keen to go into the city and do some exploring shes really longing to see casa loma smiles mrs juk and no visit to the area would be complete without a look at niagara falls so the family will

snow by bruce stapley town works department head ron gibson says hes not buying all those predictions of a brutal winter contained in this years farmer almanac but hes not taking any chances all the same were in the process of preparing our equipment our materials and our snow fences he says but the last few years would seem to indicate that the overall climate is changing we used to have really bad winters but for the past couple of years we really havent had much snow the town will go with thcsame lineup of equipment as last year there are two trucks and a trac tor all with blades for the urban area along with two fiveton trucks one four by four a loader and a couple of rented trucks to serve the rural areas as for materials gibson says the town has 3600 tonnes of sand on hand along with 362 tonnes of salt to eat away at the autos of the towns people and his crew of 10 men will in stall 150100 foot rolls of snow fence in various parts of the rural areas as usual gibsons boys will not be responsible for keeping stouff- villes sidewalks clear as this job is contracted out to private individuals gibson reports he is pleased with the progress of the sidewalk face lift operation underway in the bia strip of stouffvilles business area they are ahead of schedule and as long as the weather holds out there should be no problems to the towns people while the works department is not directly involved with the project gibson points out it will be the towns responsibility to upgrade water works where necessary gibson feels he has the man power and the equipment to han dle
