East, Seaforth Tal. 537-0410 REDUCE FLOODPLAIN - In an effort to reduce flooding in the Town of Seaforth, the CNR culvert was enlarged over the holi- day weekend. This action should remove 30 structures from the existing floodplain, and at the same time reduce by 1.5 metres, the level to which structures on the flood fringe have to flood proof. The Town of Seaforth and the Ausable Bayfield Conser- vation Authority have been investigating a means of improving the flooding problem in Seaforth since 1981. Since the previous single culvert acted more like a dam than a channel, because JIM ANDERSON TREE MOVING SERVICE TREES BOUGHT & SOLD Call Evenings... BLYTH 523-4894 Fitness Is Fun!!!

At a total project cost of $225,000 (only $30,000 of that amount borne by the Town) the addition of the culvert is considered the most cost effective solution to the flooding problem in Seaforth, and one that will provide the best value for the money spent. The culvert was installed by Birnam Ex- cavation Ltd. Robinet photo. WORTH MEAT MARKET PLAIN OR GARLIC STOREMADE SAUSAGE Township to discuss daycare with public Tuckersmith Township Council will be holding public meetings on two important issues in the township. A special meeting will be held September 12 at 8 p.m. at the township of- fice to discuss the Vanastra Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Study. B.M. Ross and Associates recently completed the study. A second public meeting will be held September 7 at 8 PM at the Vanastra Recreation Centre to discuss the amalgamation of the Lady Diana Nursery and the Tuckersmith Daycare Centre. In the past the Lady Diana Nursery has been operated separately as a facility for children with special needs, but in recent years government directives have been to combine these daycare services. The public meeting will be held to hear parent's views. FURNACES PURCHASED Council accepted the tender of Harold Wise Limited of Clinton to replace two gas fired furnaces at the Vanastra Recreation Centre for $9,995. There was considerable discussion about which type of furnace should be used in the recreation centre, as the chlorine in the building corrodes furnaces to the ex- tent that the last ones lasted only about five years. An engineer council consulted recommended the best answer is a heat exchanger outside the building, but coun- cillors felt the 46,009 price tag with this system was prohibitive. Council voted four to one in favor of ac- cepting the Wise tender, also accepting that the furnaces will need to again be replaced in five to six years. DENY REQUEST Council denied a request from the Egmondville United Church to use the Township Shed for a fundraiser. The church wanted the shed September 24 to host a breakfast in order to raise money to provide an elevator for the church entrance. "I'm not in favor of a public works building being used for things of this sort when the township is running facilities for this sort of thing at a loss," said Councillor Rowena Wallace. Councillors were concerned about equip- ment in the shed, liability, and it was noted that other groups with similar re- quests had been turned down. Councillor McGrath said he would be in favor of allowing the church use of the shed if cer- tain provisions were made clear, such as the use of a snow fence to keep people away from equipment. Council passed a motion "that the Township of Tuckersmith Council deny the request for the use of the township shed for public functions," four votes to one (Councillor McGrath's). POLICING CONMINIITTEE The township Community Based Policing Committee met August 23. Speeding and drag racing in the vicini- ty of the Heritage Estates Trailer Park, on the fourth concession, Huron Road Survey was one topic addressed, and committee members expressed concern for the safe- ty of children riding bicycles on these roads. A discussion was held concerning mini bikes in the Vanastra Park area. A con- cerned citizen requested a designated area for the mini bikes, and would sign a waiver against any liabilities. Council decided against such an area. Constable Patterson informed committee members there will be no warnings given for seatbelt violations, and fines will be issued on all such occasions. This action is directly related to the number of fatalities resulting from drivers not wearing seatbelts. It was recommended that slow moving vehicles, tractors in particular, should pull off at intervals to allow faster moving traf- fic to pass. It was noted that a potion of Mill Street in Egmondville that has been recently pav- ed, may require road signs in order to slow speeding vehicles along that stretch. Speeders have been noticed mainly on weekends and nights. And a cream -colored van was declared a hazard on the road. The van has been seen driving dangerously and loaded with youths, apparently not wearing seatbelts. The committee appointed Bill Brown to speak to the owner of the van. The telephone numbers to contact the OPP are: 524-8314 between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM for the Goderich dispatch, 1-800,265-2525 reaches the Mount Forest dispatch at all times, and after 4:30 PM calls are automatically transferred to Mount Forest. The next committee meeting will be September 13 at 8 p.m, at the township municipal office. BANNED An eight-year-old township boy was banned from the Vanastra Recreation Cen- tre and grounds after an incidence of van- dalism. The youth apparently used `a baseball bat to break doorknobs at the facility. ROAD SUPE1UNTENIIDENT Road Superintendent Doug Poulton received a certificate from the • Ontario Good Roads Association for successfully completing a 1989 Road Administration Course. Mr. Poulton achieved 97 per cent in the course, in which the class average was 87.5 per cent. ANNEXATION Council reviewed, correspondence from Gerry McLaughlin concerning the annexa- tion of his property into the town of Clin- ton. Mr. McLaughlin opposes the annexa- tion because of differences in municipal taxes and services. There are a total of four properties involved in the proposed annexation, and two of the property owners are opposed to it. Therefore, Tuckersmith council will not sign an annexation agreement. CRIME STOPPERS Area corn reaches Mozambique In February, several of the local chur- ches worked together to fill two boxcars with corn to be shipped to Mozambique through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB). The CFGB is an inter -denominational agency that responds to requests for food made from overseas. The over $19,000 worth of corn donated by the local con- gregations was shipped from Hensall Co-op to the Port of Montreal where it, along with corn bagged at other points in On- tario, was loaded on the "Baffin Bay". The vessel arrived in Beira, Mozambique on May 25. The corn was divided between two dif- ferent distribution agencies. First, 1,647 metric tonnes were allocated to the Chris- tian Council of Mozambique. Aboard the same vessel were some beans, and a small quantity of wheat to supplement the corn. This would be distributed primarily in and around the coastal city of Beira, although some corn would be airlifted to remote towns. Mission to Mozambique was the other recipient of Ontario corn. It received 380 metric tonnes, along with some supplemen- tary pulses and cooking oil for distribution inland. The arrival of the corn was timely, coin- ciding with an appeal for food aid by Mozambique. The food shortage there con- tinues to be critical. As a result the help of the local churches was appreciated and may be needed again in the future. 1.800-265-1777 1.798. MEDIUM GROUND BEEF 1.79.. 1 LB.
