Colborne Council
Drainage ditch c
Bilis and accounts totall-
ing $48,088.41 were presented
and approved for payment
when Colborne Township
Council met for their regular
meeting on September 1.
The road superintendent,
Ron Durnin, reported that
all areas of road
maintenance and con-
struction were progressing
on schedule and that con-
crete for the reconstructed
wingwall at the Benmiller
pond had been poured on
August 31.
The continuing deteriora-
tion of the Lamb drainage
ditch on the north part of
Block E is of major concern.
Durain reported that if
remedial work is not under-
taken very soon, major
damage to the concrete
culvert on the township road
will occur. In an effort to
speed up the required
authorizations and pro-
cedures normally required
to carry out work on a
municipal drain, the
township council is attemp-
ting to have "emergency
status" declared by the
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food so that work can be
undertaken immediately.
The clerk reported that the
licensing and tagging off dogs
has been completed. The
number off dogs tagged this
year is down from 1980 and
most of the reduction is at-
tributed to reduced numbers
of dogs in Meneset and
Huron Haven village.
The appointment of E.W.
Shifflett, P. Eng. of Guelph,
as drainage engineer was
approved for a report on the
requested clean -but of a por-
tion of the Borland
municipal drain and for the
supervision of Spoil clean-up"
on the John Alibi municipal
drain.
And still dealing with
municipal drain problems,
council accepted a letter
from Herman Fisher re-
questing repairs to the
DeVries drain in Lot 6, Con-
cession 1 East and appointed
Shifflett to he' engineer for
that project.
Council set 8 p.m., Mon-
day, September 21, as the
date for hearing the
engineer's report on a pro-
posed drainage works to be
known as the Sunset Beach
Road Drain. Copies of the
GODERICH SIGNALISTAR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTI MBER 9, 1981!AG

being circulated to all pro-
perty owners effected.
A requested extension of
the Ontario Municipal
Boards Order of approval of
Restricted Area By -Law 16
for 1979 which had expired
on August 19 has been ap-
proved. By-law 16 for 1979 is
now approved for a tem-
porary period ending August
19, 1982. The by-law affects
an area known as`the Bishop
property located on the west
part of Lot 13, Maitland con-
cession.
The ball season has now. -
come to a close and council
members were unanimous in
their feelings that it was one
of the best in recent years. A
motion was pas recogniz-
ing the excellent job done
during thje season and a vote
of thanks and appreciation
was made to Bert and
Charlene Bean for their ma-
jor participation in organiz-
ing the program.
Future development of
township park land lying
between the Canadian
Foresters property and the
Ivy subdivision at Benmiller
was discussed. Because any
School bus new to many children
A new school year began
this week!
While many parents will
have breathed a sigh of relief
at the onset of another school
year, there are hundreds of
Canadian children who are
experiencing a new feature
of their (school.) life: the
school bus.
Some are the very young,
who are attending school for
the first time. They need to
know basic information such
es: How to get to the bus stop
if it is beyond their
driveway? How to wait for
and board the bus? and,
rules of conduct for riding in
a school bus. It is all a new
experience and most will en-
joy a new-found freedom.
Therefore, most will listen
eagerly.
A different group will be
those who have changed
schools, either by moving to
a new district, •or by achiev-
ing an age level at which a
new school is attended.
Older children require dif-
ferent teaching techniques,
as all teachers know. They
are influenced by peer
pressure, and are less will-
ing to listen. Yet, if they are
not used to school buses,
they must learn the safety
rules and abide by them.
The Canada Safety Council
sponsors "School Bus Safety
Week" each year shortly
after the start of school to en-
courage greater awareness
of school bus safety. The'
responsibilities are great.
School administrators,
teachers, school bus drivers,
parents and all road users
'have ' a collective respon-
sibility for our children.
Most of these groups do a
good job. Parents all too
often neglect their respon-
sibilities, leaving them to
others. Other road users
perhaps exhibit the greatest
unconcern of all.
Just watch the number of
vehiclesthat pass a lights-
flashinschool bus, and see
what the Cahada Safety
Council means! That's why
the theme of this special is
"Wait a Minute!".
