Council endorses final
pe of sports field
Goderich Town Council approved in principle
• Monday night the second and final • phase of
development by Goderich District Collegiate
Institute of the recreational area at the corner of
Eldon and Bennett Streets. •
The support of council is required so that the school
caa make applications for Wintario and Community
• Centre grants to help finance the next .phase. The
. .second part of the development is expected to cost
$85,000, with $42,000 .:coming from Wintario and
Community Centre grants.
_ - In his presentation -to council Monday night, GDCI
spokesman Lynn Meyers said that the Lions Club has
pledged $20,000 towards the project and the school
plans to raise the remaining $23,000.
The project includes the surfacing of the track, the
erection of a fence, installation of track curbing,•
. purchase and installation . of soccer and football
goalposts, jumping pits and hurdles, and the pur-
chase -of equipment.
The first phase of the project cost $55,000 and in -
eluded draining, levelling and seeding of nine acres,
the building of the 400 metre track, and the con-
struction of the baseball diamond and outdoor
basketball court.
GDCI uses the recreational area during school days
and the town takes over on weekends and in the
summer. Neither Goderich nor the Huron County
Board of Education are providing funds for the
project.
Meyers told council that when the area was first
considered for development in 1973, the entire cost
was estimated at $23,000. The entire cost now is about
$140,000. "We want to get it done before inflation eats
up all the funds," said Meyers.
Council unanimously supported the motion and '
several Members expressed congratulations towards
the school for its determination and fund-raising
abilities.
A Wintario representative is coming to Goderich
this Monday to discuss a grant with the GDCI fund-
raising committee.
Central Huron students
want ..crodited__mu_siQcourse_
The Huron County Board of Education agreed •to
examine the feasibility of instituting a credited music
program at Central Huron Secondary School in
Clinton.
The board has recently been petitioned by parents
of both elementary and secondary. school students in
the CHHS area to initiate a credited music program
similar to that in existence at Goderich and District
Collegiate Institute. The music program in Goderich
is the only one of its kind in Huron County high
schools.
Subsequent to a presentation by a delegation of
parents, the board agreed to refer the matter to a
joint Committee of the Personnel and Education
Committees for further consideration. •
Bill Hearn, spokesman for the parent delegation,
told the board their original purse was to maintain
music as an extra curricular activity at the school,
adding that the wishes of the students went beyond
ghat.
"We are aware of staffing problems and our
original purpose was to retain music as an extra
curricular activity as it exists now," he said.
"However, we have contacted the Grade 8 students in
feeder schools and the interest goes beyond extra
curricular. The bulk of the students want a credit
course."
Hearn indicated there are 30 students in the school
band and an additional 60 students from elementary
feeder schools interested in a music program. He
claimed that such numbers Would mean an automatic
music program in Goderich.
In his presentation to the board, Hearn submitted
that the goal of education .was to develop student.
talent.
"Musk expands the educational experience and it
relates to • higher education," he said. " It is a
universal expression of feeling and we are asking that
a music credit course be given fair considlation for
Central Huron Secondary School,"
Goderich trustee Dorothy Wallace said she was in
favor of a credited music course,j ut added that board
faced difficult decisions with^staff allocation:
"I am in favor of restoring music as a credit
course," she said. "Our problems with staffing are
acute but we will see if we can do it"
While Goderich has the only credited music course
in the county, students at CHHS have been pursuing a
music program on their own time.
Summer school session `set
Summer may now just be a fond memory but the
Huron County Board of Education has already
initiated plans for a third session of summer school.
At its regular monthly meeting in Clinton Monday,
trustees endorsed a motion to offer a summer school
program at Central Huron Secondary School in 1981.
The program will run for six weeks and offer both
credit and non-credit courses.
'T'he summer school -program was initjated in 1979
and offered non-credit courses in remedial English,
remedial mathematics and driver education. In 1980
the non-credit program was expanded to include
English as a second language. Credit courses in both
years were limited to English and mathematics.
This year the board has recommended flat a
minimum enrolment of five students is needed in a
subject. If lean than five students enrol that subject
may still be offered by combining it with another
grade of the same subject.
In 1979 summer school enrolment totalled 182
students in 11 courses and in 1980 the figures rose to
196 students in 20 courses. There were 13 instructors
in addition to the principal and secretary.
Revenue from summer school is derived from
student fees and provincial grants, which is derived
at by converting the pupifiiours to the equivalent of
attendance at regular day school.
In 1979 the expenditures were 811,908, which in-
cluded busing from Goderich, Wingham, Seaforth
and Exeter, while revenue was $10,140. The 1980

Chief outlines police
complaints procedure
If you've ever had any complaints against police
but were not sure how to lodge a formal protest
against„ny action, there is specific procedures as
laid outby the Ontario Police commission.
Goderich Police Chief Pat King said his depart-
ment deals with a wide selection of complaints and
inquiries each year but most people are unaware of
the proper procedure they should follow.
Most police departments in the province follow, the
procedure as laid. out by the Ontario-commission.-The-
guidelines
ntario-commission.The—
guidelines providethe public with a facility for ex
pressing their dissatisfaction and subsequently local
polic boards or' commissions can take corrective'
action.
If any citizen has a valid complaint regarding the
actions or conduct of a police officer there are several
options available. The citizen can register the
complaint in person at the station and give a
.stdteinent to the officer in charge dr a written
complaint can be sent to the chief of police.
If you are making a complaint at the station and the
presiding' officer happens to be the officer in question,
the complaint can be registered with the chief at a
later date.
The chief of police deals with all complaints
received but if there is any dissatisfaction with his
action, citizens can write to the police commission
asking it to investigate the matter more thoroughly.
The action of the police commission is also subject
to appeal: If you have an objection to the commission
findings you have the right to make a submission to
the chairman of the Ontario Police Commission in
-ornnto
If a citizen feels that criminal charges should be
laid against an officer the local justice of the peace
should be contacted: The chief of police can also lay
charges under the Criminal Code and Police Act.
T here'°is also the option of consulting a lawyer for
advice if there is a basis for civil action. All valid
citizen's complaints are investigated.
Chief King said that most local complaints are
resolved satisfactorily and in many cases citizens are
just seeking clarification of alaw.
"We don't get a lot of complaints and most are
resolved," he said. "In many cases people just want
clarification on the law."
