According to Laviolette, Doors Open is an initiative designed to help "celebrate heritage and culture." "Doors Open is a particular invitation to invite people to see things they wouldn't normally see," said Laviolette, who hopes to have the event during the 2005 August long weekend as part of the Come Home to the Country Festival. There are several sites in Seaforth that Laviolette is considering to be part of the tour such as town hall and its third floor, the post office, the CIBC hank, the Seaforth Lawn Bowling Club, Seaforth Legion and the Seaforth museum.

In the application, Laviolette said, they must give a sampling of at least 12 sites that would be included as part of the program. "That leaves us from now until we actually do it to develop more sites," said Laviolette. The Doors Open began in Ontario in 2002. This past summer, Doors Open attracted close to 300,000 people to events across Ontario. "There have been places that have been overwhelmed with over 100,000 visitors for a particular day," said Laviolette. In Brussels, Laviolette has said there's a potential of 24 sites that could be a part of Doors Open. "I believe that the interior of Huron County is just totally rife with sites for which residents take for granted, but visitors would just gobble up in interest," said Laviolette. In Seaforth and Brussels, Laviolette said he hopes to involve enough groups in town so people don't have to drive too far. "What I'm hoping for is that we have enough sites within driving distance that we don't have to send people afar on the premise that they Jason Middleton photo Seaforth's town hall is one of the historic buildings laviolette hopes to feature during a Doors Open event this summer. might not come back," he Walton motocross. said.

While the new hours - opening from 1 - 5 p.m. on every Sunday except those of holiday weekends until May - have been in effect since September, Seaforth librarian Rebecca Dechert-Sage says Sunday's popularity slowly is increasing. "We're getting the reaction of surprise and excitement from people that we're open on Sundays since they're a lot more convenient for people," says Dechert-Sage. "I even got the reaction of 'Your hours rock!' from one caller recently," she says. County Librarian Beth Ross says Huron County decided to open libraries in the county's urban centres of Clinton, Exeter, Goderich, Seaforth and Wingham after completing a strategic plan a few years ago looking at how to be more responsive to local needs. "We couldn't manage to get the increased hours into the budget in 2003 but we did in 2004," she says. Ross says Sundays are popular days with families, who often only have Sunday to enjoy together each week. As well, students working on projects are very happy with the Sunday opening. However, the county libraries will not be open on Sunday during the summer or on holiday weekends because those times are traditionally not well used by the public. "It makes sense since people are busy doing other things at those times and it helps our money go a little further to stay closed on those days," says Ross. The new software that will be installed from Nov. 18 to 25 - during which time county libraries will be closed - will provide integrated purchasing, cataloguing, collection exchange and circulation functions for the local library system. For library users, the iBistro catalogue will serve online information seekers from home, work, school or their public library through the internet. Along with being able to renew books, place holds on books and check personal accounts, patrons will be able to register favourite authors so the catalogue can inform readers of new books by that author. The library's website at www.huroncounty.ca already provides access to electronic subscription databases of full -text articles from over 1,800 newspapers and magazines. Both these databases and the new catalogue require a library card login, which is free to county residents from their library. • Patrons are being encouraged to stock up on books and CDs for the week the library will be closed for its computer upgrade. "Books borrowed now will not be due until December," says Ross. Huron East man charged with assault Huron OPP A 24 -year-old Huron East man was charged with two counts of assault on Oct. 25 after Huron OPP responded to a domestic call at Heritage Estates Trailer Park on Hensall Road. An 18 -year-old pregnant woman told police she had been shoved to the floor and had her hair pulled when she attempted to leave a relationship with the man who did not want her to leave. She also said she had been assaulted by him during the past few months. The man fled the home and ran to a near by. bush area. After a search, officers found the man and charged him.
