able to do much work. He was' very quiet. He
did ask me if he could keep the grass cut
around the building, just something to put in
the time," says Mr. Hanna.
MURDER
"The first 1 heard about a murder was
about seven Wednesday morning. 1 Saw an
ambulance stop at the hotel. 1 went over. It
looked like he was thrown through a plate
glass window in one of the front doors. Two
guys who were waiting for a bus to Douglas
Point saw him Tying there. The bus picks
them up at 6:30 every nwrning.
"It looked like he tried to get up and get
back in throughthe other front door. He was
just crumpled in a heap, lying in a pool of
blood. 1 looked in the kitchen window and saw
a package of cigarettes beside the radio.
There was a beer bottle on the table. 1 told the
police that,l didn't think the man smoked.
The radio is still on. Nobody has bothered to
Landfill/
turn it off and the bathroom Tight was still on.
It ,must have happened earlier the night
before. •
"The police were coming and going all day.
They sure didn't waste any time arresting
somebody."
lIjIRS TiME
Another Belgrave r sident , who wished to
remain anonym es, as away the day the
murder' -was discov ed and didn't return
home, unt,il 5.r)r "We saw all the police
cars and were wondering what on earth was
going on. This is the first time somebody has
been murdered in Belgrave. About 10 years
• ago. a man killed his wife and took his own
life, but that was about two miles out of
town."
"1 just can't understand it. We didn't know
the man at all, but it's too bad things like this
have to happen anywhere. Everyone is
shocked."
FROM PAGE ONE
The matter was not discussed by the
committee following the private meeting
with landowners.
"1f the (present) Seaforth site is closed,
what happens to our garbage?" asked Bill
Siemon, McKllIop's representative. "The
garbage doesn't disappear."
"A new site will be phased in when the old
one is closed," said George Godin.
"The Ministry of Environment will jump
through hoops, before they close the site.'"
said Mike Mitchell. "
A' point of contention raised by Mr. Siemon'
was that the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food "doesn't approve the use of
agricultural land for waste,disposal, but have
approved it for gravel extraction. Why did
they approve for extraction if they didn't want
it taken out of agriculture?"
Tree planting, placing barracades over
monitoring wells and installing gates at the
new site was discussed. The engineers alsc
felt the committee should be the advisors
concerning the public's questions and
concerns.
"We'll be lucky if we get a response from
the ministry in two months," said Mr.
Mitchell.
Safety concerns McKillop resident
McKillop township council has received a
complaint about the deterioration of the'
berm along the road allowance abutting the
gravel pit on concession two and three.
The letter was referred to Craig Laing of
the Ministry of Natural Resources.
The berm was installed five years' ago,
after a car went over a cliff at the gravel pit.
The driver of the car was killed.
"The berm is deteriorating on one side. It
should be repaired so another accident
doesn't happen," says Mary Vanden
Henget, who lives in the area and brought
the problem to council's attention.
"The Ministry said it was not their
responsibility because the site was not used
as a gravel pit any more. 1 now feel it is the
responsibility of the township," she says.

Ciderfest. visitors from near, far
At least 3,000 people. from the area but
also from farther away than ever before,
attended the Van Egmond Foundation's
ninth annual Ciderfest on the weekend.
Expanded publicity, brought visitors here
from Toronto, Kitchener, London, Stratford
and Huron and Perth towns. says foundation
chairman Paul Carroll. While Sunday, when

events were at the Van Egmond House; was
as usual the biggest day, Saturday, both
downtown and at the house was "good and
steady all day long."
"We tried to concentrate on family
entertainment this year," Mr. Carroll says.
Young and old sat on benches under the trees
on the Van Egmond house lawn and listened
to entertainers on the porch of the old house.
FREE FACE PAINT
"Free face painting for the kids was really
popular." Painters were Katimavik workers.
The chairman paid tribute to 37 of them, from
London, Exeter and Goderich as. well as
Seaforth who helped out all over the place at
Ciderfest.
Also for the kids. although adults enjoyed it
too, was a chance to make dried apple head
dolls with Fran Hook. Puppet shows with
Yvette Campbell and dancing by Lila Story
and Donna McLlwain's youngentertainers
were also popular.
The Oneida Marching Band scheduled for
Saturday had to cancel at the last minute
when a grandmother to many band members
died, Mr. Carroll says. The Schmaltz and
Pickleheimer Brass Band from New Dundee
replaced them. "It was fun."
As always, other groups in the community
are welcome to add their own events to
Ciderfest, "to round out a big weekend" and
of course keep their own proceeds, Mr.
Carroll says.
Ciderfest moved to Oct. 1 and 2 this year
because in 1982 it was held on the same
weekend as Seaforth's Fall Fair and some
people felt that was a conflict. Mr. Carroll
says he'd hate to switch the date again.
Events at the first Lions Oktoberfest
complemented Ciderfest, the Van Egmond
chairman says. But he suggests, "in terms of
promotion out of town they should be one big
event....There's more profit for everyone.
Apply for grant for
third ball diamond
Another recommendation from Seaforth's
master plan for recreation is being put into
action. The rec committee is applying for a
Wintario grant to build a new baseball
diamond in the centre of the racetrack at the
fairgrounds.
The Agricultural Society, owners of the
property, have agreed in principle says rec
director Bryan Peter. The application is for
the 1984-85 fiscal year.
A third ball diamond, especially for hard
ball, is badly needed in town, the rec
director says, although he doesn't want to
get peoples' hopes up that the new diamond
will be ready for next summer.

Samuel Smillie of fuckersmith arrived.
here from the old country and had with him
two young stallions and P filly of the pure
Qydesdale breed, which he purchased in the
old country. Mr. Smillie may well be
congratulated on his judicious choice.
D.D. Wilson of Seaforth has made an
important addition to his flock of Shropshire -
down sheep. While at the Provincial
Exhibition he purchased a magnificent ram
Iamb and a pair of very superior ewe lambs.
Jas. Ireland of Wroxeter has taken
possession of the oatmeal mill, having
leased it from A.L. Gibson. Although going
into milling, Mr. Ireland is not going out of
the grocery business, but is with the
acceptance of his brother running the two
businesses together.
OCT. 9, 1908
George B. Henderson of the Egmondville
Brewing Co. has purchased the old Sage
hotel in Walton. Mr. Henderson does not
intend to occupy it himself, but purchased it
as an investment.
P.J. Ryan has sold his farm on the 14 con.
McKillop to William H. Anderson of Wallace
Township. The farm, which contains 182
acres, with good buildings was sold for
58,300.
Four suspicious looking men have been
seen loitering in this neighborhood. George
Dale of the Huron Road surprised four men
in the mow of his barn on Thursday
afternoon. Mr. Dale ordered them out. They
headed north along the McKillop and Hullett
boundary. Mr. Dale came to town and
notified Constable Gillespie. Extra con-
stables were placed .on duty and the street
fights were kept going all night. Strangers
were seen in town acting in a suspicious
tees y@opo
manner. On Saturday nigfit four men broke
into the Post Office to Milverton, and blew
up the safe. They carried off about 520 in
cash and 5100 in stamps.
OCT. 6,1933
The Seaforth Collegiate Institute Cadet
Corps have been awarded the London Free

physical training exhibition in Military

A well-known Seaforth business closed
HPRCSS not giving up on funding
The Huron -Perth Separate Schpol Board
hasn't given upon getting funding for a 51.5
million project which woald sec small
gymnasiums and library rooms added to
some schools.
The board's application for 5700,000
through the Canada -Ontario Employment
Development (COED) program was turned
down in August. The remaining 5800,000 was
to be debentured by the board over a 10 -year
period.
The two-month delay of the application
from the London regional office of the
Ministry of Labor, which oversees the
program to Toronto, was questioned by Ron
Marcy, Stratford trustee. "Where was it
until then (June 24)?"
Superintendent of business and finance,
Jack Lane, the application wast the
London regional office. He said the regional
office had to find 48 available, skilled,
workers for 40 weeks.
The director also had a reply from Premier
William Davis to his letter sent during the
summer on the board's COED application.
The premier's letter left the trustees with
more questions.
"Although your board's application was
submitted on April 22, 1983. the initial
application and federal field assessment was
not received by provincial staff until June 24,
1983. As the board admits, it's proposal is
ambitious. and a thorough assessment of the
local labor market was required to ensure that
sufficient numbers of skilled workers were
available for the project.
"1 wonder, if the unemployed people in the
two counties (Huron and Perth) heard that, if
they'd be available?" asked Vincent Mc-
Innes, Wingham area trustee. He was
referring to a comment by Mr. Lane that the
Ministry of Labor had to go to London and
Kitchener to look for enough workers.
The business superintendent said June 15
had been set as the original date to consider
the board's application, but after severe;
meetings were cancelled. tine application was
finally rejected on Aug. 10.
Federally and provincially matched dollars
for the COED program ran out in June.
"1 can speak highly of the people in
London," said Mr. Lane. He said the
proposal is a complex project.
' Over 0200 million was spent in three
months. Even 1 couldn't do that efficiently.
Damn it, are our schools and kids not that
important? if they (provincial government)
had done that four years ago (when the Tories
had a minority government) they'd have been
hung from the nearest tree," said Mr.
Eckert.
"And that's about as political as your
director will ever get," added Mr. Eckert.
relieving the tension in the room.
Saturday night when the closing out sale
