Romanuk explained that the meter reader has complained of being "nip- ped" by dogs who are on long leashes or running around loose in the yards of the houses the reader has to visit each month. "*We could advise our customers that we have this problem and that they should keep their dogs on a short enough leash," Simons suggested, adding that an additional problem for the meter reader is one involving meters which have been covered by piles of wood or snow. "They have to provide easy access for him," Simons said. "It's not good enough that it (the hydro meter) is outside."' . **Maybe we should put something in the paper that the meter reader will be coming on these specific days,"' Reeve Chapman said. "*The dog may still be out there on a leash anyway," Simons responded. Reeve Chapman then felt the Township should send a letter to those houses identified by the meter reader, but Romanuk said it might not be a good idea to single those people out. "*No, I think our first step should be to contact these people with a nice letter (explaining) that we've had these complaints," Reeve Chapman ing a Class 4 charter service at the town airport. A letter from Javier Martinez of the company read at the meeting claimed that the service will offer 'substantial savings" over the other airlines when two or more people take advantage of it at the same time for flights to Thunder Bay, Marathon or Manitouwadge. Romanuk complained that the let- ter did not provide specific rates for flights. The letter did note that the price for trips will have to include a rate of $1 per mile and/or $100 per hour, with a minimum charge of $50. "T'll_ get more information on this," Simons promised. A letter from the Ministry of Health was also read. In it, Council was informed that the CNIB's mobile vision van would be in Terrace Bay from Sept. 22 to 26 at the McCaus- land Hospital. "This has already been booked up by the public health nurse," Simons said. "But there is no advertising for it, no public nothing."' "T suggest we write to them and suggest we should be given advance notice next time," Reeve Ollie Chap- man said. "We would like to be able to have a little more input on this."' The consensus at the meeting was that appointments at the CNIB van should be open to the general public and announced ahead of time. CARD OF THANKS We Wish to thank all our friends and relatives, who in their own way, helped us at this sad time, in the loss of our wife and mother June.

Ray Sisson, Lynda, Dale and Rae & Families THANK YOU The family of the late Elva McMillan, who passed away in Thunder Bay after a lengthy illness, would like to thank all those who visited Mom while she was in the hospital. To all her friends who attended the funeral, sent cards, flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society - or helped in any way, our heartfelt thanks. She will be sadly missed by us all. Fred McMillan and Family Terrace Bay Aviation has new cha replied. She said if action is then not taken, a fine might be in order. "The meter reading is usually done on the 14th, 15th, and 16th of each month,"' she added. No definite ac- tion on the matter was taken at the meeting. Several motions were passed later on, including one accepting a tender of $14,853 for a new police cruiser for the Terrace Bay Police Brothers from Spadoni Brothers in Schreiber. A blocked chimney or malfunction- ing furnace can kill, say fuel safety experts. Ontario residents are being warned to ensure their home heating systems are operating properly before turning on the furnace for the first time this season. '*Have the whole system inspected, especially if you haven't already done so this year," advises Monte Kwinter, Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations. "'A simple professional check at least once each year can help avoid tragedy." Illness and death have occurred when faulty heating systems produced carbon monoxide that backed up into homes because of blockage in the chimneys. Homeowners who have had their heating systems converted to natural gas may have to get metal chimney liners installed if the bricks are crumbl- ing or show signs of staining due to moisture condensation. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) blames malfunc- tioning heating systems for about 25 carbon monoxide related deaths in Canada every year. During the past year the Fuels Safety Branch of MCCR has investigated 31 carbon monoxide- related incidents in Ontario, involving 1 death. Carbon monoxide -- a colorless odorless gas -- can leak into homes for a variety of reasons. Aside from block- ed chimneys, cracks in furnace heat ex- changers can also be the culprits. 1n certain types of boilers the heat ex- changer surface may become clogged ° with debris. These and other physical problems should show up during regular inspections. Do not use your furnace until any necessary repairs have been completed. Another quotation of $3,390 for security alterations in the police of- fice was accepted, while the purchase of an electric pressure washer and electric space heaters for a total of $3,200 was also approved, in spite of Councillor Chris Joubert's vote against the purchase. Council then proclaimed Oct. 16 as World Food Day in the town. Dur- ing the committee reports section of the meeting, Council was reminded Chimneys can kill Fuels Safety Branch Director, Bob Clendining warns that a problem known as back drafting can also occur even if there are no physical faults in the furnace or chimney. Back drafting is the reversal of air flow through the venting system. In tightly sealed homes, air can be drawn down the chimney, through the furnace and into the house when the fireplace, kitchen fan, central vacuum cleaner or other air-exhausting appliances are operated. If the furnace is running, exhaust gases may be prevented from rising up the shimney and could be spilled into the house. When recycled through the burner, the waste gases form deadly carbon monoxide. "*Back drafting can be caused by ex- haust fans, fires in a fireplace or a com- bination of things that are exhausting a lot of air from the house," Clendin- ing explaines. "With today's tightly sealed homes, when the demand on the air supply is heavy it can only be satisfied by drawing air through the chimney. You can have problems if the furnace turns on and cannot reverse the flow again." The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are dizziness, nausea, headaches and weakness. If your fami- ly is experiencing any of these signs, yet the annual furnace inspection doesn't uncover any problems, back drafting could be the culprit. Try open- ing a window when using the fieplace or other appliances that use lots of air, Clendining suggests, but if in doubt call a.qualified contractor. _ Remember, homeowners are respon- sible for seeing that their furnaces are properly maintained. i ees SEE a aa TERACE BAY CURLING CLUB Semi-Annual Meeting Wednesday, Oct. 1, 7:30 p.m. NEW & OLD MEMBERS IRLING BAR OPEN Retirement of: | OPEN HOUSE in honour of the forthcoming NICK RACIOPPI to be held OCT. 2 1986 at 7:00 p.m. at 104 COLUMBIA ST.
