Sponsorship for Air Show slow By Fred Groves T -A staff GRAND BEND - Organizers of the 1994 Grand Bend International Air Show got some very good news Saturday morning. As plans continue for what well may be one of the largest and most spectacular aviation exhibitions ever in Ontario, more acts are con - finning they will he here May 27- 29. Saturday the group was told that the United States Drug Interception Team will be making it's only Ca- nadian appearance at Grand Bend. The air show has brought a lot of attention from across North Ameri- ca. "They're (pilots and exhibitors) are all saying why hasn't anyone thought of this sooner," said Laur- en Lee who is in charge of getting the planes and exhibits. What's different about this show, called 'Up, Up and Awaves', is that not only will there be two actual air shows but the public will have a unique opportunity to enjoy the to- tal aviation experience. Planes and all kinds of aviation displays will be at the Huron Park Airport for the public to view. There will be barbeques and dances and some special surprises. "Our major acts are confirmed. The military confirmation should be forthcoming," said Lee. She said 1,500 invitations have gone out to exhibitors. While the air show held two years ago featured the Canadian Forces acrobatic team the Snow- birds, this year's event will have teams from the United States. One of the biggest features will be the tribute to the Word War II D -Day battle. Planes from that era will perform. Where's the money?: The budget is expected to exceed $150,0(X) and about $45,000 of that is expected to come from corporate sponsor- ship. However, that source seems to be not as large as previously planned. The corporate sponsorships are coming in but they're coming in slowly," said Tom Johnston the show's marketing consultant. "Al- though it's not as positive as I'd like to see, I'm hopeful it will reach Huron Teachers Fund promotes healthy students CLINTON - Teachers in Onta- rio deal with the realities of our changing society on a daily basis. One of these realities is the fact that a significant number of chil- dren do not begin the school day witha filling, nutritious meal. In recent years nutrition has be- come recognized as an important factor in the ability of children to learn. The Ontario Public School Teachers in Huron County be- lieve that a partnership between government, teachers, parents and organizations interested in child nutrition can successfully meet the challenge posed by this threat to our youth. In August of 1992 our federa- tion at its annual meeting created a Healthy Learners Fund to help support existing nutrition pro- grams and to organize programs where a need was demonstrated. Ontario Public School Teachers in Huron County have raised over $2,000 since September 1992- to support nutrition education and food supplement programs in sev- eral elementary schools. Schools have been notified that funds exist on a matching basis and to date all applications have been approved. We have support- ed programs at Vanastra, Victoria, Blyth, Grey, Seaforth, Wingham, Turnbcrry, Colborne, East Wawa - nosh, and Zurich schools. Our funds are certainty not enough to provide long term sup- port to one let alone several school 'areas but we have been modestly successful in providing seed money to get local projects started. Our Winter Meeting scheduled for February 23, 1994 at the Clin- ton Town Hall will feature a pres- entation by Beth Wilck, the nutri- tionist from the Health Unit. We will be once again trying to raise additional funds to support our projects. We have appreciated community support for our pro- gram.

The tnajor source of revenue for the show will come from the sale of buttons which act as a pass to Af all the events.

As plans continue, changes are being made. It was originally thought that the Grand Bend Air- port would be used as a large park- ing lot and buses would shuttle spectators to both the beach, where they would view the airshow, and to the Huron Park Airport. Buses were a major budget item but since not as many are required, that is one Tess large experience. "We're comfortable with parking perimetering Grand Bend. We do have the acreage but it will take a lot of control," said Grand Bend councillor Bill Uniac. It was confirmed on Saturday that actor Cliff Robertson would not be attending and the committee was going to try and get another big name draw. Local schools have been contact- ed and 230 principals in surround- ing counties have been notified. It is expected that May 27 will be a day in which thousands of students will come and view the displays. On February 26, the Huron Park committee will meet at the recrea- tion complex to work on the site plan. In order to keep the airport secure, it was decided there would be no food or beverage concessions within the fenced area. Our Top Five Mutual Fund Selections Plus...
