Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1995-09-20, Page 7• Puppies taken Who says newspapers, com- munity or otherwise, only print bad news? The Huron Ex- positor is pleased to report after last week's scoop of the week on eight pup- pies recently aban- doned at the Seaforth Veterinary Clinic that seven of the liner were spoken for. by shortly after noon hour the following day. The eighth pup had health problems the local vet clinic wanted to make sure were solved before making it available for adoption. One caller thought we were too negative. "Sorry, just the facts, `ma'am'." We kind of had a gut feeling our readers in "The Friendly Town" and surrounding townships would take care of the rest. They did. Tails will wag. Thanks!

The Ladies' Auxiliary raised the money for the sign which was erected in time for the Homecoming weekend. The sign coincides with the 50th anniversary of the end of World War Il. The unveiling ceremony took place on the first day of Legion Week. McKillop sets property standards McKillop Township passed a property standards bylaw when its council met Sept. 4. The new bylaw sets standards and was passed in response to complaints the township has received in the past about junk and debris affecting the ap- pearance of various properties. * * * Dan Lambert, part Lot 30, Conc. 1, attended the Sept. 4 regular meeting and expressed concerns about dust control in McKillop. Councillors supported a resolution from Ashfield Township urging Huron County "to approve a thorough evaluation to of all alternatives to its landfill site." McKillop also went further, asking the county to further explore the services of Blucwater Recycling to reduce landfill waste and its costs. Clerk Marion- McClure notes there has been at least one instance in McKillop of refuse being picked up by a truck and persons unknown. Garbage piracy is a growing and more widespread problem in On- tario's larger urban centres, where market prices for such things as recycled newsprint and cardboard make it attrac- tive. McKillop feels the county hasn't fully explored Bluewater's services as a way of reducing landfill waste and its costs. * * * A joint agreement was authorized by McKillop Township with the Seaforth and District Community Centres. Council also gave the go- ahead to the Winthrop Com- munity Centre Committee to apply for a beer and liquor license for a ball tournament, Sept. 15-16. Council endorsed some resolutions from other municipalities, and another from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters objecting to the provincial government's proposed gun control legis- lation, Bill C 68. A resolution from the town of Roxborough "that the government of Ontario ensure school boards not be permitted to download their budget shortfalls onto municipalities". and another from Carnarvon Township asking the Ontario Ministry of Health to implement sections of the Scott Report dealing with fee-for- service in rural hospitals, were also endorsed. Town will hire crossing guards Seaforth is going to take charge of crossing guards when the town switches to OPP contract service sometime next month. Provincial police have advised the finance and general government committee they will train and fill-in if a cros- sing guard is unable to work, but they will not be in charge of crossing guards on a daily basis as the Seaforth Police Force is now. The committee agreed the town will take over the hiring and supervision of crossing guards. Seaforth's finance and general government committee is trying to cut costs by using the photocopier less. It has agreed to provide a synopsis of committee and Council cor- respondence, but that in future not all correspondence will be photocopied but remain available in the Council cham- bers for viewing at meetings. ••• One parking spot on Main Street has been authorized for police only in front of the new OPP station, just north of Town Hall. Provincial police asked for two. Seaforth's finance and General government committee has also been advised the OPP telephone system that has been called a Panther is not a system Bell Canada sells or repairs. Bell has advised the commit- tee, according to its Sept. 5 minutes, "that if there is a problem at the OPP station, Bell will ask that they be as- suted there is nothing wrong with the Panther system before they 1ivi11 came out to inves- tigate their lines." ••• If the local Optimist Club folds, Seaforth may have to officially run Optimist park and its booth, which the town's recreation department is now actually doing anyway. Administrator Jim Crocker advised last Tuesday's Council meeting that the Seaforth Op- timist Club continues to be down to six members, and that if a planned membership blitz doesn't change the club's for- tunes Council may haveto address the situation by the middle of October. Tax arrears are improving in Seaforth. To date 60.3 per cent of the last fiscal year's arrears have been collected, or $85,087 of the January 1 total of $141,156. This compares to 64.6 per cent for the same period last year at this time, or $121,842.
