Transit service faces hurdles
Application forms are currently
being sent out to some of the pros-
pective users of a mobility bus
service being planned for Huron
County.
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.

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.
