Snowarama tried again After two snow-plugged postponements, Whipper Wat- son's Snowarama for Timmy is now definitely set for Sunday, February 27. Starting point for this 100-mile event is still the Hully Gully Chalet, where the Whip himself will be on hand between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m, to cheer all riders on their way. More than 500 snowmobilers are expected to zoom off in icy splendour on the 27 th on behalf of the Ontario Society for Crippled Children and its local Easter Seal service clubs. The official trail curves through Clinton and Seaforth, then heads south for Whalen where food is available to all riders. Thus fortified, it's across to Ailsa Craig then north through Mount Carmel and on to the finish at Hully Gully. Snowarama is more than just a fund raising event. It is designed to show that, in careful hands, snowmobiles provide safe, en- joyable winter recreation without needlessly damaging the en- vironment, The London area Snowarama is one of 14 similar events taking place this winter throughout Ontario, Last Sunday the Bradford Snowarama was pledged for almost $60,000 - — more than double the previous year's amount, Bradford organizers have since issued a friendly challenge to the London group to beat that figure.

The joint meeting was held February 15. Donna Bickell gave a report on braising meat which is cooking meat slowly in a small amount of liquid in a pan with a tight fitting lid. She had a sample of a round steak which she had prepared by cooking in beer. Ellen Eveleigh gave a lesson on pot roasting which is cooking a large cut of meat by braising. First, brown meat in fat, then add water and seasonings and braise. Vegetables can be added Susan Schaefer talked on simmering which is cooking a large cut of meat covered in water in a covered pot and kept at a temperature just below the boiling point, Lana Marshal explained how to stew. Small pieces of meat are cooked in liquid in a covered pan at simmering temperatures. The liquid can be thickened if desired. Sheila Duncan told how to make gravy, which is the method of thickening through mixture of flour and fat, If it is too thick, you can add hot water to make desired consistency. Mrs. Payner gave a lesson about pork, which is cheapest when purchased during these winter months. A recipe you might like to try: Pot Roast in foil 2-4 lb. pot roast (blade, chuck, or rump) 1 pkg. (11/4 oz.) onion soup mix Place meat in heavy duty foil. Sprinkle onion soup mix over top and add 1 tbsp, of water, Securely wrap meat in foil and place in shallow pan. In a 300 degree F oven, bake smaller roasts for about 3 hours, larger roast for 31/2 hours or until meat is tender.

These are municipal rates and do not include water, lighting, sewage, etc. On a total township assessment of $4,384,835 this mill rate will raise $106,896 for municipal purposes. Councillor Frank Falconer said the four-mill increase was not large in view of the high costs of snow removal this winter and money budgeted for a new grader to be bought this year. Council accepted the 1977-78 Vanastra sewage and water budget as presented by Mark Bell, operations officer with the Ministry of the Environment, London. The water budget at Vanastra will be $25,500 and the sewage budget $36,900 for a total of $62,400. This compares to last year's water budget of $21,400 and sewage of $33,600 totalling $55,000. Mr. Bell said his department was concerned about water leaks and storm drain water leaking into the Vanastra sewage system. He said there were about 12 leaks on privately owned properties and six or more storm drain leaks on township owned property (roadways). "We would like the township to take some action on repairing these leaks", Mr. Bell said, "as it is toomuch for thesewage system. If not corrected the sewage plant will need to be expanded," 'he stated. Mr. Bell said for eight or nine months the sewage flow averages about 160,000 gallons per day for approximately 700 users at Vanastra or 230 gallons per capita per day. He said this is high but "we can handle this". However, he said this is much higher during certain periods and one day in March last year reached a million gallons or 1,400 gallons per person for one day. Council agreed to do what it can depending on funds available. Private landowners will be advised to repair their leaks, and if not done by a certain time it will be done by township and owner billed. Mr. Bell said an hydraulically operated valve costing about $2,000 will .be installed to help regulate the water pressure at Vanastra. He said this automated system will give a better flow. Mike Meier of the accounting firm of Diegel, Malcolm and Hagey of Stratford discussed the 1976 audit statement with council who accepted it as prepared by Mr. Meier. The statement showed tax arrears at the end of 1976 in the township amounted to $264,112. At the 'end of 1975, arrears amounted to $238,963. These figures include interest charges Of $20,000 up to December 1976, The operating loss at Vanastra recreation amounted to $30,000 in 1976, Mr, Meier noted that $13,000 was spent on the Vanastra recreation hall last year and said that "when you quit making capital expenditures then the deficit will go down." Reeve Ervin Sillery stated he hoped there would be no more capital expenditure for a long time. As well Vanastra residents are paying offover a 20 year period a $ debenture for the Recreation Centre. Vanastra Recreation Centre manager Diane Durnin attended council meeting. She said she was preparing the new program for the coming season. She stated she is cutting if from 12 weeks to 10 weeks and "this will save on staff costs", Mrs. Durnin said oil fumes were a problem in the swimming pool area. Three delegates from Vanastra attended the council session to discuss fire protection at Vanastra. They were Russ Archer of Archer's Farm Sales and Service Limited; Wilfred Schneider of Huron Acoustic Industries Limited and Steve Rathwell of Central Machines. Mr. Schneider, a part owner of the Huron Acoustic firm, lost his frame building in a recent fire and presently is carrying on his business in a temporary building space with no decision as to whether he will rebuild. Mr. Archer said five business men at Vanastra had formed the Vanastra Fire Area committee several months ago and were hoping to get a fire department at Vanastra, "I think we have a good indication from the recent fire (at Huron Acoustic) that we need a fire truck," he said. The Fire Insurance Under- writers consider Vanastra an unprotected area because it is just over two miles from a Fire Department, Mr. Archer ex- plained and this results in high insurance rates. He estimated that $50,000 in insurance could be saved at Vanastra among the property owners if they had a fire department. Mr. Archer had contacted Don Owen of the Ontario Fire Mar- shal' Office who had come to Vanastra to talk to him. Mr. Archer said he was unable to meet Mr. Owen the day he came and was surprised to learn later Mr. Owen had decided to attend Tuckersmith Council meeting being held that day. It was arranged at the council meeting that Mr. Owen would make a survey of the fire protection needs of the whole township, not justVanastra. Mr. Archer wondered where this decision left his committee, "where do we go from here?" Reeve' Ervin Sillery said the council would await the results of Mr. Owen's survey which he thought would be ready by May. Mr. Schneider objected to it being a confidential report as requested by Mr. Owen. Mr. Archer said Tuckersmith has done well by Vanastra but it has been directed to the homeowners, not the industrial area. "You are not encouraging more industry to come to Vanastra," he said. Industry provides more taxes than houses he explained. Councillor Frank Falconer suggested that even if a firetruck was stationed at Vanastra it could have been storm-stayed by drifts the night of the Huron Acoustic plant fire. Mr. Archer agreed, but said, "It's economics we're looking at," Road superintendent Allan Nicholson said Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications will grant main- tenance subsidy of $67,500 on proposed road maintenance expenditures of $134,880 and subsidy of $65,000 on proposed road construction expenditures of $106,600. Township workmen, grader operators — were given an ' 8 percent increase in wages. Mr. Nicholson said about $20,000 costs were incurred following the recent snow storms by hiring local farmers with snowblowers to assist in clearing township roads. In answer to a question from the press on total snow removal costs, Mr. Nicholson said he didn't have all the accounts in yet but estimated it would be around $130,000, Mr, Nicholson was given permission to attend the annual three-day road school at Guelph University in May. He said the course this year is based on metrics to prepare road superintendents for the change- over in all road signs across Canada to the metric system. Gravel tenders will be ad- vertised to be in by 2 p.m. on March 1, Burns Ross firm of Goderich was appointed to 'appraise all bridges in the township as to safety standards. Council took no action until more information is received on a request from Town of Seaforth for a grant of $1,300 for 1977 towards the arena operating deficit. This grant of 19 percent of the deficit is based on the number of Tuckersmith residents par- ticipating in organized sports at the arena. Council wants to know if this grant would allow Tuckersmith ratepayers to use arena without paying the sur- charge of $15 charged last two years when grant not paid as requested. The meeting was adjourned at 2 a.m. Wednesday and remainder of business to be carried over to March 1 meeting. Deputy reeve Robert Bell was absent from meeting as he was on a holiday to Florida.
