The banks of Silver Creek through the Lions Park in Seaforth was the place to be Saturday if you were a fisher - person in search of the elusive trout. It was the 4th,annual Seaforth SportsmeClub' trout derby, blessed with balmy spring-like weather for achange, unlike its first three years. There were about 1,2 mil- lion Canadians registered as unemployed last month, a rate of about nine per cent, the biggest since the gover- nment began keeping figures in 1947.

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME has beer growing slower than the population across Ontario during the last five years, according to recently rel8as ed census figures from Stat- istics Canada. Huron's popu- lation in 1981 was 56.127 compared to 56,007 in 1976. a growth of 120 people or 0.2 per cent. ' Seaforth was growing at a faster rate than the county from 1976 to 1981, 1.4 per cent from 2,084 to 2,114. MAY 12, 1982 One billion dollars for farm credit at a 10 per cent interest rate will be requested by farm leaders at an upcoming meet- ing with the federal govern-, ment. Merle Gunby, an executive director of the Ontario Feder- ation of Agriculture told the Huron federation at its May 6 meeting, 60 farm leaders from across Canada will meet with finance minister Allan MacEachen later this month, Mr. Gunby was not 'sure Mr, MacEachen would be at the meeting. but, said there would be other government officials present. Tenders were received for a new grader and for the construction of an outside chimney at the township's hall when Hibbert council met May 3. The ' trial of a former Seaforth family doctor charg- ed with illegally prescribing drugs, a case believed to be the first of its kind in Canada, continues today at Provincial Court in Goderich .before Judge William Cochrane. Seaforth council has agreed to buy about five acres of land as a site for the new district community centre, about 150 feet north of the present condemned arena. According to the terms of an offer to purchase confirm- ed by bylaw Monday night, the town getsa deed to 4.5 acres of land owned by Anne and John • Middegaal for a $100 down' payment. The Middegaals will hold a pro- missory note, due in Novem- ber, for $53,000 purchase price at interest of 15 'per cent. A small oiece of land, about three-quarters of an acre, was purchased outright from Maude Dale for $6000. MAY 19,1982 There was a power outage affecting six businesses on' Seaforth's South Main Street Tuesday between the Canad- ian Tire store and the Toron- to -Dominion Bank. Public Utility Commission manager. Tom Phillips says he was notified of the prob- lem by the bank at about 7:50 a.m. The utility determined the problem was a 600 volt transformer bank at Canad- ian Tire. It wag re -fused after 8 a.m., but the system shorted out at about 9:20 a.m. The problem was then isolat- ed as the underground feed- ing the Canadian Tire store and an overhead line was strung to the business, which was still being used this morning (Wednesday). MAY 28, 1982 A recent meeting with businesses in Seaforth's in- dustrial Park will result in some changes. The economic development committeerecommended at council's May meeting that the town erect a Park identifi- cation sign and charge busi- nesses $10 for each listing. Ontario Municipal Board approval for a'uew Seaforth and District Community Cen- tre was received late last week and the five municipa- lities involved in the $1.4 million project didn't waste much time turning the first sod. The ceremony was held yesterday (tuesday) at the site of the new building: just north of the condemned and now closed Seaforth arena. JUNE 2, 1982 An existing bylaw concern- ing cattle trespassing in Hul- lett township was updated at a special meeting May 24. Responding to complaints about cattle running at large, council passed a bylaw, "to regulate the running at large or trespassing of cattle in the township of Hullett and for setting out penalties for the contravention." Seaforth had an accumu- lated net deficit of $7,404 at the start of this year. $43,419 less than at the end of 1980 when it had an accumulated net revenue of $36;015. Council spent $2,781 more than it had budgeted for general government last year, a category that includes the town hall and remunerat- ion to council members for regular meetings, payment for their investment as mem- bers of council on various boards and committees, and remuneration for convent- ions. Council actually spent $211.476 on general govern- ment in 1981. compared to a budgeted figure of $158.695 and 1980'sactual of$176,541. The difference in actual figures amounts to 534,935. Seaforth council passed its 1982 budget Monday night at town hall, increasing both commercial and residential mill rates in the municipality by 10.83 per cent.
