No one sure of El Nino impact on winter BY BLAKE PATTERSON SSP News Staff EI Nino. People must like the sound of those soft Spanish consonants, because when it comes to weather, El Nino is a hot topic these days. El Nifio refers to a periodic warming of sea surface tem- peratures off the coast of South America which through convection affects the trade winds and world weather. It usually happens around Christmas time and was named El Nino (the Christ child) by Peruvian fisherman who benefitted from its affects on area waters. This year, however, the EI Nino warming began in the summer, and no one is quite sure what will happen to our winter as a result. Weather reports give dire warnings of how the strange warrning of water in the Pacific Ocean will change global wind patterns and bring CLASSIFIED MAR KETPLACE "Advertise Across Ontario orAtxass the Cts,};: :tea SANTA'S SHOPPING BAG EVENT.

Aside from those sensation- al reports and the linguistic thrill of talking about a weath- er phenomenon named after the Christ child, weather experts in Canada and at least one local farmer are not quite so sure El Nino will play havoc with the atmosphere in these parts. Bruce Shillinglaw, who tarms a• cash crop operation near Londesborough, has monitored the equatorial Pacific water warming, and he doesn't intend to change his planting and harvesting sched- ule significantly this year to compensate for any potential warming, cooling or raining caused by El Nitio. If at all, he said El Nifio could impact the arca the fol- lowing year by creating cooler weather conditions and offer- ing the crops fewer heat units. As such, he said he intends to plant early crop varieties as soon as possible and generally try to be timely with his har- vesting. As for this year, however, he said it's still uncertain if El Nifio will have any impact locally. "You can't really get too excited about it," he said. He expects conditions this fall to example, there will be less be cool and wet, and as usual, call for highway dc -icing and farmers will have to struggle less demand for road salt. through it.

Debate on part-time town help Council unanimously accepted thc report of Seaforth Public Works Superintendent John Forrest at last Tuesday night's meet- ing, but not without some interesting debate and dis- cussion on one item. Forrest said the work- share program with the arcna for summer grass cut- ting and winter snow removal worked well in the summer "but the arena is unable to provide the help we need for snow removal in the winter." "Because this work is from 5 to 9 a.m., on an on- call basis, I am having trou- ble finding someone," his report states. "Jason Beutenmiller has agreed to work these hours and will be available for work as his current employment is end- ing soon" The Works superintendent asked permission to hire him, part-time, as needed ($8 per hour, 20 hrs max) to help with snowplowing for the winter. Coun. John Ball asked if the town would be better off hiring someone on the county workfare program. Clerk/administrator Jim Crocker says of the half- dozen workfare employees the town has used so far, five of them have been more trouble than they were worth, either having to be hounded to go to work or because their work, when they got there, was below acceptable standard, or just plain shoddy. "We had trouble tracking them down and they literal- ly just don't show up," he said. Even though the five had been cut off welfare, he said, that didn't leave the town any further ahead. Accepting this, Coun: Ball thcn wondered if the town couldn't expand on the idea of using a part-timer because it had "the potential for reducing cost." He thought thc Works department might be able to use a part-timer to cut down the overtime cost of regular staff during snowstorms in the winter. "That would he thc same thing as me moving into your classroom and teach- ing," Forrest quipped back immediately. Coun. Ball is a teacher. They were on strike at thc time, adamant that thc gov- ernment not use teachers who are not certified in thc classroom. The councillor didn't pur- sue his line of rcasoning. The part-timer would be running thc loader and wouldn't be qualified to run the plow or blower in any case, the Works superinten- dent added.
