HURON EXPOSITOR, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1988
Ratepayers
From all appearances the few Seaforth
residents who attended an all candidates
meeting last Wednesday at the Seaforth and
District Community Centres, came to listen
and not to query the candidates.
A question period that followed five
minute presentations by each of the 11 can-
didates, was brief, and at times the ques-
tions offered seemed more an attempt to
end an awkward silence than anything else.
Approximately 60 people, about half of
whom were related to the candidates, at-
tended the meeting.
One resident expressed concern about
what she felt was the increasing number of
mature trees being cut down in Seaforth
each year.
"I don't know how many of you have notic-
ed there's less color on our Main Street,"
she asked, adding she examined the bases of
a number of the cut down trees and saw only
one that was rotten.
Acclaimed Reeve Bill Bennett assured
easy on candidates
residents that Seaforth has an annual in-
spection of area trees, and does not cut down
any that do not present a danger to the com-
munity. He noted approximately 30 trees
were cut down last year, and all were rot-
ting or splitting above the base. Those 30
trees were replaced by 75 seedlings.
"We don't like cutting down trees, and
have had trees that we've been asked to cut
down and haven't," he said.
"There's nothing more beautiful than the
shade of trees on our streets. I'm all for that.
So rest assured that the trees are not just be-
ing taken down because somebody thinks
there are too many leaves, or they're block-
ing the view from a house."
In other questions the issue of possible im-
plementation of a recycling program was
raised, as was the feasibility of incineration.
Council hopeful Bill Teall responded by
noting incineration, as a means of decreas-
ing the waste being trucked to landfill sites,
is now being phased out because of the
Stockyards' licenses revoked
Boal the livestock dealers licence and the
licence to operate a community sale barn,
were cancelled by the Director of the
Veterinary Services Branch, at a Livestock
Commission hearing Thursday into the
Brussels Stockyards Market (BSM). The
licences had been provisionally suspended
October 25 after allegations of fraud were
levied against BSM owner Klaus Henschel
of RR 3, Brussels, He is now believed to be in
West Germany.
Provincial Livestock Commissioner Dr.
John Henry said the decision was not a dif-
ficult one, given producers in Western
Canada who had sold cattle to the ESM had
riot been'paid;
