MIKE CHAPPELL
One of the first tasks facing Mike Chappell
in his position as Wingbam's director of
public works is figuring out just -what the job
involves and getting organized to carry out
his duties.
As the first occupant of a pot so new there
wasn't even an office' for him when he
arrived, he will be flying by the seat of his
pants for a while getting files built up and
maintenance schedules planned.
He has a pretty good idea what's expected
of him from the outline of duties in the terms
of reference for the position drawn up by
council earlier this year, but it will be up to
him to decide just how they will be carried
out.
In the terms of reference the purpose of the
di>{ector's post is to, advise council and its
committee on policies affecting public works,
building and planning as well as to direct
operations of works and planning units.
Detailed duties take up a page and a half
and.. include making recommendations to
council on construction and maintenance
matters and preparing draft plans and cost
estimates; acting as purchasing agent for
public works, property and cemetery;
preparing budgets and keeping records of
expenditures ; supervising operations of the
works department and carrying out the duties
of a building inspector.
Mr. Chappell, who arrived in town last
week to take up the post following 2"1/2 years
with a Bramalea firm of consulting
engineers, admitted he has no previous ex-
perience working directly at the municipal
level. However he doesn't think this will be a
problem since he gained similar experience
working for clients of the consulting firm as
an engineering technologist.
He said he will basically be trying to
organize the capital expenditures on con-
struction and maintenance in town and plans
to set up a three to four year cycle of road
maintenance. He also expressed aninterest in
being able to coordinate planning' in town.
Currently he is working out of makeshift
quarters in the town clerk's office, but an
office is being constructed for him in the
basement of the old post office building.
On a different note, Mr. Chappell added he
is glad to be getting back to a small town
following several years in the city. He hails
from Lakefield, he noted, a town similar to
this, and his 'wife 'is also from a small town.
He plans to move his wife and their four-
month -old son to Wingham the middle of next
month. Meanwhile he is boarding with a local
family.

Landowners whose land was
used for the big International
Plowing Match Sept. 26-30 .have
all been paid for the use of the
property, IPM land committee
chairman Barry Mulvey said last
week.
But despite wild rumors cir-
culating, the 15 , or so farmers
involved received "very little
compensation for the risk in-
volved"; he added.
'He had heard rumors that host
farmer Jim Armstrong and other
host farmers pirofited from IPM
'78 to the tune of tens of
thousands of dollars each.
In fact, the various host far-
ners were paid a total of $23,445
for the use of their property': That
was in .payment for the use of
about 1,250 acres of farmland.
The land committee recently
sent cheques to host farmers,
paying for use of the land at the
rate of $22 an acre for parking
areas,,i$25 an acre for land used
for plowing competitions and $70
an acre: for the' tented city site.
The farmers could have made
more money if they had rented
the property to another farmer
for normal farm use, Mr. Mulvey
said. There was also some risk
involved in allowing the land to
be used•' for plowing • match
purposes. If the weatherhad
been as wetas it was for the 1966 -
plowing match in Seaforth or the
1977 IPM in Frontenac County,
the rains and heavy traffic could
have compacted the fields and
made them hard to till.
The land committee's job was
made easier by the cooperation it
had from landowners and the
Huron County development
committee, Mr. Mulvey said. The
development committee
provided labor to prepare the
IPM site by trimming brush and
cleaning up after the five-day
match. Farmers who wanted to
.do their part for IPM '78 also
helped.
• "Even a couple days before the
match, we needed more land," he
said. M"We got it, no questions
asked.
Many people' . from out of the
area were surprised by the
cooperation shown by local
people in' presenting IPM '78, Mr.
Mulvey said. • The spirit
generated by the plowing match
should help the Wingham cen-
tennial celebrations, because
many people in the area found
out how much can be ac-
complished if people cooperate,
he said.

Reavie Opportunity Workshop, watches John Jouwsma

the finished products are on the table In front of them.
.
Final profit figures from IPM
'78 haven't been tabulated- yet,
Mr. Mulvey said, because there
are still some bills to come in.
What 'is known is that the match
was a financial success and that
area people worked together well
on the huge project.
One of the most telling things
1V1r. Mulvey said he could say
about the plowing match was that
a lot of people would do it all over
again.

Unemployment
mance
is now more
reonsiv
to condifionsein
Ontario.
To make your Unemployment
Insurance Program more responsive to the
special needs of different areas of Canada,
there are now 48 economic regions for
UI. (Up to now, there were 16 regions.)
With this change, UI benefits
will more accurately reflect your local
employment conditions. •
It's all part of a plan announced
over a year ago.
Each of these new 48 regions will
have its own unemployment rate.. This
will set .the length of time a claimant must
have worked to become eligible for Un-
employment Insurance benefits. And it
will govern the length of benefits as well.
There's nothing new about the
system itself -it's just being measured
•

more finely in 48 regions, rather than 16.
The length of time a claimant must
work to get UI remains the same. It
varies from 10 to 14 weeks, depending on
the unemployment rate where the •
claimant lives. And regionally -based
benefits have1 the same maximum.
The change will only affect those
whose UI claims start after November 12.
This map and the information
with it will slow you the new economic
boundaries in your area.
