The Huron Expositor, 1995-01-18, Page 3News and Views Music is fun in new local program BY TIM CUMMING Expositor Editor Seaforth Co-operative Children's Centre is the only facility of its kind in Huron to offer a preschool music course called the Sunrise Program. ' The program is one of the Music for Young Children courses and is offered for children aged three to four. "People have just caught right on to it," said Shirley Brooker, admin- istrator of the Children's Centre. "It certainly has helped our attendance Thursday afternoons." The program, which introduces young children to such concepts as the beat of music and playing rhythm instruments, is conducted by Lauri Greenwood, of the Goderich arca (as well as by Mary Verbeme, an Early Childhocxl Education teacher). Greenwood says the program teaches more than just musical `kills. "They learn from the other kids and they learn a lot of listening skills," she said. A pamphlet pro- moting the course says it helps develop attention span, listening awareness and fine motor skills. Greenwood has been teaching music privately for six years and has been instructing the Music for Young Children programs for about a year. She says the program allows young children to harness their energy and put it into music.

"The beauty of it is there's no pressure...it's their choice, if they choose not to do it, they don't have to," said Greenwood. The Goderich- based instructor says the music course allows children to have a good time as they learn about inusic. In the past some children have resented such things as music lessons because they're seen as something that is forced on them. "This is to teach them that music can be a fun thing," she said. "They come away liking music rather than looking at it as a chore." There are four music teachers in the area who instruct the Music for Young Children series of programs. There arc two in Huron County (Greenwood in the Goderich area and one in Zurich) and two in Perth County. New milk shakes up dairy industry A new milk product could be a blessing for the dairy industry or it could just hurt the good name milk already has with most consumers, according to different voices in agri-business. Auk Foods, which is Canada's largest dairy with morc than ti 1.24 billion in annual revenue, i, launching a new product called PurFiltre, billed as u�icro-fitiered ',milk. Rival firm Beatrice sought to have a judicial order preventing Ault from claiming its new milk \\ as purer than ordinary milk. The chair of the Huron County Milk Committee, Barry Elliott of RR 1 Lucknow, recently returned from the annual meet- ing of the Ontario Milk Market- ing Board. He said many people are pleased to sec a firm adver- tising milk. -They're glad to sec a new product coming out." Elliott, however, echoes some of the concerns with this new product...that by advertising a 'imp' milk with longer shelf life it will discredit the milk products currently on the market. the product, which is more 'Both milks are very good..." expensive than regular milk, has lunger shelf lifc and a fresher taste. Some other dairy producers .espond by saying that once this new milk is opened it's the same as other milk. Currcnt milk products arc pure, adds Elliott, who says that no milk has additives to prolong .helf life. Many businesses in the Seaforth arca are taking a wait- and-see approach to stocking the prtxluct. "Both milks arc very good, the other milk -is very low in bacteria as well," said Elliott. "I'ersonally, I wouldn't want to xrr them advertising less bacteria (in PurFiltre)." Regular milk is already 99.3 per -cent pure after pasteuriz- ation, Ault admits, but makes the `92 times less bacteria' claim because its microfiltered milk 'is supposedly 999 -per -cent free of bacteria. The company claims Snowmobilers asked -riot ~to The 'Seaforth Police Services Board • ,directed Police Chief Hal Claus to remind local snowmobilers in an advertisement that under existing bylaws and provincial .statutes they are trespassing if they. urivc on anybody's property without permission. Snowmobilers arc also not allowed 10 drive on sidewalks, are restricted to half the speed limit of the roadway, and must be out of town by midnight until 6 a.m. Police report several incidents Seaforth Police report this past weekend they removed one driver from behind the wheel of his car who had been drinking. He was issued a 12 -hour license suspension. Last Thursday evening, Jan. 12, police also report an area 12 -year- old boy was struck by a minivan as he attempted to cross Goderich Street at the stoplights in dense fog. The boy, who was taken to hospital by ambulance but home the next day, was attempting to cross from the south sidewalk and the van was eastbound. Police say it was fortunate the boy did not receive serious injury. Last Tuesday, Jan. 10, a theft of money was reported to local police. The thief left town in a vehicle, later stopped by Sebringville Ontario Provincial Police. A young offender was arrested and returned to Seaforth. The money was recovered. No interest, , local committee lets issue drop Scaforth's Finance and General Government Committee has decided "to let sleeping dogs lie", and not proceed with passing a bylaw as recommended by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs to regulate adult entertainment facilities in town. The committee discussed the pros and cons but decided not to proceed with a by-law at this time because there have been no enquiries about operating this type of, business in Scaforth. Deputy -Clerk Cathy Garrick has since said a 1992 ammendment to the Seaforth Zoning Bylaw states "adult .entertainment parlours are not permitted in the Town of Seaforth. A Chief Claus said catching them was the hard part, identifying them under their plexi -glass helmets wasn't much easier and it was just a few snowmobilcrs who are making it difficult for all. Vice -Chair William Teall suggested . making sure the public knows the rules is "something we can do before it becomes a problem." Chair Steffler added she liked to be positive about such things so suggested "for the enjoyment of all" somehow be incorporated into the wording. Stefflcr also suggested a police presence would- be positive and show support at the upcoming public meeting considering a youth drop-in centre. The Board carried a policy motion by Vice -Chair Tcall, seconded by Bob Dinsmore, that police officers in Seaforth only trspass attend inside the arena on request. Chief Claus felt this might hamper the public mingling required of police work, but Board member Dinsmore suggested the best time for this would be between periods when officers are. often not to be found. The Board passed the motion, noting discretion might be the key to implementing it.
