Accessibility • from page 3 they would have to be well adver- tised in either The Huron Expositor or a news bulletin specifically created for seniors. Although the seniors are pleased with the services and facilities now in Seaforth, they felt there is a need for more and that all facilities should be accessible. The sugges- tions will be tallied by the steering committee in the near future and brought up at its next meeting. Street • Ira 1 said Ms. Sills, lacing that the c_toaasi_s of Side Saw would just be a "band■id" suiuuuu to the problem any way. "mss Street is only 40.6 foot wick at liar one c d, and u as used by school children, and the buses.. 'lluetre's aero whale for an ambulance toset dirough." Sills the buspiwi should be looking further afield than Side Street, and suggested that Centennial Dive itself be extended north of the hospital and curved w pat with Duke Street, just north of the highschool property. The hospital, he noted, owns SO aeras of some of the best building lots in the arca, which it could then subdivide and sell. Mr. Sills also suggested that were Side Street extanded, Coleman Street should also be extended north and youth at the sane time. That, he said, would help to alleviate the congestion that might be caused when the road is shared by hospital and school bus traffic. "Over all these years something should have been done," commented Mr. Sills. "Now all of a sudden they're jumping on a bandaid solution." Mr. Sills' feeling that the Side Street extension would be a bandaid solution to the problem was echoed by others at the meeting. "It all comes down to traffic," commented Mr. Devereaux. "And the question is, are we solving one problem and creating another one at the foot of the hill where the school is?

We put up a fairly expensive home, and ex- pected that others in the ace would be of similar quality, which they are. What you arc talking about will create a great deal of traffic. Why should we suffer by opening up the street just because the hospital did not have the foresight to plan for it," she said, adding the fact the traffic count is highest during the week, indicates the clinic is solely responsible for increased usage of Centennial Drive. "I'm against the extension - for purely traffic reasons.

We could be selfish and say put the roadd through, but we're sensitive to the issues raised hears. We cer- tainly will be attempting to address this problem in any other fashion." Mr. Smith invited anyone with any ideas on how to solve the problem to contact him.

Like Mrs. Ribey, Mrs. Dinsmore was surprised by her nomination. "I didn't expect to be nominated," she said. "I think there area lot of worthy people out there. But it's certainly an honor to win something like this." Despite the high profile positions she's held with various or- ganizations, Mrs. Dinsmore said she's really a "behind the scenes" person. "That's really where I'm more comfortable - not out front," she said, adding that's why she's in- volved in Palliative Care. "I really don't know what to say - just that you do it. The job has to be done, and people are always saying they dont have time. You've just got to make time. But Seaforth police the telephone lines were down. Always prepared for emergencies, the Seaforth police had a back up telephone they connected to the police telephone number in their office. The telephone had to be manned the whole time and when a call came through an officer was called to investigate. If there was an emergency that called for the fire department, only numbers with a 527 exchange would have reached the dispatch at the hospital. For out of area people the fire department could have been reached by a call to the police. Or, a call to other fire departments, such as Brucefield or Hensall, would have allowed the Seaforth fire department to be reached by radio. Canada I've got a great family, and a very supportive family, and the kids are older now, so it's a lot easier."

He also coached a minor ball team for one year. "Finding an individual willing to commit their time and energy to coach a team is not an easy task. Over the years Rick Wood has shown great dedication in helping and coaching baseball, hockey and ringette, as well as in umpiring ball. Sharing his knowledge and skills with our children has contributed greatly to the fine calibre of teams existing in Seaforth today," wrote Pauline Siemon, President of the Minor Ringette Association. "More importantly Rick goes beyond teaching children the mechanics of the game. He instills in them a sense of fun, friendship, fair play and good sportsmanship. Rick Wood is not only an excellent coach, he is a very special person. He deserves that special thank you and recognition by being awarded the honor of being a "Citizen of the year"." "I'm thrilled to receive the award, but that's not the reason you do it," commented Mr. Wood. "There were a lot of people who volunteered when I was a kid, and if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have done a lot of things." "I'm just paying them back - taking my turn, and I hope that my kids think to do the same," he added. "Because if you didn't have the volunteers, you wouldn't have a lot of the programs." Harvest • from page 1 Despite their concerns, however, the Hensall Co - Operative, is reporting that even with the late harvest, quality wise the sample is good. "The white beans are in very good shape, even with the late harvest, " commented Larry Shapton, Sales Manager. "And the soybeans and grain corn yields appear to be above nor- mal." Mr. Shapton noted that the corn is wetter than it should be, resulting in higher drying char- ges, but he said farmers can't afford to be waiting for dry days, so are perfectly happy to take it. He said 80 per cent of the white beans were off before the rain, and even the remaining 20 per cent seem to have weather the storms well. "The quality is still not af- fected. The lower pods were the ones of poorer quality and they were clipped and left in the fields," he said, adding again, that despite everything the yields still seem good. "In 1989 Huron county produced approximately 170,000 acres of grain corn, with an estimated yield of 100-110 bushels per acre. Approximately 76,000 acres of soybeans were harvested the same year with a yield of 30 bushels per acre. Approximately 53,500 acres of dried white beans were harvested and yield was 13 per 100 weight per acre. "This year it seems more a time thing and a moisture thing than a yield thing," commented Mr. Shapioti. However because of the delay in harvest, farmers have also been late in getting their winter wheat planted Winter wheat generally gets planted in fields vacatred by the beans.
