Feels situation was handled poorly
"Dear Editor:
I would like an opportunity to reply to.
the letter to the editor from the Clinton
Junior "D" Executive dated February 19.
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

appreciative audience makes a perfor-

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

the properties under consideration as a

If you require any further information
before the meeting, do not hesitate to con-
tact the writer."
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. )
