The town had asked for payment of $8,131.36, arguing that the county planning department had made er- rors in the Hay application which Ex- eter had successfully pointed out to the OMB. Mlckle said the meeting was to in- clude the county warden, chairman of the planning committee, the planning director and the town's mayor and reeve. He complained. that the county shouldn't dictate who Exeter has representing them at such a meeting and this led to a lengthy discussion on the situation. Councillor Ben Hoogenboom sug- gested that independent planner Jean Monteith should perhaps be involved and he also wondered if the town should get a legal opinion on whether they should have legal advice at the meeting. Shaw questioned the expense of having lawyers or planners involved on Exeter's behalf at the meeting and it was finally decided that the Mayor, Reeve and Clerk should represent Exeter. It was also indicated that they would like the meeting held in Exeter. Also approved on the reeommenda- tion from the excutive committee was an extension to February 13 for the deadline for receiving proposals for banking services from local financial institutions. The request for an exten- sion had been made by Brian Illman of the Bank of Nova Scotia. It was also agreed to hire two students under the Involvement in Municipal Administration program this summer. Seventy-five percent of wages and benefits for each are paid by the ministry to a maximum of $135 Well aware Agriculture minister Jack Riddell assured Exeter council this week that his ministry has been well aware of the urgency surrounding turnip mosaic virus "and that all possible avenues are being explored for solu- tions to this widespread problem". The Huron -Middlesex MPP was responding to a concern expressed by council after they were informed recently by ,an area turnip grower that the industry in this area could be seriously jeopardized by the virus. Prior to receiving council's letter of concern, Riddell had established a special task force to work on strategy to reduce losses from the virus for the 1986 crop year. While noting that there is concern the disease may be linked to the in - for 18 weeks. If the criteria of the program can be met, one of the students would be assigned to the building inspector's office and the other to the municipal office to assist with office load and to replace regular staff during holidays. The executive will look into the possibility of getting a computer studies student for the latter position so that person could assitt with the computer study being conducted by 'the town. of urgency creased production of winter rapeseed, he explained that the virus has been present in Ontario for many years and was not introduced by the production of rapeseed. He said more research is needed to determine controls and whether the disease can be directly linked to the winter rapeseed crop. While a possi- ble link has been found there are ex- ceptions where the virus was present in the rutabaga crop with no winter rapeseed known within 10 miles of the field. •An action committee is now looking at rutabaga and winter rapeseed breeding programs with the hopes of incorporating resistance to the virus which substantially reduces turnip production. Times -Advocate, .February 3, 1986 Pc199 3 Teens start assessment of Huron teens' needs While today' teens may not be wearing poodle skirts or bell bottoms or sporting duck tails or ironed hair, their needs and desires are similar to previous generations. A place to hang out where you're not considered a mob, privacy con- cerning health spatters and opening schools gymnasiums so they could be used as a sports facility are some of the needs expressed by a group of teenagers today. They aren't so dif- ferent from the needs of teenagers In the 50s, 608 and 708. And a group of teenagers, backed by the Huron County community ser- vices council, are out to find exactly what the youth of the county want. Calling itself the Youth Needs Assessment Committee, four teenagers, Kim Gibsom of Wingham, Lydia Erickson of Bayfield, Jeff Wat- son of RR 4 Seaforth, and Cheryl Smith of Holyrod have volunteered to discover the wants of 11 to 24 year- olds In Huron. But they won't be alone. Twenty- one students from the five high schools in Huron will form a central planning committee to conduct the survey. The idea came to fruition on Mon- day, January 27 when Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff presented the committee with a cheque for $10,000. Miss Smith and Miss Gibson accepted the cheque on behalf of the committee. The 810,000 from the federal minister of state, represents about two-thirds of the group's estimated budget of 815,000 for the 16 -week pro- ject. The community service -council is giving the group $750 and $1,000 ...VALENTINE CI41001ATE HEARTS .. BOXED CHOCOLATES —CANDY HEART TRAYS ...VALENTINE TINS 6 MUGS a.nythirr your sivet desires!

Any shortfall is expected to be picked up in fundraising activities. The costs for the group have been broken down with $2,500 estimated for support services such as secretarial work, $2,240 for a part-time co- ordinator's salary and $2,700 for group members travelling expenses and 81,200 each for advertising and the publication of a report. Patti Rean of Goderich is the co- ordinator who will work 20 -hours a week on the project. Also on hand for the presentation were Joan Vanden Broeck of Saltford and Paul Carroll of Seaforth, member of the community services council. Jean Schoebl of Belgrave and Judy McMichael of Dungannon, other members of the council, were unable W attend. Carroll, repnseoting the Huron County board of education on the council, said the adults act only as ad- visors to the youth on the committee. They, the youth, came up witb the idea of compiling the information on the needs of the students. And they're going to find out those needs by talking to the yout in Huron, at public hearings, interviews with service agencies, spot surveys in malls and arcades, radio talk shows and community cable -TV programs produced by the youth group. Once the material is gathered, the central planning committee will analyse the information and present a report as well as making recommendations.
