eer and-rnusic,
discussed by council
• Beer and music are not compatible. At least not on
The Square.
Town council has asked the Kinsmen Club to
consider using the Optimist Riverside Park for their
annual beer tent if music is to be played: The motion
was prompted. by council after it learned that a band
•'played at the Kinsmen beer .tent for approximately
two to three hours on Saturday, July 17 during the
clubs three-day carnival and beer tent on the Square.
Deputy -reeve Bob Allen told council that. the word
music covers a large spectre and other councillors
suggested that what is music to' Somictsconsidered
noise to others. '
The Kinsmen Club had no intention of having music
in conjunction with the beer tent councillor John"
Doherty said, adding that the band voluntered to play
and• did So from approximately 2 to 5 p.m. on that
Saturday afternoon. "It was not as loud as some of
the music from the hotel," he said. "It wasn't loud
and there weren't any complaints." .
Councillor Stan Profit argued that the question of
music should be looked at seriously. •
"I. have no objection' to music but I worry about a
lenghty program of music that goes on until 1 a.m., "
he said. "It's worth a look.",
While stating he had no objection to the motion,,
councillor Glen Carey cautioned council on imposing
strict measures against music in Court House Park.
"We must be careful. On what basis should we
decide if there can be beer with music or if music
must be at Riverside Park," Carey said.
Reeve 'Don Wheeler suggested council should
formulatea reasonable policy\ to deal with the.
matter. He added that visitors to the Festival of the.
Arts in Court House Park thefollowing weekend, .
patrof~iized the ' commercial interests hi town to a z•
much greater extent than patrons of the Kinsmen
beer tent.
Profit 'said questions about music such as Whether
or, not • it is . professional entertainment and the
duration of the music needed to be answered. But, he
saidgroups could not be treated differently. •
Jim Searls told council he has heard "louder musci
from cars going around The Square."
Later council granted the Goderich Arts Foun-
dation permission to hold a • western night, with
music, on the grounds at The Livery. Carey said the
situation was nodifferent than • Kinsmen en-
tertainri►ent matter:

• 13 municipalities including $15,000 to Ashfield

tions, and on plumbing, insulation, heating and elec-
trical systems.

on the recipient's income. Interest rates range from
zero to eight per cent, again depending on income.
For applicants, the maximum annual qualifying in-
come, after . allowable deductions are • made, is
$15,500. •
Bennett said that since OHRP was launched in 1974,
more than $151 million in provincial,furds have been
given to 708 municipalities across the province, and
to individuals in unorganized communities:
"That translates into repairs being carried out with
OHRP financial incentives. in almost 36,000 homes.
It's a measure of the program's success and populari-
ty," he said. •
OHRP benefits are available to eligible owner -
occupants in all municipalities which have adopted
minimum housing standards bylaws or resolutions
