This letter is regarding the decision of non- payment for mileage to a player. I respect this decision and have to quarrel with this. However, my disagreement lies with the way in which this matter was handled. Sean approached the executive in early December requesting mileage. Their deci- sion reached him approximately two mon- ths later in February and approximately 10 days past the deadline of transfer to another team. This denied him any oppor- tunity to play for the town of his residence and thereby eliminated the problem over mileage. If it hadn't been for the feeling of obliga- LQttars tion to his fellow teammates, and the respect and generous support from his coach and manager, Sean would not be playing hockey for Clinton. Is this perhaps one of the many reasons that Clinton has so many difficulties entic- ing players from neighboring towns and villages to play hockey for Clinton? Yours respectfully Anthony Van Dongen Community supports school events support. Music is a performing art and an appreciative audience makes a perfor- mance much more meaningful. Your atten- dance and enthusiasm helped to ensure our success. Dear Editor I would like to express my appreciation for your support during our Winter Music Festival held last Friday at CHSS. Such cultural events can only succeed with the support of the local community. The en- couragement of the media is crucial in ob- taining that support. I applaud your efforts. I would also like to take this opportunity to publicly express my thanks to Sherlock - Manning Pianos. They provided us with two new pianos for use in our workshops. This kind of corporate citizenship is rare in our society, and it should be cherished. We greatly appreciate their contribution. Finally, I would like to thank the citizens of Clinton and the surrounding area for their Once again thank you for your support. Yours truly R. Parr.

Nothing in the letter from the clerk - treasurer indicated that restrictions' would be placed on the meeting by the chairman, especially in matters dealing with alternate methods of disposal and individual sites. For future meetings concerning sanitary landfill sites may I suggest that the meeting be chaired by the elected individuals responsible to the taxpayers i.e. Mayor of Seaforth and Deputy Reeve of Tuckersmith. (The Reeve of Tuckersmith has a conflict of interest in this matter and should not be a joint chairman. ) Yours truly, Donald A. Reynolds.
