Photos by Denny Scott Connor Dawson of C's Cycles (left) and Sam Gregg -Wallace of Lake Huron Repair and Renovation saw a need for their businesses in town, and have gone to work for themselves as part of a summer work program. Summer businesses opened by students Denny Scott signal -star staff Bicycles and buildings are get- ting facelifts this summer thanks to two new student businesses. Connor Dawson and Sam Gregg -Wallace broke the inold for traditional summer job hunting, and made the opportunities come to them. Dawson, who will be return- ing to St. Annes for his last year of high school come September, and Gregg -Wallace, a second -year Political Science student at Mt. Al- lison University, are taking part in the Summer Works program, which provides students with funds to start their own summer business. Gregg -Wallace has decided to tackle something a little outside his training, and has opened his own construction business; Lake Huron Repair and Renovation. "I couldn't find fulfilling summer work," he said. "And I've worked for my father [a blacksmith], oth- er companies... I was an opera- tion manager at the YMCA Camp Queen Elizabeth, which involved a lot of carpentry... So I decided to try it out." With several jobs already lined up, Gregg -Wallace is working on his own, but has teamed up with other carpenters, picking up skills as he goes. Using his start-up cash, he bought the tools necessary to do his job and is already gutting, re- building, and repairing anything he can, with a work motto of "I'll never turn down a job." Gregg -Wallace is open for new customers, and can be reached at 519-524-9372, or through e-mail at sjgreggwallace @ mta.ca.

"I'm looking at servicing, build- ing and selling higher end [bicy- cles]," he said. "But I'll work on pretty much anything." . While there are plenty of places to buy a base model bike, the last place in Goderich to build a really high end bike, Carpenter's Bikes, closed some time ago, he said. "People who are looking at high- er end bikes, like $2,000 to $3,000 have to travel to Kincardine, Lon- don or Stratford," Dawson said. Dawson intends to be a one-stop bike shop, doing everything from repairing flat tires to building en- tire bikes. "I'm able to order in pretty much anything anyone needs, and have an average one day iiurn around, as long as I have the parts," he said. "I can order anything in really, and I have the tools to repair or build any part of a bike," Dawson said. Dawson will take walk-ins, or can be reached at 226-222-0897 or through e-mail at cscycles @ gmail. com Allison Lobb, of the Huron Busi- ness Development Corporation, who administers and monitors the program, said that while the fund- ing is available, it definitely isn't a hand-out. "[Participants] have to make sure their business [is] viable," she said. "[They] go through a se- ries of training sessions, and work with a mentor in their first couple weeks." Participants launch their busi- ness with a $1,500 grant, and are paid wages at the end of the sum- mer for their labour, provided they have maintained their business. Lobb isn't worried about Goder- ich's two participants though. "[Gregg -Wallace and Dawson] were both prepared to go ahead with their businesses, whether or not they got the grant," she said. "They knew their business... they were really sincere about it, thought it out, and they are going to snake it work."
