Central Huron
signs mobility
bus agreement
Will South Huron be next,
ask organizers?
SEAFORTH - Five municipalities signed an agreement last
Wednesday, bringing the central Huron region closer to having a
mobility bus service for seniors and the handicapped.
Clinton, Seaforth, and Hullett, McKillop, and Tuckersmith Town-
ships signed a document to adopt CHUMS Inc. as a non-profit trans-
portation service in the area.
CHUMS. stands for Central HUron Mobility Service, and it will
be funded by provincial government grants and local fundraising ef-
forts. It should not, organizers insist, have to rely on any kcal tax
dollars for support.
Bev Brown said that some $32,000 has already been raised, but
more funds will be needed before a bus can he purchased. She said
the hope is to have the service up and running by the spring.
"I'm just hoping we'll get some phone calls from South Huron say-
ing 'when can we get started'?'," said Brown.)
Organizational meetings have suggested a demand exists for a
similar service in the arca around Exeter.
"A lot of nice things have come together," said Brown.
Village advertising for
committee volunteers
LUCAN - Residents of the vil-
lage of Lucan wishing to get in-
volved in the business of the mu-
nicipality now have the opportunity
to volunteer to sit on a number of
committees.
in an advertisement in this
week's issue of the T -A, clerk Ron
Reymer is seeking nine interested
ratepayers to he part of the village's
committees.
Three persons arc needed for the
committee of adjustment, the same
number for the planning advisory
committee, two for the arcna man-
agement committee and one to be
part of the Lucan-Biddulph tire
area board.
All interested are asked to submit
a letter of application to the village
office no later than 5 p.m. on De-
cember 1 and the selections are ex-
pected to be made at the December
15 meeting of council.
At a recent meeting, clerk Reym-
er asked that council begin to think
about the privatization of not only
recreation facilities but also other
municipal services. it is the wave
of the future with the purpose of
saving money. He continued, "We
may some day have everything
from the arena complex to the re-
pair of water and sewer mains con-
tracted out. A recent example of
this is the town of Ingersoll. con-
A "THINKING, COMMON SENSE APPR • ' CH" TO EXETER'S NEEDS
tracting out their entire -recreation
department to a private firm."
After some deliberation, council
approved the original tender of
Frank Cowan Company for the vil-
lage insurance needs for 1995 with
a total premium of $28,474.
Deputy reeve Harry Wraith pro-
posed cancelling insurance on the
horse barn, farm storage shed and
the Market and Elm street parks
and reduce the value of insurance
on the municipal building.
When reeve Tom McLaughlin es-
timated the savings on these pro-
posed deletions and reductions
would only be $219 and said he felt
the saving was not worth the risk
he was supported by councillors
Rob Brady and Reg Crawford.
Council has been informed by
village engineer Don Pletch that his
firm Huron -Middlesex Engineering
has merged with Tottenham, Sims
and Hubicki of Whitby.
Council will be donating a village
flag to the Lucan Irish junior hock-
ey team to commemorate their 25th
anniversary.
The wages for part-time staff
such as the animal control officer
and bylaw enforcement officer will
be increased by 1.2 percent, the
same rate of increase as that of full-
time employees.

sue of rebates for recycling pro-
grams after it granted the Darling's
Food Market a $4,500 rebate in the
summer, even though it failed to
meet recycling deadlines.
He said council had not made a
decision to deal with a similar re-
quest from Holtzmann's IGA.
"I don't think we've dealt with this
thing very fairly," he said, and sug-
gested it be cleared up before the
new council comes in.
"We'll also have to deal with Valu
Mart because they trade a verbal
presentation," noted mayor Bruce
Shaw.
Urlin made a motion to reimburse
the IGA some $2,10(1 of its tipping
fees during the recycling program
phase in in late 1993. However, his
motion died without being second-
ed.
Councillor Robert Drummond,
however, agreed the issue was not
resolved, and that he was still of the
opinion council made a mistake
giving a rebate to Darling's in the
first place.
He made a motion to rescind the
Darling's rebate.
"They already have the money,"
pointed out Shaw.
"So get it hack," suggested Drum-
mond.
Reeve Bill Mickle said it would
take at least a two-thirds vote from
council to pass a motion rescinding
an earlier decision, but the mayor
declared the entire motion out of
order because the rebate had al-
ready been paid.
"That's what they said about
Pearson Airport," joked councillor I
Urlin.

Space experts were called to verify the timelock graph-
ics. The two solar systems are depicted in detail, show-
ing one with four planets and a second with nine, this
confirms the theory, it was not the luck of the lottery that
this time capsule came knocking, but a planned voyage.
The short script that accompanies the picture graph
rotates to the earth, moon and sun of our solar system,
and tells of the exact time the capsule will reveal Its
secrets. The window of discovery Is set for Nov. 19,
