At that time they will make it retroactive to the first of January. Last year a member was paid $75 a day for hotel and meal expenses but with mounting costs this is not considered enough to cover these in 1981. From February 8 to 11 four delegates from Stephen Central Tiger Times Girl's Floor Hockey On Friday the Stephen Central girls floor hockey team played in a tourna- ment. It was held at Exeter Public School. They played five games in which they won two and tied one. They played against Zurich, Hen- sall. Exeter, Usborne, and McCurdy and placed third. All teams played well. - Stephen Anderson Boys Floor Hockey While the girls were playing in Exeter, the boys floor hockey team travelled to J.A.D. McCurdy School in Huron Park. The first place team was Usborne and Stephen came in second. It was a very successful tour- nament. - Jerry Lamport Bake Sale Successful January 22 the grade sevens held a successful pop- corn and bake sale. We made $69.55. We would like to thank the grade 7's who brought goodies to sell and the people who bought them. Thank you. - Heather Brow- ning Winter Carnival In late February, Stephen Central School is having their annual Winter Car- nival.

The next convention will be the Good Roads conven- tion at the end of February., which will be attended by several members of council and their wives. It was on the agenda for council to set the stipends paid to members of council but this was postponed along with convention money. Deputy Reeve William Brown stated he was satisfied with the money ($300 a year plus $45 per regular twice monthly meeting) paid last year, that he was receiving Councillor John Brow- nridge said because he was new on council he was not in a postion to know whether the money ($300 per year plus $40 per regular meeting twice a month) he would receive would be enough. Reeve Robert Bell said he would be satisfied with the $500 per year paid the reeve last year, plus the $55 paid for each of the two regular meetings per month. Councillor Robert Broad - foot's suggestion was accepted that the discussion on convention money and stipends be left until after the ROMA conventon. Ervine Sillery, who represents the township on the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority, gave a brief report on the authority. He said the township is not affected too much by the authority as most of the money is spent in the southern part of the authority area - Ausable Creek area. Deputy -reeve Brown ask- ed Mr. Sillery about the work that was supposed to have been done in the Egmondville bridge area to clean it up by employees of the authority. The deputy reeve called it "a real eyesore".When Mr. Sillery was unable to report on this. road superintendent Allan Nicholson said that one day some workers arriv- ed unannounced to do some work but left early and never returned or reported. He said. "The Authority owes us time on this project." Mr. Sillery spoke about the assistance program offered by the authority on minor erosion control projects with technical expertise and financial assistance cover- ing 50 per cent of the cost up to $1.000, helping to imple- ment projects such as grass- ed waterways, retorestation on farm land to combat wind and water erosion and as windbreaks around buildings and fields and to increase the water holding capacity of the soil. Two new councillors attended a recent seminar for newly elected council members -John Brownridge and Jim Papple. They reported that they were told that a council should have a policy book and a by-law book for the information of all members of council and especially new members. They were told that a map of the township would be help- ful with drains marked and other information included. Councillor Brownridge suggested that Karen McEwing, director of the Vanastra day care centre and Diane Durnin, manager of the Vanastra recreation centre, should report to council regularly. He suggested that one at- tend a council meeting one month and the other the se- cond month to keep members informed and to answer questions. He pointed out that the road superintendent, Allan Nicholson, attends council meetings to report to coun- cil. Three Vanastra property owners attended the council session. Mrs. Nellie Gonie, Harvey Hammond and Leslie Graham. They com- plained about the snow on Vanastra roads which made them hazardous for driving, especially at the corners. Mrs. Gonie said she had been stuck three times and had barely avoided an acci- dent and asked that a grader be used to clear the snow. The road superintendent agreed. Mr. Hammond and Mr. Graham complained about "a bad dog problem at Vanastra." Mr. Hammond the spokesman, said that some people carried sticks to ward off dogs running at large. He said, "We're not get- ting coverage, we have dogs running at large right on the dog catcher's street, even his own dog!" At the request of Reeve Bell council went into com- mittee of the whole and the road superintendent; Mr. Hammond, the only visitor left in thecouncilchambers, and the press reporter had to leave the meeting for the icy chill of the corridor. When the door was finally opened for us to return we were told the council had agreed on action. but council refused to report on the committee -of -the whole meeting.
