This week, every household in -Goderich received a 16}page brochure outlining spring and summer recreation for 1980. As well as the regular sports, acquatic, and -leisure programs, the town is offering several special events. - One of these special events will be the 5th Annual Sportsfest '80, to be held August 15, 16, and 17. The sportsfest is designed to encourage good sportsmanship, fun and low key competition. It will involve more than 20 low level sports such as archery, euchre, table tennis, swimming, ball hockey, shuf- fleboard, and a fun run. In conjunction with the sportsfest will be a major cycling. event. $1,000 in prize money will be distributed among the six race categories that include professional and novice divisions. Other special events include the Shriners Parade on May 31, the Lions Beef Barbecue at the end of June, an Air Show and Friendship Day on June 28, Founders Day on June 29, the Festival of Arts and Kinsmen Carnival, both in 'July, and the Goderich Bike Ride for Cancer on April 20. Several leisure programs are' being of- fered by the rec depar- tment this year, as well as sports programs. Youngsters will have the opportunity to get in- volved -in ''Bennie Belles', a six-week session that teaches cooking, sewing, and homecrafts. In the community centre auditorium every Sunday in May and June, there will be a children's matinee` shown at 1:30 p.m. Abbot and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, and Disney movies are some of the features to be presented. Some adult leisure programs offered are: ballroom dancing, disco dancing, dog obedience, guitar, rug hooking, weaving, and yoga. However, if there is not enough people that enroll in a program, it will not be offered. Leisure Buddies is a special service provided by-' .the . recreation department to assist the mentally and physically handicapped person to become involved in ,� community recreation programs as regular citizens. Volunteers are' incorporated into the pogram and act as a support person to the handicapped client. These volunteer leisure buddies work on a one-tq- one basis with the han- dicapped child or adult and provides an excellent experience for both people. There are two special acquatic programs of- fered this year. One is the Huron Sailing School that has five different levels in sailing instruction and participants can enroll in either the daily program or the evening program. The rec department in cooperation with Canoe Ontario, will be offering canoe demonstrations and instruction over a two-day period sometime during the summer. Areas to be covered in- clude basic strokes, and canoe rescue and saftey. These are just some of the programs and events that will be held in Goderich this season, in addition to the regular pool, and tennis programs and baseball leagues. Too much money spent on uniforms BY JOANNE BUCHANAN The Goderich Police Commission is concerned over the cost of police uniforms and the amount of money being spent on drycleaning the shirts that go with these uniforms by members of the Goderich Police Force. While reviewing the police accounts for the months of , January and February, Judge F.G. Carter, commission chairman, questioned two bills for •.clothing which totalled $926.68.. This . clothing included trousers and shirtsfor two police officers and Judge Carter stated his opinion that it all seemed rather expensive: The issue was further compounded when the commission learned that approximately $100 per" month is being spent by police officers to have ;heir uniform shirts drycleaned. This amounts to between 31200 and $1500 per year. Commission member Deb Shewfelt quipped that perhaps the com- mission was literally "being taken to the clearers"- --by -having --ttor.. pay such bills. Commission members collectively agreed that the town should not have to pay for the drycleaning of shirts which could be cleaned in ordinary washing machines. They questioned whether the shirts could actually even be considered a part of the police uniform and asked secretary, Larry McCabe, to check with the O.P.P. regarding their uniform cleaning policy. The commission. members agreed that, where necessary, drycleaning bills for shirts should be paid and they did not dispute having • to pay the drycleaning bills for uniform tunics and trousers. The accounts totalling' $18,166.24 for the month of January and $29,150.04 for the month of February also included $8,500 for renovations to the old. cell block area in the PPolice station. Another tt0,9 will be spent in addition to this amount as renovations near completion. In other business, the police 'commission" decided to support a resolution from the town of Palmerston requesting that the Ontario gover- nment increase the per capita .grant for policing to. municipalities having their own police force to the same rate of per capita grant for policing as that received by regional municipalities. The . commission also reviewed a resoution from the Waterloo Regional Police Com- mission regarding capital punishment and decided to support the first part of the resolution calling for the immediate re- instatement of capital punishment in cases of the murder of police officers. and prison guards. However, the com- mission did not support the second part of the resolution which requested the Federal Government to cease stays of execution of such cases after sentence has been pronounced by the courts. Judge Carter pointed out that new evidence could turn up after sentence had been pronounced by the court and in such cases, stays of execution should be allowed. The co„mmission received'and filed a letter from the Ministry of Transportation and. Communications giving permission to Canadian General Electric to multi; couple the Huron Municipal Police radio equipment into their drop repeater antenna tower at Blyth subject to cer- tain conditions. A letter was read from the airport . committee requesting permission to use the tourist com= • mittee's.'Courtesy car at the airport. Commission members instructed the secretary -to write a letter informing the airport committee that it doesn't need- the commission's permission because the courtesy car is not within their authority. Per- mission, they said, would have to come from the tourist committee which comes under the jurisdiction of town council. 4VagrAllivBer Th E SHORE PROPERTY HAZ ▪ Do You Plan To Purchase Shore Property? • Are You Already A Shore Property Owner? ■ Are You Interested In Shore Property Management?
