COMMITTEE REPS Reeve Steffler was on the University applications coming due This time of year always causes anxiety in the lives of graduating students. October and November marks the deadline date for university and college applications. Students are faced with the pressures of choosing their future. In two short months students must make important decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. At the ages of eighteen and ninetcen,many students are not prepared to make these decisions. Universities and colleges are aware of this problem and have produced a program that helps students to make informed choices. Graduating students take many interest questionnaires that arc designed to give students direction and information. Post secondary school also provides school drop -ins when a spokesperson informs the student of available programs. Videos, pamphlets and portfolios arc made available to provide information as well. It is a challenging time for graduating students but with the help and support of parents, teachers, guidance counsellors and university information sessions students should find this important time of decision making made easier.

Steffler lives on West William Street and is manager of transportation for the Huron -Perth Catholic District School Board. She is originally from the Brussels area, later moved out of, Huron, but the Steffler's returned to the county when ,they moved to walton in '1969. They came to Seaforth in 1988. There is only one other woman representing the 26 municipalities oh Huron County's current council. "That's good news, Steffler says. "Sometimes being a woman gives you a different perspective on issues." Clinton's veteran Reeve Carol Mitchell is the other woman on county council. Restructuring is one of the more prominent issues, facing the county and member municipalities recently. "I think it's. a good idea," Steffler said Thursday afternoon. "The sooner we get down to brass tacks the better." , Heritage club views Sills' collection On Oct. 19 the 4-11 "Heritage Club" met at Sills Hardware in Seaforth at 7 p.m. to view the heritage collection on the third floor. Jim Sills guided us through the tour. He pointed out writing on the walls, while going up the stairs, of different individuals from recent to many years ago. Once we were on third floor, Jim told us that the heritage items have hecn collected over the past number of years starting in 1955. because space was available here. Some items that were seen were a 100 -year-old cradle carved from logs. pictures from many past years ago of people in this arca and a hand washing machine. Some smaller antiques included lamps, irons, hand water pump, telephone book of 1906 which included some of the 4-H students' grandparents' names, fire alarm stations and torches that were used as early flashlights.
