The HOMEtown Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Bert Meerveld, a HOMEtown employee is being promoted to re- place Dillon. Under Dillon's lead- ership, HOMEtown has grown from a small community network with only one employee, into a ma- jor intemet provider for Southwest- ern Ontario. After overcoming many serious difficulties HOME - town now employs 22 people and has a rapidly growing membership base. Dillon, who lives in Seaforth, has brought HOMEtown through diffi- cult times. Just prior to signing on, HOMEtown, was advised that a promised $492,000 grant from the provincial government would not be forthcoming. Dillon's business skills were crucial, as HOMEtown was suddenly thrust into the posi- tion of generating revenue or col- lapsing. As legal counsel for HOMEtown, Dillon was able to guide the network through compli- cated commercial negotiations. HOMEtown is committed to pro- viding affordable access to the In- ternet, without long distance charg- es, across the five counties of Huron, Oxford, Middlesex, Elgin, Perth and the city of London. Dil- lon successfully negotiated an ar- rangement with the Huron County Board of Education for the sharing of equipment and services. That agreement enabled HOMEtown to meet its commitment, even in the most remote areas of Huron County. This creative collaboration also provides a revenue source for the Board of Education. Another commitment of HOME - town is to assist local commenities in making local information availa- ble on the Internet. HOMEtown be- lieves that access to local informa- 1 tion and improved communication locally, via electronic mail, will be important tools in community de- velopment. Under Dillon's leader- ship, HOMEtown has placed more than 50, local home pages on he In- ternet. The recent development of a new "Inforthation Providers' Mod- ule" promises to increase this num- ber significantly, as local organiza- tions can load information and assume responsibility for maintain- ing it themselves. Dillon was re- sponsible for negotiating an ar- rangement with the London firm VILLAGE OF HENSALL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT EXPANSION OF SEWAGE TREATMENT WORKS NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY REPORT The existing Village sewage' treatment facilities are hydraulically over- loaded.

The need of HOMEtown to make a smooth transition as Dillon leaves has not been overlooked. Months ago, Dillon convinced Human Re- sources Development Canada (HRDC) to support HOMEtown. Working through the Woostock Canada Employment Centre (CEC), Bert Meerveld of Embro was brought onto staff. Dillon has worked closely with Meerveld, an- ticipating the day of departure, Several CEDs in the HOMEtown area currently house telecommuni- cations equipment on behalf of HOMEtown. In return, the CEDs, and in some cases their clients, get improved access to valuable Inter- net resources (including HRDC's job bank). The turn -around and recovery by HOMEtown Community Network is an astonishing success story. HOMEtown is a non-profit corpo- ration working with and for the community. HOMEtown, will miss Dillon who could never, it seemed speak in public or at a meeting without quoting HOMEtown's mis- sion statement: To develop and provide universal and affordable access to a compre- hensive communications and infor- mation service across five counties. HOMEtown's success in fulfill- ing this mission is due, in large part, to the efforts of Larry Dillon. Dillon says he found the task excit- ing and challenging. He is looking forward to an opportunity to help another organization or business achieve a similar turn -around. [4, YILSI 11 ming "Make Your Business 't11111 1h . -90t.••. Aub.l. Catrdler.A1!
