Tomark Trucking services Huron County farmers
Tomark Trucking, a successful new
business in Seaforth, provides Huron County
farmers with trucking service and a local
man with a better way of life.
Owned and operated by Mark Smith of
Egmondville and Tom Voerman of Exeter,
Tomark is looking at expansion after only
six months in operation. Mr. Smith says
over the last six weeks the company could
have used another truck or two, and if the
work continues to be this steady, he and Mr.
Voerman will consider expansion by spring.
But this third addition to Tomark trucking
won't have to face the same risks Mr. Smith
and Mr. Voerman faced when they left their
jobs to start out on their own six months ago.
The company now has its clientelle and con-
tacts set up.
"Before we just stepped off the diving
board," says 1. Smith.
The two truckers had worked for Laidlaw
Transport -Mr. Smith for 16 years and Mr.
Voerman for 26 years. Mr. Smith says the
company was getting too huge and imper-
sonal, and he says he didn't like leaving
home on Sunday nights and getting back on
Saturday night. He and his partner both own
their own truck and trailer, and after a few
years of toying with the idea of working for
themselves they decided to take the plunge.
They knew a lot of customers from their
years of trucking, and it was just a matter of
swinging thern over.
But Mr. Smith says he was nervous about
the idea when they first started out.
"You don't know whether you're doing the
right thing or whether you're going to make
it," he says. "Before I was paid twice a
month regardless."
But nervousness didn't hold the business
back and the two proprietors for the first
time went looking for customers, and they
found them. Their first job in March was
hauling corn which the Egmondville United
Church was sending to famine -stricken
Africa.
They had lots of work and a good summer
for their first summer in operation, and are
looking for commodities to move during the
winter to provide steady winter work.
Both truckers say their lot is much im-
proved since they became self employed.
They specialize in hauling farm products
and work mainly in the Huron County area,
so they are home every night as a rule. To
make their new pastures even greener, their
take has almost doubled over what they
were making when working for someone
TOMARK TRUCKING is a new business which has proven to be the greener pastures
for an Egmondville man and his partner in Exeter. Mark Smith, shown in the photo with
his truck, and Tom Voerman left their old jobs with a large trucking firm six months ago
to start the business, and since have been heard to frequently ask "why didn't we do
this years ago." Corbett photo.
else. And, perhaps more importantly, Mr.
Smith says they like their work more now.
"You're more relaxed and enjoy it more.
You're doing it for yourself, and a percen-
tage isn't going to office staff. We've said
quite a few times 'why didn't we do it years
ago?' "
Tomark has two trucks, a flatbed, a van
and two trailers, and can haul virtually
anything on Huron County farms.
Mr. Smith says what Tomark offers is a
more personal service. Customers who call
don't have to deal with a network, and nine
times out of 10 their loads will be hauled by
the same person they talk to on the phone.
Mr. Smith believes a lot of customers in
Huron County appreciate that.
"You try to please the customer," he
says. "All you have is that your service is
better than the next guy's."
Youths regret thoughtless
On Monday, August 15 the Seaforth
Police were dlspatched to Munn's Bush at
the north end of West Street in Seaforth, to
Investigate a fire. From information ob-
tained at the scene it was learned that a
group of boys, obviously bored, with time
on their hands, had taken a bundle of
Focus newsmagazines, and lit them in the
bush. The problem was that some of the
stumps lying in the woods had caught fire
and the Fire Department had to be called.
Fortunately the fire was extinguished
before it had a chance to spread.
The boys responsible for the incident
were located add at approximately 7:30
p.m. that night were gathered, with their
parents and the pollee, at the home of one
of the boys. There the police officers ex-
plained the consequences of their actions -
the potential defrauding of the public, and
the potential dangers in setting fires. The
boys regretted their actions.
The parents, too, tudicated genuine con-
cern for their boys' actions and it was with
great satisfaction the Police witnessed
total cooperation in setting an example of
a punishment to suit the crime.
It was agreed by all concerned that each
of the four boys would write a letter on the
following topic: "the trouble one can get
into during the holidays". It was farther
agreed the best letter would appear in The
Expositor. However, all of the letters are
good in their own right, so here they are:
— On Monday four boys decided we didn't
want to do our papers, so we took our
papers back to a bush and burnt them. We
thought we had the fire totally out. The
wind was strong that day and it got started
up again, but by that time we all were at
home thinking we all were homefree.
Reasons why we shouldn't have done it.
The wind was strong that day and could
have been worse and spread to a bigger
area and it could have hurt ciizens. The
reason we did this is because we wanted to
get out of work so we could play longer.
The people who could have got hurt - the
senior citizens if it spread, the people that
live around, the bush or in other areas, the
people who should have got the papers and
the people who wrote the paper. In spare
time kids should have fun and not fool.
around because it leads to trouble. What
you shouldn't do in spare time if you have
something to do is don't throw it out or
burn it. You shouldn't play around with
fire when it is dry out because it starts fast
and spreads far and it is hard to get out,
but you should not do it at all.
— I guess it is natural for young teens to get
into mischief, as a couple of friends and I
found out this past summer. Parents are
right when they say "watch your step
when hanging around in groups" because
if one can cause trouble, five or six can
cause a. lot more. I know that everyone
wants to impress their peers by doing
something "cool" (translation - something
stupid). Don't. If they were your real
friends they wouldn't pressure you into
those situations. Trust me, life will be
easier on you and your parents. - from so-
meone who learned their lesson.

actions
with the wrong people.
Sometimes your best frie^ is can get you
in tight situations. It's har pick frieds
and I can't help you because I've made
some bad decisions myself. For instance,
one day I was with friends and they didn't
want to do some work. It wasn't a very
tought job. It was that they were too lazy
and I didn't really want to help them. Sud-
denly out of nowhere came the thought of
getting rid of the papers by burning them -
it was such a neat way of getting ride of
them, we didn't stop to think. In that small
fire we committed some terrible crimes,
such as arson and fraud.
Also because of our laziness our self
respect will be dragged through hell by the
gossip of other people being passed on and
one until the climax of us will be sent for
capital punishment. The fact is choose
friends you can trust, you can end up dead
along with many others if you don't stop
and think.
—To all you boys and girls out there that
have free time on your hands this summer,
I'll tell you lighting fires isn't a good thing
to do in free time. I know because we tried
it. The reason I tried it was because all I
wanted to do was get rid of a few papers
which I shouldn't have, because I was get-
ting paid to deliver papers and I didn't.
Just think what could have happened if the
fire couldn't have been stopped. I'll tell
you. The bush would have been burnt down
and also the other surroundings, like
houses and garages. People could have
been severely hurt or killed. Also I could
have been charged a fair amount of
money. Some of the charges would have
been arson, fraud from my employer I was
worldng for and other charges that could
add up to a lot of money. Involving the
Police and Fire Departments in something
that shouldn't have been done because
they could have been needed somewhere
else in a more life and death situation. Just
because I wanted to get rid of a few papers
that could have took a minute to do. So
please don't waste your summer doing bad
things like that because I don't want to
have to see you with a record and have to
see you pay money for something I told
you about.
So watch it, use your free time wisely by
doing things everybody enjoys.
Thanks.
