New Canadian Tire dealer feels. 'luckyin Seaforth
BY DAVID SCOTT
Expositor Editor
Brian Cunningham feels like
he won the lottery moving to
Seaforth.
The new Canadian Tire
dealer from Bowmanville was
offered the opportunity to
manage to the Seaforth fran-
chise. After completing the
training dealer program he
knew he would likely have a
store in one of 50 smaller
Canadian Tire locations from
Newfoundland to Victoria, B.C.
"1 feel like I've wort the
lottery coming ' to Seaforth,"
said Cunningham.
"I feel particularly lucky,
especially because we have a
great staff. Helen Southgate has
over 20 years experience.
Cheryl Kruse worked in the
store since 1979. And there's
three generations of one family
working in the store: Bill
Brown, his daughter, Norah
Eckert and her daughter,
Tanya."
Presently, Cunningham is
living in Seaforth with his 18 -
year -old son Chefs, an OAC..
student at S 3aforth District
High School. The new dealer
hopes to be jo, led soon by his
wife, Josephine and three other
sons, ages eight, 14 and 16.
Josephine Cunningham
teaches a learning disabled
class of 20 in Bowmanville and
can't move until a replacement
teacher is hired and trained.

yew of marriage we've been
apart," said Cunningham.
He looks forward to meeting
the people of Seaforth and area
and will hold a "meet the new
dealer day" on October 14 at
Canadian Tire:
Cunningham says little will
change in the way of oper-
ations at the store. One thing
that will be introduced in Jan-
uary is a program where if any
item is not in stock from the
catalogue, it will be delivered
to the customer's door in three
days.
The new dealer is supportive
of shopping locally. "People
should always support and be
active in the town they live in."
Cunningham also admires the

Cambridge at the end of
September to present a cheque
to the Huntington Society of
Canada.
With the help of members of
the Order of the Eastern Star

Steepe, Carter sold raffle
tickets on three hand -made
items and raised $2,250 for the
fight against Huntington's
disease. Among the winners
were Louise Nicholson of
Seaforth, who won a quilt, and
Betty Millar of Londesboro,
who won an afghan.
Carter chose Huntington's
disease as her special project
because she has a friend with
the debilitating disorder. She
says, 'I have witnessed the
difficulty he and his family
have coping each day. I cannot
imagine living through this
illness.'
