ACTON Proud member of the Canadian Jiu Jitsu Association (519)853-2424 Gain Respect, Self Confidence, Self Defense, Fitness & Fun David Wickett, Acton, maintenance mechanic My first job was in a ware- house, and I quickly learned to show up, on time, every day. I learned that early, and continued it with other jobs. Pearl Long, Milton, Halton clerk I worked for a grocery store and I was on the egg counter, and if anything, that taught me that I had to get a career that was better than serving eggs to people. Paul Bedard, Acton, factory worker I was a dishwasher in a restaurant, starting when I was 13 right up until I was 22. I liked it its nice to be able to cook at home. Id still be in the restaurant business if the money was better. Dina Braun, Georgetown, business development I did market research, surveys in malls when I was 15, and that helps me today being able to talk with people easily and com- fortably, promoting the company and selling all of the services that we offer.

Electricity consumers will be able to choose from a variety of incentives across the complete spectrum of energy efficient products and services from retiring their power hungry refrigerators to tuning up their central air conditioners. These programs represent the largest coordinated ef- fort Ontario has ever made to encourage consumers to use less electricity, said Paul Shervill, a Vice Presi- dent of the Ontario Power Authority. By combining offers and watching their own electric- ity habits, consumers qualify for a 10 percent credit on their electricity bills, au- tomatically, if they reduce their current consumption by 10% over the same period last year. The first of Ontarios 2007 Spring Electricity Conser- vation initiatives went in the mail last week. It is the Spring Every Kilowatt Counts program. The OPA is mailing incentive coupons valued at $44 for energy efficient productsto every household in Ontario. The coupons are redeemable at over 3,000 retail outlets in more than 400 communi- ties across Ontario. The Ontario Power Authority is promoting and operating this program in collabora- tion with local electricity distributors. In addition to the Every Kilowatt Counts program, the OPA is launching a series of other programs through- out the summer months: Cool Savings Rebate Air conditioning uses a large amount of electric- ity and is one of the main reasons that summer has become the peak season for electricity demand. The Cool Savings Rebate available now provides homeowners with rebates if they tune-up their central air conditioners, or towards the installation of ENERGY STAR-qualified central air conditioning systems, programmable thermostats and furnaces equipped with electronically commutated motors. The Great Refrigerator Roundup The Great Refrigerator Roundup is designed to remove older, inefficient fridges from the electricity system. Refrigerators col- lected through the program will be disposed of in an en- vironmentally safe manner, resulting in a significantly reduced contribution to local land fill. The peaksaver * Program The peaksaver program assists qualified Ontarians, and their local electricity utility, to install a device in their home that allows the utility to briefly control their central air conditioning system during critical peak timestypically weekday afternoons during the hottest days of the summer. Program participants will receive a $25 incentive payment for signing up. Summer Savings Another rebate, called Summer Savings is based on last years highly success- ful pilot project by Toronto Hydro. The program will run from July 1, 2007 until August 31, 2007. Participat- ing residents who meet the program requirements will receive a 10 per cent credit on an upcoming electricity bill.
