GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1987 --PAGE 13
Community News _
Martha still loves the old harbour area
I still love our Harbour and the old R.R.
Station, that nice old building looks so de-
jected - but I hope some screwball won't go
and tear it down. Seems, I heard the town
now owns it - so I know it should be safe.
I recall my first view of the Harbour in
1945, I was real excited about it. In 1946 we
settled in, more or less, on Wilson Street.
The big old Sunset Hotel was at the end of
Britannia Rd. and for a few more years was
busy with summer folk. As the younger peo-
ple went farther afield for their vacations
the older visitors gradually slowed down
and the Hotel closed. It stood, lonely and
deserted for many years, then was torn
down. We lost a nice bit of the past. Now

At the end of Britannia Road there was a

was quite steep, you just slid down - and

were lucky to be up right at the end of it. A
tangle of bushes hit you under those old,
crooked trees, some of them leaned so close
to the ground you could swing on them. A
long skinny build up of cobble stones reach-
ed out into the lake and its foot at the path, it
was rears y. Sort of cut the path in two.
That was knihere the big frogs were - you
could hear their noise •'up top". The bran-
ches hung low over this spot and those noisy
red -winged blackbirds kept you from get-
ting too close to the frogs. They warned the
frogs of danger.
The Roundhouse with its turntable and the
station, was just around the bend and the
pathway was just mud at that time. Now,
that was forty years ago' You could walk
out almost to the point where that new
groyne has been put in (-or oaf-) if you didn't
mind walking in the lake in spots.
('an't you just see how the harbour and
our shore has changed. 1 have so many peo-
ple who look at my painting of the harbour
as it was about 1947 or a little later, that
can't believe it was our harbour. One pain-
ting they haven't seen is my first one which
showed the big old, o° tanks. When I sat at
the first look -out - where you saw the fish
shanties - I could see tops of thein, several at
that time. I'll bet Mr. Chisholm was deliver-
ing the oil from there even then. So, they
were big and ugly and I didn't put them in
the scene later on.
In the tiny park that is being developed
down there' now, there was 0 pipe where
many people could get the fresh spring
water. It still works and we will have
another lovely park, whether the trucks
park alongside of it or not. Who cares - the
drivers will probably enjoy it most. Now,
how many Harbours have a park for the
truck drivers, a real PARK'? Well, Goderich
is well known for its hospitality.
In 1957 London Free Press reported eight
silos rising as grain facilities were being in-
creased. One of the most progressive and
productive communities in Western On-
tario. They report we had a population of
about 8,000 at that time ( the new sign must
have been up as it was 4,000 plus - for years
and years ). They said also, these trucks
have a capacity of 50 tons and about "20
trucks per hour could be handled at the
dock. I wonder how it compares, now, with
today's tonnage'?
I can't believe the number of new homes
that have been built in the last' couple of
years. FANTASTIC! I still believe that
Goderich will open (up on the map) like a
beautiful fan spread for miles and miles
around as new industry comes to the area.
Loading ships from far.countries with other
than just grain.or salt will spread the name
of Goderich-to countries allover the world. '
We have a lot for which we can be truly.
thankful, we often don't realize it, miserable
bits of crime bothers us. But we are lucky
we have an excellent Police Force who work
.., hard sand most important work with our
young people.- Now, that is what really
counts.,. Our young poeple will put a stop to
'drugs and booze which will help stop the
crime. I can see it happpening even now,
since boys and girls we drove an over the
country to their hockey and ball games, are
now grown, responsible persons with
chilkil w1 of their own and are teaching them
right from wrong. ( They'd BETTER be! (So
many of them now have beards and I can't
tell one from 't other, but they recognize me.
Good going ail you guys and gals!
hove you all,

AIDS investigated
. By Wilma Oke
The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic
Separate School Board, concerned about the
growing problem of 'AIDS ( Acquired Im-
mune Deficiency Syndrome) will in-
vestigate whether the board needs a policy
t� ,guide it should one of its employees ,or a
student acquire AIDS.
Trustee Ben Brown of Sebringville said,
"Perth County has recently recorded its
first AIDS death and maybe we should act
now rather than react if the situation hap-
pened so that cooler heads would prevail."
Mr. Brown mentioned the Nova Scotia
teacher who recently found he had AIDS
which caused a conflict when parents of his
students objected to him returning to his
classroom and teaching the children.
Trustee John Devlin of Stratford asked if
the Ministry of Education has a policy now
to deal with this situation.
Mr. Brown suggested that the by-law and
policy committee should determine whether
the board should have a policy or not.
While making plans to present the AIDS
education program to the students in its own
schools in Huron and Perth Counties, which
was prepared and developed by the Institute
for Catholic Education, concern was ex-
pressed about the Catholic students atten-
ding the public secondary schools in the two
counties. (The hoard buys education for 740
high school students in Huron County and
722 in Perth County as the board only has
one high school, St. Michael in Stratford. (.
Trustee Vincent McInnes of Wingham
stated, "I don't think we can forget about
the Catholic students in the public system.
Their very philosophy is totally contrary to
what we would teach."
William Eckert, Director of Education,
said the hoard has a right to question what
information was included in the public
schools' AIDS Curriculum.
"I don't know to what extent their cur-
riculum would differ from ours but we
should obtain that information as soon as
possible," he said.
Board chairman, Dave Durand of Zurich,
wondered if the Catholic students could opt
out of the lessons covering the disease but
trustee ,John Devlin said it was asking a lot
to expect young students to leave a class
when ideas contrary to Catholic morals are
being discussed.
He said, "Most teenage kids are very sen-
sitive and would rather sit and take it than
get up and leave,"
