The office of the Standard was opposite the Ontario House.

ICE RINK Although the village did not get a skating rink off By Street I have been asked to point out that there has been one on the Lake at the foor of Bay Stt Thanks to the efforts of Lou Pritchard, Paul Peters and a few others a skating area had been maintained up until the ~ thaw. MINOR BALL TOURNAMENT The Newboro Recreation Committee has announced plans for a bullhead supper to be held in conjunction with a minor ball tournament (T-Ball) on May 17, 1981. Details will follow in later Newsletters. Mark the day on your calendarf" $25 BOND NEEDED TO CUT TREES . Newboro Council passed a by-law requiring a $25 bond to be posted by anyone wanting to cut down dead trees on village property. The bond must be posted with the Village Clerk and will be returned when the Road Foreman is satisfied that the tree, including all brush, has been cut up and the area left clean. DOMESTIC ANIMALS STILL A BOTHER IN NEWBORO Council had more complaints about stray dogs. A letter complained about dogs in the Bay and Water streets area. Council has promised to take definite action where the dog and his owner can be identified. As a point of interest a number of people were taken to court in 1966 for refusing to pay $10.00 fines for letting their dogs run loose. The court found in favor of the Village and all ended up paying the fine plus court costs. A complaint was also received regarding the number of stray cats in . the village. Council is going to check; with the Humane Society regarding cat ‘ control methods. RED CROSS HOMEMAKERS RATES RAISED The Canadian Red Cross Homemakers announced, in a letter to council, that the rates for 1981 w0uld be $5.37 per hour with a minimum of three hours per call. Eight hours would be $42.95 and twenty-four hours would be $64.43. These rates were accepted by Council. ERROR CORRECTION -___EH_IZEE_EOHEEWS Newsletter the salary for Council members was in- correctly given as $500. This should have been $600 per year. Other figures given were correct. Penalty for missing a Council meeting is no pay. This works out to a penalty of $62.50 for the Reeve and $50 for councilman. STAR HALL TO BE PURCHASED With OMB approval received, the Village is now committed to purchase the Hall. Purchase price is $15,000 with $3000 as a downpayment. Couldn't we use that $17,000 in overdue taxes now? On a motion to purchase the Hall the new council voted: Opposed - L. Burtch and E. Bresee For - J.Brus J.Monck and F-Warriner. Some pndiminary estimates will be made on preparing the hall for immediate use and these will be presented to the citizens of Newboro via this News- letter. At that time the Council may issue a further statement. SUMMER STUDENT EMPLOYMENT Councilor Monck said that he had received preliminary information on a summer employment program which may enable the Village to hire several students for such work as cleaning up the old cemetery and Lorne Park. A brochure giving details is expected to arrive this month. If the program does allow such work to be done at little or no cost to the village, Council would appreciate any suggestions that individuals may have for other projects within the Village.
