These two along with council form the whole cominit- tee. The first meeting will be held April 25. At the April 4 meeting of eotmcil, A. J. Sherwood attended expressing his opinion that he should have been chosen as one representative. In addition he requested that the road superintendent improve parking at the Senior Citizens' Centre in the village by applying more gravel and levelling the area. Council voted in favour of a $100 grant to the Clinton Public Hospital for the year 1989. Council had been approached regarding amalgamation of the Lucknow Arena Board and the Joint Recreation Commit- tee. West Wawanosh is represented on these two committees. Council agreed that they had no objection to the amalgama- tion, provided that no change is made in the percentages now being paid for the maintenance and operation of the arena. Building Permits Building permits were issued to Freddie Valdez, for a portable office at John J. Shelter Lumber and to Leila Shetler, for a mobile home installation. A tile drain loan was approved to Doug and Lynn Miller for drainage on the ep sf OUNC1L half of the south hall of lot 19, concession 13. Remuneration The contract/agreement between the township and Robert McAllister, the supervisor at the landfill site will be amended to indicate an -increase in remuneration, from $8.00 to $8.50 per hour, effective January 1,1989. Council voted in favour of providing Pam Gervais, Girl Guide leader of Blyth, with 16 township pins, for the Guides to take with them on their guiding trip to Mexico in July. Gravel Tenders The tender of Bannerman Contracting Limited, ICincardine has been accepted, at $2.10 per ton for approximately 20,000 tons; $2.78 per cubic yard for approx- imately 10,000 cubic yards and $1.60 for stockpiling. Council accepted Lloyd Jacklin's offer for acquisition of the 1978 Ford 900 and plow equipment. In exchange, Mr. Jacklin will stockpile, during the off-season, 4500 cubic yards of crushed gravel. Council meets next on May 2. Meeting to discuss plan for drainage Dungannon residents will heardetails of an engineer's drainage proposal which could solve at least some of the flooding problems in the hamlet But Bob Edmunds, a spokesman for a local citizens group, expects the "pat- chwork" proposals to be more costly than expected and be of little lasting benefit for property owners. Solving the surface drainage problem could cost as much aS $3204000 or as little as $140,000, according to the study, Ed- munds said. "Even at $320,000, it's not really going to change anything," he said. Edmunds also said he expects full details at the meeting tomorrow in Dungannon (senior citizens centre, 8 p.m.), but the proposals appear to also limit further development in the flood - prone area. "I don't think the reaction is going to be too good," he said. Under the terms of the drainage act, owners of about 60 affected properties must share the cost, although West Wawanosh Township Council has said it would pay a share for municipal proper- ty as well as apply for whatever provin- cial grants may be appropriate. At tomorrow night's meeting, the engineering proposal ii,M1 be explained and, underthe drainage act, residents will likely be kilted to decide which, if any, they want to implement. If the project does not proceed, residents who signed the petition which initiated the study inust still pay the preliminary engineering fees. A similar, but less -extensive study was undertaken in 1972, but rejected by residents at a public meeting. Co-op education, one of the better things school offers by Michael Campbell What do I say when someone asks me about Co-op? I say it is one of the better things a school can offer. The co.operative education program at F.E. Madill is very good. It offers a wide range of choices. The main idea of the class is to learn more about a specific career that you are interested in . All the students get job experience, independence and rooponSibilities. I work at Royal, Homes. I have done a variety Of jobs. I started out by cutting jambs for doors, then moved to installing windows on the Ihie, -then to bypass and pocket door •construction. Currently I am helping with roofing. The guys at the plant are very helpful. Safety is impottant in any job you do, but at Royal Homes it is one of the rnostimpor- , tant parts of the job. There are safety meetings that teach *11 0! the employees about the dangers on the job. I learn something new every day. The work is very interesting and / try to find out as much as Lcan, about it. At Royal Homes they use first class materials and 'we. can take pride in our top quality workmanship 011 a finished bottle. Practice is one of the ways that I get better at my job. After doinga specific job for a while you geta little faster each time you do it. 1 have.;used many types of tools and machines at Itoyal,ficitneit.
