Oxford photo. Shabha Horse Show first for Seaforth BY SUSAN OXFORD For the first time in years an Open and Point All Breed Horse Show will be featured at the Seaforth Fall Fair. There will be two events: Shabha Show Open and Point and Appaloosa Horse Show. Co-organizer of the two events, Kelly Ryan, said Seaforth "has one of the finest horse showing facilities." Shabha Club began as the Exeter 4-H Horse and Pony Club under the leadership of Adrian Brand and as Shabha grew to include all of Huron County and points beyond, so did the need for more horse shows. This is the first time Shabha will be featured at the Seaforth Fair. There are 25 classes for the September 21 Shabha Show Fires lead to fines in Hensall Residents of Hensall could be hit with a fine of up to $250 for bur- ning rubbish including leaves and grass clippings. At Monday night's council meeting, a by-law was passed which prohibits open fires. Those wishing to have bonfires will have to notify the fire chief. The village is looking into alter- nate ways to collect leaves and clippings and hope to have that in place by the fall. Some discussion was made on the by-law. "'The person going around check- ing will have to use their discretion," said clerk -treasurer Luanne Phair. It was pointed out that fires for cooking, meaning barbecues, will still be permitted. "At the same time you may have someone who calls in and complains," said councillor Jeff Rcahurn. Ile added that it was important to note in the by-law the difference between fires for cooking and bon- fires. "We might as well prevent the problem instead of waiting until it comes up," said Reaburn. He said a lot of people in Hensall have bon- fires at night. In other business Monday night, D.W.R. Drainage of Stratford has been given the contract for reconstruction of Nelson Street. • The village received a letter from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce advising that the monthly service charge has been increased to $75 from $40. The bank advised that the village will be tendering its banking arrangement in six to 12 months. • The parks and recreation department will be submitting an application for a capital grant to replace the ice surfacer which needs extensive repairs. • The recreation committee received a $3,000 grant from Tuckersmith Township which matches last year's amount. • There was a concern about the number of dogs which are in the fenced -in area at the Hensall hotel. • The by-law enforcement officer reported that 16 parking tickets were issued last month. MOE gives $1.963M for sewers BY SUSAN OXFORD At the August 14 meeting of Seaforth council a by-law was passed under the Ontario Water Resources Act where the council of a municipality may by by-law authorize the municipality to enter into an agreement with the Crown for sewage works. This agreement is in conjunction with the S1.963 million dollars given to the town of Seaforth for their sewage works program. In the agreement the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and the town of Seaforth have entered into an agreement concerning sewage and its treatment.

In part two, the municipal works, of the plan sanitary sewers, a force main, additional lagoon cell, main sewage pumping station and sewage treatment plant will be installed at q 1 r► cost of 52,036,200.
