Locals worry another blue box might be confiscated for improper use

Protecting the environ-
ment through the positive
slogan -reduce, reuse, recycle
has recently been put on
hold for several residents
and local store merchants in
Seaforth.
Playing messenger, Sea -
forth Coun. Nathan Marshall
had a discussion with the
Huron East council at a June
6 meeting concerning the
numerous complaints
received from concerned
ratepayers -specifically
storeowners and how they

blue box may be removed.
Garbage is illegitimately
being piled up in recycling
bins and the Bluewater
Recycling Association has
decided to remove the blue
bin at 23 Main Street South;
the location of the municipal
parking lot.
Marshall is not pointing a
finger at the local storefronts
for these unfortunate
episodes.

storeowners, but I'm very
confident that the

A motorcycle ride for

the "Wounded Warriors" A (94 `� s

The blistering sound of
roaring engines could be
heard throughout Seaforth
as roughly 70 motorcy-
clists congregated in a fund-
raising effort for the
"Wounded Warriors."
This is a large upsurge in
numbers as there were only
20-30 riders in the event's
inaugural year.
In the last decade, the ride
titled the "Tour of Duty" has
raised thousand of dollars,
which goes directly towards
the Wounded Warriors fund.
In 2006 the fund was
launched; it supports the
Canadian Forces members
that were wounded during
operations and aims to
"improve the general morale
and welfare of the soldiers
and their families by
working through first-line
caregivers, medical staff,
chaplains and assisting offic-
ers," according to the
website.
Frequently coordinated
with the A.B.A.T.E. (Asso-

riders were given the
opportunity to participate
in a 200 km + bike ride
trek aimed at visiting the
majority of the Legions in
the surrounding region
including the Royal Cana-
dian Legions in Seaforth,
Lucknow, Goderich, and
Hensall.
This year, compared to
other years, president of
A.B.A.T.E Jerry Faber
decided to change things up

highways.
"The group has been very
large lately, we wanted to try
something different," he said
June 14 adding that this ride
has the capability of disrupt-
ing traffic when they travel
as one unit.
The new practice provides
riders with a map and lets
them choose their path at
their leisure.
Upon arrival at each des-
ignated legion, riders were
asked to fill out a military
trivia questionnaire to bet-
ter understand each estab-
lishment and the reason
behind the fundraising
event.
"It (made) people go
around and look at the dis-
play cases and plaques,
instead of just looking
around, it drove them to
read them and explain what
this concept is all about."

Bluewater Recycling told
the Expositor June 14 that
they usually give a "three
strike" warning before
removing the blue bin.
Bonnie Stewardson,
administration assistant at
Bluewater Recycling said if
the concerned locals are
aware of who is responsi-
ble for the recycle bin
dilemma that they should
"approach them and let
them know that if this con-
