The youth centre is the first post - disposition facility in Ontario to be established by the Ministry of Correctional Services to meet the special needs of young offenders under the new Young Offenders Act. "After carefully analysing the re- quirements of the act," said Mr. Leluk, "the ministry has developed a comprehensive plan that will provide separate facilities and programs for those 16 - and 17 -year-old of- fenders who remain our responsibility." The act, proclaimed by the federal government in April 1984, sets the max- imum age for young offenders in Canada at 17, effective April 1, 1985. "Extensive upgrading of the Bluewater facility is necessary to meet our physical plant requirements and programing needs," added Mr. Leluk. Renovations will include mandatory upgrading to meet fire regulations, perimeter security fencing, conversion of dormitory space to 66 single rooms and changes to the educational, voca- tional, kitchen and recreational areas. The 120 bed spaces will be distributed among four units. "The conversion of Bluewater to meet our needs is an example of the ministry making use• of available resources to fulfill the re- quirements of the Young Offenders Act without incurring unreasonable costs to the taxpayer," said Mr. Leluk. The $10.4 million for the renovations will come from the On- tario government's Board of industrial Leadership and Development (GILD) as part of its continuing job creation initiative. Along with the traditional services such as health care, dental care and basic education • services, all youth facilities will provide comprehensive and flexible programs that will help a young person to deal with the per- sonal problems and situations that led the individual to come into conflict with the law. Important components of the programs will include identification of learning disabilities, life skills and employment training, interpersonal relationships and family interaction. Staff resources will include psychologists, psychiatrists, educators and socialworkers, who will assess and determine the ap- propriate programs for residents, along with line staff and supervisors who will en- sure the security of the facility and maintain Conestoga future unstable in Vanastra There may be no future for Conestoga Col- lege in Huron County says college president Kenneth Hunter. Mr. Hunter told the October session of Huron County Council that it is "very like- ly" that Conestoga will not continue in its location at Vanastra. The college president was presenting an annual report to the reeves and deputy reeves. The renont shows that in 1979-80 the Clinton campus had a full time student enrolment of 50, a number that has dwindled to 16 for the current school year. However, there is an increase in the conti- nuing education enrolment. From 595 in 1979-80, this figure is expected to reach 745 this school year. Besides enrolment figures, Mr. Hunter said the college has entered into discussions with the Huron County Board of Education regarding its possible purchase of the school facility. The Conestoga president said the major factor that keeps a school functional is students in sufficient numbers. He sug- gested that the college would consider operating a college division in Huron County in "less expensive ways" than is currently being done. its day-to-day operation. Mr. Leluk said that the emphasis will be on providing profes- sional support and rehabilitative oppor- tunities for young people who, in the opinion of the courts, need to be housed in a secure facility. The conversion of the Bluewater Centre,: located 5 km south of the Town of Goderich, will have a positive impact on Goderich and surrounding communities, added Mr. Leluk. The renovation phase will create many short-term jobs for construction and related industries. When the facility is opened more than 150 staff will be employed, including a number of staff formerly employed at the centre by the Ministry of Community and Social Ser- vices. Representatives of the Ministry of Correctional Services will be meeting with them in the near future to discuss employ- ment opportunities and training plans. Favorite fall hike planned BRUCEFIELD - On Sunday, October 14 at the Bannockburn Wildlife Area, the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) is sponsoring its annual autumn favorite, the Bannockburn Fall Hike. Between 2 and 4 p.m., the ABCA naturalists will be leading guided hikes through the 62 acre Wildlife Area. Techni- ques that everyone can use to attract more wildlife will be discussed and, after an in- vigorating hike, hot apple cider will be pro- vided. The Bannockburn Wildlife Area is located 4 km. west of Brucefield off County Road 3. The 62 acre Conservation Authority -owned property contains an unusual number of dif- ferent types of vegetation spread over vary- ing topography; two factors which combine to provide homes or habitat for many dif- ferent types of wildlife. Dan Kennaley, with the Conservation Authority, says "the Bannockburn Wildlife Area is a hikers paradise and never more beautiful than in the autumn". Hikers are advised to dress for the weather, wear boots and bring cameras or binoculars. The hike is free of charge Tuckersmith council. • from page 1 the meeting for a white pine tree planting ceremony at the township office grounds, to mark the Ontario bicentennial anniversary BUTCHER SHOP OUR SPECIALTIES Ontario No. 1 Large GREEN PEPPERS .69th.

Mr. Falconer spoke to council of some of the projects of the authority such as the new administration offices opened this summer, and land erosion problems. Sheelagh Lawrence, community relations officer on the route and site selection department of Ontario Hydro, discussed On- tario Hydro's investigation of a route from the Bruce Nuclear Plant to London and the involvement of the municipality through which the route would be going. She said the original site chosen by Hydro had been turned down and now they are pro- posing building a transmission aline along a new route, to be ready by May. She said the township would be kept aware of progress of plans. In his report to council, road superinten- dent Allan Fotheringham, said he had tenders for the 580 feet of sidewalk the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications had approved on the main, road from Victoria Street to North, Street, on the west side. Council accepted the tender of Jim Holland for $6,201.55 the lowest of three received. Work is to be completed by Oc-' tober 31.

Vanastra School capital forecast BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE While it doesn't top the list, Vanastra Public School is included in the Huron Coun- ty Board of Education's annual capital forecast. The list, which includes the replacement of over 188,000 square feet of roofing at 12 elementary shcools, was presented at the board October session. Every year boards of education submit a list of priority projects for which they need capital grants from the ministry of educa- tion. The roofs of schools qualify for grant money once they are over 20 years of age. No final decision has been made regar- ding the future of Vanastra Public School yet it is included in the list because 1985 capital funding requests have to be submit- ted to the ministry by Nov. 1 of this year said director of education Bob Allen. Estimated figures for the cost of renovating the school are $475,000 and if ap- proval is given. by the ministry, it would pay about $420,000 or 80 per cent of the cost. Ap- proximately $105,000 which includes an estimated purchase price of about $50,000, plus operating costs would be paid by the school board. Annual operating costs have been estimated at $30,000. Trustee Tony McQuail reminded trustees that they need to think about the future of the Vanastra school as it will most likely be on the board's Nov. 5 meeting agenda. Hog stabilization Many market hog producers are still phoning the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food office for assistance in completion of their Federal Hog Stabilization form. The most frequent concern is uncertainty about the section for producers who are not par- ticipating in a provincial stabilization pro- gram which requires witnessing by a com- missioner for taking oaths. This section is not applicable to Ontario producers as there is no provincial stabiliza- tion program for market hogs. Ontario pro- ducers need only complete the first page of the application form and return it, along with their marketing board statement which indicates the number of hogs eligible far payment.
