Wheels Away will be operated by the North Huron Special Transit Corporation (NHSTC), a non-profit and registered charitable organiza­ tion. The van is converted with ambulatory access and a wheelchair lift. Drivers have been trained in first aid, CPR, and appropriate methods of handling people with walking, or other, limitations. For those meeting the eligibility criteria, the service will provide transportation-within an approxi­ mate 10 mile radius of Wingham- for anyone who has difficulty boarding or operating regular vehi­ cles. Age is not a factor and the incapacity may be temporary or ongoing. A committee will review the applications and determine an indi­ viduals eligibility. Application forms are available from Wheels Away and the municipal clerk's office. The service can be used for vari­ ous appointments, shopping, travel­ ling to entertainment, club activities, church or for visits to family, hospitals or nursing homes. Bookings will be required at least one week in advance. The tele­ phone number is 357-4074. At pre­ sent an answering machine will receive calls which will be returned by the coordinator. Return calls will generally be answered between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. "Seed money" from the Ministry of Community and Social Services allows a current charge of $2.50 for each one-way trip. Municipal coun­ cils are being approached to assist in covering the costs of the service for their residents, according to Jack Kopas the Chairman of NHSTC. "Without the participa­ tion and agreement of the munici­ pality it will be necessary to charge the basic fare, plus 75 cents per kilometre per one way trip. There­ fore, it is hoped that a modest user fee can be maintained," he said. A new fare schedule will, if nec­ essary, go into effect on or about October 11, for those residing in a municipality not covered by an agreement with the NHSTC. euchre were: high lady, Jean Little; high man, Clarence Bishop, low man, Gord Jacklin; low lady, Rose- Marie Bishop.
