Youth Involvement is young vol- unteers spending leisure time with people who have a disability or challenging need. It was founded in 1968 by a group of siblings of peo- ple who had been labelled with a disability. These people believed that their brothers or sisters should also take part in community activi- ties, such as sports, dances and oth- er social events. Youth Involvement has since evolved to an association of young people, . ages 12 to 24, who are classmates, neighbors, friends and family member of people who have disabilities. The goals of Youth Involvement are to create public awareness of people and their abilities and to promote op- portunities for recreation and func- tion as friends and advocates of their peers. The Wingham and District Com- munity Living Association is very interested in assisting to faciliate a Youth Involvement Group. If any youth are interested, please contact Jennifer Dierolf at 357-3562. w Township submits names for roads under 911 plan Turnberry council has submitted a list of proposed names for its con- cessions and sideroads for 911 cov- erage. The list was approved at a meet- ing of council held earlier .,this month and will be submitted,to the county for review. Late this summer, a committee of Councillors Paul Elgie and Bill Pur - don, as well as Road Superinten- dent Ross Nicholson was struck in Turnberry to arrive at names for the lines and sideroads. Public input was solicited, but none was forth- coming. So the committee sat down and arrived at names which reflect the location of the roads, for instance, boundary lines, or hold some histor- ical signficance to Turnberry Town- ship. The names arrived upon for the, lines are: Black Line, Bok Line, Gibbons Line, Gilmour Line, Hef- fer Line, Holmes Line, Kieffer Line, Lewis Line, McLean Line, Powell Line, Ramsay Line, Schies- tel and Versteeg Line. Under the proposal, the names for the concession roads are as fol- lows: B Line Road, C Line Road, Drain project to begin November 1 By JIM BROWN' The Advance&Times Work on the Wilbee Drain pro- ject in Morris Township will get under way on Nov. 1. Morris Township council passed a by-law last Tuesday evening to award the tender and have the pro- ject completed. The by-law will have lands and roads drained by a drainage works to provide both un- derdrainage and surface water out- let, at the point where the line be- tween Lots 25 and 25 crosses Concession Road 9-10. A.G. Hayter Contracting of RR 3 Parkhill will do the work for just $7,276. Only two tenders were re- ceived for the project. Ron Wil- liams Drainage of RR 1 Listowel also submitted a tender for the pro- ject. The engineer's estimated cost of the project was $8,453. Completion date for the project is scheduled for Nov. 30. The total cost of constructing drainage works improvement was $14,500. Glennanan Road,, Goufs Road, Hu- ron -Bruce Boundary Road, Maple Road, Morris-Turnberry Road, North Street, Orange Hill Road, Sa- lem Road, Turnberry-Culross Boun- dary Road, Turnberry-Howick Boundary Road and Turnberry- Kinloss Boundary Road. Carol Learning, county project coordinator for 911, said that as- signing names to the roads is among the first steps in putting the system in place. The names submit- ted by the 16 Huron County town- ships will be reviewed at a meeting next month with those names "firmed up" by the committee. The next step is signing every in- tersection in every township with the new names. Later, municipal ad- dresses will be assigned to every built -upon property in the county, says Leaming, perhaps with grid - number signs similar to those found in Lambton and Middlesex counties. Properties will be signed uniformly across the county, adds Leaming. The entire process is very time- consuming, she notes. The earliest 911 coverage in Huron County could be in place is early 1997.

A number of other drains were also discussed during the council meeting. The Murray Drain between Lots 25 and 28 on Concession 10 will be cleaned out with Emerson Mitchell being assessed the cost of the work. A municipal drain on Lots 16-17 of Concession 10 will also be cleaned up with land owner Cana- dian Agra picking up the cost. The tenant on land owned by Ca- nadian Agra has put up a barbed- wire fence to keep his livestock out of the Nichol Drain which runs through the property. The township has sent a letter to the property owner requesting something be done to keep the live- stock out the drain. They suggested that they go to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) and apply for a CURB (Clean Up Rural Beaches) grant, which would pay up to 50 per cent of the cost of installing a fence. Council felt that even though the fence was not up to the standards of the engineer, they felt that as long as it kept the livestock out of the drain it was alright. Health Unit offering area rabies clinics CLINTON — The Public Health In- spection Department of the Huron County Health Unit, in co- operation with the veterinarians in Huron County, are hosting a low cost Anti -Rabies Vaccination Clin- ic on September 27 and 30. The cost for vaccinating your dog or cat for rabies will be $10, in- cluding GST. Please check for the advertisement in this newspaper for the time that the low cost clinic will be held in your area. The clinics will be held over the two days for your convenience to ensure you get your pet vaccinated. For more in- formation, you may call the health Unit at 1-800-265-5184, or your lo- cal vet. Pet owners are reminded that it is the law that owners of dogs and cats three months of age or over, are required to be immu- nized against rabies. In addition to organizing these special clinics annual, the health unit also provides human diploid cell vaccine (through family physi- cians) for persons who have had di- rect contact with an animal that de- velops rabies. One way to avoid having to take the series of rabies vaccination shots is not to handle any animals suspected of having ra- bies, and make sure that all cats (in- cluding those in the barn) and dogs are vaccinated annually against ra- bies. The anti -rabies shots for cats and dogs in Huron County is mandatory under the Ontario Health Protection Coune po.:I.oal NEOWAYKSEPIEMBER 2 1995 to name change See decision as expensive manoeuvre for Good Roads Assc. Morris Township council is op- posed to the Ontario Good Roads Association changing its name to the Ontario Municipal Transporta- tion Association. Deputy reeve Keith Johnston and councillor Kevin Pletch both said they were not in favor of the naine change. Councillor John Duskocy said the association should just leave it the way it is now, because it would cost money to change everything. Coun. Pletch agreed saying it would cost money to change all the letterhead to the association's new name. and Promotion Act_ When a dog or cat is involved in a biting incident, the animal must be quarantined for 10 days to determine if it has been exposed to the rabies virus by ob- serving' if it develops symptoms and dies. If the dog or cat's anti- rabies vaccination is current, the odds are it will be healthy at the end of 10 days. Proof of vaccina- tion must be shown to the public health inspector who is investigat- ing the biting incident and has qua- rantined the dog or cat. Failure to provide proof may result in a charge being laid and a fine of up to $5,000 for the pet owner. Vaccinating your dog and/or cat against rabies costs much less than requiring rabies vaccine for a loved one. So please, take, advantage of the anti -rabies clinic near you.

Township roads superintendent, Lloyd Michie, said he would like to have the tenders for snowplow- ing in the south end of the town- ship received by the Oct. 17 meet- ing of council. Councillor Kevin Pletch asked whether the tender would be for a snowplow or a grader. Michie stated that a grader would be required because of the potential of ice forming on the roads. He added that the township supplies the blades. The contract for the snowplow- ing would commence Nov. 15.
