She loves Seaforth and
plans to retire here.
That's another reason for
making sure the community
stays strong.
Since she wishes to stay
here. she wants to be sure
there are schools and a•
hospital that help keep -the
community strong and viable.
She fears the loss of some
of the town's institutions
would threaten businesses and
create a situation where youth
are not able to move hack to
their communities after
leaving for further education.
