up neighbours
\ plan to get 2.000-3.000 bats
out of the attic of the Huron County
Museum has stirred up a hornet's
nest in Goderich.
Neighbours, worried the bats will
take up roost in their homes, have
complained to the county and the
Town of Goderich. County council
lors were assured by museum cura
tor Claus Breede that the bats will
be trapped and taken far away from
the area before they are released.
Tenders have been called for pro
posals to humanely remove the bats
and patch all holes to keep them
from returning to the attic of the
"old school" portion of the muse
um. It’s estimated the cost will be
$20,000 - $25,000.
Breede said that while bats are
valuable, eating 600-1,000
mosquito-sized insects a day, they
have been getting inside the muse
um building and playing havoc
with the security sensors, regularly
setting off alarms because of sig
nals they send out.
As well bat droppings in the attic
are sending odour throughout the
building and causing a potential
health problem.
The proposal is to trap the bats as
they emerge at night and when the
trap is full, take it at least 10 km
from Goderich. When asked who
would determine where the bats
were released, Breede jokingly sug
gested part of Perth County might
be included if council wished.
Food industry could bring jobs

Initiatives for Manufacturing Study,
said in proportion to its number one
position in agricultural production,
Huron should have 3,400 jobs in
food manufacturing instead of 950.
While companies aren’t likely to
just move to Huron, food produc
tion companies have indicated they
plan a huge investment in the
industry in the coming years and
some of that could be a goal for the
county, he said.
Jerry Pisarzowski, of GPA Con
sulting told council that a survey of
173 manufacturers in the county
found quality of life and wage costs
were attractions for doing business
in Huron while lack of access to
major highways was a weakness in
luring industries or promoting
growth in current industries.
One of the challenges smaller
industries face is attracting quali
fied personnel.
Smaller companies surveyed also
felt they were getting short shrift
from municipal politicians, Pisar
zowski said.
On the plus side, the companies
surveyed projected employment
growth of 20 per cent in coming
years, leading to a potential growth
of 900 jobs, Baroudi said.
The study is ongoing and will
result in recommendations on how
the county can create a strategy to
create more jobs.

When it comes to her new busi
ness, Samantha Terpstra bakes the
cake.
Though she had been making
special cakes for her children, Cur
tis, three and Matthew, two. Brus
sels-area owner of Creative Cakes
said the inspiration to learn more
about cake decorating began with a
request from her eldest. “He want
ed a Buzz L ghtyear cake for his
birthday. We did find one in a
store, but looking at it, I felt that I
could do something like this.”
Once she decided that it might be
worthwhile to leam all the tricks of
the trade, Terpstra signed on for a
course in Kitchener. “It certainly
does make it easier when you really
know the technique,” she says.
She enjoyed the courses and the
work so much, she decided to go
into business. Planning on offering

A little skit by JoAnn McDonald
and Jane Zwep had people
laughing. Phyllis Mitchell led a
sing-song with Marie McGavin at
the piano. Some oldies but goodies
were sung.
Ann Ryan gave readings with
some very wise words and
suggestions. One told of some
things to do together to see how
easy he is to get along with. For
instance make sure that you and
your husband-to-be wallpaper a
room together, or drive his car and
accidentally put a little scratch on it
to see how he reacts
a full-line of decorated cakes, Terp
stra won’t be set up for wedding
cakes until the new year, however.
It’s no surprise, right now, taking
into consideration her young family
and the children of family and
friends that birthday cakes are
already a big seller. And there’s no
end to the selection. She has sever
al character cakes from which to
choose or can use transfers to cre
ate a special design.
She requires at least 24 hours
notice for an order.
Prices range from $10 for an
eight-inch round cake to the pi&ce-
de-resistance, a 3-D Winnie the
Pooh, complete with honeypot for
$20 or a $30 sheet cake.
