The owner of a 2003 white Chevrolet Silverado is facing this reality after their truck was stolen and found "completely destroyed" by arson. On September 3, some- time in the late hours of the night the vehicle was stolen from Seaforth on Coleman Street. The alleged culprits entered the unlocked auto- mobile and through a search located the ignition key, which was left inside a cup holder. Police say numerous tools were also stolen inside the truck's cab, including two grey and red Porter -Cable power drills and a small blue pressure washer. On September 9, Perth OPP officers located the truck at approximately 6 a.m. between Sebringville and Fullarton as the West Perth Fire had extinguished the blaze. After further investigation the authorities believe the burgundy box topper had been detached prior to the fire. Currently the investiga- tion is on-going. Any per- son with information regarding this incident should immediately con- tact Huron OPP at 1-888- 310-1122 or (519) 524-8314.

The plan came with a pam- phlet handed out by Hawley, outlining how this poten- tially will attract economic development. On September 14 at Seaforth's Royal Cana- dian Legion from 7-9.30 p.m., the strategic planning committee will bring together the information gathered at the focus groups. Hawley explained this pro- cess is conducted in three levels. "We are doing this collec- tively as a county, working together but also independ- ent," Hawley mentioned at Seaforth's historic town hall. "It gives us the opportunity to exchange ideas." The economic officer said that all of the nine municipali- ties in the region are also par- taking in the project all in roughly the same time period. Huron East Mayor, Bernie MacLellan was asked his take on the matter by Hawley and he said this might shine light on the municipality to areas that would not have been known otherwise.

"They were actually quite surprised with that, their own council didn't realize that, this is going to bring some information out and it may change the thought pro- cess of how we actually mar- ket ourselves as a county." Hawley said at the end of council that this "is not always about job creation," neverthe- less it's also about activities. If the youth who are petitioning for a skate park in Seaforth are interested this would be the opportunity to have their idea heard she said. This calculated planning Will take a few months to complete and she expects the next meeting for the focus group on September 16.
