A Huron East
resident living on the
outskirts of Clinton
wants the world to
know she's living in
Huron East, not
Bluewater.
Huron East council
received an email at
its July 18 meeting
from Robena Tyndall
commenting on recent
discussion about the
need for better signage
in Huron East.
"The municipality of
Bluewater has erected
a sign just as you are
going up the hill
coming out of Clinton
and it would be nice to
have a Huron East one
there as well. I am
proud to be living in
Huron East and want
people to know that I
live in Huron East and
not Bluewater," she
said in her email.

While the rain threatened
Saturday morning, the
weather held off for a
successful truck and tractor
pull in Seaforth on Saturday
afternoon.
"It went very well. At least
1,000 people showed up,"
says organizer Steve Fritzley,
who co-chaired the event for
the Seaforth Agricultural
Society.
"The power, the smoke, the
noise were unbelievable. It
went perfect," he says.
Fritzley is full of praise for
the Central Ontario Tractor
Pullers' Association, which
he says, "put on a heck of a
show," even adding
unexpected classes such as a
super stock class and
modified diesel class.
"They brought those
classes as demonstrators to
show what they had to offer,"
he says.
Fritzley says there was
only one difficulty with a
packer, whose axle fell off
while packing down the track
between pulls, causing a five-
minute delay in the event.
He says volunteers
included the Seaforth fire
department and local farm

The vast majority of corn
to be used in a proposed 200
million -litre eihanol plant in
the village will come from
Ontario sources, residents
heard at a recent
information meeting.
Details were relayed about
the project in the first of
what is promised to be _ a
series of meetings.
Representatives from
GreenField Ethanol,
formerly known as
Commercial Alcohols, met
with community leaders and
residents at Hensall
Complex to dispel myths
and get feedback from the
community.
Bluewater Mayor Bill
Dowson was on hand to
answer questions about the
project's two biggest
hurdles, water and
wastewater.
Top in residents' minds
were issues such as crop
purchasing, water usage,
noise, traffic and smell.
Bliss Baker, vice president
of corporate affairs assured
the crowd despite rumours
to the contrary, the majority
of the plant's required 20
million bushels of corn each
year would be coming from
local sources.
"We're locating here
because of the availability of
corn in Huron County," said
Baker, adding the plant,
running 24 hours a day,
