Local iceman expanding Continued from pg. 2 fewer treats like ice cream available until nature made some more of the cold stuff and the cycle .went 'round again. The iceman used to deliver blocks on routes similar to the milkman. There were cards to put into your window, much like the cards some place in their windows today for courier pickups, that when rotated to the desired figure told the driver how many blocks you wanted delivered today. There were also such things as books of ice delivery coupons, . an aspect of our social landscape that has since entirely vanished. But the business is still out there. And growing in Seaforth. EXPANSION SOON Stryker says the growing popularity of coolers and cam- ping in the late 1960s and early 1970s was a boon to the modern business. He says the Huron Ice Com- pany has outgrown its current location and will soon look more like a business for bewildered delivery men. It has purchased property across from Sun North Systems, on the southeast corner of Sparling and Railway Streets, where it will expand "in the near future." This, among other things, will pave the way for growth and Increased produc- tion and allow the use of lift trucks while accommodating things like tractor -trailer units. The com ' ny now occupies about 3,111 square -feet of space, and the new building will be in the 6,000 to 8,000 - square -foot range. Stjyker says how much production will increase immediately is "hard to say" but it "will probably double somewhere down the road". He says there are more government regulations every day and he expects more; "you have to stay on your toes to keep on top of it". "Service" is the biggest les- son Stryker says he has learned in his more than two decades in business. This also applies for the people he employs. "The customer pays their wages and you have to keep the customer happy, although you must have quality to keep the customer happy", he says. Working out of a small rural town has its advantages and drawbacks, he adds. A business in a more populated area has the benefit of a larger potential market, but also involves time- consuming delivery costs you don't get in the country. "We like the small com- munity," Stryker says. "It has its pros and cons." Pacifier warning The Health Protection Branch of Health Canada today warned consumers that Kidentlals pacifier models 148 and 149 could be dangerous to babies. These models are handleless newborn, nighttime pacifiers with a white mouthguard dec- "brated with childish prints. Dublin runner a champ Meaghan O'Reilly came home from the Huron -Perth Separate School Track and Field Meet a champion. The Grade 5 student at St. Patrick's School, Dublin, placed first in the 100 metre and 200 metre races as well as the ball throw at the meet held June 22 in Goderich. These victories earned her the title of the top junior girl of the meet. She said she prefers run- ning in the shorter races. In Meaghan O'Reilly Goderich, it showed. She easily pulled away from the pack and won each race. O'Reilly said she also plays soccer and swims. George Haid, her teacher, said she excels in all sports and is a nat- ural athlete. "She isn't on a track team but she should be," he said. Top athletes from all the separate elementary schools in Huron and Perth counties competed. McCowan sprints to silver Steve McCowan doesn't let a disability stop him from reach- ing thc top. McCowan, a Central Huron Secondary School student from Brucefield, competed at the Ontario Games for the physi- cally -challenged in St. Catharines on the weekend and was one of 16 Ontario athletes to qualify for the Canadian Games for the physically -chal- lenged in Saint John, N.B. on Aug. 11-12. Cerebral Palsy is the disabil- ity McCowan has. At the games on the week- end, McCowan competed iu thc 100 -metre run, in which he won a silver medal, and in the running long jump, in which he won a gold medal and set a Canadian record in his cat. egory. He jumped 5.14 metres. His goal for the Canadian Games, he said, is to improve his 100 -metro run and to jump at least four to five metres in the running long jump. This is McCowan's first year competing at this level. NISA deadline The deadline for 1994 NISA submissions is July 31, 1995 for all participants.

Rightists want to protect our right to inflict self -injury cont. from page four minimum . community stan- dards. The bicycle helmet law is one of those standards. It is bad news that Mike Harris wants to review the proposed helmet law, which was to take effect in October of this year. The new conservatives, however, want to protect our right to inflict personal injury upon ourselves. "Please, Mr. Govern- ment...let me incur needless head injury in the name of individual rights. But, if 1 choose to split my skull open and I spend the rest of my life in intensive care, I will not object to the State paying my medical bills."
