Newsenior housing project

County Housing Authority.
At that meeting the group
hashed out differences of
opinion between council
members on one side and the
OHC and county housing
authority on the other over
the actualneed for the

FAYE ANN FORSTER; acted as valedictorian at last Fri-
day night's commencement exercises held at the F. E.
Madill Secondary School. "Faye Ann reminisced about
her days in high school in her address. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ron Forster of RR 1,
Lucknow.
ministry, pointed to the con-
clusion which said there is a
need for seven geared -to -
income rental units and 17
market rental units.
OHC. and the housing
authority, on the other hand,
said their experience of this
area indicates it could be
difficult to keep all the units
oc.upied. They also ex-
,pres ed concern that a new
building might draw
prospective tenants away
from some of the existing
public housing, such as the
Bristol Terrace apartments,
making them a liability . to
the taxpayers.
. After being assured that
council still is interestedin
proceeding with a new
housing project, Mr.
Dowling promised to get the
wheels turning again.
"We're prepared to work
with you toward that,_goal,
with the caution that we have
to be prudent in doing that.
We don't want to get the
taxpayer in the situation of
having to support something
that's not needed."
"I think• weir-ewell aware
of that," James Currie,
chairman , of the ad"' tioc
committee, responded. ,.
Mr. Dowling. also noted
that nothing will happen in a"
hurry. It will beat least two
years before any units could
be ready, he said, and if the
ministry sees any evidence
that the need no longer
exists, it might stop the
project.
"At the rate we're going,
we'll have this thing built for
(Councillor) Tom (Miller) to
move into," commented
Richard LeVan, another
member of the committee.
RID FAREWELL TO MADILL—LLast Friday evening's commencement exercises at
the F. E. Madill Secondary School In Wingham marked the last time many students
will set foot in the school. A number of Grade 13 graduates got together for a final
picture together, 1n front, Heather Brent, Sherry Robertson and Lori Hackett; and, in
back, Pam McIntosh, Janice McMichael and Louise Gibson. The young man, Steve
Payneof Harriston, is a friend of one of the girls.
Mayor William Harris said
he wanted it made clear that
money for building the ap-
partments, as well as rent
subsidies and any operating
losses, would not come out of
the pockets of . Wingham
ratepayers, and he was
assured it all would be
financed by 'the federal and
provincial governments.
However Mr. LeVan point-
ed out the money still comes
out of people's pockets in the
end.
As the meeting wourdd
down, Jack Alexander, a
. member of the county.
housing authority, said he
thinks the committee has
taken the right step in
deciding to push ahead with
the project. But he added he
still would like to see the
need figures identified in the
Woods -Gordon report
. matched up against the
names on the authority's
waiting list to find out why
the report identified a need
greater than housing
authority figures would
support. • , •
-- In the interest of confiden-
tiality, the report does not
`mention names, but Mr
Dowling agreed to. have -a
crosscheck run .to clarify,'ie
discrepancy.
Earlier in the meeting, the
group had moved into a
elosed session to consider the
namdls of persons on the
housing authority list.
Mr. Alexander had com-
mented that, most iseniors
want to live ina ground floor
apartment, and will turn
down a unit on the • second
floor or in a building which
they consider inconvenient
'because of location or other
factors. -
"if you look at the names
of those who have°refused,
there's nobody left on the
list." _
Similar reservations were
expressed by Susan McCor-
mick, area manager for %I-
C, who said she foresees
problems. arising. from high
vacancy rates should ad•
ditional units be built.
"if you have a vacancy,
the taxpayers. suffer."
However Mayor Harris
said he did not foresee either
the taxpayers or private
sector landlords suffering.
Ten years down the road
there will be a staggering
number of senior citizens, he
said, adding that currently
there is a shortage of apart-
ments for younger people. If
seniors move into the public
housing, these apartments
become available to younger
people. he pointed out.
During the summer, the
housing ministry ran a
number of newspaper ad-
vertisements to check the
availability of private sector
apartments for seniors. but
Mr. Dowling said little
turned up. There were two
responses from local
property owners, one offe-
ring two. two-bedroom
apartments and the other a
bachelor apartment over a
store: neither was con-
sidered suitable for seniors.
Fie also said the ministry
had received a letter from a
local businessman express-
ing interest in developing
housing for seniors. hut this
too fell through.

LOOK FOR THE
ENERGUIDE LABEL
When you buy ;aimajor electrical appliance,
you're picking up tvm ppridde tags. One is thy'
cost of th ,appliance:'The other is the cost'of
the electricity to operate it over its lifetime.
Until recently the energy price tag
was missing. You paid Trow _but had
little idea of what you would go on paying.
,w there's a second tag, in the form of "
an Energuide label. •
WHAT IS ENERGUIDE?
Fner€ id'e is an appliance label-
ling p. )gram under which energy con-
sumption "stickers" are attached to new
refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers,
clothes washers, and kitchen ranges
offered for sale in Canada. The pro-
gram was initiated by the,Government
of Canada and is operated in co-opera-
tion with consumer groups, appliance
manufacturers and retailers, electrical
utilities and provincial governments.
Type and Defrost System
Model A —Two -door, top
mounted
freezer,
frost free
Model B —Two -door, top
mounted
freezer,.
frost free
Over a 1 5 -year lifetime Model A,
although slightly larger, would cost you
$842;40 for energy (at a constant 40/kWh).
Model B's energy cost would be $1,368.00.
That's a difference of $525.60!
WHEN MORE IS LESS
The appliance with the lower Energuide
ratings.may cost a little more to buy
—they usually have more insulation,
better motors, more sophisticated
controls. But as the above example
shows, the value of the energy they
save over their life cycle will pay for the
extra investment many times over.
So when you're shopping,for '
major appliances look at both tags, do a
little figuring and buy the model that will •
be cheapest over its life cycle— not just
the cheapest on its purchase price.
AN ENERGUIDE BONUS
FOR ALL
. Besides providing consumers with
information for comparison shopping, the
Energuide program is having another effect.
Appliance manufacturers are improving the
energy efficiency of their models. Already
there have been some notable irhprovements
and experts predict that within a few years
major appliances will be consuming about
40% less electricity—while providing the
same services. That's a powerful example of
how consumer power and industrial
innovation go hand in hand.

COMPARISON HOPPING
The whole idea behind Energuide is
to help you, the consumer, to compare the
energy cost tags of appliances and deter-
mine which is the best buy. Comparison shop-
ping and wise decisions can save you a great
deal of energy and money over the long run.
HOW DOES ENERGUIDE
WORK?
The label on each new appliance shows
the number of kilowatt hours of electricity
(kWh) consumed by that appliance in one
month of normal operation. This rating is
determined by a test developed by the
Canadian Standards Association for all
appliances labelled. The number is represent-
ative of the energy that the appliance will con-
sume under normal operation in your home.
it's not.exact; the test could never duplicate
precisely all the conditions in your home. But
'it is correct as acomparative rating, to
indicate the difference between models.

To convert the Energuide rating in kWh
to dollars, multiply by the cost of a kWh'in
your area. (The current national average is
40 per kWh.) This will give you the operating
cost for one month'
kWh per month x cents per kWh = cost
per month.
WORK OUT THE
LIFETIME COST
To really appreciate the importance of
Energuide ratings, figure out the lifetime
energy cost of the appliance. The average
major appliance lasts 15 years, or 180
months.
Multiply the cost per month by 180 and
the number you get will be impressive. And it
will be an underestimate, because it assumes
a constant electricity price over 15 years.
