Morris discusses pumper purchase
The purchase of a new pumper
for the Wingham Fire Department
was discussed at the Morris Town
ship Council meeting on April 18,
1989. Representatives to the Wing
ham Fire Board, Wayne Riley and
Bert Elliott informed Council that
the purchase of the chassis and cab
will proceed this year.
Council was advised that the
Bluevale Cemetery, which was
previously the Tumberry-Morris
Cemetery is under the authority of
Turnberry Township rather than
church authority. The only person
on the Cemetery Board is Jack
Fischer and Council was advised
that if they wanted to set up a joint
board they should contact Tum
berry Township. Council decided
they were not interested.
There were no objections to the
severance application of Herbert
and Faye Oakes of Lot 17, Conces
sion 7, however, Council felt that
the severed parcel should be under
the same ownership as the resi
dence on the lot.
There was a motion that Council
express no objections to the drain
age petitions for repairs on the
Russell Drain and the Blyth Creek
Drain. Council also agreed to the
applications for tile drainage loans
for Arma Farms Limited of Lot 11
North half of Concession 8 and
Wayne Fear of North half of Lot 3,
Concession 5, subject to the availa
bility of funds.
All commercial building blue
prints must be approved by the
Fire Chief before a permit can be
issued.
Reeve Doug Fraser informed
Council that he had approached
someone concerning the position of
animal control officer however that
person had not contacted him
again. Therefore, Council agreed to
advertise for an Animal Control
Officer. Applications will be due on
May 2, 1989.
Three tenders were submitted to
Council for pit run B gravel. The
tender from Lloyd Jacklin Con
struction of RR 1, Listowel was
accepted for the supply, hauling
and spreading of 25,000 cubic
yards of gravel to be delivered to
the east end of Concession Road
7-8 and sideroad 10-11 of Conces
sion 9 at the price of $2.12 for
15,000 cubic yards for Concession
7-8 and $2.48 for 10,000 cubic yards
for Concession 9. Total price is
$56,600.
The property located at Lot 15
Concession 6 will be advertised for
sale in the Kitchener and local
papers. Tenders will be due by
May 16 and the property will be
sold to the highest bidder with the
Township holding a reasonable
reserve bid. The property will be
tendered with the old shed remov
ed.
The trees ordered from the
Maitland Valley Conservation Au
thority were delivered on Wednes
day, April 19.
Co-op program helps students
F. E. Madill Secondary School
student, Shelley Bray of RR 1,
Ethel is one of the fortunate group
of youngsters involved in the Co-op
program at the high school. As
Shelley points out, there are so
many things to look for in choosing
future employment that you don’t
really know what to expect until
you experience it and that is where
the program is most beneficial.
Shelley was interested in the
travel business but was somewhat
uncertain about whether she would
enjoy it in practice. However, since
her involvement in the Co-op
program at the school she is certain
that that is the career she would
like to pursue.
Senior students are given the
opportunity in the Co-op program
to work and attend school at the
same time. If students are unable
to work at the job they want they
may select one that is related.
Shelley was unable to find em
ployment with a travel agency, so
decided to do reception work. For
more than three months she work
ed for Investors Syndicate in Wing
ham answering the phone and
working on the computer. Shelley
said that before her experience
with Investors Syndicate, phoning
people or answering the phone was
something she found awkward but
is now comfortable with. This is
necessary as communication is an
essential part of the travel busi
ness, she said.
Recently Shelley has begun
working in the school library,
which, she maintains is also related
to the occupation she hopes to
puruse.
Shelley says, “Co-op is probably
one of the most beneficial pro
grams I’ve ever been in.’’ She
recommends it to any students who
are considering enrollment in the
program. “It can really put your
future in prospective,” she said.
