The application forms will be sent out to respondents to a survey con- ducted by the DIAMONDS' group in 1992. The Central Huron Mobility Ser- vice (CHuMS) steering committee is proposing a service for Seaforth and Clinton as well as Tuckersmith, Hullett and McKillop townships. The committee is currently talking with these municipal councils about developing the transportation sys- tem. Ontario's Ministry of Trans- portation would fund 50 per cent of the cost of an accessible vehicle and 50 per cent of operating costs, according to organizers. The balance of funds would come from user fees and community donations. "Every attempt is being made to avoid using municipal tax dollars for this service," said a CHuMS press release. The transportation service may face a bumpy ride from some of the councils. While Seaforth has agreed to host the service Tuckersmith Council has stated explicitly it doesn't want to be liable for any costs. "Is it a viable service? Is it a service that is required?" were two questions asked by Bill Carnochan, Reeve of Tuckersmith Township, at the March 15 meeting of council. The proposed service has also met with some resistance at Hullett and McKillop Township Councils. Mike Regier, of Seaforth, sits on. the CHUMS committee. "Now is the time for the com- munity and potential users of this service to come forward and sup- port the steering committee," said Regier. The service has been promoted as a means to give more independence to people who are physically -chal- lenged. Its importance has been emphasized for this area, which has a large percentage of older citizens. Proponents have also supported its benefits to the general health of Nursing home residents enjoy Fun and Fitness The residents at Queensway Nurs- ing Home started the week off with St. Patrick's theme for Fun and Fitness. The Ladies' Auxiliary from the Hensall Legion hosted Monday bingo. Tuesday afternoon, Pastor Henry Van Essen, from the Bethel Reformed Church in Exeter, per- formed an inspiring church service. Residents wore green and celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a party. Mr. Bert Box from Clinton entertained the residents by playing his mouth organ. Queensway people using the service. "Persons who are homebound due to lack of transportation can find the winters a depressing time," said Ron Airdrie, co-chair of the DIA- MONDS. If you could benefit from a mobility bus service in the Seaforth-Clinton area application forms are available by calling Bev Brown at 482-5666 or 1-800-267- 0535. The mobility bus would transport users to social and sports events, meetings, church and theatre. Fees are yet to be determined but may range from 52 to $4 if the service is created. Similar services are already active in Mitchell and St. Marys and could also be introduced in Huron, said Don Forrest, co-chair of DIA- MONDS. The CHuMS steering committee will feature a low -floor accessible vehicle on display at the Seaforth Home and Garden Show on April 6th and 7th at the Seaforth Fair- grounds.
