Norma Jeane's, is a brand new clothing store which held its grand opening on November 18. The store is owned by Marilyn Engel and is being managed by Fredie Smith. Ms. Engel grew up in Seaforth as a teenager, went to school to become a fashion designer, and has been living in Toronto and putting together her own line of clothing which car- ries the Norma Jeane label. This line of clothing will be available in the store in Seaforth by spring. Mrs. Smith has lived in Seaforth for the past seven years. She says she knows from having teenage children of her own, that there are le like, ut which they have had to go to Strles Seaforth's young at - ford, London, Toronto or other nearby cities to get. From talking to these kids she and Ms. Engel found a reason to open Norma Jeane's. Mrs. Smith says she is surprised at how fast the store has attracted attention, and adds there has been a lot of traffic and good sales so far. Norma Jeane's sells clothing aimed at "teenagers, or the young at heart." The store currently carries only women's clothing, but Ms. Engel is hoping to • get men's fashions as well fn the future. Offered are different styles in jeans skirts, etc., vin- tage clothing, and what Mrs. Smith calls "unique boutique." Ms. Smith says Norma Jeane's will help stop young people from going outside Seaforth to do their shopping, and will be good for Seaforth. "We're not competing with anyone. There's no other store like this in Seaforth, so how can we compete." Norma Jeane's will soon be getting. a sign, but its location on Main Street is becoming well known, and it has been dubb- ed "the only purple store in Seaforth." SLENDER CONCEPT Toning beds, the newest rage in fitness salons, will be coming to Seaforth. Judy Kuehl, with her parents June and Gerald Martene, will be opening a Slender Concept fitness centre in Seaforth. The fitness centre will have six of the toning machines, and will be located at Flower Magic's former location on Main Street. Mrs. Kuehl has been using toning beds herself since they recently became popular. She says they are basically motorized machines which move a person in various ways in slow, repetitious movements. There are six different machines for various exer- cises, and the person exercising spends eight minutes on each machine. The machines don't give a strenuous aerobic workout. "When you get done you feel good," says Mrs. Kuehl, adding you don't need to have athletic wear -just non - NORMA JEANE'S opened last week on Main Street, and will be selling styles for teens and the young at heart.

It would also like to see construction of an additional classroom, a gymnasium, a library and an administration area. The board has set 1990 as a target date for this project with a price tag of $896,700. At present St.James is situated on a block shared with residential properties and St. James Catholic Church. The permanent construction consists of five classrooms, a multi-purpose room (1500 sqaure feet), a single room which operates as a shared staff, health, and duplicating room. a single room shared by principal and secretary as one office, and a mechanical room. Sharing the site with the permanent con- struction are three portable classrooms that date back to 1970.

In the works for this .school are two new classrdom5, a Special Education resource room and a library. Target year is 1991 at a cost of $549,900. The board also hopes to purchase by next year 10 new portable classrooms for schools throughout the system including St. Patrick's, Dublin and St. Patrick's, Kinkora. The $388,000 cost should aid in the system's enrolment growth_ The total cost of the boards's 1989 forecast plan is 814,259,840. But their plan of action depends upon the ministry for funding.
