(Wassink photo) Police cruiser damaged The 1983 Seaforth police department "was well under budget'', councillor Henry Mero informed Seaforth council at their regular meeting on Mar. 14. As it now stands, the budget for the protection to persons and property commit- tee could see a five per cent increase "but we're hoping for the same in 1984 as in 83," said Mr. Mero. The new county wide police communica- tions system is working well," said councillor Wayne Ellis. ' A number of municipalities have come to look at the system. Ours was a model for Ontario." Council approved repairing the new police cruiser which was involved in a minor collision. The left rear side plastic portion housing the side marker light was damaged. Cost of repairs is 594.91 and will be made by David Schenck Auto Body. Police chief Hal Claus and councillor Mero attended the Zone 6 Chiefs Conference in Sarnia recently. Mr. Mero said he found the conference interesting with discussiqns including wage settlements and police academy education. FINAL REPORT The finance and general government committee reported that the final report of the Operation and Development Procedures, and Hydrogeologic investigations for the existing Seaforth landfill site have been received. The report will be forwarded to the Ministry of Environment for approval. REIMBURSE MEMBERS The Seaforth recreation committee recom- mended to council that recreation committee members be reimbursed for expenses incurred in carrying out approved committee business or when attending conferences. "Members at present dont get paid when they attend conferences and they should be. There are only one or two conferences a year," said councillor Hazel Hildebrand. "I have no objection, but they should put their expenses in their budget so it doesn't get out of hand. There should be a ceiling placed on the limit," said councillor Bill Martin. "it's what we do to ourselves. We put it in the budget and a ceiling is placed on rt. Council agreed that expenses should be included in the budget. But councillor Paul Ross said he was concerned that although council knew expenses should be budget "what is the vehicle of transportation, The change could be lost in the shuffle, it should be more formal because it could easily be forgotten." 1 made a note to tell Bryan Peter (recreation director). So the onus is on me," said deputy -clerk, Luanne Phair. "it's been dealt with now and we'll have to catch it in the budget. But it was a good point. Maybe we moved on it too quickly,'- said mayor Aff Ross. Passing the recommendation was in order, but we made a recommendation to the recreation committee and it should • have been done formally," said councillor Ross. REVIEW MINOR VARIANCE The planning advisory committee have reviewed a draft application by Raymond and Vera Murray far a minor variance.' Mr. and Mrs. Murray plan to build a house on the Market and MO Street corner property. The committee iiiggested that the only minor variance required with given building dimensions would be in connection with the rear yard attd that a 25 foot front yard should be on Hlgh Street due to high traffic flow Berm Box Punetal Home. A 25 foot front yard on Market Street is also required. and since the present building covers 27 per cent of the lot area, the building site can only be marginally increased. At the' Mar, 19 meeting of the Seaforth committee of adjustment, the committee approved a minimum easterly front yard of 20feet and a Antonin norJheriy rear yard of -18 feet. The pubhc have until Monday, Apr. 9 to appeal the minor variance decision, said deputy -clerk Luanne Phair.

The ocelsion was the sixth annual Seaforth Old Tyme Fiddlers Jamboree. Many old time music enthusiasts relate fiddle playing to barn dances which were popular years ago. The barn dances have gone, but the foot stomping, fiddle playing continues. i think it's great just for the sake of old time music," says Walter Rehberg of Rostock. "I became interested in the fiddle because of fiddle parties such as in Seaforth. I've been playing nine years and am still trying to catch on." Like the other 50 fiddlers at the Jamboree, Mr. Rehberg bas been coming to Seaferth for as long as the jamboree has been here. T think it's getting better every year," But Mark Stackhouse of Londesboro has only be coming to Seaforth for four years. But then be's.only 14 -years -old. "Playing the fiddle is fun," he said. YOUNGEST WAS FIVE About 12 of the fiddlers were in Mark's age group. Some Seaforth students who are learning to play violin by the Suzuki method were even at the Jamboree. The youngest fiddler was five years old and the oldest fiddler was 85. "The young people who take classical violin lessens are being trained in old time fiddle Music so they can enter fiddle . cbimpetitfoit;" said Gladys Van Egmond of Clinton.
