all renovations approved
A resolution to give the Hensall
municipal building a $60,000 facelift
passed unanimously and without any
furor or fanfare at the regular
January meeting of the village coun-
cil. None of the people who had pack-
ed the council chamber at the' public
meeting in December returned to
witness the voting.
Clerk Betty Oke has applied for
government grants on that portion of
the cost which will improve access to
the library by providing an indoor
ramp, and for a washroom accessible
to the handicapped. She said money
is available for either half or one-third
of the cost, depending on the
classification assigned to the project.
All agreed with Butch Hoffman's
suggestion that a mailing slot be in-
cluded in the renovations so tax
payments and other documents could
be safely dropped in during times
such as lunch hours when the
municipal office is closed.
The draft zoning bylaw, incor-
porating certain changes made as the
result of a public meeting, was pass -

The local community channel on
cable TV is being programmed from
the clerk's office on a temporary
basis. Sheila Reaburn relinquished
the job at the end of December after
voluntarily doing the programming of
local events since cable TV came to

made "to take it in here rather than
lose it altogether".

Postal rates
increased
Canada Post Corporation has
released details of proposed new
rates, including a two -cent increase
in the basic letter rate, to take effect
April 1.
The new letter rate will be 36 cents.
Most other postal fees and services
would also rise but the majority of
new revenues would come from com-
mercial and competitive servies. Let-
ters to the U.S.A. will be 42 cents.
. As previously announced, the letter
rate increase is less than the rise in
the Consumer Price Index continuing
a four year trend. In addition there
will be no increase on post office lock
boxes and on some other commonly
used services such as ch of ad-
dress. The five -cent �tmas
greeting card discount for.rspecial
postal coded envelopes will also
continue.
The Corporation expects the rate
proposals to generate approximately
$127 million in additional revenue a
year to offset continuing pressure
from inflation and household growth
and to further reduce public funding.
The Government funded postal
operating deficit was $184 million last
year. These subsidies are to end After
March 31, 1988.

Good day everyone. Here we are
once again to bring you up to date on
all the activities that have taken place
in the past week at Queensway. To
begin, our week started with one of
the best games every invented -
Bingo. We spent one enjoyable hour
visiting and playing bingo.
Tuesday morning, was once again
time for our early morning exercises.
In the afternoon Reverend Knight
paid us a visit for our Tuesday after-
noon church service, which focused
on our brand new year:
Wednesday afternoon we all clap-
ped, snapped and wiggled to the best
of our favourite songs during our
Music Hour and at the same time had -
a super visit.
Ceramics was the Thursday after-
noon activity. With the help of Lillian
Baker and the artistic efforts of the
participants, we all had a great hour
and a half of ceramics.
Thursday evening was the return of
our Movie of the Week "Ballerina",
This week our movie guides us
through several days and nights of a
ballerina's dedication to his/her art
It was truly inspirational.
To end our week we became part of
a new program called "The Sharing
of Stories". Several of us sataround
while some taught and some learned
and discussed the "good 'ole days".
It was an eye-opener of a discussion
to say the least.
Well, that is it from Queensway.
Hope you all have a super week, and
look for us next week to catch up on
all our activities at Queensway. Un-
til then take care and keep smilin'.

Value of building iermits triples
Buliding
boom
Hensall is in the midst of a building
boom.
A great number of people decided
to take the advice of the Hensall
Economic Development Committee
to "Join us in Hensall; be a part of our
growth". Building permits with a
total value of 8820,000 were issued in
1986, a dramatic increase from the
previous year's total of 8249,000.
Four new homes accounted for
$310,000. Brad Oke Development
Inc. 's renovation of the former hard-
ware store and construction of a new
apartment building represented more
than half of the $8416,000 value of per-
mits issued for garages and commer-
cial projects. The value of permits for
additions and repairs totalled $94,000.
The momentum has carried over
into 1987. Building inspector Herman
Van Wieren reported to the January
council meeting that permits totalling
a further 8120,000 had been issued
Pay increases
Pay raises for both elected officials
and village employees were approv-
ed at a special meeting of Hensall
council. The pay scale for 1987 (with
the previous year's in brackets)
means the reeve will receive an an-
nual honorarium of $1,050 (81,000),
and councillors' stipends will be $900
i$850). The rate for whole day special
meetings goes from 873 to $90, while
he 1986 rate of 830 for special night
eetings and $45 for special one-half
y meetings remains unchanged.
Council appointees will still receive

te led. and committee chairmen will
