While she agreed the shoes look fun to wear, Shore said safety comes first. "It's -not that we're against them. We're not saying that they can't wear them. All we want is for them to wear the plugs," Smith added. As well, both Seaforth Public School and St. James School have decided to disallow kids from wearing Heelys. "The reason is safety, absolutely," said Judy Renner, secretary at St. James School. "[Banning them] hasn't been a problem. No parents have called. The kids haven't com- plained. I think they understand the rule - walk in the halls," she said. Renner said winter weather adds to the concern. "The floor gets wet during this time of year," she added. "We're eliminating the pos- sibility of an accident." Both elementary schools made an official announcement after Christmas holidays, as there was an increase of kids wearing them. "Number one, we think they are danger- ous," said Kim Black, principal of Seaforth Public. Like Shore, Black can see why. Heelys are amusing but still stands behind the decision to ban them. "They look fun, we'll admit to that, but they aren't fit for an educational institution." Central Huron secondary school (CHSS) has not had a significant problem with kids wearing them. "It is a safety issue," said principal Herb Klassen, although "it has not been an issue here. We have three stories (in the CHSS building). (Heelys) are very dangerous on steps, but "it just hasn't been an issue here." Chelsea Catling of CHSS doesn't see the problem with the shoes, however. "[Schools] shouldn't ban them. Just because some kids can't get the way of riding them doesn't mean the rest of the people shouldn't get to ride them either." Heelys are a trend just like any other, hove- ever, and Catling thinks that the new phe- nomenon will eventually become old news. "They are really just a fashion trend," she said. "They will probably get really crazy in the next year and then eventually die down." Stratford and London are the closest places to buy Heelys, and they're being sold very quickly. "We used to sell them, and then we stopped. We've had people asking about them, and I'm not joking, three times a day," commented a Sport Chek employee in Stratford. Lack of smoke detectors at town hall questioned at on East meeting any building. Jeff H e u c h e r t A recent incident at Seaforth's town hall has one councillor asking why the building does not have any smoke detectors. Tuckersmith Coun. Larry McGrath said during council's regular meeting Jan. 24 that it's common sense to have smoke detectors in He specifically referred to the museum in town hall's upper floor. "It seems a little foolish doesn't it? We have an antique thing up here, and if it (the build- ing) goes, it'll (the museum's collection) be gone," said McGrath. The Seaforth Fire Department was called to town hall when smoke was seen coming from the garage at the back of the building, but no alarm was sounded. The smoke was coming from a burned out motor on a heater. Huron East Administrator Jack McLachlan said he would look into the price to install smoke detec- tors.
