ity service with his "mini
marathon" to raise money for

said Cumming in a telephone
interview.
"When I accept it, I'll accept
it on behalf of all the volun-

volunteers. What I did was
small potatoes compared to the.
large number of people in town
who contribute their time. A
big thanks should go to Marlen
Vincent (former hospital board
chair) and Bill Thibert (hospital
CEO) as far as the mini mara-
thon goes," he said.
"I still have a fond attach- •
ment to Seaforth. When I'm
out west, people ask me where
I'm from and I say,
`Seaforth.'"

Sharon Carnochan - Service to Sports Award
Carnochan busy year 'round
Sharon Carnochan, or Mrs.
Brad Carnochan of RR 4
(because there are two
prominent Sharon Carnochans
in town), is this year's winner
of Seaforth's "Service to
Sports" Citizenship Award.
She is a busy lady both sum-
mer and winter.
Sharon has been involved
with Seaforth minor ball for
the past eight years, as an
executive member, coach and
manager. She has been on the
local minor hockey executive
for the past three years. And
she has also represented both
organizations working with the
Minor Sports Council's weekly
Monday night fundraising
bingos, since their inauguration.
The Carnochans have four
children, ranging in age from 8
to 15: Kevin, Steven, Matthew
(all of whom play minor ball
and hockey) and the eldest Erin
(who works at the arena).
They run a mixed farming
operation, cash crop and pork,
in Tuckersmith west of
Seaforth.
Sharon says she played ball
for the Wildcats slo-pitch team
until two years ago, but had to
give it up because she was "too
busy".
She represents Seaforth
minor ball at inter -township
organizational meetings, assists
booking umpires and diamond
time, and has hosted playoff
tournaments. Her behind -the -
scenes work on the executive
includes organizing all equip-
ment and uniforms.
Last summer this involved 22
minor ball teams.
Sharon was also a member of
the original group that started
the annual mini -tyke tour-
nament.
Group thought tract might be worth more
Continued from page 1
She added the relatively low
quoted dollar value of the prop-
erty has given her group hope.
"I think a lot of people
thought it might be worth a lot
more," she said, "and 1 am
delighted that it is probably
going to he within our means."
But she said hope for fund
raising success does not mean
anyone is counting unhatched
chickens.
Graham said it is now up to all
the interested groups to work
together with the Nature
Conservancy, the county, the
MNR and the Conservation
Authority to decide just how
the Morris Tract should be used
in the future.
According to an MNR letter
submitted to the council Aug.
15, clean-up of the Tract should
begin before any heavy snow-
fall and will include a 'careful'
salvage of the more than 500
trees damaged in the upper,
western plateau arca.
They estimated the salvage
value of the timber to be about
S40,000, and said any cutting
that docs occur, will he closely
controlled while keeping other
uses and values of the wood lot
in mind.
