Fire department urges rec. boardto move
BY JEFF SEDDON
If the Goderich recreation department takes
up new quarters in the grandstand at
Agriculture Park early in October it will be
more the fire department's doing than the rec
office.
The fire committee urged council Monday
night to set a date for the --move- and was told
that date would be announced early in October.
Councillor Brian Knights, chairman off the
fire committee, told council work needed to be
done at the fire hall was being delayed until the
rec department vacates its space. He said
wiring for an alarm, system for the downtown
area and wiring to be done for the new com-
munications system could not be done until the.
fire departm,,ent took over the rec office.
Knights told council if the wiring was com-
pleted in the space the fire department now
occupies it would only have to be moved, at the
town's expense,, when the department was
expanded.
Deputy -reeve Bob Allen, also a member of
the fire committee, added that the police
department was anxious to take over some of
the space now used by the rec office. He said
Teachers ...

prepared to compare these talks with the 1978
strike. As Cochrane pointed out the teachers
could work for years with no contract until
some sort of settlement is finally reached.
But he added that "doesn't mean they are or
aren't" going to work with no agreement.
The dispute in 1978 involved secondary school
teachers. This fact finder will be dealing with
negotiations for both secondary and elemen-
tary school teachers.
Shirley Weary, spokesman for the secondary
school teachers negotiating team, said she was
"optimistic" the appointment of a fact finder
was hasty. -
Weary said there are three clauses in the
Education Act which require a fact finder to be
appointed. She said one of those is impasse
which she adds "gets everyone hung up".
She said negotiations are not at an impasse.
She said the Act states that if an agreement
between a board and its teachers by September
1 a fact finder will be appointed.
"If there's a ,problem it's with the Act," she
said.
Weary conceded that negotiations have been
slow but said they have been worthwhile. She
said she could not comment .on specific issues
but would only say "we're still negotiating".

with Haydon's comments. She told council that
if ."councillor Haydon wants to make a sermon
she should join one of the, churches in, Goderich
and make her sermon there".
Palmer said it was "very clear" why council
wanted Davidson removed as a voting member
of LACAC adding that council's action was no
reflection on Davidson's ability.
"Despicable, character , assassination?"
Palmer asked. "You've gone off the deep end,"
she told Haydon.
She `added that she has "never doubted
council's decision but it sure has taken a hell of
a lot to convince LACAC". '
Councillor Stan Profit told council he had no,
"discomfort" passing the new bylaw noting
that Davidson should have been an advisor to
the committee from the beginning. He said he
did not know if Davidson would even serve on
the committee in an advisory capacity adding it
seemed "logical" for council to find out.
m 4iCbuncillor Jim Searls told council he could
not support the bylaw changing Davidson's
status 'noting that the planner held the position
for five years and it was "hard to believe that
all of a sudden he's been so wrong".
Ignore law...

municipality.
Councillor Elsa' Haydon compared the
Sovies' operation to two other eating establish-
ments council had objection with.
A waterfront restaurant proposed by Bob
Gibbons ran into stiff objections and was
eventually scrapped by the developer. An ice .
cream stand that was an illegal use was
ignored by council and allowed to operate on
Stanley Street.
Haydon suggested Gibbons was "foolish for
going through procedure" with his restaurant.
She said had he "just put it up he would have
had out (council's) blessing". 1
Council showed no intention of enforcing its
bylaw choosing instead to table the matter.
Signal -Star adds
district feature
Beginning this week, a new feature has been
added to The Goderich Signal -Star. It is a
district news page, with a gleaning of the top
news stories from the areas in this part of
Southwestern Ontario during the past week.
District news is designed to keep Signal -Star
readers up-to-date on the major news events, in
Huron; Perth and Bruce counties, with par-
ticular attention to those stories which have
general interest in Goderich and area.
Your comments on this new service are in-
vited in the next week or so, to help Signal -Star
editorial staff assess the 'worth of this newl
Venture.
the police planned to use some space for a
sergeant's office and for administrative work
and would like the go ahead to expand.
"This keeps going on and on," said Allen.
"The fire department is trying to improve fire
protection in town and is waiting and being told
it can't finish the project until the- move is
made. It's only right it gets aclate."
Town clerk Larry McCabe told council the
move was being delayed .uptil an accounting
system can be developed for the rec office. He
said the rec office' had accounting problems for
years and an auditor doing the town's books
suggested the only, way t� clear up those
problems fast was to have the town clerk's staff
take over those books.
McCabe said town hall staff now does ad-
ministrative work for the rec office and that a
system is being developed the rec department
staff can use. He said there are a few problems
still to be worked out and suggested that council
delay the move until solutions are found.
"We're not against the move or the fire
department taking over but we are concerned
with accounting procedures," said McCabe.
Allen reminded council that the entire design
of the grandstand was altered to accomodate
the rec board. He said the changes delayed that
project pointing out that the board is now
delaying another project.
"All we (town clerk's office) are asking is to
get the problems out of the way before the
move," said McCabe.
Councillor Stan Profit pointed out there was
no need for the town hall staff to do all the work
for all offices. He pointed out the town has a
recreation director and a secretary in the rec
office.
"Can't they do it? Is that the problem?"
asked Profit.
"If so let's correct it toute suite," he added.
Reeve Eileen Palmer said the fire depart-
ment could be given a date once the concerns of
the town clerk had been resolved. She said the
fire and police departments could be given an
awnser in two or three weeks which would
allow McCabe to make sure problems that
occurred in the past don't happen again.
Councillor Elsa Haydon said the rec board
had a meeting slated for September 27. She said
that board could set a date for the move and
have a recommendation back to council for its
first meeting in October.
Farmers could lose right
Unless farmers
organize to protect their
industry, they will lose
their right to farm, Frank
Wall, Executive-- Com-
mittee Member, Ontario
Federation of Agriculture
(OFA), told a meeting of
area farmers recently.
Wall, a Norfolk County
fruit and vegetable
producer, said the
combination of federal
and provincial legislation
and local by-laws is
making farming in-
creasingly difficult
across Ontario.
Part of the problem,
said Wall, is due to the
increasing number of
urb,an people who have
moved to the countryside.
. These - people are
demanding that local
farmers change their
operations so as not to
inconvenience them.
"Unfortunately he -
k)1
said, "there are a
growing number of short-
sighted politicians who
are listening to them."
He pointed to the case
of a Huron area farmer.
A small hamlet is being
rezoned urban to allow
more houses in the area.
- As ' a result, 50 acres of
this farmer's land will
fall under new regulation.
If the farmer wishes to
continue spreading
manure on his fields he
will be forced to install
expensive storage
facilities.
If these trends, con-
tinue, Mr. Wall said, a
farmer will have more
need of a good lawyer
than of a tractor or a
barn.
Wall concluded by
calling upon farmers to
organize to meet these
threats. He said, the
cards are stacked against
