The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-09-29, Page 11GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1982—PAGE1 Round 'n About with Martha Martha Rathburn R was nice to see so many friends from Goderich dur- ing the, celebration of CIDERFEST at Seaforth. This was two very busy days and I enjoyed it. I had been invited to show my paintings in the fine 'old Van Egmond home which is being suc- cessfully renovataed. The Saturday weather slowed the activities but Sun- day, after church, was a busy, happy day. I saw a great number of folks I had been missing and became acquainted with a new lot - a real pleasure. To add to the day - Sunday evening I went to the meeting at the Foundation - or "Livery" - as it is being called. It will be the home of the music, arts and theatre groups besides a place for conventions, weddings and such, dances and shows of all kinds. We certainly need this building, and it will be fulfill- ing the dream of a great 'Accounts paid by council Accounts totalling more than $23,000 were ordered paid when Goderich Township Council met in regular session September 20. Of this amount, $12,788 was for road superintendent payroll and $4,942 was for the Bayfield 'Fire Area budget Ivy, Building permits were issued to Earl Williams for a shed on lot 11, concession 2; to D.&F. Vanderhaar for grain bins and a shed on lot 39, concession 5; to Joseph Kokainie for a swimming pool on lot 15, Plan 25; to R. Kaptein for a. chimney on lot 3, Base Line; to Peter Van Driel for a house addition on lot 18, concession 6;. to Winston Gibbons for a garage on lot 7, concession 3; to Harold Kirkconnell to demolish a shed on lot 7, concession 3; and to Calvin Roberts for a wood shed on lot 36, concession 1. A tile draM loan requested by Barry Taylor for $10,800 on lot 25, Base Line was approved subject to the availability of funds. The Ausable-Bayfield Authority were informed that the De Jong drain would demonstrate the ditch cleaning machinery. A resolution from the Village of Zurich requesting that both the Huron County School Board and the Huron - Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board operate under the six and five per cent guidelines for 1983 and 1984, was endorsed by council. G. Hiltz and Ross Dobson were present at the council meeting to request that council rescind their motion whereby development on Mr. Dobson's property should be by Plan of Sub- division. They requested that development should be permitted by pre -design site plan. Council requested the applicant to make several site plans with the intent that • the entrances to the roads could be reduced from eight or one for each lot. The meeting adjourned until October 4 at 8 p.m. many who have worked so hard to bring it about. They hope to pass this dream on to all of us. Dorothy Wallace gave a fine introduction to the Livery. lain Bain talked of the future of the Livery: The attendance was good except there might have been a larger percentage of theatre membership. Goderich has one of the largest theatre member- ships in Southwestern On- tario - a surprising figure. In order to begin all the renovating, raising money and making the facility known near and far, there had to be a group to take it on. The "Goderich Founda- tion for the Performing Arts" seems like a mouthfdl but it covers a great many activities and the old "Livery" will become the home for these activities. The "Foundation" will be the landlord to make the "Livery" available to all citizens in the area. It con- sists of a Board of Directors and five working commit- tees. Mrs. Dorothy Wallace is President with Phil McMillan, Vice -President. Architects Hill and Borgal are in charge of the shape of things. The property com- mittee is headed by John Kuran and Bob Allin; finance by Fred Durst and Ray Dunlop. Special events (for example the Steel Band and Western Night held recently) worried over by Maria Metcalfe; fund- raising by D. Wallace, John Graham, Dennis Little and others; programming, Phil MacMillan. Iain Bain talked of • the state of things now and of the future for this grand old building. Since Spring of '82 more' than $60;000 -:•'has been spent on the new support steel work, a great new roof with its new cupolas, new doors, the removal ot a large window and restoration of original stonework, much building inside for bathrooms, office and other space needed. Support has come mainly from citizens and clubs in town and some donations from large corporations and charitable foundations who see the potential of the Livery. The entire restora- tion is to preserve the best of our heritage. Goderich has beCorne known nationally and internationally for its unique architecture. We need a focal point to attract the tourist to The Square, to spend some time AND dollars. The Livery can DO this. The Ontario Science Centre will bring their show next Spring if we are ready. This winter they hope to make the Livery opera- tional. They have applied to the Federal Government re: a Canada Community Development Program grant, giving work to people during November, December and January. The Livery can complete the tourist triangle from Stratford and Blyth to Grand Bend with Goderich at the APEX. Of this the Ontario Government Tourism Ministry is interested and supportive. This could revitalize the entire downtown core with the best of our heritage buildings preserved. The TAX base will be strengthen- ed by the tourist dollars. There will be a waiting list for available stores on The Square. ' The community NEEDS the Livery. Little Theatre can expand; music boosters, visual artist exhibitions and craft shows; dances; seminars; conven- tion,s, receptions and on and on, can take place in this fine hall. The Livery offers downtown location, easy parking, ground floor access and facilities close to stores restaurants and hotels. This winter they hope to make the Livery operational but they need $30,000 to pay for materials - 300 people giving $100 or .600 with $50. Without this help this year — the Livery could fail - the dream for the betterment of our nice town could die and the opportunity would be lost forever. They NEED everyone to Goderich goldsmith in European exhibition • • • • • • Goderich Goldsmith, Robert G.

The jurying was severe; from 300 entries, only 22 goldsmiths were selected for the show. Claus Bury reminded entrants that it was the jury's duty and responsibility to show "the best" and that anything short of excellent would, not give Canada a very good name and image abroad. Lois and Orland proudly an- nounced that the accepted pieces were' indeed ex- cellent, and in many cases, extraordinary and that it certainly was an exhibition of which Canada and Cana- dians can be iustly proud. The selection was as follows: Nova Scotia had two accepted, Quebec had six; Ontario 11 and Alberta three. When the jurying was finished, all of the jury agreed this could be the most interesting and 'exciting ex- hibition of jewelry ever to come out of Canada. Robert Stoddart has also won a number of Canadian awards from the Metal Arts Guild of Ontario and the On- tario Crafts council. Goderich and area newborns BUFFET Mr. and Mrs. David A.
