Wawanosh Winter Warriors
4-H Meeting
Minutes
Maisy Jefferson
The fourth meeting of
Wawanosh Winter Warriors
was held on January 24th,
2015 at the Belgrave Arena at
10:45am. The activity for this
meeting was broom -
ball. Members were all asked
to wear running shoes and
bring appropriate padding as
well as a helmet. Once all
members had arrived, Mary
Ellen then introduced 2
potential future members
who were trying out the club,
as well as past members that
had come for the meeting.
While everyone was get-
ting their broomball equip-
ment on, Sarah Alexander
led the 4-H pledge, which
was followed by roll
call. Mary Ellen Foran went
over some of the rules, and
showed the equipment used
for broomball. Once every-
one was ready to go, they
grabbed a broom and the
leaders grabbed the balls.
Everyone then got on the
ice and took a lap to get a feel
for running and balancing
on the ice. Next members
took turns carrying the ball
around pylons and shooting
on the net. Members were
divided into teams and Mary
Ellen assigned people to
positions. All participants
had fun and they were glad
to have 2 subs on each team
for breaks. Most members
saw a large improvement in
their playing ability as they
became more familiar with
the rules and strategy and
became more comfortable
running on the ice. The game
was over at noon and the
members retired back to the
dressing room for juice and
cookies. For the next meet-
ing, members are to meet at
Benmiller Falls Reserve on
Family day for snowshoeing
at 10:15am.
Letter to the editor
More Wind Power
will Increase
Hydro Rates
A group of councillors from
a dozen Ontario municipali-
ties is very disturbed at the
rapidly increasing cost of
electricity. They are question-
ing the government's energy
policy that was rushed
through without adequate
analysis or examination, jus-
tified by an ideology rather
than a comprehensive
business case. They point out
that our electricity has now
become the most expensive
in North America, seriously
threatening our prosperity.
And yet we are subsidizing
New York and Michigan
because we have to sell
much of the wind energy
which is available when it
cannot be used, at below
market prices and less than
what it costs us to produce.
Ina letter to the Minister
of Energy, the IESO and the
Auditor General, Mark Davis,
Chair of the Multi -municipal
Wind Turbine Working Group
has called on the Ontario
government and the IESO
(Independent Electricity Sys-
tem Operator) to drop a pro-
posal to add even more wind
energy to the grid. "The sky-
rocketing cost of electricity
is having adverse impacts on
our manufacturing industry,
commercial enterprise, agri-
cultural viability, and many
families are forced to choose
between paying utility bills
and buying groceries", Davis
said.
"We are calling on the
Government of Ontario and
the IESO to make a sober re-
evaluation of the damage
current energy policy is
doing to our economy. We
believe spiralling electricity
costs urgently need to be
halted. We are requesting
full objective third -party
cost -benefit analysis before
there is any further procure-
ment of wind or solar capac-
ity", the letter states.
