Colborne proceeds with new municipal building
Colborne Township Council held
its regular meeting on Jan. 17 at the
Colborne Township Community
Hall.
Council met with Bruce Potter of
B. M. Ross & Associates Ltd. to
review and finalize plans for the
new Township Municipal Building.
Tenders will be called in February
with construction to begin in early
spring. The proposed structure will
cost an estimated $300,000.00. The
Township is receiving $97,559.00
through an Infrastructure Grant to
assistance in offsetting the total
cost.
Payment of the interim levy for
property taxes is due Friday, March
31. The interim levy is based on
one-third of the total 1994 taxes.
Council adopted the road
superintendent's year end financial
submission with the total amount of
expenditures $390,369.94 of which
$363,816 is subsidizable by the
Ministry of Transportation.
The correspondence from the
Town of Goderich concerning the
Fire agreement and the possibility
of purchasing a new tanker was
reviewed. The townships of
Goderich and Colborne have been
advised that if it is their desire to
have a replacement tanker with
increased water capacity purchased,
the difference in the cost price of a
single axle truck with 1,500 gallon
steel tank and a tandem axle truck
with 2,600 gallon aluminum tank
must be paid by the townships. A
resolution authorizing the purchase
of the increased capacity tanker and
approving payment of their fair
share to a maximum amount of
$30,000 was passed.
Council also advised that they
wished to continue negotiations in
regard to the Fire Agreement with
the Town of Goderich.

$100 to the Ontario Building
Officials Association for 1995
membership dues was authorized.

stall streetlights at the intersection
of Highway 21 and Huron County
Road 37 passed. The formal request
will be presented to Paul Klopp,
MPP.

dence from the Committee to
commemorate the Liberation of the
Netherlands by Canadian Forces,
concerning the invitation to
Princess Margriet and Pieter van
Vollenhoven to attend the
dedication ceremonies in May in
the Town of Goderich.

CHuMS bus will serve Blyth, Brussels residents
Eligible residents living in the
Blyth and Brussels area who are
registered with the North Huron
Special Transit Corporation
(WHEELS AWAY) in Wingham
will be eligible to use the bus
service which the Central Huron
Mobility Service Inc. (CHuMS) is
starting up in central Huron. People
will be able to use the CHuMS
mobility bus to get to Clinton and
Seaforth thanks to a recipro,: 1
agreement between WHEN. T.''
AWAY and CHuMS.
"Fundraising for the CHuMS bus
is in full swing," reports Bev
Brown, fundraising chairperson.
"Only $4500 more to be raised and
Unemployment among students
continues to be a serious problem
in this province as the jobless rate
of those aged 15 to 24 jumped to
16.5 per cent in October from 15.8
per cent in September of 1994.
Graduates are also struggling as the
youth unemployment rate for those
'with a university degree has risen
to 9.4 per cent in 1994 from 6.4 per
cent in 1990.
Ontario's youth is still battered by
the recession, as adult employment
rose almost half a million from two
years ago and is about five per cent
above its 1989 peak. "It's discour-
aging to find that there has been no
improvement in the youth
unemployment rate during 1994,"
said Kevin Makra, president of the
Student Employment Network.
In fact, Ontario's jobless rate is
falling largely due to the number of
young people who have simply
dropped out of the labour force
over the past year. The most recent
drop in the province's unemploy-
ment rate is being attributed to the
37,000 men and women under 25,
who have decided to stop looking
A Brussels area man charged
with impaired driving following an
accident in Grey Twp last October
had his day in court on Wednesday
in Wingham.
Crown Attorney Robert Morris
said that Warren G. Hayes, 46, of
RR5, Brussels was travelling west
on Conc. 13/14 in Grey Twp at
2:30 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20
when he drifted to the right of the
road, struck a bridge, then travelled
back across the road where he
struck a hydro pole.
When Const. Alexander arrived
at the scene he noticed Mr. Hayes
was showing visible signs of
impairment. After Mr. Hayes was
the Central Huron Mobility Service
Inc. can place the order for a
mobility bus."
"Everyone has been wonderfully
supportive. Almost every service
club from Dublin to Auburn has
made a substantial donation
towards the bus. Several private
citizens have also sent
contributions. Now the businesses
are getting involved and have
pushed the fundraising account to
over $35,400 this past week."
The CHuMS board of directors
hopes to raise $40,000 by Feb. 1 so
that the mobility bus can be
ordered. Delivery can take as long
as 10 to 18 weeks.
for work. Competition is so intense
that students are losing entry-level
jobs to adults with years of
experience and skills.
the Student Employment Net
work has been dedicated to
responding to the needs of discour-
aged youth looking for jobs.
"Although more youths are staying
in school to secure valuable jobs
upon graduation, this extra
education does not lead to a good
job if the jobs cannot be found.
Higher education will no longer
guarantee a place in today's job
market. Companies are becoming
increasingly interested in the
experience and specific skills that a
student can bring to the job - not
just education alone," states Makra.
This month the Student Employ-
ment Network released The 1995
Ontario Student Employment
Guide: A Job Seekers Guide to
Ontario's Top Employers.
Published and distributed by the
Student Employment Network, it
gives students essential information
to understanding companies and
establishing full time, part time or
taken to the hospital Const.
Alexander received permission
from the attending physician for a
breath sample to be conducted.
The readings were 100 mg in 100
ml of blood.
Mr. Morris said there were previ-
ous convictions, all prior to 1990.
Duty Counsel Alan Mill told the
court that Ontario Hydro was
requesting that Mr. Hayes pay
$1,000 to replace the damaged
hydro pole.
Taking into account the accused's
record and the fact that there had
been an accident Judge Hunter
fined him $1,000 in addition to the
12 month license suspension.
Because CHuMS is a non-profit,
charitable organization, similar to
the hospital, Red Cross or the
Cancer Society, donations are
eligible for income tax receipts.
"We hope this will encourage more
individual persons to make a
contribution towards the bus. When
people see the bus driving up and
down their streets picking up
friends and neighbours, they will be
glad they were a part of the effort
to get it started," Ms Brown said.
"If everyone could help out, even a
little bit, it won't take long to reach
our goal."
Donations to date have come

summer employment. With over
370 pages of information, it helps
bridge the communication gap
between what employers look for
in a potential candidate and what
students expect from the job
market. The information includes
company profiles with academic
qualifications required by each
employer, and goes a step beyond
to include specific personal skills
they desire in an employee. The
guide gives students the extra edge
necessary in today's competitive
job market.
The Student Employment
Network is an organization
committed to providing students
with a practical, on-going source of
employment information. The firm
was created by Kevin E. Makra,
and recent graduate of the Univer-
sity of Toronto. The company
works closely with university and
college career centres addressing
the employment needs of youth.
The 1995 Ontario Student
Employment Guide is now avail-
able in college and university
bookstores or by calling 1-800-401-
4059.
Among 20-year-olds 22 per
cent of men were dropouts com-
pared to 14 per cent of women.
