Call Today! 522-0648 DEADLINE MAY lst Ac=re 0 UAgrecuttz P ntn ark �in!sW a1 �J A new business has located in Egmond- viile, as Larry and Marilyn Horne have taken their appliance service operation from its former location in Sebringville and established it in a more central location. Huron -Perth Refridgeration and Ap- pliance Service, formerly Phelan's Place Service, is now located on 2nd Street in Egmondville. Mr. Horne and serviceman Dave Gardens will repair basically any ma- jor household appliance located between Goderich and Stratford. The business has been operating from Egmondville since January, but Mr. and Mrs. Horne bought it in July of 1987. Mr. Horne says it was the challenge that made him want to go into business for himself. He adds when he started with Phelan's place eight years ago he helped build their service department from the ground up. But after eight years Phelans became too big to manage their service department and they asked if he would take over that aspect of their business. Mr. Horne says he bought the appliance service business "for a certain amount of in- dependence," and adds he wasn't really worried about how the business would do under new ownership and in a new location. "I wasn't really nervous, The question wasn't whether we could do it, it was whether we could keep our customer base in Stratford and get some here." Mr. Horne tried to continue the appliance service operation from its location in Sebr- ingville, but the building there was about a quarter of what he has in Egmondville, and it wasn't working well. He and Mrs. Horne are Seaforth natives, so when they wanted locates in Egmondviile it .Tv,�r r®�'r •w •-e w '�-;rS R'F.rRIGI1t ATION ,1i APPLIA'Nf SERVICE PA A NEW BUSINESS has come to Egmondville, as Larry and Marilyn Horne, seen here, have relocated their business, Huron Perth Refridgeration and Appliance Service, from Its former place In Sebringville to Its new location on Second Street.

Judy Kuehl says the hot waxing treatment can be used to safely remove hair from the legs, bikini line, upper lip, eyebrows, or anywhere on the body, and notes that some men even make use of the service to remove hair from the nape of the neck. Mrs. Kuehl says Seaforth Slender Concept has also joined the Stauffer Trade Associa- tion of Toning Salons, "which means we're able to practice a new method which is good for any shape, form, age, or disability of person to participate." Mrs. Kuehl adds the new method is stress free and is a similar method to the common toning salon method, but it places greater emphasis on posture and weight distribu- tion. Through proper weight distribution, Mrs, Kuehl says, women will not necessari- ly lose weight, but will lose dress sizes, have better posture, and generally feel better.

"I think I made my intentions clear when I bought it two years ago," said Mr. Van Dorp. "My main concern is getting business." He added that the residence will be empty if the greenhouse goes out of operation. The rezoning to allow the residence is go- ing ahead, and a public meeting will be held in the township in May. INSURANCE Dave Reid of Frank Cowan Insurance went over the township's insurance coverage, and council renewed its policy with the company. The policy gives the same coverage as last year and gives the township insurance for buildings, equipment, liability, etc. at a cost of $17,691. ROADSIDE MOWING Council gave the contract to mow the township roadsides to William Fother- ingham for $15 per hour in 1989. The rate was $14 per hour in 1988, which amounted to a total cost of $1,650 each time he serviced the entire township's roadsides. Councillor Larry McGrath suggested council should tender the job, to give others who may want an opportunity to do this ser- vice the chance to be considered. .. Other councillors said Mr. Fotheringham stores the mower, does repairs, and does a good job. Rowena Wallace pointed out the cost of tendering the job could make up the difference of obtaining a less expensive operator. Deputy -Reeve Bill Carnochan said this matter was looked at last year and it was felt the township couldn't get a cheaper operator for the quality of work. NEW MOWER Council accepted the tender from McGavin Farm Equipment for purchasing a new mower. The price is $5,337.25, and $1,200 will be given for the township's trade- in mower. Other quotes were Becker's Equipment Ltd. $5,500, and Vincent Farm Equipment Ltd. $5,654 and an allowance of $1,003 for the trade-in. MAINTAINING ELIZABETH PARK Ed Boyes sent concerns to council through Larry McGrath that he would be interested in seeing Elizabeth Park cut on a regular basis. Mr. Boyes also cuts the Egmondville Cemetery and the Van Egmond property, and council asked him to submit a price for also cutting the park. Formerly the park has been cut as often as council requested. STREETLIGRTS Council got prices for streetlights re- quested by Egmondville residents John Flannery and Clara Brugger. $280.20 is the cost of the lights, not including installation. It was noted council initially pays Ontario Hydro for the light and its installation, then charges the people in the area. UNITED CHURCH The Egmondville United Church has ap- plied for matching grants from the Provin- cial Access Fund in order to gain better ac- cessibility for the disabled and seniors. Grants are available to groups who wish to make their facilities more accessible to the community and for community events. The church requested and received council's support in applying for an access grant. ASSESSMENT APPEALS Township assessment appeals will be heard in the town of Seaforth on April 28, 1989.
