ONTARIO HOME RENEWAL PROGRAM The Ontario Ministry of Housing has made available funds to Wingham to provide assist,. ance to owner -occupants to repair faulty struc- tural and sanitary conditions and to upgrade the plumbing, heating and electrical systems. Homeowners are eligible for assistance under the program by way of forgiveable or low interest repayable loans or both. Funds are available to homeowners whose adjusted family income does not exceed $12,500. For further information, contact: Mr. William Renwick, Clerk -Treasurer or Mr. Tom Deyell,. Finance Chairman Wingham receives grant for home repair loans Wingham has recently received a $36,000 grant from the provincial government to be used in providing loans under the On- tario Home Renewal Program, (OHRP) Councillor Tom Deyell announced last week. The program is aimed at help- ing lower income homeowners bring older houses up to mini- mum housing standards. It provides loans up to $7,500 to be used in repairing faulty struc- tural or sanitary conditions or in upgrading .plumbing, heating or electrical systems. The loans are administered by the municipality from a revolv- ing account, with the money being fed back into the fund as loans are repaid. The town receives an adminis- tration fee for handling the loans and Wingham is eligible for a fur- ther grant of $28,000 if the current grant is exhausted. Any homeowner with an ad- justed"'amily income under `$12,500 is eligible to apply under the program. The adjusted in- come is the gross. jncome of the principal wage-earner and his or.. her spouse, with certain deduc- tions. ' A portion of the loan is also for- givable for homeowners with ad- justed incomes under $11,000, varying according to income to a maximum of $4,000. Forgiveness is earned at the rate of $600 per year by continuing to live in the house. When an' eligible homeowner' applies for a loan, the building in- spector is sent to check the house to. determine whether it meets minimum housing standards. Wingham adopted the standards set out by the housing ministry at the May meeting of town council. Two estimates are then ob- Sale ends Saturday, July 9th.

In all of Ontario, 11,400 young people are employed by the pro- vincial special employment pro- gram. A $15 million project , this year's,\ expanded program en- compasses 63 components, all 'of which are administered by 18 provincial ministries. All the programs operate through the various ministries of the Ontario government. In most cases, they are run in co-opera- tion with the established com- munity agencies, such as recrea- tion committees, school boards, conservation authorities, mu- seums and art galleries. This en Sures that local concerns and pri- oritiesare met, Experience '77 jobs are jobs that need to be done, ones that will provide concrete benefit's to Ontario's communities, program organizers claim. The program spans a wide range of employment • fields as varied as recreation, culture, so- cial services. medicine. law tour- ism and the environment. As the name "experience" im- plies, the program's fobs are de- signed ,to complement' a young person's academic and career interests. T irough'the• program, young people will hopefully gain insight into the real working world and become better prepared to make important career decisions: pr The Wingham Advance -Times, July 6, 1977—Page RDOP OPEN HOUSE—The Rural Development Outreach Project held an open house last Wednesday at its farm house, RR 4, Wingham. The project members; by questionnaires -and listening to people in Turnberry Township and Wingham, are attempting to assist people in dealing with their specific problems. Making contacts known to the people is one of the main aims of the project Bea Abbott, field centre co-ordinator, Gary King from the Kellogg Foundation, which is funding the project, Ed de Grosbois, a staff member, and Tony Fuller, project director, are shown above. RDOP uses open house to emphasize its aims The Rural Development Out- reach Project's (RDOP) primary aim is to discover what sort of things people in this area want help with and find ways of getting it for. them. That was the point emphasized' •• by project coordinator Bea Ab- bott during an open house at the RDOP's Morris Township farm- house last week. Representatives from Turnberry Township and Wingham 'as -well as local resi- dents attended the open -house to ..• meet RDOP staff. • "We don't want •to tell. people what we want to do,"•she pointed out, since to set up goals in ad- vance might limit the scope of the suggestions they hope to receive. Rather, she said, they hope to find out what the people of the community want and how the project can help them. get it. The help could include seminars on business or faun administration and .technical assistance, but much of it will probably revolve around establishing information channels, both within communi- ties and to outside bodies, to•.im- prove use of resources already present. The RDOP, recently formed at the University of Guelph, is using Turnberry Township and Wing - ham as pilot areas. •It moved into the area earlier this year and currently has a staff of four working ,out of its field centre on Concession 2 of Morris Township. Other mem- bers commute here. At present, project members are circulating a questionnaire they hope will identify areas of local concern, Statistician Tom Beaver, who recently joined the staff after working for four years with the Canada New -Start Pro- gram in New Brunswick, will compile and analyze the .results of the questionnaires and they will be released sometime this. fall. The information collected will not be taken back to the univer- sity and filed, project members promise, but will remain in the area to be used in guiding the project's focus. The RDOP is being funded in its initial stages by a grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan.

(Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food Photo) Gary King, who attended the open house, said his group will be funding this project for the first five years, though he declined to release the figures involved. By that time he hopes it will have found alternate sources of fund- ing. . . The foundation operates almost worldwide, he said, backing pro- jects that offer practical assis- tance rather than theoretical re- search programs. Mrs. Abbott said the project plans to withdraw from this area after several years. By then it should have'discovered what re- sources, in terms of services and information, . are available to residents of the area and set up lines of communication' to permit effective use of them. An important aspect of the pro- ' ject, she said, is simply putting individuals and groups within a community in touch with other organizations that can provide information or services they need.
