Newsenior housing project Continued from Front Page 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 housing. Council, relying on a study carried out last year by Woods -Gordon consultants and later adopted by the '0,.,"!"%#4//03.,:i,i,yfl 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. ti F4 E.

ERES HOW 10 SAVE IG DOLLARS WHEN YOU BUY CALAPP __ ( �__� I GOOD THINGS 1 HAPPEN ' WHEN YOU HELP'' 1 RED CROSS 1 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. Mail to: Government of Canada Energy, Mines and Resources Canada P.O. Box 3500, Postal Station ",c'• Ottawa, Ontario K I Y 4G1 am interested in receiving the Energuide Directory for the following appliances: Refrigerator, Freezer, Range ❑ Clotheswasher, Dishwasher 0 Surname (Please !mit) 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. ' rc,ccl, 12:3l5t7890 , .x 4/ 123 <�r, =ttyperIt,;nJ-,w`. t;1 J'ilfl .pnrl I. Jt; ror�lr i,; , !ii9'1,7?•X� •lnr�fl': xn,rirr ,s t` ,Jx' rc r 123 c' 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. TWO REFRIGERATOR EXAMPLES Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada publishes each year the Energulde ratings for new appliances.
