good."
MacDonald said training staff is
a very important factor for all busi-
ness, not just larger operations like
Wescast Industries.
"As well, businesses must recog-
nize community needs." He said
the commitment from the business
sector regarding the community
trail and refurbishing of the old
train bridge is an excellent local ex-
ample. "The need for awareness of
the environment, the need for peo-
ple's recreation, community en-
hancement...people are interested in
that and are looking for a lot more
from their communities. Business
has a responsibility to say 'If we
are going to have a satisfied work-
force in an area like Wingham'
then they have a responsibility to
encourage in every way possible."
Business also has a responsibili-
ty, he said, was also to encourage
community building: recreation
centres, bridges, etc.
From a community perspective,
residents must shop locally when-
ever possible. MacDo Id said
business and communiytogether
must promote that actively real-
ize the long term rewards.
The community must also learn
to support an environment of life-
long learning. The explosion of
adult night school coursesis one of
the best things to occur in commu-
nities across Ontario. MacDonald
said a major key to survival is to
raise the level of knowledge in the
workforce.
''"People have to realize the long
term ramifications of shopping
elsewhere. If we support only big
malls and thoughtlessly go else-
where to shop, it's only natural pro-
gression that in our communities
the small stores won't be able to
make a living."
Narrow margin on separation vote
Across this country Monday
night, Canadians were breathing a
collective sigh of relief -- the 'No'
side had prevailed by a narrow 50.6
per cent margin in the Quebec refe-
rendum:
The country remains intact, but it
is an uneasy peace. The majority of
French Quebecers, 60 per cent, vot-
ed in favor of sovereignty. Their
concerns now are pushed to the
forefront of the national debate, but
at the very least, Monday's `No'
win has bought some valuable time
for the country and Prime Minister
Jean Chretien.
At the start of the campaign, it
appeared the 'Yes' side was headed
for defeat. That was before the
charismatic Lucien Bouchard, lead-
er of the Bloc Quebecois and feder-
al opposition leader, took the reins
for the 'Yes' cause from Quebec
Premier Jacques Parizeau of the
Parti Quebecois.
Bouchard made a convincing ap-
peal to Quebecers, assuring them
that the rest of Canada would be
forced to negotiate a mutually -
favorable "deal" following a 'yes'
vote. When the polls indicated that
his message was hitting a nerve, the
federalists started to panic.
The last week of the referendum
campaign involved a frantic scram-
ble to. save a country at the brink.
The prime minister cancelled all
previous appearances and concen-
trated solely on turning the cam-
paign around. He appeared on na-
tional television last Wednesday
night with a fervent appeal to Que-
becers -- a 'yes' vote means Cana-
da is no more.
Across the country, the debate
aroused feelings of patriotism and
pride that seldom are expressed in
this country. Many people found
themselves surprised by the debt of
their emotion with Canadians able
to talk of^little else during the last
week of the campaign.
Some people, like Jim Arm-
strong of RR 3, Brussels, did more
than talk about it. Right across the
country, people boarded planes and
buses heading for a massive unity
rally in Montreal last Friday. It is
estimated that as many as 150,000
jammed into a Montreal square to
make an appeal to Quebecers: vote
`no' and change is possible.
Arguably, that rally may have
been the turning point in a cam-
paign that was all but lost. When
the people of Canada went over the
heads of the politicians for an all-
out appeal to Quebecers, their sin-
cerity was not doubted and
breathed new life into the federalist
cause.
Armstrong says attending the ral-
ly was an emotional experience. A
high school teacher at Mitchell, he
had a previously -scheduled "Rae
Day" which fell last Friday. •
He says he enjoys travelling and
the all-night bus ride didn't really
bother him. But more than that, Jim
Armstrong says he always has tried
to impress upon his students a re-
spect for this wonderful country in
which we live.

Chop shop man gets one year
One of several people arrested
following an undercover operation
in chop shops and theft of automo-
biles was sentenced to one year in
jail following an appearance in
Wingham Provincial Court, Oct.
18.
David Jervis, of Seaforth, was
charged with 17 counts of posses-
sion of stolen property.
The investigation began in April
of 1994, with a Crime Stoppers tip
that a rural garage had been taking
in stolen vehicles, stripping them
down and selling them for parts.
Undercover officers eventually
recovered nine GMC pickup trucks
worth $250,000, whichhad been
taken from several homes and deal-
erships in several counties and
throughout the Waterloo Region.
Defense Counsel Alan Mill re-
ferred to the pre -sentence report as
one that was "essentially good",
adding that his client had never
been involved with the law before
and was looked at in his communi-
ty as an exemplary person. He said
that Jervis's sole motivation was
"sheer greed".
Mill stressed that his client had
not been directly involved in the
chop shop, but had bought parts
from them for his car lot and repair"
shop.
He added that of all the people

charged, Jervis had been the first to
plead guilty and has co-operated
fully with police, even providing
them with information that would
help with the investigation.
Mill added that a substantial re-
covery had been made by the offi-
cers and once again reminded
Judge R.G.E. Hunter that his client
was well-respected in his communi-
ty.
Mill said a joint submission with
the Crown as to a . penalty of one
year in reformatory had been
agreed upon. This was reiterated by
Crown Attorney Don Vale.
"It is a rather difficult situation
for you and your family to get
caught up in a stupid situation like
this, and ruin an otherwise exem-
plary reputation," Judge Hunter
chastised Jervis before sentencing
him to 12 months concurrent on
each charge.

The scene there was "wall to

speeches by the three leaders of the
`No' side, Quebec Liberal Leader
and former Premier Daniel John-
son, Prime Minister Chretien and
Federal Progressive Conservative
Leader Jean Charest.
Armstrong returned from the ral-
ly convinced that the 'No' side
would win and joined other Canadi-
ans in feeling tremendous relief

Only one tender

Tuesday evening, by roads super-

202 Josephine Street, Town of Wingham. this property is commercial in nature

and R2 (Medium Density Residential) to C4-1 (Core Area Commercial - Special
Zones) to permit the construction of an accessory garage to the rear of the
existing commercial building on the subject lands. A severance application was
approved by the Town of Wingham Committee of Adjustment in 1992 (File B

garage is proposed to be constructed.
The provisions for the accessory building shall require that it be located no closer
than 2 metres from the main building on the subject lot and further that the
