News Former mayor reminds dog owners of poop and scoop bylaw By Jason Middleton Expositor Staff A former Seaforth mayor is a little concerned this spring that his front yard might be going to to dogs. • "If I wanted my lawn fertilized, I'd go and buy fertilizer," Sinnamon said. "If I wanted a dog to use it for a washroom, I'd buy a dog," said John Sinnamon. The Main Street North residident said that after he stepped on dog poop twice while raking his front lawn this spring, he decided to do something about the problem. "I was fed up with that," Sinnamon said. "If you're going to own a dog you have to look after it." Almost two months ago, Sinnamon phoned the municipal office and asked if there was a sign he could post on his front yard informing dog owners about the poop and scoop bylaw. Ever since moving to his house on Main Street North three years ago, Sinnamon said that he has noticed a lot of people just letting their dogs use his front lawn as a washroom for their dog. "I don't mind a dog going, as long as they (the owners) clean it up," he said. Last summer, Sinnamon said a teenage boy driving a lawn tractor and holding a leash as a dog trailed behind, passed his property. The dog stopped and "let it go" on Sinnamon's lawns and the boy continued driving down the sidewalk. When Sinnamon asked if the boy was going to clean up after the dog, the boy said it wasn't his dog and drove off. "I just think people have to be responsible if they have a dog and they are out walking it in public," Sinnamon said. In his old house, located two doors down on a side street, Sinnamon said that he never had to deal with dog feces on his lawn. Huron East Clerk -Administrator Jack McLachlan explained in a phone 111111 111111 interview that the poop and is hard to enforce. "If somebody could come in and could identify the person (involved), we probably would lay a charge," McLachlan said. The bylaw requires dog owners to remove excrement left by their dog anywhere in Huron East. According to the bylaw, failure to do so could result in a charge under the Provincial Offences Acts and a $50 administration John Sinnamon scoop bylaw fee. McLachlan said that signs are available to people concerned about dog waste being left in their yards. Since Sinnamon posted the sign on his front lawn six weeks ago, he said that he hasn't had to deal with any dog poop on his property. "On my property it's stopped," Sinnamon said. "I've noticed a lot of people walking their dogs and carrying a bag with them." Council receives funding requests By Susan Hundertmark Expositor Editor As Huron East council mused over how to spend an extra $881,000 in provincial funding, a line-up of unbudgeted requests for funding appeared at last Tuesday's meeting. Funding requests from the Hensall Cemetery Board to replace old monuments and from the Ethel minor ball association for. new playground equipment were met with caution by councillors. "We have not made any -provisions for this in our budget," said Grey Coun. Mark Beaven in response to a request for $2,000 from the Hensall Cemetery Board.

"We feel we have to do something or we'll be liable if anyone gets hurt You can take and rock them (the monuments) quite easily," he said. Bell said Huron East, South Huron and Bluewater will all be asked to fund the $6,000 project. McKillop Coun. Sharon McClure worried about similar requests coming from the other 11 cemeteries in Huron East and whether council needed to set a limit about how much it would fund each one. • But, Tuckersmith Bill DeJong chided council for being "chinzy" with kg money. "I think we're being very cheap when it comes to people who have lived in our community and passed away." Council decided to fund up to $2,000 for the Hensall cemetery. A delegation from Grey asking for help with a 515.000 playground structure was asked to apply for Trillium funding or to approach local service clubs before being loaned the full amount interest-free with a three-year payback period. Seaforth Coun. Joe Steffler urged the organizers to apply for Trillium funding saying "there money bigtime for children's equipment. I'd he surprised if you didn't get at least $5,000." Deputy -Mayor Bernie MacLellan said he'd be in favour of lending the money but Grey Coun. Alvin McLellan said that council should contribute towards the project since the ball park is located on municipal property. "We should he making some sort of commitment as far as council goes," he said. Organizer Brenda Boyer said the group didn't want to wait another year for Trillium approval since the playground equipment was planned to he erected to celebrate the park's 150th anniversary.
