Chief Hal Claus is recovering from an operation and the local force is scheduled to be replaced by the OPP later this year. * * * Seaforth's Business Improvement Association has asked town Administrator Jim Crocker to attend its next meeting "to .discuss bylaws governing businesses and the arena." Main Street businessman Trent Ward expressed concern at the BIA's June 21 meeting about the local association, "communication amongst mem- bers". and "the issue of home occupations:" He said "he was present to ask for BIA sup- port," according to the as- sociation report to Council. The owner of the Queen's Hotel, Betty Kittar, supported • Ward's contentions, the report continues, "and questioned food being sold at the arena, and by whom, and why weren't food -service suppliers in town given the opportunity to cater to arena food requirements." * * * Seaforth's recreation and parks committee couldn't muster a quorum for its regular session last month "but seeing. no major decisions had to be dealt with" went on with the - meeting anyway. The students on the commit- tee were into exams, but a couple of other members whose absences are frequent also couldn't make it in June. Seaforth Clerk Jim Crocker advised Council at last week's meeting that should a no quorum situation arise in future the committee be advised not to proceed. A councillor commented that should the AWOL problem persist it may be need to be addressed. * * * The federal government gave Seaforth a $200 grant for its recent Canada Day celebrations. ay, * ** Seaforth Clerk/Administrator Jim Crocker • has been on vacation since July 13. He is scheduled to return next week. In his report to Council at its July 11 regular meeting he noted that, to date, $75,267 (53.3 per cent) tax arrears have been collected of the January 1 total of $141,156. This com- pares to $116,192 (63 per cent) collected for the same period last year. Council also approved its administrator's overtime report for April through June, which totalled 123 hours. * * * Seaforth Mayor Irwin Johnston earned $385 foratten- ding six meetings_ last month, and did not charge for another seven events attended: Council also approved the following expenditures for June meeting attendance at its July 11 regular meeting: Reeve William Bennett, $270; Deputy -Reeve William Teall, $180; Coun. John Ball, $225; Coun. Brian Ferguson, $30; Coun. Michael Hak, $315; Coun. Heather Robinet, $270. • * * * A sub-commiuee reported to the Seaforth and District Com- munity Centres Management Committee last month that preliminary findings indicate between 55 to 60 hours of ice time. would be booked on a second ice pad. "No venture for second ice pad could go forth with the Seaforth Curling Club being a participant," the sub -committee stated. * * * Coun. Heather Robinet has been designated "artistic direc- tor" for the Town of. Seaforth's float in the Homecoming' 95 parade. * * * The owner of the Box and Smith Funeral Home on High Street has been given permis- sion by Council to install a directional sign on Seaforth's MainStreet. The transportation and environment committee recommended it to "make the town more user friendly to visitors" for "certain available services". Reeve Bill Bennett asked what type of business the com- mittee would extend the same privilege to. Administrator Jim Crocker replied it wasn't con- sidered advertising, more a "friendly gesture to business people" and future con- sideration might be given on "a case-by-case" basis: * * * The Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Com- mittee (LACAC) is jazzing up its walking tour brochure in time for Homecoming '95. Members feel the old brochure is heavy on words and light on illustrations, so has hired local artist Brian Haley to provide sketches and make it more eye - appealing, at a "maximum cost" of $150. * *.* LACAC has given permission for the owner of a designated property at 77 Main Street South to replace 32 windows on the cast side of the building, at an estimated total cost of $4,500. Committee minutes note. "there -will be no change to external appearance." Huron 4-H Club hosts guests in exchange A couple of Seaforth-area youths will soon be off to Newfoundland in a group of 11 for a couple of weeks as part of a Huron 4-H Club exchange. Rob Van den Hoven, 14, of RR 4 Seaforth, and Mike Van Bake), 15, of Egmondville are involved in this year's Connec- tion Canada 4-H program. They will live with families from Sommervilie,.which is on Bonavista Bay on New- foundland's cast coast about half -way between Gander and St. John's, from Aug. 10 to 21. But first the Huron group is hosting the Newfoundlanders. A group of 11 from that province arrives in the county this evening for a stay until Aug: 6. Area co-ordinator Melody White of Brussels says there was a similar exchange two years ago with New Brunswick. There will be a pot -luck supper tonight at the OMAF office in Clinton where the out -of -province guests will be formally greeted. * * s Seaforth's transportation and environment committee is discussing a parking agreement on town property with local truckers. Robert Hiusser previously sent a letter to Council expres- sing concern local truckers had nowhere to park their rigs except the street, which he thought unsafe. Commercial taxes on the proposed town property near the trace •about $600. Com ittee minutes state: "items discussed with Mr. Hiusser were payment of a nominal fee; no repairs; each trucker would be responsible for snow removal and main- tenance of their designated parking area and security lightning." Seaforth Council is still pur- suing the possibility of setting up emergency access to the Jarvis Street railway crossing, recently used as a detour when the crossing at the tracks on Main Street was being improved. The town has spoken with the railway superintendent about "fencing and installing locked gates which would allow emergency use", for a worst-case scenario when, say, the Main Street crossing was blocked and emergency vehicles needed a shorter route than the "five - mile block through Tuck- ersmith Township. * * * Seaforth Council has declared town property appraised at $10,000 on Birch Street surplus and accepted an offer to pur chase for $7,926 from a Mitchell man, David Smith, who has a new business, Smith Packaging Ltd., in the in- dustrial park. * * * A business in the Birch Street industrial park has Seaforth Council's approval to fill in a 135 -foot ditch to provide ac- cess to its new level axle scale, which among other benefits will reduce "the number of heavy trucks needlessly travel- ling Main Street". Council agreed Design Concrete Sys- tems Ltd. should be allowed to proceed with the project, sub- ject to Works Superintendent John Forrest's approval.
