Grant tolerance Local Businessman Peter Strickland is planning a facelift for a commerical building, owned by his company P and, P Investments, on the corner of West and Waterloo Streets, in Goderich. Plans for the building ( formerly a video arcade) include conversion to office space fnd the construction of a. colonial -style ront to the building. In order to acheive the desired appearance, a four -foot exten- sion of the roof toward the sidewalk is planned. Pillars, placed on the property would support theextension, which would overhang two feet past the lot line. Goderich Town Council has agreed to grant a tolerance for the 11 -foot high exten- sion, but retain the right to order it remov- ed if deemed necessary in the future. Opportunities Tour Huron County will be among five Southwestern Ontario counties which, in TOWN COUNCIL conjunction with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology, will be hosting an Opportunities Tour in September 1988. The purpose of this tour is to Introduce American, and possibly European in- vestors to opportunities in this area. A number of municipalities are actively working toward the preparation of materials in anticipation of the tour. These materials include detailed municipal pro- files, brochures and the identification of business opportunities. In order to assist this work, the Huron County Department of Planning and Development is organiz- ing a meeting of representatives of involv- ed municipalities in the Clinton Town Hall auditorium on Nov. 19, at 7:30 p.m. Council referred the invitation to take part, received at the Nov. 9 council meeting, to the Economic Development Committee with power to act. "This is a very important happening for the Town of Goderich and we hope to to right at the forefront in touring these peo- ple from the United States and Europe," said Mayor Eileen Palmer. Plan update The proposal of Knox, Martin, Kretch has been accepted for the planned update of the Waterfront Parks Master Plan Study for the Town of Goderich by the town's Parks and Waterfront Committee. An upset limit of $15,000 has been set on the project. The committee noted, at their Nov. 3 meeting, that the province requires an up- date of the plan, before they will fund any further work in this area. The proposal is for an update of the plan and not for detail- ed drawings. A grant received for the study, under the Parks Assistance Act, totals $15,000. Dockmaster back The Goderich municipal Snug Harbour Marina will once again have a dockmaster in 1988. Commissioner of Works Ken Hunter recommended the reinstatement of Bruce Allin as dockmaster, as the main problem at the marina in 1987 was that there was no person in authority to deal with the public. Allin will work under the authority of Parks Superintendent Peter Spain. The Parks and Waterfront Committee concurred with the recommendation which was approved by Goderich Town Council at their Nov. 9 meeting. The committee also set the 1988 fee for the marina at $16 per foot.

It has been 75 years since the first 4-H members gathered together to begin, what has been for over three million young rural men and women, an enriching and educa- tional experience. During the week, two national programs coordinated by the Canadian 4-11 Council will take palce in Toronto — National 4-H Conference and National 4-H Volunteer Leaders' Conference — at which time the 75th Anniversary of°41 ut gangda'will be launched. From the -establishment of the first club in Roland, Manitoba in 1913, 4-H has become an important stepping stone in the personal development of young rural Canadians in every province across Canada. 4-11 programs — and 4-11 members — are measured by a high standard of excellence applied to the learning process and encom- passing citizenship, leadership, communi- ty involvement and initiative. The continu- ing participation of thousands of youth in 4-H is one indication of the success of the program. Yet the benefits of 4-H extend well beyond the personal fulfillment ex- perienced. 4-H youth make substantial contributions to the economy and to socie- ty. Each year, 4-H members carry out thousands of life -skill related projects while the strong emphasis 4-H places on good citizenship directly benefits their communities. 4-H stands as a prime example of cooperative planning and mutual support from private and public sources. More than 14,000 volunteer leaders lead 4-H pro- grams and help members develop and complete their projects. From farms, cor- porate suites, banks, schools and factories come the volunteer leaders who are the backbone of 4-H. Many have been involved in 4-H since their youth. For many, 411 is a family tradition - a way of life. 4-H is anchored firmly in the principles of human worth and individual ac- complishment. These ideals enhance and advance our society's basic values of establishing strong democratic institu- tions, encouraging private enterprise and improving social opportunity. 4-H has been and remains one of this country's great success stories, forging the best of part- nerships between the public and private sectors to stimulate and fulfill the poten- tial of youth. With decades of experience, 4-H is now primed to meet the needs of new generations who will lead Canada into its future, as it celebrates 75 years of living the motto "Learn To Do By Doing".
