The highlight game for the local team was the semi-final match, when the 'Stangs beat their rival team, the Kincardine Kinucks, 4-3. i Shelley McPhee photo Licence renewals.... 0 from page 1 their birthday in 1983. Owners whose birth- day falls between Jan. 1 and May 31, will buy stickers valid from Jan. 1, 1983 to their birthday in 19 '.. After that, renewal will be on their birthday each year and they'll pay for 12 months at a time. There will be a one-time fee of $25 for trailer registration. So, if selling a trailer, remove the plate and keep it for the next one. And color -coded renewal stickers will be used. They will prominently illustrate the month and year of expiry and be displayed on the upper right-hand corner of the rear licence plate of passenger vehicles. Stickers for commercial vehicles weighing 3,000 kg or less will be $72 a year. And stickers for commercial vehicles over 3,000 kg will remain on the quarterly renewal cycle under the existing fee struc- ture. As off March 31, 1983, the sticker will be displayed on the upper right-hand cor- ner of the front licence plate instead of on the windshield. Fees for cars in northern Ontario will be half the regular amount. The computer program also has a built- in system for payment of parking fines. Beginning June 1983, owners will be denied renewal if they have unpaid fines or if they've given the ministry an NSF cheque. However, owners will be notified when they get their invitation to renew approx- imately 45 days before their renewal date. The invitation will list any unpaid fines for which renewal may be denied. But owners won't have to make an inconvenient trip to the issuing office to make payment; they may simply pay the fines at the same time they renew. Beginning June 1, 1983, the system will offer a whole new range of combinations for personalized or "own choice" plates. The plates may have two to six characters (maximum of four if numerals only) which can be arranged in any combination of numbers and letters except those com- binations used on regular plates. And owners may order their own choice plates at any issuing office for an addi- tional fee. Besides enabling the ministry to have a more accurate and up-to-date record of vehicle registrations with which to res- pond to enquiries from the public, police and courts, the system has several other benefits. For example, parking tickets and summonses will no longer be sent to former owners of vehicles;: police will be able to identify motorists before stopping them and be alerted of possible danger; no more long lineups in February; and licence issuing agents will be able to replace lost or stolen permits on the spot. Like most computer programs, "Plate - to -Owner" promises to be fast, efficient and economical. Clinton council briefs Clinton council passed a resolution, requesting that certified engineering technicians take full responsibility for their work, without direct permission of a graduate engineer. The resolution was sent by the municipality of Iroquois Falls. The council there is opposed to the fact that all technical work must be closely supervised by an engineer. Councillor Jim Hunter explained that by having work done by engineering technicians and as well as graduate engineers, municipalities are facing extra costs. While the engineering technicians complete the work, municipalities must also pay engineering fees to have work "rubber stamped," he explained. Finacances It was noted in the financial statement that it cost $867.06 to construct a new holding cell at the police station. The cell is made out of steel and cement blocks. C sty By MlIena Lobb Hard to believe 1983 as here but at is. Don't look outside or you will think you live in a strange land Sure hope we are going to get an early spring as we were told and there isn't snow to shovel in June.
