Council shoots down, proposed • arena wage increase Councillor Bill Teall raised some concern over the full-time and part- time wages in the 1994 draft budget for the Seaforth and District Com- munity,Centr-s at Seaforth Town Council's Feb. 8 meeting. "I can't support a 4 or 7 per cent increase," said Teall. Full-time budgeted wages for arena staff in 1993 were $77,020. Actual full-time wages' for 1993 were $76,414. The proposed 1994 budget for full-time wages for the Seaforth arena is $79,893 (which is a 3.73 per cent increase from the 1993 budgeted wages and a 4.55 per cent increase from the 1993 actual wages). Part-time maintenance wages were budgeted at $25,254 for 1993. The actual -time maintenance wages were $29,024 for 1993. The proposed 1994 budget for part-time maintenance wages for the Seaforth arena is $31,365 (which is a 24.19 per cern increase from the 1993 budgeted wages and a 8 per cent increase from the 1993 actual r wages). Reeve Bill Benneu asked if the wage increases were a reflection of the increase in minimum wage. Coun. Marjorie Claus asked for a breakdown of school-age workers at the arena for the next council meet- ing and how many made minimum wage. Administrator Jim Crocker said the arena has experienced an increase in the number of hours the ice is being rented and the hockey school has increased arena profits. Council approved the proposed 1994 budget for the Seaforth and District Community Centres, with the exception of the issue of full- time and part-time wages. Hibbert Township has called a joint meeting of the five municipal - (Hibbert, McKillop, Tuckersmith, Hallett and Seaforth) that form the Seaforth and District Community Centres board (and the Seaforth Fire Area Board) on Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m. for a review of the 1994 proposed budgets for each.

Lioyd £� Isabelle Hamar, Norway (CP News 'Ser- vice, courtesy CBC TV News) The colour of the medals is the same but Seaforth native Lloyd Eisler and Isabelle Brasseur will fly home to Canada much more content this time. They won bronze at the 1992 Olympics in Albertville, France, with a sub -par free -skating perform- ance that had them frowning. But they won bronze Tuesday at the 17th Winter Games with one of the better performances of their seven years together. There were smiles all around in the kiss -and -cry area where skaters await marks and Brasseur's arms were loaded with bouquets of flowers from admirers in the capacity audience of nearly 7,000 at Hakan Hall. "This one will stick with us for a long time," said Eisler. "I can't believe the feeling," added Brasseur. "I'm really sorry I missed that feeling, in '92, of what it is to win a medal in the Olympics and I'm so glad we had the chance to do it." It didn't matter to the reigning world champions that they'd fin- ished behind former Olympic cham- pions from Russia who had turned pro and been reinstated for the Olympics. Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov, winners in Calgary six years ago, won gold again; and Natalia Mishkutenok and Artur Dmitriev, winners in Albertville, settled for silver. "I look down and I see gold," said Eisler. "I don't think the pros should have been allowed to come back. If they weren't here we'd have been gold medalists and we'd be Olympic champions." Canada's other entries skated well: Kristy-Lee Sargeant and Kris Wirtz finished 10th, and Jamie Sale and Jason Turner were 12th. Brasseur, 23, of St. -Jean -sur - Richelieu, Que., and Eisler, 30, of Seaforth, Ont., became only the second and third Canadians to own two Olympic figure skating medals. Brian Orser won singles silver in 1984 and in 1988. They skated last in the final group of four pairs. Their technical merit marks: 5.6, 5.7, 5.6, 5.7, 5.7, 5.8, 5.7, 5.7, 5.8. Artistic impression: 5.7, 5.8, 5.8, Waste plan in effect for town BY DAVID SCOTT Expositor Staff Don't try to throw out your pet fish in the garbage, Seaforth's offi- cial "Solid Waste Management System" is now in effect. Town Council passed Bylaw No. 9 for 1994, implementing the bow system at their Feb. 8 meeting. The plan was shown to Seaforth's two garbage collectors, the town's Road Superintendent and a repre- sentative of the Mid -Huron Landfill Site Board prior to approval. The plan outlines "householder's" responsibilities for the proper dis- posal of their gafbage. Bylaw No. 9 also lists "Non -Collectable Waste" for Seaforth's garbage collection. The following will NOT be col- lected: • Manufacturer's waste (scrap steel, wood, manufacturing by-products, etc.). • Any explosive or highly combust- ible material of any nature whatso- ever. • Broken plaster, lumber or other waste or residue resulting from construction alterations, repairs, demolition, or removal of any building or structure. • Fluorescent lights with ballasts (contains PCBs). • Organic matter not properly drained or wrapped. • Liquid waste. • Hay, straw and manure. • Carcass of any animal. • Live animals or birds. • Any material which has become frozen to the container and cannot be removed by shaking. • Yard Waste - any organic or other like material that is capable of being composted, that is from yards or gardens, such as plants, leaves, small bushes, etc. • Recyclable Material - any material for which a system has been set up within the Town of Seaforth, to collect and recycle the material such as steel cans, newspaper, clean cardboard, etc. • White Goods - large appliances. Any item containing a refrigerant fluorocarbon must have a sticker/tag/notice signed by a cer- tified persok-that the item is free of all fluorocarbons, in accordance with regulations made under the Rnvironmental Protection Act. • Any material that has been banned from landfilling by the Mid -Huron Landfill Site Board. The new system also outlines the Placement of Containers and Bundles for Collection", "Mainten- ance of Sanitary Conditions" and "Enforcement" of the new bylaw. Containers are to be placed as close to the street curb as possible and not on the sidewalk. No house= holder shall place in excess of 12 containers and/or bundles for any collection. The Town of Seafdrth, from time to time, may set up systems to handle some of the non -collectable waste for reuse or recycling pur- poses. All other non -collectable waste shall be the responsibility of the houeholder or business, reads Section `C" of the new waste man- agement bylaw. Town wage increase An agreement was reached in Committee of the Whole at Seaforth Town Council's Feb. 8 meethhg on wages for full-time town employees. Those employees who earn under $30,000 a year will receive a two per cent increase. Thane employees earning $30,000 or more will not receive an increase. 5.8, 5.8, 5.8, 5.7, 5.8, 5.7. • Mishkutenok and Dmitriev fol- lowed and seven of the nine judges placed them ahead of Brasseur and Eisler. Gordeeva and Grinkov were next. Grinkov's jump landings were suspect. It appeared as if they might be letting gold slip away, but the judges surprised everybody by giving them mostly 5.95. The Rus- sian judge gave them a perfect 6.0 for impression. Bight of the nine judges had given Gordeeva and Grinkov top spot. Yevgenia Shiskova and Vadim Naumov skated last and just missed edging past Brasseur and Eisler for bronze. It was a 5-4 split in favour of the Canadian champs over Shiskova and Naumov for third spot. When they skated out for the medals ceremony, Eisler lifted Brasseur onto a shoulder and spun as the two waived to the crowd. Sargeant, 20, of Mix, Alta., and Wirtz, 24, of Marathon, Ont., who are in their second season were marked from 4.6 to 5.4.
