To the Editor:
I'm surprised that this: newspaper would pub-
lish such trash as the recent article written by
Daniel Malek.
Ralph Smith is a good friend of mine and has
been a respected member of our community his
whole life. Admittedly, his problem is a minor
one, of which he freely admits.
In contrast, Mr. Malek doesn't even have a
valid problem. His words show this clearly, and
I quote, "The Girl's band could have used that
space (instead of Ralph) I do not support the
Seaforth girls."
Is this guy blowing hot air or what? His view
is that bylaws are the real issue. I'd understand
if Daniel had expressed an actual problem
about snow removal, and then we'd have some-
thing to talk about, but it sounds like he just
wants a law made about it.
And what the hell is wrong with dogs? This is
a rural community and we like dogs - deal with
it.
It is my opinion that Daniel should take
another year to observe Seaforth culture before
he decides to open his mouth again.

Team 2 U15 girls have excellent season, says reader
To the Editor,
This letter is in regards to the article about
the St. Columban soccer season ending, written
in the Aug. 2 edition of the Huron Expositor.
I would like to first take the opportunity to
congratulate all teams in the St. Columban soc-
cer league for another excellent season. A BIG
thank you to all the coaches for your dedication
and leadership during the season, without you
there would be no teams.
After' reading the article in the paper I was a
little shocked. The Team 2 of the U15 girls had
an excellent season and not only because of a
select few players. It was because they ALL
worked hard together.
In regular season they lost one game out of
nine. In soccer there are 11 positions on the
field and it takes all 11 players to play the
game. Sometimes they played short handed but
they all still knew their positions and played
very well together without anyone outshining
anyone else. With 14 "STAR".players it was a
joy to come out and cheer you girls on whether
you won or lost, the main thing is I hope you all
had fun! Be proud of what you accomplished
this season you are all STARS!! Thanks Martin
you did a great job top!!
