( Photo by Cath Wooden) 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 uses concern report are in the process of 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!".
