Airforce Radome Museum gets financial boost
Plans for the founding of the Air
Force Radome Museum of
Electronics received a financial
boost last week during a gathering
at the museum's temporary home at
the Vanastra Village Flea Market.
Paul Nichol presented a $2,500
cheque on behalf of the Huron
Business Development Corpora-
tion, representing a grant to support
a membership fundraising drive for
the fledgling organization.
Also on hand to make
presentations were Bob Linden and
Horace "Red" Macauley of Ottawa,
who brought greetings and best
wishes from the Second World War
Radar Techs Association in
Ottawa. They presented a $4,000
cheque on behalf of the Radar
Techs.
"Interest in the museum is
coming from around the world,"
said board President Phil Malcolm,
as he thanked the donors on behalf
of the board of directors.
Referring to an architectural
rendering of a proposed new
building for the museum, Malcolm
was optimistic in his feelings about
the future of the project.
"With the boost we have received
today, coupled with the formation
of a strong board of directors and
the interest from our alumni, I feel
confident that the museum will be
finding a permanent home in new
quarters," he said.
Over 150,000 students trained in
radar and communications at
RCAF, RAF CFB Clinton between
1941 and 1971. The proposed
museum will not only honour the
alumni of the training school but be
a repository for historical
documents, artifacts and
memorabilia.

W. Wawanosh holds court of revision
In an appeal over assessment
for the Bos Municipal Drain,
three West Wawanosh ratepayers
attended the May 19 court of
revision.
After a closed session to
discuss the appeals, three motions
were put forward by council.
With regards to the Robert
Hallam appeal: the area hectare
was reduced by one half because
it is not in the watershed and the
assessment for under drainage
was increased by two hectares,
resulting in an increased
assessment of $318 with a
reduction to John Bos by $212
and Hendrik Van Dorp by $106.
Crop damage allowances were
adjusted as follows: reduce
Hallam by $118; township
sideroad, $3; concession road,
$39 and Van Dorp, $1,010 while
increasing Allan Webster's
damage allowance by $165; Mike
Dumin, $619 and Bos, $338.
In response to Webster's
appeal, his benefit assessment
was reduced by $394 while
Dumin's outlet assessment was
increased by $131 and Bos' went
up $263.
Van Dorp's appeals were
handled through Hallam's claim
or dismissed.
Some matters were left
undecided as the court of revision
could not deal with them.
Following the session, council
conducted its regular meeting.
Webster requested that it be
recorded in the minutes that
water running from the north and
west which includes water from
the Bos drain and Conc. 2, Lot
21, be recognized as the same
outlet.
It was also noted that any

The dispute between the
township and property owners
began in 1991 when the
Gricrsons appealed a zoning
bylaw amendment which would
have resulted in the sideroad
classified for non-conforming use
with no winter maintenance.
The appeal was won in 1993,
but the Griersons continued to
seek improvements.
As well as damages and interest
costs pre and post-judgement,
costs were awarded on a solicitor-
client basis, leaving the total
value of the judgement unknown
at this time.

he said the township has not yet
