The project will shut the vil- lage off, except to local traffic, from July 5 to August 31 and will deal with a number of up- grades and changes required by growth in the village. ~ For residents concerned about how those changes may affect them, the municipality is hold- ing an Open House at the new fire hall on June 23 from 4 to 7 p.m. to answer their questions. Starting July 5 contractors will upgrade sewers and water mains along the main street. Guelph/Eramosa__ public works manager Larry Van Wyck said the project is expected to take eight weeks and the road will be reopened in time for school buses on August 31. ne tacos told The New Tan- e ewer and water lines were enemy laid through village much of the trenching ~hiad to be blasted because it was done literally in rock. To save work, the lines were laid in the same trench. Now when new sewers must be installed, the water lines have to come up first because they're on top of the ~'Sewers. New sewers must be installed because of the new subdivision in the village's south end. The lines are not big enough and the degree of fall needs to be in- creased from the bridge south to Carol Street, he said. The project is being funded entirely The Rockw by the developers, the Seaton" group, he said, and was tendered last year. Because the pipe is on the west side of the road and the water tower is on the east side, temporary water lines have been installed to maintain flow to the tower for fire protection and prevent interruption of service to residences during the upgrad- ing process. Seaton was also required by the Ministry of Highways to widen Highway 7 fora left turn lane from Frederick Street to south of MacLennan Street. That will be done at the same time as the sewer project. Sewer connections will also be made for the next phase of the Seaton subdivision. Also, the Carol Street sewer is too small to meet the needs of the Bernardi subdivision west of the wiles so that sewer will almost é ESHA FE ined along the Manse easement. The MacLennan Street pumping station is also to be replaced and relocated to beside the ponds in the Bernardi sub- division preparatory to extending MacLennan Street. That will also involve new sewer connections for MacLennan Street residents. All candidates give straight answers to queries at meeting By Maggie Petrushevsky The New Tanner Given apparent voter cyni- cism, it's a bit confusing to see local candidates present more straight answers than their party leaders, but that's what happened at the all candidates meeting at Rockwood's Rockmosa Community Centre on Tuesday evening, June 22. Unlike participants in the national leaders' debate tel- evised a week ago, local candidates for the five parties : ae voter support in Wel- placed their emphasis on looking their constituents in the eye and telling it as they saw it rather than trying to score points off each other.

While one man complained that not everyone present had farm connections, audience questions provided lots of scope to display party poli- cies beyond those related to agriculture. All parties fell into line on a surprising number of issues, such as whether troops should be sent into Iraq. No one would send them to fight but everyone supported their use as peacekeepers and for rebuilding the country. All the parties also support putting strings on health care transfer payments to ensure the provinces meets assorted requirements such as reduced waiting times for some medi- cal procedures, ensuring implementation of the Health Accord, and making sure new technologies such as MRIs Win first two tilts Halton Hills Rams Masters Lacrosse team competed in the St.Catharines Masters Lacrosse tournament recently. The Rams opened on Friday night with an impressive 15-6 win over Hamilton. Saturday afternoon the Rams faced off against Owen Sound. At the end of regulation tiime, the game was tied 10 all. After a five minute overtime period the score was tied 11 all. Next came a shootout with each team selecting five shooters. Both teams scored once during the shootout. It was decided to continue the shootout in a sudden death for- mat. The first player for the Rams was Steve Turkosz who scored on an over-the-shoulder shot. Ryan Young, the Ram goalie, was then able to shut down the Owen Sound player to give the Rams the win. On Sunday the Rams once again faced Owen Sound after losing a game Saturday evening to Whitby. In the rematch Owen Sound was able to defeat a shorthanded Ram team in an- other close game. The Rams next tournament is the first weekend in July at Huntsville.
