TTPPB appeals to Davis on The Tiny-Tay Penin- sula Planning Board has sent a two-page letter to Premier William Davis, asking that he review the decision of Minister of Transport James Snow, to allow Stoneleigh Motors Limited an en- trance access off High- way 27 According to area planning administrator Mike Ufford, the letter explains the rationale behind the TTPPB's initial denial of access way to the car dealer, and asks Davis to reassess the situation '"'with a view to overturning the minister's decision."' In March, the TTPPB received _ notification from the Ministry of Transport stating that despite objections raised by the planning board regarding the entrance way decision, it would stand firm in its position to allow Stoneleigh its requested access The ministry's stance on the Stoneleigh issue has been the source of some displeasure recently at the area planning board, and in the letter to Davis, the board's objections to the access way are outlined. According to Mr Ufford, these objections basically, amount to two He said that the board feels the Highway 27 driveway granted the auto dealer is un necessary, as the yet to be constructed dealership is located adjacent to a sideroad leading off High- way 27, and the board feels that the sideroad would provide adequate access The second concern pointed out to Premier Davis in the letter is that in the past, local municipalities, planning boards and even Ministry of Transport technicians have agreed that it would be poor planning policy to allow direct access from Highway 27 in the area where the new dealership is located. Mr. Ufford said that the ministry's "decision" to allow the entrance way is in terpreted by the board as a contravention of poli HOUSE OF C Classes & Custom Firing "Ask about Hwy 27decision | developed at the local level--policy which, he went on to say, the provincial | government has asked the local board to develop through such programs as the Highway 27 study grants. He said that the second objection pointed out to the premier reflects a fundamental concern on the part of the board that local policy developed for specific local needs can be overruled by more powerful governmental authorities "Tt would appear to be a political decision, rather than a planning decision," Mr. Ufford said. 'All the people who made decisions on a planning basis, including local and area planning boards, the Highway 27 Steering Committee, have all agreed in one direction, and somebody comes along and goes the other way. It seems to have been a non-technical decision." "7 personally, would like to emphasize that I think it's a good idea to have the dealership there--we're very happy to see local businesses expand--but I feel the access should be off the sideroad, not the high- way,"' Mr. Ufford went on to state.

Mr. French, who is presently enrolled in a M.A. program at the University of Toronto, was awarded a U of T graduate _ studies scholarship of $3,050 plus tuition expenses, and an Ontario Graduate Scholarship, worth $4,500. He will be accepting one of the scholarships. Last year, Mr. French earned his Bachelor of Music degree from Sir Wilfrid Laurier University, and this fall enrolled in a two-year M.A. program at the summer harvest, or a businessman who just discovered all your secretaries are going on vacation at once, don't panic. Help is on the way. This summer thousands of high school, college and university students will be out on the streets and banging on _ doors, begging for summer employment. You can hire them in your business or on your farm at little cost. According to Scott MclIvor, a_ publicity manager with the Ontario government, a program known as The Ontario Youth Employment Program (OYEP) provided between 26,000 and 28,000 business and farming jobs to unem- ployed young people last summer. The program is running again this year with the hopes that more people will be employed, especially in the Midland area where jobs are so scarce. Employers in business or on farms are the only people who qualify in the program. The provincial government will sub- sidize the person they hire for $1.25 per hour. For students between the ages of 15 and 18 the minimum wage is only $2.15, which means the employer only has to pay 90 cents per hour. If the students work 40 hours a week for 12 weeks, the employer pays out only about $400. For students over the age of 18 or non-students over 15 the minimum wage is $2.65. Mr. Maclvor says the minimum period of time that students can be hired is six weeks for 25 hours a week. The maximum period is 25 weeks star- ting May 1. The subsidy will apply for a 40-hour work week. The employer hires and fires as he pleases, says Mr. Mclvor. The only stipulation is that a relative can not be hired. "Hiring a_ relative would cause obvious abuses of the program," he said. Any business or farm can hire up to six people and receive a subsidy for each one. The employer pays the person the full wage and files a claim for the subsidy after the period of employment is ended. This means the employee must make the ap- propriate deductions on the employee's pay cheque. If this sounds good to you, applying is the next step. It's very easy, ac- cording to Mr. Mclvor, with none of the normal government hold-ups. Phone 1-800-268-7192 and ask for an ap- plication.
