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. 9Ri Thstudentse Elisabeth SEisar-vette oda were13 presented by Frank Falconer and aren, Byers 10 Bull. • a ak, Delaney, Lynne JaneDodds,LindDeniseBlDucharemJaynee, Ron Godkin, Theresa Gould, John Huether, Greg Hoggarth, Paul Kirkby: Kathy Larone, Jeanne McDonald. .

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 • HOMEMADE AND UNIQUE—Ciderfest vis- itor,. BIII Holland of Clinton, looks over e turnip marvel seeder, on display at Cider - fest. Owned by Ken Connolly end family of Mitchell, the machine was made sometime after 1880 and was purchased at the Gordon Aiken auction sale. (Photo by White) 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. .'HE HURON •• ROSITvn .sou i vA=n 0, WO* -* A3 GRA DE 13 GRADUATES—Honored at Com- mencement Friday at SDHS were these grads who have left school.

Ireland of Wroxeter has taken possession of the oatmeal mill, having leased it from A.L. Gibson.

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 Press Trophy emblematic of the best physical training exhibition in Military District No. 1. A.D.

OCT. 10, 1958 Oliver McKay, R.R.2, Klppen, a farmer on the 8th concession of Tuckersmith held the winning ticket in a Canadian Legion draw held Friday night, and won a 1958 Ford Consul. 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 underway for some weeks at Wright's Grocery was bright to an end. Decision to dose the busin swas made when the premises were sold o Seaforth Farmers' Co-operative. Established in Jan. 1942 the business has been continued for the past 17 years by Art Wright.
