Manor enjoys patio party A wonderful outdoor 'Patio Party' was held this past week at Seaforth Manor Nursing Home in honour of Father's Day. A perfect summer afternoon proved a wonderful setting as Jack and Irene Vincent provided an excellent program of country and western music. Residents donned cowboy hats for the afternoon and relaxed under our patio umbrellas. Residents look forward to a rctum visit from the Vincents! Seaforth Manor's Garden Club was very busy planting new 'table gardens', located in the enclosed courtyard. These table Steckle defies Liberal party continued front pg. 1 Ottawa. All members must real- ize this." Last Friday, Steckle bucked his government for the second time in a week when 'he voted against the government's anti - hate legislation. Bill C-41,, which was passed 168-51, will tighten sentences for crimes motivated by hate. The law will require judges to increase sentences for crimes motivated by hate based on, among other things, race, reli- gion, sex, or sexual orientation. Steckle said his motivation for voting against the legisla- tion was based on the govern- ment's refusal to define sexual orientation. "We asked for a definition, but it wasn't to be," said Steckle. "When we look at the .variety of sexual orientations today, does this term, sexual orientation, also include necrophiliacs, or pedophiles. "All these things are unde- fined in this legislation." Steckle said he also felt "morally" obligated to oppose the bill. "People who know me, know that my moral values are close to those of Roseanne S4coke (a Nova Scotia Liberal MP who led a moral crusade against the bill)," said Steckle. "Some might think this is strictly a Christian value, but I can tell you that we have had tremen- dous support from the Sikh and Chinese communities. "So it's a human value, that homosexuality, by its very nature, is not natural." Steckle said he has no control over a person's sexual orienta- tion, but that those preferences "should be kept in the bedroom. "But now, it's all over the streets. They (homosexuals) want special days. Are we going to make a special day for heterosexuals?" Steckle said that under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, homosexuals already have rights. "I'm not going to apologize for my opinions," said Steckle. "And I'm certainly not going to stay away from the legislature to avoid voting on an issue." Steckle said that many aspects of the anti -hate legisla- tion are good. "Almost every measure was good, except this one," he said. "I had to stand up for what I believe." When asked whether he felt his stance against the two gov- ernment bills would have any affect upon government initia- tives the Huron -Bruce riding, Steckle said "not at all. "I can tell you this - If I am ever mistreated, the public will find out about it." fSeaforth Manor Nursing Home high gardens allow residents to sit in chairs and enjoy gardening at a comfortable level. So far onions and radishes have peeked through the soil with carrots and beets still to come! Our final moming of bowling for the season was enjoyed. A special thank -you goes out to Mrs. Vanden Akker and her grade 7 class for assisting in this intergenerational program. Fire board rejects tender for pumper The Seaforth Arca Fire Com- mittee wants to sell its used pumper, recently replaced by a more modern unit, but not at any price. At its May 29 meeting the board rejected as "too low" the only tender so far received for the 1975 pumper. It was for $2,700 from a Qudbec man. The committee sct a higher minimum sale price and authorized Fire Chief George Garrick to sell the used unit at this minimum or higher. nom 0t0 yo 4 �t�rla. 41441g4elaa�a/ . , .Keu•. 519-271-8620 309 Lorne Ave., Strafford J CORRECTION 1 BUYENW OF TOPB,C„ALVES $DYERS OF CALVES Grand Champion: Veals Meat Market, plus 3 calves Reams Grand Champion: Hensall Co-op, plus 3 calves ■■ UM=■11115gll■81111MISMIM■■MOMMUMM■MIIMNMMNIIIHIMNSIMMIIIIMIBMIMIS Come Join In The ELEBRAT Everyone Welcome AULT/STACEY CENTENNIAL MP MUG SAT., JUNE 24,1995 MITCHELL ARENA BARBEQUE 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. DANCE 9 p.m. -1 a.m. $16.00 per person (includes barbeque & dance) 68 ce Tickets Available at: AuuditrAcior 011e 348-8414 WAvnua IDA FAUST HARDWARE CHILDREN TICKETS (barbeque only) $600 each (5-12 years) under 5 years free D E ONLY TICKETS $1000 Age of Majority Tickets at Ault Office & at the door ■■■os■■■■mumansiso misss■ommeas■■s■MmMf■ FIRST ANNUAL 'CANADA DAY' WEEKEND Barbeque By Perth Cattlemen's Association Music by Eddie & The Edsels • CANADA'S FASTEST PRO BIKES OVER 185 MPH GEOFF POLLARD - TURBO CHARGED 1428 CC KAWASAKI.
