Fry says that while he's always had a challenge convincing people to buy the higher quality meat he's sold over the past 15 years, he's even hav- ing trouble getting business on the catering side of Tucker's. "The catering's really slowing down - people don't have the money to throw away," he says. • Huron East economic development officer Jan Hawley said that while she's heard rumours, she didn't know the two Seaforth businesses were closing. . "I'm saddened. to hear about Nifty Korners and Tucker's - they were unique, they had great products and they added a lot of character to the downtown," says Hawley. However, Hawley says that while she's heard that some shops are hav- ing difficulties, other stores "did very well over Christmas." "It is unrealistic to thinle•Huron East would get away unscathed in the recession," she says, adding that Seaforth is doing fairly well in com- parison with downtowns like Goder- ich. "But, I'm not going to get discour- aged because I'm still getting enqui- ries about new businesses wanting to come to town," she says. "Huron East is very serious about economic development. Very few mu- nicipalities in Huron County have a fulltime economic development offi- cer who can respond quickly to en- quiries. It's a sign of confidence that we're open for business," she says. Hawley says she is currently receiving about Huron East donates 1980 pumper Huron East council is hop- ing a donation of the Seaforth Fire Department's 1980 Ford Pumper to the Emergency Services Training Centre in Blyth will result in comp er^'i- z it towards training. "If any of our fire depart- ments want to use the train- ing centre is there is a cost? Can we get a written letter of credit towards whenever we're going to use the centre? If nothing else, the truck was certainly worth something as scrap metal. It was worth something to the municipal- ity," said Deputy -Mayor Ber- nie MacLellan. A recommendation to donate 4h3 Gld truck to the ESTC in Blyth was made from Sea- forth's District Chief Tom Philips at council's Feb. 17 meeting. McKillop Coun. Bill Siemon asked if the truck could be sold to a northern Ontario munici- pality, as the Blyth Fire De- partment did in the past when Siemon was a member. Clerk -Administrator Jack McLachlan said the truck is likely only worth $1,000 to $1,500 since it is run on gas not diesel. "If it was a diesel, it'd be worth $18,000," added McKil- lop Coun. Andrew Flowers. Mayor Joe Seili added that before the training centre was located in Blyth, the munici- pality paid mileage to send firefighters to Gravenhurst for training. one call a week from businesses in- terested in locating in Huron East. "A number of things are out there percolating. For Huron East, I'm feeling pretty darned good about things," she says, adding that she's not at liberty to discuss what new businesses could be coming to town.
