The Goderich Signal-Star, 1980-06-18, Page 18ii t <: [ M S. ONAI.-STAR, ' EDf OU„ BY JASON AJNSti $DAY, JUNE 1 The home. built canoe -that was reported stolen in last Week's Signal, was found Thur- sday . in a ditch on the Bluewater Beach sideroad. It had been hacked in two. The 16 foot boat, built from scratch by Shawn Watson of Goderich, had been completed only one week •before it was reported stolen on June 8. It appears that the thieves had planned to remodel the canoe by cutting the last two feet from the stern and making a squareback style of it. Realizing, however, that such a uniquely shaped craft could never be used in the Goderich area, it is likely that the project was abandonned in that ditch. It had been neither demolished nor masked %with paint but instead squared off with a saw and coated on the inside with a tar -like sub- stance. Various condiments required for fibreglass work were found with the canoe, but Shawn said that he had not left any of his own supplies with it on the night.it was stolen. As yet, neither, Shawn nor the O.P.P. have any clues. • Asked whether the canoe could be repaired as a squareback model, Watson said that it is possible but that that area would always be a weak spot in the craft. He also said, however, that he could use many of the salvagable components, such as the ribs, when he begins his second canoe. The second canoe, he said, will be much the same but with a few modifications to make it lighter in weight. New weathe BY JASON AINSLIE The MARS 1 weather reporting station will soon be operational, according to Environment Canada employee Steve Hardaker. Hardaker, who will be relocated in Toronto with a forensic weather outfit, says that the Goderich weather station will be manned by Graham Campbell, who worked here, previously but went to Cornwall to upgrade, himself. Once the' equipment is functional, Campbell will be testing its accuracy against ' the existing meol"eianisms and so the station will be open for a few weeks yet. The MARS unit, which stands for • Meteorological Automatic .Reporting Station, has only to be wired to the existing instruments How mobile?..o 1050 tie Last week, Signal -Star told the story of how this canoe was built, sailed once, then stolen. And on Thursday, it was found, like this, in a ditch near Bluewater Beach. The 16 -foot boat, built by Shawn Watson of Goderich, had been aban- donned with its stern sawed off and coated with a gummy tar. As yet, there are no clues, but if anyone has any information, the police would greatly ap- preciate a call.

The 15 -week project is being funded by the federal government and the Huron County Community. Social Service Council, a collection of agencies in the county. Three university students are conducting the survey and will be working out o.$ offices at. the Clinton branch of the Huron County Health Unit. Janice Dunbar from Belgrave is the project manager. A fourth year anthropology student at the University of Western Ontario, she is working with Joan Huether a Brussslels girl who is studying at •Fanshawe College and Debbie' Hunking, from Londesboro, who has just completed her first year at Fanshawe. Janice explained the• the group will first be documenting the existing services offered through clubs and private businesses including cabs and bus lines. With that information, it will be discovered where additional tran- sportation services are needed and a self' supporting working model will be established. Janice explained that in 1978, Huron Outreach conducted a similar study for the northern part of the county which calculated the percentage of senior citizens in rural and uxban areas and their access to transportation serviQ s• Janice noted that the majority of disad- vantaged people who need transportation aid are senior citizens and she said that there is a possibility that many orthese people are living in urban areas. Despite the further distance to travel, she explained that disadvantaged people in -rural areas are often helped by relatives and neighbors. The completed survey will be given to the Community Services Council for study. Any group or person who can offer information for the report can contact Action on Wheels in care of Betty Cardno at the Huron County Health Unit, 105 Shipley Street in Clinton. and the CN teletype computer re -programmed before the system will be on "go". In the wake of these developments, Goderich will be left without the usual services of a weather station.' Farmers wishing for frost reports, police requiring weather data or boaters and navigators interested in fog warnings will have to call a London office for information in the future. However, that office will only be able to give certain meteorological data and only presume on fog conditions by reading the ceiling height and the dew-poipt • level. In short, the new automated weather station will provide London and Toronto with a srloreline statistics keeper, it being the only post on Lake Huron between Wiarton and Sarnia. • And according to Hardaker, who is also a flying enthusiast, pilots who might plan a flight to Goderich on the advice of an on;ground weather observer will now delay that trip if a machine is, only able to provide superficial. information. "There, are advantages and disadvantages," he said, "'but the loss (of human observers) will affect many more people than just small -craft pilots." Dial for conditions Doors & Windows Sticking?
