This letter concernsa meeting
whigt ,was held in Seafortb on
F 18, 1986 to discuss a.
sanitaty sitefor use by the
residents of Seaforth and>
Tudteremith Township.
I do not tunder.atand why a lawyer
imported from Stratford was chosen
t9 chair the meeting. In his opening
'temarks the Chairman stated that
like it or not a sanity landfill site'
will be established iif'l uckersmith
Township. He also went on to say that
the chair would only entertain ques-
tions concerning the criteria used by
the Solid Waste Disposal Committee
- to select possible sites, not the sites
themselves. Was this done to in-
timidate the audience, most of whom
were from Tuckersmith Township.
As a resident and taxpayer in
Tuckersmith Township I strongly ob-
ject that the' letter concerning the
public meeting was written on Town
of Seaforth stationery and signed by
the Clerk -Treasurer, a paid employee
of Seaforth. The letter to Tuckersmith
Township residents should have
originated from the Township office
• and Imp.. .411,4
The letter s ed: -
"Please end-eAoigsed cop), ot as

dicate that yoiiown property that

tion before the meeting, do not
hesitate to contact the writer.,'
Nothing in the letter from theClerk-
Treasurer indicated that restrictions
would be placed on the -meeting by the
Chairman, especially in matters deal-
ing with alternate methods of disposal
and individual sites.'
For future meetings concerning
sanitary landfill sites may I suggest
that the meeting by chaired by the
elected individuals responsible to the
taxpayers, i.e. Mayor of Seaforth and
Deputy Reeve of Tuckersmith. (The
Dear Sir:
-There are a number of factual er-
rors and misconceptions in the col-
umn you devoted to the subject of lot-
teries iA December. While I know
some time has passed since then, I
'thought in the interests of accuracy,
. you might be interested in the Ontario
Lottery Corporation's comments.
The reason there is a regulation
permitting the Corporation to publish
the names, _ ,.addresses and
phetograkhs of winners is to ensure
all Ontario players know there are
winners of lottery -prizes. It is an
essential ingredient to the integrity of
our lottery systepi.
You might also be interested to
know that the Winners' Handbook
was prepared in response to requests
from Lottery winners. Since the On-
tario Lottery Corporation is simply a
marketing agency responsible for

eperating ' . we writ Unite six=
perts In . . ; legal and real

A section an how .to deal with the
news media was !winded, because it
is an area that many winners live
never been involY d in before. There
is also a mbioapoe tioi>`ahnon4 many
Ontarians that itis a difficult and
painful experience. • t
As you will see from the Winners'
Handbook our research shows the
vast majority of winners any they
have been treated (tarty by the news
media. Our new winners -ten us they
find this fact reassurh .
You also imply lottery pwthases
create a financial burden in
households with lower incomes. It
might interest you to knowthe
average expenditure on lotteries is
$8.50a month with 83.5 percent of On-
tario adults having bought a ticket at
some time. From these statistics
complied from a province wide study
18 months ago, it will be clear lottery
participants come from .all socio-
economic groups. In actual fact, the
lower and higher income groups par-
ticipate slightly less than middle-
income earners. • '
Most Ontarians view lotteries as a
low-cost form of entertainment, spen-
ding little time or money on them.
We would also dispute your com-
ments that lotteries have had an im-
pact on the success of local fundrais-
ing prbjecta. Many fundraisers, in
fact, earn commission on the sale of
our- lottery tickets. In addition, the
Ministry of Consumer and Commer-
cial Relations reports the overall -
number of charitable raffles con-
tinues to grow.
As well, you will be interested to
know over $15 million in lottery pro-
ceeds are directed to province -wide
charities through the Trillium Foun-
dation every year.
I, have enclosed some material
dealing with who plays lotteries in On-
tario which may be of interest. If I can
be of any further help, please let me
know.

The Editor
Congratulations to the Hensall
Public School Staff who provided a
successful Inuit Culture Day for the
students.
The various activities throughout
the school were not only "fun" but
were also arranged to place impor-
tance on specific learning skills such
as visual and auditory comprehen-
sion, verbal and written language,
methematical concepts and
geographical and historical
knowledge.
In today's fast moving world,
students can no longer be limited
to listening, memorizing and spewing
back information dictated from the
front of a classroom during rigid
time slots. Pity any poor student - or
adult - who interrupted this robotic
form of education. The unique, dif-
ferent or creative student quickly fell
to the way -side, definitely considered
unteachable or unruly.
There has to be time for serious lear-
ning of basic skills that require ab-
sorbtion and memorization. But then
how much better to build and rein-
force such facts than by interesting,
stimulating, and - yes - fun activities.
What an opportunity for students and
teachers to communicate and co-
operate.
Students moving around from ac-
tivity to activity were expressing,

it seems as though winter will
never end. Will March come in like a
lion? Residents are getting restless to
get out for fresh air and a stroll.
The movies "Bear Country" and
"r aurel and Hardy" were shown on
Monday evening followed by
refreshments.
The Tuesday evening program had
to be cancelled due to the dense fog
we experienced last week.
The sympathy of residents and staff
is extended to the family of the late
Joseph Corriveau.
We regret that Mrs.11ilda Shaptoh
and Mrs., Genevieve Ducharme are
both hospitalized in London hospitals.
Residents have been participating
in the usual activities of cards,
crokinole, shuffleboard, crafts, etc.
Bingo was played on Friday evening
followed by refreshments.
The Sunday evening chapel service
was conducted by the Zurich Men-
nonite Church young people.
