Seaforth residents will soon be
gathering to meet or sit in a down-
town mini -park, if a town project is
successful.
The new parkette is currently
under construction between the
Seaforth Post Office and the
Toronto Dominion Bank.
"Hopefully it will be a place for
folks to sit and visit in the daytime
if they get tired (of walking)," said
Hazel Hildebrand, Seaforth Mayor.
"Right next to the post office and
bank it should be in a good loca-
tion."
The construction of the parkette
has been in the • town plans for
several years, said Hildebrand. A
more elaborate version of the
parkette was included in the
Seaforth Streetscape Master Plan
which was completed in 1988.
The parkette was planned for
completion last year but a change in
ownership of the post office build-
ing held up construction.
The estimated cost for the entire
project is about $8,500.
Town works employees are con-
structing park benches and a bicycle
stand for the site. The facility will
also feature trees, flower beds and
shrubs.
The concrete will 'stamped' with
a design and dyed a different col-
our.
"We're hoping to cement it next
week if we can," said John Forrest,
superintendent of Public Works.
The town predicts there will be
minimal maintenance for the
upkeep of the project.
The bulletin board at the current
site will be moved a few feet north.

Seaforth man receives special
service medal from Canada
Some 40 years ago Flight
Sergeant Frank A. Golding, a
native of Seaforth, served with
the Royal Canadian Air Force as
part of a Special Service Force
with the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. From 1951 to
1954 Flight Sergeant Golding
served at 1 Fighter Wing Head-
quarters, North Luffenham Eng-
land and 1 Air Division Head-
quarters, Metz France. As a
result of the service in support
of NATO, Flight Sergeant
Golding has been awarded the
Special Service Medal with
NATO Bar from National
Defence Headquarters, Ottawa,
Ont. Flight Sergeant Golding
returned to Canada in 1954. In
1955 he received his commission
as an officer in the Royal Cana-
dian Air Force.
He served as an officer in the
Royal Canadian Air Force and
the Canadian Armed Forces. He
retired in 1983 with the rank of
Major. Major Golding and his
wife Jane live in retirement at
125 Market Street, Seaforth.
Major Golding is a member of
Branch 156 Royal Canadian
Legion, Seaforth and is presently
'Serving as Branch Chaplain.
Water tower discussed
The Seaforth PUC received letters
recently from both the Seaforth and
District Community Centres and the
Seaforth Community Hospital
regarding the proposed new town
water tower at.each of the sites.
To give the two parties a better
understanding of the appearance of
the proposed water tower B.M.
Ross and Associates Ltd., of
Goderich, engineers for the new
Seaforth water tower, have sent
letters to both the arena and hospi-
tal which include photos of similar -
size water towers in different com-
munities and further information.
"The colours are optional (for
water towers)," said Tom Phillips,
PUC Manager. "Normally they're
light green, blue or white."
Concerns from the arena board
regarding the proposed structure
were referred to the engineers who
will report back to the PUC for
their next meeting. "We'll proceed
from there," said Phillips.
Home and Garden Show
PUC Manager, Tom Phillips,
reported a good rapport with stu-
dents, young people and adults in
regard to the Seaforth PUC's
"Highline Hazard" display at the
home and Garden Show on April 6
& 7. "The questions from young
people were very good. They know
what can happen," said Phillips.
The Seaforth PUC is planning an
in-depth presentation on electricity
at both Seaforth elementary schools
on May 16. The presentation will
include the Highline Hazard demon-
stration and a question and answer
session, said Phillips.
Water Services
The Seaforth PUC recently dis-
covered a few frozen waterlines
from Seaforth residents returning
from winter vacations.
"The frost is still coming up. But
there have been no main breaks to
this point," said Philips. •
There are three proposed new
housing water services that require
hook-up at South Main St., Church
St. and Louisa St. "That's equival-
ent to all the housing starts last
year. So it's a good sign," said the
PUC Manager.
The 1994 waterworks budget
includes proposed watermain exten-
sions on James St., Church St. and
Charlouc St. There could possibly
be some watermain work on Huron
St. along with hydro upgrades and
new installations as well, reports
Phillips.
Recyder serving
Seaforth named
top recycler
. The Bluewater Recycling Associ-
ation has been selected by the
Recycling Council of Ontario
(RCO) as the outstanding recycling
program operator for 1993. Ontario
Environment Minister Bud
Wildman made the presentation to
Bluewater Special Projects
Coordinator Lynda Rotteau at the
RCO's 10th Annual Waste
Minimization Awards ceremony in
Toronto last Thursday.
A total of 15 individuals and
organizations who have demon-
strated environmental leadership
were selected from more than 100
nominations from across Ontario.
Bluewater Recycling added a
variety of programs to an already
extensive list in 1993. Added to the
material'collection program in May
were boxboard and cardboard. Two
newsletters were distributed to
provide ideas to assist householders
in reducing their waste. The Associ-
ation has developed 850 pages of
curriculum to aid teachers in intro-
ducing environmental issues into
the education program. Several
Bluewater municipalities partici-
pated in the Ministry's backyard
compost project which put an addi-
tional 3,000 composters out into
various communities. Car batteries
and propane tanks were added to
the material collection list of the
annual paint exchange.
The member municipalities
deserve the credit, according to the
association. Many have participated
in various programs offered through
Bluewater to achieve waste reduc-
tion that in some cases is already
above the Ministry's year 2000 goal
of 50 percent.
