The Goderich Signal-Star, 1986-02-19, Page 3ews Will purchase dispatch radios The town of Goderich will receive $4,682 to be used for communications equipment for directing and co-ordinating emergency response activities. The grant will fund 50 per cent of the cost of two additional por- table radios for the fire department, the police department, the works department and the Public Utilities Commission, ac- cording to. the town'sco-ordinator for emergency planning, Police Chief Pat King. The radios will bve two channels. One will be strictly used in the event of disaster or emergency to permit the four depart- ments to communicate with each other to co-ordinate response activities. The other channel will .be a department operational channel to permit daily use of the radios. Under the federalrovincial Joint Emergency Planning Program (JEPP), the federal government contributes one half of the cost of projedts to enhance municipal emergency response capabilities, with the municipality paying for the other half. Limit location of carnival rides Carnival rides, which attract significant numbers to the downtown area during Kinsmen Summerfest each July, can only be located in two sections–from North Street to West Street or from West Street to East Street. An investigation by the Goderich Kinsmen uncovered this information which Goderich council concurred with at its Feb. 10. meeting. "The Kinsmen are aware of the objec- tions of some merchants to the Carnival rides and realize the impossibility of satis- fying everyone. However, they depend upon the Summerfest and the Carnival rides as their major fund raising project in orderto donate funds towards a variety of community programs," Ross McDaniel of the BIA reported to council. The rides could not be located on radiating streets because they would in- terfere with fire routes to the rear of stores, the Kinsmen said. They recommended to council that Sum- merfest rides be located from North Street to West Street in 1986 and from West Street to South Street in 1987 and alternate in the two areas every year.
