'Temporary help' to be defined by Harbour councillors The next meeting of Victoria Harbour Council will be held Feb. 9 in Victoria Har- bour Council Chambers and at that time, the council members will attempt to define "temporary help.' A problem arose to make the definition necessary when Mike Juneau, a resident of Victoria Harbour was hired on a part-time basis to help take over some of the work load facing the two regular workers in the Parks and Recreation Department of Victoria Harbour. Juneau was hired in December, but frozen Tiny Twp. okays accounts pipes and other winter-related problems forced council to keep him on until this week. This has made some people in victoria Harbour wonder if Juneau was hired on a part-time basis or full-time. Another related problem came to light at a council meeting in Victoria Harbour Monday night when one resident noted Mike Juneau is related to one of the council members, Bev- Juneau, deputy-reeve of the village. He claimed Juneau was hired because of that and added another relative of the village's deputy-reeve was also working in the village office. Reeve Douglas Jackson assured the resident, all hiring was done upon qualifications and there was no relationship between either of the two hirings and the fact that Bev Juneau is on council. Bev Juneau declares a conflict of interest every time anything about the matter is brought up which means that she has been in no way involved with the hiring of anyone related to her, it was pointed out Monday night. Jackson also stated Mike Juneau was hired because he knew the job and could work in- dependently. He also felt just because a person was on council, it didn't mean a member of their family should be disqualified for any jobs that come up within the village. Mike Juneau will be let go as soon as weather permits and the work load can be taken over again by two regular employees. A third person will be hired. have already taken place. Mike Juneau submitted his name for the job and according to Jackson, if he gets it, he will have gotten it on his qualifications, not his family ties. : Interviews Hamelin, John Butler, The following ac- by tender from and Communications to and Stephen Quaife Continuing Education Mmencement of counts were passed ata Reynolds Electric $661, transfer $15,855 to have been authorized to on Saturday, Jan. 17. proceedings through to and Gabe Brunelle. regular meeting of Tiny 1981 Rural Ontario Tiny's subsidy to cover attend a course on the sentencing and appeals.
