Big winds cause
problems in area
BY GREGOR CAMPBELL
Expositor Staff
An old tree was knocked
down by a big blast of wind
and fell on a truck parked on
Victoria Street by the rectory
and St. James School playing
field late. last Tuesday
afternoon.
It also took out a portion of
the fence there. The truck
was owned by Susan Nigh
But this area got off easily.
At about the same time, a
twister touched down in
Norwich.
It was the second heavy
wind in' '48 hours that
whipped through this area.
Another storm struck at
about 8 a.m. Sunday
morning.
It had the Seaforth Public
Works out chipping downed
branches before church
services later that morning.
Works superintendent John
Forest reported to council
Tuesday night that the
Sunday storm "did
considerable damage to the
trees in town but fortunately
it did very little property
damage."
He said the Works
department would be three or
four days cleaning up brush.
Parts of surrounding
townships were without
power for up to 36 hours
early last week because of
the same pair of wicked
wind storms.
McKillop's clerk, Marion
McClure, said road
superintendent Wayne
Dolmage reported about 100
trees were downed in the
township in one of the two
big blasts.
A family two concessions
south of Walton said their
power went out at about 8
a.m. on Sunday morning and
wasn't restored until roughly
7 p.m. the next day..
It was the same story in
parts of Tuckersmith.
Betty Upshall on the curve
of the Kippen line said on
Friday she was still looking
for some plants that blew
away, along with some lawn
chairs in the wind.
She says the power was out
in that area from 8 a.m.
Sunday until about 8 p.m.
Monday night.
Felled trees snapped poles
that took Ontario Hydro time
to`get back on line.
Sheds and parts of roofs
also blew away on various
farms in area townships.
Museum would opera
FROM Page 1.
A first payment of $3,750
could cover the last half of
this year and show support for
the history committee's
museum proposal, Coun.
Steffler suggested, depending
on what happens with this
year's budget down the road.
The remainder of yearly
revenues under the option
council opted for were
estimated at $3,000 for
admissions to the museum,
and $500 each for both
donations and fund-raising.
Contract services were
estimated as a $6,000 annual
expenditure under the option
council supported. Other
estimated annual expenditures
include $2,000 for salaries,
$500 for advertising and $500
for curatorial.
The local history committee
has been working with Huron
County museum director
Claus Breede for some time.
At its most recent meeting, on
May 27, he explained
"admissions are not on a cost
recovery basis."
NO PROFIT
"It actually costs about $15
per visitor to operate a
museum," Breede said,

twinning with a community
of similar size in Quebec on
the back burner at last
Tuesday night's meeting.
It surfaced last month, in
response to a resolution from
Orillia, which subsequently
forwarded more information
on the idea.
"I think we have to first
have a sense if there is
support in this community,"
Coun. Lin Sterner said.
Clerk/administrator Jim
Crocker said Seaforth already
had "responsibilities" in a
similar twinning -type
arrangement with West
Branch, Michigan.
Council decided to
officially defer any further
action, and run the Quebec
idea through local groups
who might wish to take it up,
for instance service clubs and
churches.
