Airportcommitteer
Goderich Airport Co-ordinator Terry !Meriam
has been recommended for a hill $1,000 salary
boost, pending the approval of town council.
If granted, the increase would bring
Meriam's yearly rate of pay to $13,000.
"I have no hesitatiolti in making this
recommendation," Councillor Dave Gower told
the airport committee at its meeting last
Wednesday night. He added t iat,the increase in
responsibilities given the co-ordinator"inothe
past year justifies the salary raise.
Committee chairman Dick Wright also
proposed that council consider paying Meriam
a vehicle expense allowance to cover the cost of
using his own car on errands from the airport
into Goderich.
The pay -raise recommendation was objected
to by Councillor Don Wheeler who felt that it
would lead to similar salary increase requests
from other town employees.
Councillor Wheeler registered the ' only
dissenting voice in the vote on the motion which
followed.
• AIRPORT PROBLEMS DISCUSSED
Chairman Dick Wright gave a report to the
airport committee on a general ,meeting of
airport managers which he attended a the
Buttonville Airport near Toronto in July. He
explained that all airports represented at the
meeting seem to be suffering from the common
problem of the lack of public accdptance of the
airport in their communities.
_According to Wright, some airports are
getting involved in promotional campaigns to
try to improve their public image.
The Buttonville meeting also dealt with the
problem of vehicle traffic on runways, the
liability problems arising out of accidents
which occur at an tWattended airport, and the
leasing of land on airport propert .
Works Commissioner Ken Hunter was
elected to attend future meetings\f the Airport
Managers' Association along with - another
member of the airport committeeto. be named
at a later date.
NEED MASTER PLAN
The development sub -committee was in-
structed ti) proceed with the updating of a
"master plan" of the Goderich airport so that
future expansion and improvements can be
more easily worked into the overall' operation.
The proposal for the new plan arose out,of a
discussion of the possibility of working with the
pilots at the airport on a project to build some
new hangers. Dr. Dick Speers had visited
airports in St. Thomas and Brantford and
reported back, to the committee on some of the
new hangar designs that are available and their.
costs.
Another use for such a plan was raised by
Councillor Gower who suggested that a
designated helicopter pad might be required at
some time in the future and that a plan could
help prepare for that.
FUEL EATING ASPHALT
The problem of the asphalt around the fuel
pumps being eaten away by spilled fuel, was
discussed at length by the committee, and a
decision was made to look into the costs of
covering the surface iJr the pumps area with
concrete instead of asphalt.
Hunter explained the costs of a special
treatment procedure to protect the existing
ashpalt, but. the committee felt the costs of that
process were too high.
Senior Citizens' complex one step closer to reality
The Goderich and area Planning Board
- --._...-in-itiated-steps•.to-rezone -property at -the. -.corner___
of Waterloo and West Streets to accommodate a
new four -storey senior citizens complex.
Tentative approval was given to the new four -
storey plan as presented by architect Nick Hill
at a public meeting last Thursday.
Approximately 50 people attended the meeting
in the Assessment Office board room.
Originally the Ministry of Housing wanted a
five storey unit on the site, but last week of-
ficials gave tentative approval to a four storey,
53 -unit plan presented by Hill. Hill said that
ministry officials were convinced that a four
storey, 36 foot building would blend' in better
with the residential neighbourhood on West
Street.
Hill's design, as presented to the ministry
and the planning board, calls for a 36 foot high
staggered building containing 53 senior citizens
units. The building will contain 51 one bedroom
units and two handicapped units on the ground
floor, as well as a caretakers apartment and
service and mechanical rooms.
Grandstand
repairs to
cost X60,000
- -._..- The-...Goilerich sports- comlinittee passed ,a
motion at a special meeting last week calling
for Schiedel Construction Company of Cam-
bridge .to pay for repairs to the partially -built
grandstand.
The repairs, which would cost approximately
$60,000 are needed to accommodate a full view
of the racetrack . from. all (seats. in. the .grand-
' stand. As the structure sits now , -only a small
portion of the track can be seen from the rear
seats in the grandstand.
Construction on the $230,000 grandstand was
halted about two weeks ago until a practical
solution to the problem could be reached. Last
Wednesday the sports committee, members of
council and a representative. from Schiedel
Construction met in a closed session.
Committee chairman Bob Gibbons said that
it would cost approximately $60,000 to lower the
steel at'the,front of the grandstand and raise it
at the back. He said the grandstand would have
to be lowered 21%2 feet in the front and raised in
the back to perm 'a full view of the, racetrack
from every part of the grandstand.
Gibbons explained that the problem was in no
way the' committee's fault and that they were
not going to pay any money to rectify the
problem. Original sketches :of the -grandstand
indicated a height of 10 feet at the front and that
'was changed to 12' 6" when the grandstand was
put up.
Schiedel pointed out to committee members
that the work to correct "'.the sight problem
would cost $60,000 but the cominittee has asked
the contractor to rectify the problem at his own
expense. ,
Mayor Deb Shewfelt said Tuesday that
Schiedel had not replied to the committee's
stand but he expected a counter proposal of
some sort by Wednesday or Thursday.

There will be balconies for the units at the
front of the building and ground floor units will
have rear patios. Because of space restrictions
parking has been provided for 20 vehicles at the
rear of the building but County housing
authority official John Lyndon indicated that 90
percent of the applicants have cars.
Planning board chairman, Tom Jasper, said
that although the Ministry wanted a five -storey
structure they were willing to pursue a four
storey building that blended with the neigh-
borhood.
"I think this is a building in design with the
community." he said. "The Ministry is willing
to go with four storey design and I think it is a
good design."
The planning board has already made an
ammendment to the official plan and now must
school show a real hit at Blyth festival
By James E.
Fitzgerald
It is a difficult subject
to handle even at the best
of times, but to present
the teachers' strike in
Huron County as a one-
man show would appear
at first glance to "be
impossible.
But Ted Johns pulled
all his tricks out of• his
bag and "The School
Show," which opened at
the Blyth Sommer
Festival last week
destined to be one .of the
big audience pleasers of
this year's five -show
offering.
John's, a Mitchell
native:whose--par-ents-sti-ll
live in the Clinton area,
displayed his exceptional
talents Tuesday night at
the opening of the one-
man show before a
packed house, andhad
the audience, which was
liberally sprinkled with
teachers and school
board trustees, rollicking
in their seats. '
In fact, Johns handled
the material so.well, that
he had sporadic applause
throughout the two-hour
show, and_,received a ..
standing ovation at the
end.
Johns , has obviously,
done his homework on a
very complex _ subject,
and he certainly pulls no
punches in his various
portrayals of a host of
people, including a
retired teacher, a
dedicated teacher, `" a
disenchanted Housewife,
a town eccentric, who
turns out to be as sage as
anyone, and a farmer
disappointed in his
teacher son's greed. theatre performed at
"The School Show" is Stratford or in Toronto,

RADIO SYSTEM DISCUSSED
Transport Canada recently flew into the
Goderich Airport Unannounced to conduct a
security and safety check: Concern was ex-
pressed in their report, about vehicles on the
runway when incoming planes are attempting -
to land.
The report suggested that each vehicle used
on the runway be equipped with flashing lights
and a radio system that would allow airport
personnel to be alerted by incoming craft.
Meriam demonstrated a portable unit tg the
committee, but the $1,500 price tag was con-
sidered to be too high.
It was finally decided to do some market
research into the costs of less- sophisticated
radio units for use by Meriam.
pass a zoning bylaw to accommodate the
housing project. The board has already
recommended that council proceed with the re
zoning.
Huron County planner, Roman Dzus,
estimated that work on the project would not
begin until spring of 1979. He said the target
date for drawings for tender is October 2 with a
tender periodlof about two months.
