DEAD BAT IN TREE
All councillors wondered
where a municipality draws
the line, for example, would
it be responsible for raccoons
too?
They have been as plentiful
as skunks in spots around
Seaforth this year.
Deputy -clerk Cathy
Garrick said as far as Town
Hall is aware, most
ratepayers seem satisfied
with the user -pay system for
getting rid of such animals.
She added the town had
fielded calls about a dead bat

A crane and equipment to

about 11:30 a.m Tuesday
morning and Main Street was
expected to he cleared at
noon with the rest of the cars
back on track by the end of
the day.
Shropshall was not aware
of any damage to the cars and
said the company expected to
be able to reconnect the cars
and haul them to Goderich.
The train was on its way
from Stratford to Goderich
when the accident happened
at about 11:25 p.m. Monday

Jackson is option C. Locally
it involves a two sub -options
including converting Seaforth
District High School into an
elementary school while
closing Seaforth Public
School and Walton Public
School. The other sub -option
involves converting the high
school to include Grade 7 and
Grade 8, closing Walton and
converting Seaforth Public
School to include junior
kindergarten through Grade
• 6.
In order to receive full
funding the board has to find
a way to close down more
than 300,000 square feet of
•
excess space.
The first option, option A,
is considered minimalistic
and will he the least injurous
to the hoard.
"This approach meets the
square footage targets. but
may not meet the goal of
equitable distribution of
programs,"' Baird -Jackson
said.
This option "involves
closing VCS and CHSS.
Baird -Jackson said' option
B maintains the secondary
school buildings. although
not necessarily for secondary
use.
This option involves

added Mayor Scott.
The only restructuring
scenario so far proposed that
includes Seaforth with
Tuckersmith and McKillop
came from Colborne, and the
mayor said it doesn't appear
to have a lot of support.
"When you start drawing
geographical lines for the
sake of drawing lines that's
when you get into trouble,
and you can see this in the
world at large," deputy -reeve
Bill Tcall commented.
He said "as a minimum,"
Seaforth is tied to the two
adjacent townships by
geography, history and logic.
Huron County remains one
of the last regions to undergo
restructuring under direction
from the province.

Armstrong added that the'
communities need
recognition from the ministry
that rural Ontario is not
downtown Toronto.
School trustee Wendy
Anderson addressed 'the
crowd about her frustration.
"I cannot put into words
how frustrating this is for
me," Anderson said.
She added that it is time
"to let the powers that be in
Toronto know that this is not
an acceptable solution. We
have a lot of space now, so
we close schools, then we
may lose students who are
unhappy, and .then there will
be more excess space again."

The Public Works
department got rid of the
bees, she said, because
superintendent John Forrest
was worried kids would poke
them with a stick.
He doesn't think the skunk
situation is unusual in
Seaforth this year, and says
he gets them around his
home.
They are looking for a
place to settle down for the
winter at this time of year.
Forrest says.
