MIT('HEIJ.2 CH ISbJJ1URs'1' 2 Mitchell Mastangs at times, resemble the old grey mare instead of their team nickname. However, the ponies put together a solid two-way effort this night out and held ('hiselhurst to a surprising 2-2 standoff. After a great leap out of the starting blocks, ('hiselhurst has stumbled in recent weeks like a chap who has had too much Christmas hooch. All four goals were accounted for during the initial stanza and it looked like the match would turn int() a whoever gets the last shot wins tune of thing. That was not to be though, MERRY CHRISTMAS as both teams looked tentative during, what could be termed, a careful final period. IA's Falconer and Mike Maloney had the Christmas nmrkcrs Scoring for the Mustangs were Robert Anderson and John Schade. KNIGHTS t 11.'I'. ROYALS 1 The meek shall inherit the themearth irs last ut in broomball, all they get place in the standings. 11.'T. Royals have slackened off consider- ably since an exciting upset win over ('hiselhursl three games ago and were subdued early by Kinkora Knights last Thursday. The Knights came out like the blues Brothers on a mission from you know who and wrecked the Royals by a 4-1 score. 'I'hc boisterous Kinkora side seemed to have recovered sufficiently enough from a previous 0-1 thumping by Cll. F cpress to easily overwhelm the sedate fur team. Jim Nyenhuis, Richard 'rernpleman, Joe Dorssers and Doug Eidt did the damage for the greyshirts. Wade Riley had the lone Royal marker. I.AIIIF:S BROOM BAIL QUEENS 3 W INTllltol t Any similarity between the W inthrop team that held Pauline to a 0-0 tie and the one that resoundingly fell 3-1 to the Queens last week is purely coincidental. The normally solid Winthrop club collap- sed under immense pressure by a Queens outfit that, maybe, performed their best effort to date. The final score read :3.1 in Queens favor but it flattered the opposition who were never really a par of this one, 'l'he losing club was clustered in their own end for so long they must have suffered trom claustrophobia. Cheryl Kruse had a pair for the Queens ladies while Denise Morey, in combination with Teresa Finlayson, added a pretty solo breakaway effort. Dianne Anderson was the only shooter to crack the solid Queens defence. COM MERCIAI,O PERTH 0 Santa is a sucker for a pretty face. He winked and smiled wickedly while slipping this present under the Commercial ladies tree. W hat he has against Perth is unclear because they outran, outhustled and outplay- ed Commercial every inch of the way and should have come away a winner. In much the same way, Commercial approached this contest with the same indifference as Winthrop did in theirs. Color this holiday blue for Commercial. The Perth women can only hope the great effort can be a sign of things to come in '87.

The only resemblance this organization hears to the chubby one from the North Pole, is in uniform color. They weren't about to play a gift giver to, the weakest team in the ladies division. Pauline allowed just a couple of harmless shots on net and while their netminder was suffering the effects of frostbite and possible hypothermia, Dianne Vanneste, in between' the Farmers pipes, was anything but cold. She kept the score respectable with a number of sharp saves. Five different snipers shared the redshirts seining. Heidi .Elliott, Sandra Fiemlin, Sharon Whitfield, Glenda Howson and Joan Henderson all played Grinches that stole the Junior Farmers Christmas, RENT REVIEW UPDATE F0R TflNANTS AND DWORDS The Ministry of Hous' :announces Rent Review Guideline for 1987 The Rent Review Guideline for next year has been calculated at 5.2 per cent. This is the amount by which a landlord can increase the maximum rent for a unit during 1987 without approval from the Ministry of Housing. In passing the Residential Rent Regulation Act, 1986, the Ontario Government has created a new system of rent review for the Province of Ontario to increase protection for tenants and to encourage the construction of new rental housing. One of the important features of this new legislation is a Rent Review Guideline that reflects changes in inflation and promotes proper building maintenance for tenants. The major features of the Residential Rent Regulation Act are: • The extension of rent review to cover all private rental units in Ontario. • The creation of a streamlined rent review process, designed to be accessible, quicker and ensure consistency. •The establishment �f a fleadble Rent Review Guideline, adjusted annually to reflect changes in inflation and other economic factors. • The creation of an Ontario -wide Rent Registry to record the maximum legal rent for every rental unit in the province. • A Residential Rental Standards Board to ensure the proper maintenance of all rental properties in Ontario. The Guideline has changed. Until now, the Guideline has been a fixed amount that did not change with economic conditions. The new Rent Review Guideline will be adjusted annually. It will be calculated using the most up-to-date components of the Consumer Price Index and other economic indicators. And it will apply to all rental units in the province. How the new Rent Review Guideline is calculated. • The formula used to calculate the 5.2 per cent Guideline for 1987 is based on changes in the cost of maintaining a typical well - nm rental building. • The new Guideline calculates the average change in costs over the preceding three- year period. *Tenants receive greater protection in times of high inflation. • Landlords have sufficient funds for good building maintenance. A new Residential Rental Standards Board will help ensure proper maintenance of rental units through- out Ontario, and failure to meet these standards may result in either suspension or forfeiture of rent increases. Tenants can apply for a review of rent increases that are at or below the Guideline. 'Tenants who wish to challenge a 5.2 per cent Guideline increase may a ly to the Ministry of Housing for rent revieW on such grounds as changes in the standard of maintenance and repairs. Landlords are required to justify a rent increase greater than the Guideline. A landlord who requests more than the 52 per cent Guideline increase must apply to the Ministry of Housing for rent review to justify the increase. The landlord and tenants will review the matter with staff of the Ministry of Housing at a local Rent Review Office. A decision reached at the local level may be appealed by either the tenant or landlord to the newly - created Rent Review Hearings Board. The Guideline will be announced by August 31 each year. In future, the Ministry of Housing will announce the Guideline by August 31 for the upcoming year. Some landlords have already served their tenants with notices of a rent increase due early in 1987. Tenants in buildings constructed after 1975 are protected for the first time. These are tenants whose units are being brought under rent review by this Act.. • Landlords who have charged tenants more than the Guideline since August 1, 1985, will be given a 60 -day period early in the new year to justify these increases. • Landlords not applying to rent review within the 60 -day period must rebate excess rents to tenants. • For the present, tenants should pay the amount requested in the notice from their landiord until the matter is resolved by rent review. • Under no circumstances should tenants make immediate deductions from their rent cheques. Ontario Ministry of Housing Hon. Alvin Curling, Minister Send today for more information about the new Rent Review Guideline Only one rent increase allowed annually. • Landlords must give tenants at least 90 days written notice of a rent increase. • The rent for a unit can be increased only once in a 12 -month period. Tenants in buildings constructed before 1976 continue to be protected. These are tenants whose units were under rent review prior to the passage of the new Act and whose units continue to be under rent review. • If the landlord's rent notice is for less than the 52 per cent Guideline, the tenant should pay the amount in the notice. • If the landlord's rent notice is for more than the 52 per cent Guideline, the most the tenant should pay is 52 per cent. • If the landlord has applied to the Residential Tenancy Commission for a 1986 rent increase but has not yet received a final order, the tenant should pay the amount in the landlord's notice or 4 per cent, whichever is less. • If the landlord has been to rent review and has received a decision, the tenant must pay the amount approved by the Residential Tenancy Commission.
