Heading out on a road trip in his
car always evokes a little bit of anx-
iety for Glen McLachlan, of
Vanastra.
Using a wheelchair for the past 17
years, McLachlan finds it very diffi-
cult, if not impossible, to pump his
own gas.
With the increasing number of
self -serve gas stations around -
some of them fully -automated with
no attendant to ask for help he's
always worried
he might end up
stranded on a
roadside with an
empty tank of
gas.
But, a new ini-
tiative by Huron
County's accessi-
bility advisory
committee,
designed to aid
the region's

lenged residents
and its seniors, is
offering special
signage to' alert
passing motorists
to the fact full
service is avail-
able to those in
need.
Seaforth's
Archie's UPI sta-
tion is currently
the first and only
gas station in
Huron County to
post signage
advertising its
full service to
motorists.
"We've been
asking for volun-
tary support and
UPI in Seaforth
is the only sta-
tion doing some-
thing on their
own initiative,"
says Jennifer
Cowan, coordina-
tor of the Huron
accessibility
advisory commit-
tee.
McLachlan,
who is a member
of the accessibili-
ty committee,
says the idea of
the signage -
which is so far
unique to Huron
County - is an
attempt to make
the region more
attractive for
seniors and the
physically chal-
lenged.
"We wanted
to make Huron
County more
friendly. There's
nothing worse
than realizing
you only have
one-eighth of a
tank of gas and
not knowing
where you can
fill up," says
McLachlan.
"It's also a big
fear for seniors.
Many can't work
the pumps prop-
erly anymore,"
adds Seaforth
Coun. Bob
Fisher, another
member of the
