JANUARY 3 19!
Traditionally, the Christmas holldays'are
Smelling that kids start looking forward
to from 'the first day of school in
September. But all too often, the cries of
"School's out!" turn to moans of "There's
nothing to do.." by the time that the se-
cond week of the break rolls around.
For young aad old alike in Seaforth, that
problem didn't seem to .existover the
holidays this year. The snow that has been
tium -on--the--region- in the past-few--
weeks
astfew--
weeks has been keeping everybody busy:
If folks weren't busy shovelling it or
sliding- down_ mountains of it, . theywere.
freezing it into ice and skating on it.
Sunday's rain put a bit of a damper on
outdoor activities, but the return of the
white stuff and the rise in temperatures on
Monday brought folks back to the great
outdoors. The Expositor caught some
Seaforth natives on film, enjoying
themselves...or otherwise!
GETTING THERE is ho problem....
BUT STAYING THERE is another story, especially when you combine slippery snow
and even more slippery snowsuits. Greg Scott and Alice Dick challenged the hill
beside Lyon's supermarket, and won, but only after a few false starts.

IN THE NET or on the bench? Steve Greidanus, the goalie, was in two places
at once on Saturday afternoon. To top it off, he had his hands full trying to stop
shots from his brother, Tony, who makes another move for the ball.
I'D RATHER BE...doing just about anything, the expression on Frank Vincent's face
seems to say. He was busy this weekend, shovelling, the snow off of his daven-
port roof on Side Street. Chances are good that he'll be up there a few more times
this winter.
ROOM TO ROAM - Anna Maillox, left, and her friend Melissa Finlayson found the
ice rink outside the arena much less crowded than the one inside. The fresh air
was probably a good excuse for some hot chocolate, afterwards.
AIRBORNE - Anna Mailloux perfected her
leaps and spins on the outdoor ice rink
beside the arena this Saturday.

What's in store for area in 1990?
Most of us try to start off each new year
with some grand resolutions, great plans
and some sort of an idea of what the next
365 days will yield. And more often than
not, the resolutions dissolve into thin air
within a week or two, the best -laid plans
go awry and we realize that we have no
idea what the next 12 minutes, much less
12 months, holds in store for us. Oh, well.
Now we have a whole new DECADE to
worry about, along with it!
We asked some of the local dignitaries to
gaze into their crystal balls see what's hi
store for Seaforth, Tuckersmith and
McKillop for the next year. There are
some projects on the go, but it's basically
anybody's ball game.
Mayor Hazel Hildebrand cites the Huron
County Landfill project as on of the going
concerns for 1990, and would like to see the
old one closed and the new one opened as
soon as possible.
"I would hope that the Provincial
government can come through with our
grant for the sewer expansion," Seaforth's
mayor adds.
"If we can get the sewer expansion go-
ing, then we can get the work done on
streets in the south end of town that bad-
ly need doing."
And Streetscape? "We're working on
that, little by little, every year," she notes.
If 1989 was the year of the Rise and Fall
ut L.D. Wilson, it should be interesting to
see what develops in 1990.
Overall, Mayor Hildebrand is hoping for
a year of continuing prosperity for the
Town of Seaforth. Any personal resolutions,
Mayor?
"No," she laughs, "I don't make any of
those."
George Cantelon, Reeve of Tuckersmith,
has roads on his mind for 1990.
"We'd like to continue on road construc-
tion. whatever we can afford," he says.
"We'd like to build a bridge, if we can
get enough money from the government,"
he adds, referring to the Broadfoot's
Bridge in the township. Another big project
on the go over the next year will be the in-
itial work on the Vanastra Community Im-
provement project, slated to extend until
1993.
Marie Hicknell doesn't foresee any ma-
jor upheavals occurring in McKillop
Township in 1990, but the Reeve isn't rul-
ing out surprise developments, either.
"Something may come up in the next
year," she remarks. "We're having a
meeting Tuesday afternoon...something
may even come up then!"
She concurs with Reeve Cantelon,
however, that "..roads are the biggest con-
cern right now." If the predictions for the
coming year are an accurate indicator,
1990 should see some of the finest -looking
county roads in the province unveiled.
