sequences of expanding hydro generating plants to meet societys in creasingly heavy power demands most people dont seem to realize that power plants are responsible for an enormous amount of pollution bob pointed out he is also appalled at the proliferation of nuclear generating stations which he con siders a great hazard i felt a need to diverse from the existing hydro monopoly whose expansion policy i do not agree with and refuse to support said bob he did without any power at all for a while and found it rather pleasant to shape his day around the daylight but eventually decided to build

a furnace fan or water pump because be heats mainly with wood supplemented by an oil resident electors onboard uxbridge after a lot of confusion and double talk uxbridge council finally made it fairly clear they want only those that can vote on their uxpool board the discussion at last weeks council meeting centered on the wording of a resolution by the board restricting members to residents and taxpayers councillor alan wells disagreed with the wording saying it was difficult to see having criteria more restrictive in the board thanit is to sit on council anyone eligible to vote should be allowed there are good people who may not be a resident or a taxpayer that could serve the board councillor sandy ewer pointed out that the bylaw could be changed under the right particular circumstances and he was in favour of leaving the wording as it was norm lyons also agreed with mr ewen commenting i cant agree with letting a non resident on the board it should be governed by locals they foot the bill and theyshould have the say however it was councillor john paxton who came up with the solution suggesting the wording be changed to a- resident elector insuring the resident part but not as restrictive as the previous wording space heater and draws bis water from a well this independence gives him a lot of satisfaction if the hydro goes off usually everything goes off be pointed out the furnace the stove the lights nothing works when a monopoly has complete control its dangerous bob estimates that it cost him roughly 400 to build his system about the same as the average cost of hydro for a year the main expense was the windmill which he designed himself he took his sketches to smith welding and they built the mill to his specifications the blade design offers lots of wind surface and the tail looks like a butterflys wing 1 wanted it to look alive explained bob he says quite a few people stop and ask about his windmill and several neighbours have ex pressed an interest in putting in similar systems for themselves this in bobs view is a small step in the right direction the utilization of solar and wind power youre got to work for your dreams he summed up bob macilwain finds windpower a feasible energy alternative he generates enough electricity to run small appliances and house lights j budget may include band continued from page 1 president and

statement that was warmly received by all committee members mr rubbens then told the board that because the league has expanded into two girls teams along with another boys squad there is a definite need for ad ditional fields the board assured mr rubbens that at least one new field will be seriously considered for the coming year however soccers good news was more than offset by reports from the hockey and figure skating groups that their budgets are up the rise in those- budgets is something totally out of their hands as it stems from a seven per cent increase in ice fees which will mean approximately s3 more per hour ed grimshaw president of the town omha minor hockey commented he is asking almost 1500 more this year because of the ice fee increase and rising costs of equipment the request if granted would put the total town grant for minor hockey at 22000 almost 40 per cent of the total budget the board members realized the increase had little to dp with minor hockey and as ed said were not in this to make money just to break even we may have to raise our registration fees because of the ice but v 24 x 3v reg 89c double 5x7 reg 399 4x 5j reg 179 8 x 10 reg 429 6047184 metal

more ice time and the desire to put one of the teams in an outside league for better com petition have all led to a bigger request figure and power skating also found themselves in the same boat with figure skating asking for 1228 more and the power request close to 800 more a suggestion that registration fees be raised for skating members outside of stouffville was met with displeasure from skating representative barb summerfeldt and also from committee member cliff dunkeld q ifjcliff actively in volved in girls hockey said if the fees were raised for outoftowners that would wipe out girls hockey onethird of our players come from markham claremont or uxbridge and if the had to pay more to play here they would go to the f uxbridge league no im strongly against that baseball then got their chance before the board and their request for a total grant of 4400 just 23 over last year was met with favour graham mason commented that baseball hopes to raise- 1100 mainly in the selling of chocolate bars to pur chase a new pitching machine committee member bill kamps however was a little dubious about that amount have you ever tried to sell chocolate bars in the summer its murder mr mason went on to state that registration fees have doubled this year to 10 and he said this has covered most of the increased costs the only other group to approach the com mittee was the vandorf and ballantrae playground represen tatives who each have separate budgets they also brought with them good news asking almost 1000 less in their combined total from last year part of the reason is the dropping of one full time leader from vandorf and the increased registration fees in ballantrae ballantrae has in creased registration to 10 although vandorf is only charging 1 per week per child which mr kamps thought was much too low for the services a representative from youth bowling failed to show up for the meeting and board chairman charlie warden suggested put ting in last years figure again this year with no increase taking in all budget request the total comes o approximately 48796 as compared to 45945 last year however there was 3000 for the band and increased ice fees that put the budget over last years figures overall the board members seemed happy with the budgets and saw no real problems in any 0 0
