Scaforth portion of the proceeds from a

the organizations' work and in the canvass,"
Mr. Walker said.

THE HURON EXPOSITOR, JULY 21 1982 R3
What about bulldozing? Heritage meeting asked
Continued from page 1—
"I'm not opposing this but maybe we are
trying to save too many of these old towns. ..I
predict they all will be wiped out with their
heritage right on their hats.•• .
"I hope you're wrong," replied Mr. Dzus.
-You know something. Roman, so do I".
replied Mr. Schoonderwoerd.
A Heritage Conservation District is just
one step. It has to be accompanied by
competitive merchants and modern mer-
chandizing, M. Dzus said.
The heritage district study will look at ways
to use Main St. buildings more intensively
and come up with guidelines for restoration
and filling in existing spaces downtown. As
well it will make recommendations for the
streetscape, parking, parks. open space and
on attracting more business and social
activity downtown, Mr. Brock said earlier in
the meeting. The plan to be developed will
contain key ideas for revitalizing downtown
but some of them could be the responsibility
of the MA or the town itself, he suggested.
NOT TO BE FIXED
The architect is looking at the physical
condition of Main St. buildings. "If a building
is in bad shape; if it's not feasible to fix up.
we'll identify it al such."
So far in one-to-one Meetings with Main St.
merchants, Mr. Brock called it "gratifying"
to learn that many do have plans to renovate
or improve their buildings. ;'The municipal-
ity benefits as a whole if' everyone looks at the
overview, at a more attractive whole."
Small towns are finding they have to do
some Main St. revitalization, es'pecially in
these hard economic times, Mr. Dzus said,
"to keep what they have." Plus. municipali-
ties are competing for shoppers' dollars. -If
they don't keep up...some small towns are in
danger of losing what they have now."
The planner called a Heritage Conserva-
tion District plan an investment "that can
improve property values. assessments.
create jobs and make Seaforth a better place
10 live and shop." There are some -practical
economic spinoffs", he summed Up, from
planning downtown Seaforth's future course.
If downtown is a diverse interesting place
where people enjoy being. downtown will
thrive." "
Architect Malcolm Reed, who workswith
iJohn Brock, outlined the progress towards a
Heritage Conservation District. Once the
present study is accepted by council it will
designate the physical area by bylaw. If there
are any objections to the plan. an OMB
hearing will .be held and there are "lots of
opportunities for questions. input. object -
WILL APPROVE
Once the plan is in effect, council will
approve any alterations to the exteriors of
buildings or any new buildings. based on
v. hat the heritage district plan guidelines say.
If any owner's plans aren't approved. he or
she can appeal to the OMB, which can pass,
modify or reverse . council's decision. It's
important, he stressed, that any plan be both
realistic and have town support.

Smoke, no fire
Where there's smoke there isn '1 necessarily fire, John St.
resident Lorne Lawson learned Tuesday' morning.
Before 9 a.m. Mr. Lawson and his wife Viola noticed
smoke billowing up from the basement of their home and
called the Seaforth fire department. ThevSmoke however,'
was from a testing of the town's sanitary sewers by public
works employees. looking for any leaks in the lines. '
Testing was carried out early Monday and Tuesday
motnings. and "there have been quite a few people
calling- says deputy clerk Luanne Phair.
changes to buildings and safeguards for
owners exist", Mr. Reed said. A Heritage
Conservation District designation isn't final
and he adds. -it doesn't force people to do
what they don't want to do."
A good plan. Mr. Dzus said, helps people:
"if they're making improvements to build-
ings. why not make them in a way that's
sympathetic to the whole downtown?';
LACAC chairman Ralph Smith' says
Seaforth's late 19th century Main St.
architecture is "unequalled and unparalleled
through the entire Province of Ontario". but
he says no one is advocating saving every
single building. LACAC member Dr. Cyril
Lacko suggested in some cases *b.- frnmc or
facades of present downtOwn buildings could'
be preserved while they are completely
modernized behind. "Many cities in Europe
are doing that and it looks good.'"
Mr. Reed reminded the audience that
tourism is becoming more important to the
province and that Seaforth's downtown has
the potential to attract tourist traffic./
"Without the agreement of all .concerned
the plan won't be successful and couldn't be.
Implemented " Mr. Brock added.
"I can't be pessimistic. I own four stores in
this town.•' Tom SchoonderWoerd said at the
end of the meeting. Another chance for public
input will come when there's a draft heritage
conservition plan in Oct. or Nov.

supposed to be wrong with the Banff water. -
Four. girls required medical attention, so Mr.
Kalbfleisch took Laura Chesney and Lori
Habkirk to a Special Emergency Clinic. "It's
just like the emergency department of a
hospital, but you don't have to wait as long
said Mr. Kalbfleisch.
Two other members, Joanne Carter and
Sandra Campbell. were taken by ambulance
to Foothills Hospital when Miss Carter
suffered from "terrible stomach pains" and
Miss Campbell "went into shock at the
hotel" said Mr. Kalbfleisch.
All four girls were released frdm the clinic
and hospital within hours after arrival. "All
this started before the marching competition.

On the return flight Wednesday night.
however. Miss Campbell had a relapse. "She
went into shock again. But she told me weeks
before that she was afraid of flying. So .it
might. have been fatigue and a terrific fear of
flying that caused'her Act be sick again. The
stewardess also told us that above 35,000
feet, flying affects some people." the band
leader says.
He was pleased with the attention the girls
received both,in Calgary and on the plane.
The Calgary Stampede had assigned a
hostess to the band. "She was an excellent
hostess. When we had to go to the
Emergency clinic, she picked us up and took
us there," says Mr. Kalbfleisch.
Likewise. "we were very well cared tor on
the plane. One of the stewardesses was a
registered nurse so she put Sandra on the
floor and gave her oxygen. They radioed
ahead so an ambulance was there when we
got into Toronto." he says.
The ambulance took Miss Campbell and
Miss Carter to Etobicoke General Hospital
where Mfs. Doig and another chaperone.
Karen Driscoll. waited with them for five
hours. Ron Driscoll and Mr. Kalbfleisch
waited with the luggage bus while the rest of
the band and other passengers returned to
Seaforth. The first two buses arrived in
Scaforth to a great welcoming party of family,
members at 10:30 p.m.
"The two ladies and Ron did a lot of
work. they were a great help". says Mr.
Kalbfleisch. At Etobicoke General, Mrs.
Doig and Mrs. Driscoll attempted to reach the
parents,of the two sick girls. Carol and Don
Carter and Ruth and Bob Campbell. "but
they must have already been at the school as
there was no answer." said Mrs. Doig. When
no-one could be reached at the high school.
Scaforth police were contacted. "Had we
been told anything serious. the parents would
have been contacted immediately.- says
Mrs. Doig.
The luggage bus arrived at 1:30 a.m.. but
delivered Miss Carter and Miss Campbell to
Seaforth Community Hospital before arriving
at the school. SDHS vice-principal Harry
Scott said 20 men returned to the school to
unload luggage. "It was great. we had a real
production line going."
Miss' Campbell, who was admitted to
Seaforth Community Hospital Wednesday
night. was tested and released Friday. Her
mother Ruth Campbell reported Tuesday she
was doing fine and had returning to her job at
Seaforth Public School. Mrs. Campbell
attributed her ,daughter's illness to excite-
ment.
Miss Carter was not admitted Wednesday
night but returned for tests Thursday. Friday
and Saturday. She had her appendix removed
Saturday morning. Her mother Carol Carter
reported Tuesday Joanne was doing quite
well and would soon be eating soft foods.
Although the band did not receive "any
major prizes. they got 5500 for. honourary
mention- says Mrs. Doig. The parade was
five miles and three and a half hours long.
• 'The weather was excellent and the girls
enjoyed trips to Lake Louise and Banff." says
Mrs. Ddig.
