GODERICH 524-8171 New police cruiser will be yellow The Goderich Police Commission The town's new cruiser will be painted open three tenders for a new police yellow since the Ontario Police Com - cruiser at a meeting on Monday, accepting that of Jim Hayter Chev Olds at a price of $12,412. The other two tenders were from Strickland Motors Ltd. ($13,329.71) and Goderich Plymouth Chrysler ($12,268.62). Although the latter tender was the lowest, the commission turned it down because it did not meet all the required specifications. mission feels yellow cruisers are more visible and act as a deterrent to would-be violaters of the law. Goderich has two cruisers, trading in the older of the two each year for a new one. This year, however, the town does not have a trade-in since one cruiser was, demolished in an accident in September. That accident claimed the life of OPP Constable Bruce Crew. Promotion should be mandate ..o ® frOra page 1 about criticism. "If Mac Campbell and Max Cutt weren't on the committee it would fall on its face," he said. "And other members have felt put upon because we they were complained about. A lot of the duties of the committee arose out of the Sesquicentennial in 1977, activities organized by a large group of individuals, but now are left to the tourist committee to carry on." Dialogue between the committee and council would ease the tension deputy - reeve Jim Britnell suggested. "Is there a polarization here?" he asked: "We took money out of the tourist budget last year but there was no official delegation that appeared before council. You just sulked. There was a lot of grumbling but nobody said let's talk about it. Much reference was made to the annual Festival of Arts and Crafts, organized by Lu Legg with assistance from the tourist committee. Tourist committee member Jean Adams said the festival was well established and should be run by a board of directors, separate from the municipality. It would also then be subject to Ontario Arts Council grants. The tourist committee is trying to do "too much work" and should dot more promoting Elsa Haydon told the meeting. "Nail and hammer work is done more on this committee than any other," she said. "But the personal element of the com- mittee is important and should be con- tinued. The Festival of the Arts is im- portant to the town but it it depends on an outside group it will lose its continuity. "I feel strongly that there should be continuity and security of the town's setup for the Festival of the Arts." Mrs. Legg who organized the Festival of the Arts each year with her husband, said the festival is important in promoting the town of Goderich but added that it was almost impossible to get volunteers to help out. "If you want progress, then moreTnoney is needed," she said. "Volunteers do not always show up and someone has to do the work." Some members of the tourist committee voiced concerns over the cancellation of meetings. Wfiile regular monthly meetings are scheduled, they are often cancelled and rescheduled, making attendance difficult for some. In a related matter, the committee agreed to close a Festival of Arts bank account that was not incorporated into the town books. In a report to the committee, ad- ministrator Larry McCabe said no other such account, in which expenditures were not approved or signed for by council, existed. McCabe said that $3,500 to $4,000 moved through the account and that nothing was wrong with the handling of the account." Councillor Jim Searls said the town contributed $700 to the festival for a reception and the committee spent an additional $620. e only account youfleed. D .

(photo by Dave Sykes) TripDisney to World is dream come true for Peter Sometimes, dreams can come true. Just ask Peter Doherty of R.R. 3 Goderich. For Peter, a long-time secret dream came true last Saturday as he was jetted off to Orlando, Florida to explore the fantasy of the animated and adventurous world of Disney World. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Doherty of Port Albert, Peter is a muscular dystrophy victim who attends classes regularly at Goderich and District Collegiate Institute. And it was in an English composition that he revealed a secret desire to visit the famed Disney World complex in Orlando, Florida. Word of that dream reached members of the Goderich Volunteer Fire Department and as one deaprtment official said, the dream certainly wasn't out of the real of possibility. "One of the guys mentioned that he wanted to go to Florida and 'Ive- just" started thinking, well why not." - - Things started rolling from there and before long a host of private individuals, ball teams, businesses and organizations con- tributed'to the realization of Peter's dream. Money for the trip was raised through donations organized by the fire department and travel arrangements and ac- comododations was arranged and sub- sidized by Thompson Vacations of Toronto in co-operation with Harbour Light Travel of Goderich. On Saturday, it was an excited Peter Doherty who left for the Court of Flags Hotel in Orlando with his parents Frank and Isobel. The Dohertys were to spend one week in Orlando, returning Saturday, November 26 and special trips and activities were arranged for their entire week's stay in Florida. Members of the volunteer fire depart- ment, who orchestrated the entire trip for Peter and his parents, expressed their thanks to many individuals, teams and organizations that helped make the trip possible. Some of _,the :.donors incl t;;;; Goderich Men's Football and S1owpih League, Cedar Lodge, Goderich Chryslers, 1. Little Bowl, Carlow Country, Kinsmen, the Police Association and many other in- dividuals who offered private donations. Anglers object to licence renewal The parks and waterfront committee of council has been asked to examine a request from the Maitland Valley Anglers Association urging council to object to the application of a licence to the Game and Fish Hearing Board by local fisherman Mr. R. Moody. In a letter to council, Maitland Valley Anglers Association president, Fred Salter said that Moody has made application to the Game and Fish Hearing Board for a licence to trawl for smelt out of Goderich.

The association boasts a membership over 200 and has been working with the Ministry of Natural Resources on a stocking program of rainbow trout for the Maitland River. Sport fishing would deteriorate because of the lack of smelt the association suggests. The fish licencing board will hear Moody's application in January 1984. Council referred the letter to the parks and waterfront committee and a recom- mendation will be made to council.
