The Huron Expositor, 1988-08-17, Page 17Seaforth Manor residents seek cool places
Residents of Seaforth Manor spent part of
last week out on the lawn in the shade of the
trees. With temperatures hovering in the 30s
and the high humidity it was hard to find a
cool place to be.
Tuesday afternoon a film was shown in
the activity room and Wednesday morning
was hairdressing with Bill Gibson filling in
for Joan who is on holidays. Bill also favored
on the piano with musical selections which
everyone present appreciated.
In the afternoon some residents worked at
crafts while others cut foam. Friday morn-
ing was bingo while in the afternoon Father
C. Caruana was in charge of mass for all
Catholic residents.
Sunday morning some residents attended
the church of their choice while others work-
ed on crafts or folded laundry. In the after-
noon euchre was played in the activity
room.

ENGAGEMENT
On Sunday evening the residents were on
the bus once again. This time they went to
Harbour Park in Goderich for the band con-
cert. The Strathroy pipe.band was featured.
Many residents said they had to suppress
the urge to do the highland fling. It was a
lovely outing for such a hot day as there
were plenty of shade trees and a beautiful
cooling breeze off the lake. On the way
home, the bus made a stop for ice cream
cones. A tasty treat to finish the day.
We wish to express sincere sympathy to
the family of Austin Matteson on his death.
As an avid bridge player, he will be greatly
missed by the bridge group.

have told him they dislike the change
from assessment -based representation
to representation by population, feeling
those who pay the largest share of pro-
perty tax should have greater
representation.
Previously, Goderich had a single
trustee and the other towns were all
represented in conjunction with at least
one municipality.
While the law states that anyone
residing in the county can neck election
to represent any ward, historically, can-
didates have represented the ward they
live in, says Bob Allan, secretary of the
Huron board. •
If tradition dictates where the county
finds it's candidates, Bill 125 is likely to
mean changes on the board.
"It would seem to be a reasonably safe
assumption that we'll have at least four
new faces," Allan said.
Two new trustees result from the board
voting earlier this month to increase its
membership from 14 to 16, as allowed
under the new legislation. The other two
would result from the redistribution.
Jewitt said he expects new trustees to
represent Clinton, Howick Township and
Exeter, as well as the trustee added to
represent the Town of Goderich.
To date, only one trustee has announc-
ed election plans. John Elliot, of Blyth,
does not plan to seek reelection.
The Huron board formerly had 16
members, which meant five could sit on
the three standing committees; person-
nel, education and management. The
number of trustees was reduced to 14 two
years ago when the province began fully
funding separate schools.
Elected by Huron -Perth separate
school supporters to represent secondary
school interests on the county board, the
two representatives were removed to the
separate board.
The board found a 16 -member board
works more efficiently than 14, Jewitt
said. "You have to remember, this cur-
rent board was elected as a 16 -member
board." He added that the workload for
the chairman and vice-chairman, who
now sit on each committee, has been ex-
cessive since losing the two trustees.
He also said the two had provided
"valuable input" on both secondary and
elementery school matters. "We really
lost a lot when we lost those two
turstees."
Under Bill 125, the clerks of the three
largest municipalities in the county were
to collectively determine trustee
distribution by Aug. 15.
Goderich clerk -treasurer Larry Mc-
Cabe said the board, any municipality, or
the public have until Aug. 25 to appeal,
but that it's unlikely since the board and
the committee of clerks had earlier
agreed on the distribution pattern.
I really think that the clerks did the
fairest job possible," said Allan. "I
would be very surprised if there were an
appeal."
Also under Bill 125, combined
municipalities must abut, which made
fair redistribution "practically impossi-
ble," said Jewitt.
He said following the change, some
trustees will still represent a larger •
population, but dividing the area fairly
without splitting municipalities and still
keeping trustee areas abutting is dificult.
"There's still some unfairness, and
there always will be...It will work. It's
got to work."
