(staff photo) Board seeks grants for tennis By Shelley McPhee Clinton's Recreation Committee will be taking -Over seeking grants for the proposed tennis courts to be situated at Central Huron Secondary School. The Huron County Board of Education relieved them- selves of all construction costs either for initial in- struction or for any future additions at their regular meeting in Clinton on May2. Since the board was volved in the project, Win- tario and Community Centres Art grants would have'been lessened, but with the recreation committee of the town now in charge, the tennis court project will be able to receive higher grants and the objective will' be reached. Tom Fox, staff advisor for the student's council and history department head at CHSS, reported to the board that $10,000 had been raised by the students and more is being hoped for. 'Another $5,000 will come from the Community Centres Act, while Wintario will pay the remainder of the $19,000 cost of the two courts. Included in the recom- mendations suggested, the board will share the cost of upkeep and maintenance with school in thenorthwest corner between the parking lot and sports field.

At a special meetkng on April 29 the committee passed a three-part motion concerning the site for the housing plans. The committee is requesting that Sidney Kay of the Ontario Housing Cor- poration (OHC) attend a meeting on May 4 with the Housing Action Committee. He will be required to bring M. Nestor, an OHC architect, with him and have in- formation at that time on site selection, a feasibility study, conceptual site plans and CMI -IC requirements for senior citizen housing. The committee will advise Kay at this time of their opinion that the core site is the best site for senior citizen housing. They will also recommend to council that the purchase of this site be subsidized if necessary. The committee is hoping to„ work with an architect ap- pointed by the OHC to prepare proposals suitable to the core area site. The OHC employees working on the site and plans for the senior citizen housing in Goderich have been en- couraging the highway site on Bennett Str-eet over the core site on West Street because of its lower cost advantages. Roman Dzus,' Goderich town planner and member of the HousingAction Com mittee says,_ "OHC just came in and presented their own plans. So far they've been calling all the shots.." Don Wheeler, a member of the ,committee says, • "On theiown they (OHC) went off and selected two sites and pushed the one they wanted. OHC is not being totally fair to us. Where this was sup- posed to be a co-operative venture, it has become a unilateral one.' ' . Mayor Deb Shewfelt'say5', l'We need a package showing OHC what we propose. We have to say this is where it (senior citizen- housing) should be and this is where we're going to put it." t -Shewtelt says he thinks OHC is giving the committee a "snow job. Dzus passed around a report showing the im- portance of access to the downtown area to the well being of senior citizens. While all members of the Housing Action Committee agreed that they need another site feasibility plan, Coun cillor Bob Allen said he fears the' committee may be "putting up too many road blocks." "We're starting to look in the paper like we don't want housing. We don't want to tie up this project," said Allen. Mayor Shewfelt says anything OHC does will take at least two years.
