Huron Expositor, 2006-08-30, Page 5Opinion. The Huron Expositor • August 30, 2006.Page 5 Egmondville resith!i1' including village in To the Editor, I want to thank and commend our Huron East Council for their decision in the planning of the lagoon/sewage expansion. Your decision to size the plant now to include Egmondville in the future shows us, the resi- dents of Egmondville, that a) the team of Huron East Council has excellent planning skills for appy Huron East lagoon planning the future and b) you do care about our little town of Egmondville. It may be years before Egmondville ever hooks up to the sewage plant, but at least now you have planned for it. With the province warning municipalities that all systems will be user -pay by 2011, we appreciate that you are doing this now while the province is providing grants/funding for sewer and water. Thanks again, Ray Chartrand ratepayer of Huron East Current fair ambassador looking forward to one of Seaforth's most exciting fall events To the Editor, One of the most exciting events in Seaforth is approaching quickly. It is a time when the whole community and surrounding area comes together in a time of fun and fellowship. I am talking about the Seaforth Fall Fair. I just wanted to write in to the Huron Expositor to tell everyone why I am personally excited for Sept. 7-10. Like everyone else in this quaint town, I look forward to seeing the parade each year with all of the school- children dressed in their class themes, followed by a day full of rides, games and searching the round house to see h_ ow all of the hard work has finished. You cannot forget to mention the amazing food. and candy that comes along with this exhilarating weekend. Of course, I always looked forward to showing my Jersey calf in the 4-H show. One of the biggest highlights for me is the Ambassador program. Young men arid women have the opportunity to stand on stage and share their views. It is the chance for them to be an ambassador not only for our Agricultural Society, but be ambassadors for agriculture; which is a topic that is close to everyone's heart. It makes me feel confident that the future of Canada and Canadian agriculture will be secure in the hands of these future leaders. New this year is the Junior Ambassador pro- gram, held on Saturday, where younger individ- uals get their chance to shine. On Saturday there is going to be an Ambassador pie -eating competition, where the Senior Ambassador con- testants get the chance to show the public what they are really made of Of course, you cannot forget the dance on Saturday night! Certainly a social highlight. Sunday afternoon sees a new attraction this year, the lawn mower pull guarantees to have the crowd cheering for their favourite tractor. I know I can't wait to see it. I have enjoyed my year as Seaforth Ambassador and with a happy, but sad feeling I am looking forward to passing on my crown to a new individual who will be as honoured as I was to represent the Seaforth Agricultural Society and my home town. I hope to see every- one between Sept. 7-10. All the best, Kora Bennett Seaforth Fair Ambassador 2005/2006 Have an opinion?
