Policeman injured in Sunoco scuffle A 21 -year-old Seaforth man is being charged with Resisting Arrest, Causing a Disturbance, and Mischief (damage to pro- perty ) ro- perty) under $1,000, after he struggled with police and injured a police officer at the Sunoco service station in Seaforth Monday night at approximately 10:15. Constable Harro Maydell was called to the Sunoco service station when the attendant reported a disturbance. The man causing the disturbance resisted Constable Maydell, and the officer struggled with the man in the station and across the lot, but eventually got him into the police cruiser. In the cruiser, the man kicked or punched the window out of the rear door of the vehi- cle, and in an ensuing struggle Constable Maydell was cut by glass on the head. Constable Dave Dale was called to assist at about 10:30. When the situation was under control the two men were taken to the Seaforth community hospital where the wound in Constable Maydell's head was closed with three stitches, and the arrested man's hands were treated for lacerations. The man has been released and will ap- pear in court May 1 in Goderich. Hospital addition burglarized The addition to the Seaforth Community Hospital was burglarized over the weekend. Seaforth Police are investigating the Break, Enter and Theft which occured sometime on or between April 14 to 17. Stolen from the addition, which is still under construction, was approximately $900 in materials including a propane heater, drum fan, some insulation and drywall screws. The contractors Melloul-Blarney were the owners of the stolen equipment. Town approves purchase of mower attachment Public Works Superintendent John For- rest has been authorized by council to pur- chase a six foot grass cutting attachment for the Trackless MT Snowblower/Tractor. The approximate cost of that unit is $1,500 plus sales tax. The attachment would be used by the Recreation Department for the outside maintenance of the High School Baseball Diamond, the Arena, Victoria Park, The Town Hall and the Library Properties. It may also be used to provide contract grass cutting to other agencies, which would in turn help pay for the capital expenditure. It is estimated grass cutting in 1988, of the above named properties, cost a little over $1,600. In light of the approved purchase of this mower, Seaforth Recreation Director Marty Bedard, has also been authorized to hire„a full time employee, at a rate of $$.50 per HORSING AROUND on the teeter totter down at Photo. Lions park on Saturday. Corbett hour, to maintain the Town's parks and recreation facilities for the 1989 sununer season. In the past a number of part time employees have been hired, resulting in in- consistency in the maintenance. It was suggested, with the introduction of streetscaping to the Town of Seaforth, and the new additions to Victoria Park, that full time maintenance by the same person, would better serve the town's needs.
