(OMAF Photo) At its regular meeting July 12, Seaforth council considered the following mat- ters: Clerk Jim Crocker reported that OMERS, the municipal employee pension plan, has a new provision for early retire- ment. A pension will not be reduced on early retirement if the member's age and years of service add up -to 90. Effective Jan. 1. 1983, a, member without the 90 factor will have his or her pension reduced by 5 per cent foreach year less than his or her normal retirement age. Sea- forth's police association has asked for an early retirement provision in its contract with the town's police committee. Funds have been received to hire a general handyman for 10 weeks under the Employment Incentive Pro- gram. The finance committee will interview and hire. A complaint on behalf of . John Lansink by his son B.J. Lansink of London. about United Trails buses being parked on R-2 residentially zoned land was discussed. Mr. Lansink said "if the buses are not moved I will commence legal )action against the owner and the Town of Seaforth." But clerk Fam011y What's in a name? Odds n° Endo by Bah® IrMilitgilt@fid How weld you feel if you had to go through life with a father whose name was - Tough Cookie and a mother whose name was Buttertart? What kind of name would you be saddled with? Tough Tart? Butter. Cookie? How would you explain it to your friends? • How could you face the world? What could you expect out of life? Sure, you'd be a horse. Don't horses have feelings, too? Don't they have pride in their heritage? A match like Tough Cookie and What -A. Hassle does not sound like a relationship made in heaven. Rockin' Robbie and Majestic Motion sounds like they'd make a hit - at least on the dance floor. • Dream Maker and Lucy Dares gives promise of more excitement in the relation- ship. Happy Fella and Romance Lady sounds like a perfect match. If your name influenced the amount of respect you received from others, how much . respect could you expect if your name was Windshield Wiper? How could you convince anyone you weren't a clown, if your name was Clown P r in c e ou? Id' Wanyone listen to your ser,ious philosophies of life, if you had to introduce, yourself as Monkey Wrench? Would anyone accept advice from Mud Flap? How much self-confidence would you gain if everyone called you Oh Its You or if you had to call yourself Just Me or I Can't Help It? How could you solve any problems if you were Dilemma? Could -Pride Alone rescue a friend, if he were Two Steps Back. Could Tiny Talent ever grow up? Would G Bunny ever become a Rapid Rabbit ? Could a Weeping Willow ever fulfill his Dream Of Glory and become a Tall Oak? Could Lucky Lucy be a Good Luck Charm for The Gambler, even though he had a hankering for Sassie Sal and The Wheel of Fortune? Could Sunset Sue ever hope to catch Sunrise Sam? Would Smog Alert ever see a Clear Sky? Could Beatcha Bya Nose and No Way resolve their differences with help from Photo Finish? These and other questions)are all part of the perplexing issue of "What's In A Name? Crocker explained the word- ing of Seaforth's zoning by- law does not prohibit , the parking of buses and the bylaw‘s wording is outdated. The clerk explained this in a letter to Mr. Lansink. and commented at, council that the complaintant "could take it to court and get a ruling from a judge." Local Boy ' Scouts will be distributing the rec depart- ment's master plan question- naire to 250 to 300 Seaforth families. The rec committee will call for tenders for lights and resurfacing at the tennis courts at SDHS. Transfer of Don Dupee from an arena assistant job to public work was approved. Superintendent John Forrest told the public works commit- tee the extra manpower was needed. ' Another public works employee Doug An- stett was approved for promo- tion up one level on his grid, which means a raise from 5/.68 to 58 per hour. Mr. Forrest reported after a meeting with CNR that the level crossing in town is in as good condition as is possible. He was asked to investigate further. The superintendent asked the public works committee who is responsible for clean- ing up after an event and was _told the department is expect- ed to help with a town -sanc- tioned event. Better com- munication is needed be- tween recreation and public works for special events, the committee suggested. The public works overtime report showed at least six hours directly related to the July 3 Canada Day celebrations. The, rec committee was given approval to purchase new decorations fop special events on Main St. Council endorsed a Gan- anoquc resolution calling for greater funding from the prbvince at the local level. A Wallaceburg resolution call- ing for arbitrators in police and fire salary negotiations to be named by the ministry of labour was turnrd, own.

The PUC will be asked to • clean the windows on the second floor of the town hall. as they have , the necessary equipment. Reporting from the PUC, mayor John Sinnaroon said negotiations with erhployees are in progress "and at this time we don't wish to make them public." Huron's new liquid manure holding tank bylaw "is the best we can get that will still stand up in court" reeve Bill Dale told council. He noted the county is also threatened with pollution from "90 miles of shoreline septic tanks along Lake Huron". LACAC is sponsoring a public meeting on the propo- sal for a downtown heritage district, on Wed. at 7:30, the reeve reported. Councillor Bob Dinsmore suggested that all council members try to attend another public Meet- ing, on the town's garbage disposal problems, Monday night at the same time and place. Council agreed to his motion that the entire public workseommittee be named to the landfill committee for the time being. Ambulance crew is tops K011bcanhcan Monday morning and I have just returned from the hospital for a second x-ray on my cracked shoulder. The local ambulance took"me. For ambulance boys I think they are tops in their careful treatment of the patients. As nothing was left to be desired. Since my fall 1 find several sensitive places. They were conscious of these and lifted me from one place to another without a jar. Thank you boys. You had a good training and your experience of course, has added to it. You do a very commend- able job. 11 have always found the Seaforth Ambulance highly professional in their every move. We really received quite a jolt when Helen Wilbee left our staff. Helen was an ex -pupil of mine. Also her husband. Tom. Both of these people have grown up to worthy and useful citizens in our town. Both Helen and Tom have fulfilled these qualifications without question. It is gratify- ing to an ex -teacher seeing her ex -pupils develop and be useful and worthy citizens. Canada needs such as you, who have served your country well. All the best to you Helen, we will be pleased to see,you any time. You gave advice freely to those who asked with intelligence far beyond your years. Clarence Drager, Mitchell with his sister Ella Holley. Glen and Ed Layton, Clin- ton, with Mary Layton.

The front page article in this week's Expositor inter- ested me very much as it could have been referring to the gravel pits at Dunipace where I was lamp. It brought to my mind what my tather used to say. That it made him think it was like selling the farm by the load. Therefore he didn't want to develop that business. In those days there wasn't the demand for gravel on the roads as of now. When the farm was sold the owner developed the business of washed gravel as there was ' the necessary water close at hand for its use. I was driven out there fairly recently and I was surprised at .the gaping holes which made It unsafe for a children's place for hikes or picnics. When the subject of a picnic came up and the question where will we go? The answer usually was to Turnbull's mountain 'of course. ' Remember/ it takg but a moment to place an Ex- positor Want Ad.
