Letter to the editor
Legion, Aux. oppose seat removal at Hall
THE EDITOR,
We wrote North Huron council a
letter on Feb. 20 expressing our
views in regards to a change of
seating at Blyth Memorial Hall.
Blyth Festival has acquired seats
THE EDITOR,
With the change in weather to
spring, I was very excited to be able
to take my new puppy out for her
first walk. So, armed with
everything a good dog walker needs
including a plastic bag and pooper
scooper, off we went.
You can only imagine how
disappointed and disgusted I was to
find other doggie doo-doo
THE EDITOR,
Assisted suicide and stem cell
research are vital issues in the news
these days. Ask Wesley J. Smith, of
California, who is coming to the
Walkerton area to speak on Friday,
April 12.
Loss of autonomy, and fear of
being a burden, have long since
overtaken uncontrollable pain as
reasons for people requesting
assisted suicide. Organizations such
as the Right to Die Society are
capitalizing on these fears to exploit
the vulnerable and line their own
pockets. Although they pretend to
have your best interests at heart,
there is no counselling, just an
exchange of your money, for their
paraphernalia.
Stem cell research is a good thing.
For example, bone marrow stem
cells have been used to produce
St. Jacobs
THE EDITOR,
The Village of St. Jacobs, in
Woolwich Twp., is celebrating its
150th anniversary which a
Homecoming on the weekend of
Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June
23 We would appreciate your
assistance in extending an invitation
to your readers who have called St.
Jacobs "home" over the years — both
'current and former St. Jacobs
residents — family members, friends,
neighbours, and business people. We
don't want to miss anyone!
Please plan to come back home for
Legal campaign
Continued from page 1
That time, the public campaign
was spearheaded by a group called
the SDHS Student Success
Foundation, and its chief
spokesperson was Smith, since
elected as trustee. However, the
actual names on the legal
documents were Smith, Alfred
Ross, Carolanne Doig, David Scott
(then mayor of Seaforth), and
Maureen Agar.
This time, Agar and Doig remain
among the five parties named, along
with fellow Seaforth residents Lisa
Campbell and Dick Burgess. All
four have appeared at various times
before the board in support of
SDHS.
Most interestingly, however, the
name heading up the list of parties
represented by Leitch is the
municipality of Huron East.
Councillors voted late last year to
put aside a fund to fight any
proposed closure of the high school,
and mayor Lin Steffler has appeared
before the board on numerous
occasions in the past few months.
from Shaw Festival at no cost.
At that time we did not object to
the newer seats being installed
provided no numbers were
decreased and existing name plates
be on the new deSignated seats.
everywhere! It seemed each piece of
grass owned by the town and even
some lawns were scattered with both
small and large feces.
Is it not the lam to scoop up after
your pet? If it's not fit to walk a dog
in Brussels, how fit is it to let our
children play in the parks, walk
home from school, play soccer in
soccer fields, or play baseball in the
baseball park?
kidney and brain cells; skin stem
cells have been made to produce
muscle and fat cells; blood cells
have been directed to produce liver
and heart cells; and even stem cells
taken from fat have been converted
into muscle, bone, and cartilage.
All these types of stem cells can be
found in children and adults, and
thus are called adult stem cells. They
have been used successfully for
about the last 20 years.
The controversy comes in,
however, when we start talking
about research with embryonic stem
cells, which are obtained from living
human embryos, or aborted babies.
You see, when you remove the stem
cell from a human embryo, the
embryo dies.
Another problem here, is that
despite much hype and many
predictions, there have been no
a very special weekend — a tribute to
our beloved Village of St. Jacobs and
the 150 years of history we share.
Some of the events during
Homecoming Weekend are: the
parade and Homecoming Street
Dance on Saturday. The community
church service and potluck lunch is
Sunday at 10 a.m. at Calvary United
Church, St. Jacobs.
Since that time, we have had a
joint meeting with Branch 420
Ladies Auxiliary and representative
from Blyth Festival in attendance.
Several members of the Legion
and Ladies Auxiliary have also had a
I can find absolutely no excuse
for not picking up after your pet. If
you can't see to scoop, stay at home
and let your pet poop in your own
backyard.
There are some very studious dog
and cat owners, I know, but those of
you spoiling it for the rest of the
town, should perhaps trade in your
pet(s) for a fish.

chance to "try out" the few
replacement seats which have been
installed at this time. A general
consensus is the seats are lower to
the floor, very hard to get out of,
have a very quick opening process
and as mentioned prior, less roomy.
We wish to firmly state that we are
opposed to any removal or
replacement of seats.
The seats in question are original
to Memorial Hall, appear to be in
good condition, are cushioned
sufficiently to sit for approximately
one and a half hours at a time. Their
age and beauty complement the hall,
a heritage we wish to preserve.
We are not opposed to change or
progress; however as individuals of
this very special community we have
a tremendous pride in the fact we
have' a hall (with original seats
intact) built in memory of our fallen
soldiers and those who unselfishly
Served to earn the freedom we enjoy
today.
These feelings are especially
strong among the Legion and.Ladies
Auxiliary members.
Let us preserve and restore — not
replace.
Yours truly,
Crystal Taylor
President Branch 420.
