Zurich sign illegal
ZURICH - Council Monday
night confirmed an earlier decision
to refuse a sign application from
Dave Schilbe, because it does not
conform with the villages zoning
bylaw and a new sign law.
Schilbe sells seafood out of his
residence as a home occupation
and a sign for retail sales is not al-
lowed in a residential area. Council
feels the sign was illegal before
their new sign bylaw was passed
on August 13. Home occupancy
signs are allowed on a door, but
not out front.
Councillor Tom Semple com-
mented, " It doesn't matter that he
wanted to put up the sign before
our new law was passed" and Barb
Jeffrey added, " I didn't approve of
the sign in the first place."
At the suggestion of reeve Bob
Fisher, Schilbe who cancelled an
appointment with council Monday
night will be invited to the next
meeting in October. Fisher added,
" If he doesn't show up next time,
action will be taken to have the
sign removed."
More arena help
The recreation, parks and com-
munity centre board will be meet-
ing Thursday night to consider ap-
plications for a permanent part-time
arena assistant.
At a September 4 meeting, arena
manager Jim Ramer voiced con-
cerns over the number of hours he
was working.
Award tender
At a special meeting August 13,
council awarded the tender for the
Haberer municipal drain to Brohn
Developments of Ailsa Craig for
$11,659.91, the lowest of five bids
received.
New lights
Zurich Hydro is being instructed
by council to install new street
lights on East street The present
lighting was determined to be very
poor by council and a recommenda-
tion was made for upgrading.
In other business , council:
Proclaimed October 16 as World
Food day and September 30 to Oc-
tober 5 as Local Government
Week.
Was advised by the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs that the draft
plan of subdivision for the Hater-
leigh development has been extend-
ed to August 3, 1992.
Voted in favour of a suggestion
from Huron county adminstrator
Nigel Bellchamber that would al-
low individuals in the employ of
other municipalities to act on be-
half of the county for by-law en-
forcement.
Bellchamber said the cost would
be tremendous if the county were to
auempt to enforce no parking re-
strictions on cerain areas of county
roads. However, if employees of lo-
cal municipalities were empowered
to do so, the effectiveness of
county road parking by-laws would
be much enhanced.

tourist resort for the youthful set, or
as a more sedate family resort, or
whether the villages best future lies
in becoming a year-round retire-
ment community.
The present reeve of Grand Bend
is Bruce Woodley, who has not yet
announced whether or not he will
be seeking re-election.

A resume detailing an applicant's work history and education is
extremely helpful to an employer who is seeking a person for a
specific job vacancy. Your personal resume should accompany
your written letter of application.

prepared
resume will
help you
get the job
you are
looking for!
Here are some guidelines to follow in preparing your resume:
• Make it clear, concise and easy to read - and no longer than
two pages.
• The resume should be typed on 8 1/2" by 11" white paper with
enough white space to prevent a cluttered look.
• Start with your name, address and phone number.
• Next under a sub -heading "Work History" detail the previous
jobs you've held - in reverse date order - that is, last job first.
• Use a separate paragraph for each position and precede it
with the dates you held that position.
• State the job title, a brief description of the responsibilities -
and the results you achieved.
• The next section of your resume should come under the sub-
heading of "Education". Start with the highest degree obtained
or grade completed, followed by the name of the institution at
which you studied. Follow this with previous education attain-
ments. At the end, list any specific instructional courses you
have attended in conjunction with your work.
• Under the sub -heading "Affiliations", list memberships and/or
offices held in professional or industry associations.
• Under the sub -heading "Personal Interests", list any activities
which you feel will be of interest to the employer - such as vol-
unteer work, etc.
Your letter of application and your resume will be the factors
that make the employer decide whether to short list you for an
interview. So make it as impressive as you can
- but stick to the facts.
