PROPOSED PLANS - Renovations to the Seaforth Library
are expected to begin soon. The proposed plans have the
new main entrance to the east, or rear, of the existing
building off George Street East. Included above also are the
proposed plans for the new lobby.
Truckloads of felled limbs
Works employees were busy
in Seaforth in the wake of the
that vicious storm that ripped
in off Lake Huron in the area a
week ago Thursday night.
Superitendent John Forrest says
his, crew chipped nine and a -
half truckloads of fallen leaves,
limbs and branches in town in
the four days following, com-
pared "to maybe one a month"
normally when they aren't
cuttin down trees on. . u i . se.
"There was not as much
damage here as the got on a
single street in Goderich," he
notes.
The town's chipper was
loaned to Goderich after
Seaforth managed to clean up
its relatively minor mess.
* * *
Thieves weren't "good
Samaritans" in Zurich after that
same storm.
The stole a van then hit the
local liquor store, carrying off
about 50 assorted cases of
booze with an estimated value
of $10,000.

Vicious storm
not twister,
but clustered
thunderstorms
The weather that came off
Lake Huron and belted
Goderich, causing so many
problems a little more than a
week ago, wasn't a twister but
rather a cluster of really intense
thunderstorms, officially termed
a meso cyclone complex, or
MCC by acronym.
"It was a tremendous cell on
radar, and Goderich was right
in the centre of a cluster of
several very extretrie
thunderstorms," says Environ-
ment Canada weather specialist
John Hoekstra of London.
The storm centered on
Goderich uprooting thousands
of trees and caused millions of
dollars in damages, in Huron
County and elsewhere in the
province. It developed over
Minnesota, travelled across
Michigan and the lake and
slammed into southern Ontario.
Hoekstra says the bluffs
along Lake Huron may have
helped foster the gusts of wind
that did much of the damage.
Environment Canada says
when the storm touched down
winds had gusts estimated from
87 to 122 kilometers and hour.
It also dropped 40 to 50 mm,
or about five inches, of rain.

Hearing Test - Fast,
Simple, and Important
For All Ages
Q. I recently had a hearing test
and was told that I hear nor-
mally in the low frequency
range, but that I no longer hear
high -frequency sounds well.
Can you please explain what
this. means?
A. You have what's known as
high -frequency loss. This
means that you may hear low
tones well, but sounds
produced at a higher pitch or
frequency, are difficult for you
to hear. The higher the pitch
(say for example, the notes at
the high end of a piano
keyboard), the more difficulty
you probably have in hearing
or distinguishing the sound.
The important word here is
distinguish. If you ploued
speech pattern on a frequency
scale, you'd see the vowel
sounds fall into the low-fre-
que-ncy range, whereas con-
sonant sounds are at higher
frequencies.
So a person with your type of
loss may have problems distin-
guishing between consonant
sounds. Telling the difference
between CAP and TAP, for
example, may be difficult.
High -frequency hearing loss
may occur with advancing age,
or as a result of prolonged
exposure to loud noises. It is
usually not correctable
medically or surgically but, in
most cases, can be helped by
hearing aids.
Visit the Hearing Care
Centre at 7 Rattenbury St.
E., Clinton, for a complete
bearing evaluation.
Trained personnel will help
you select the right hearing
aids for your particular hearing
loss.
