Winter is here again, and with it once

1 council meeting, Councillor John
Rempel brought the subject up, to dis-

solution.
“I believe that we need to do more in
the area of snow removal,” said Rem-

budgeted for snow removal and this

Bears and Colts “I’m very concerned that a $200,000
increase in this budget works out to a
two per cent (increase) on taxes. It’s
curious that I think most, if not all of
council, ran on the premise in this last
election that we’re going to work on
reducing taxes, rather than increasing
them,” said Councillor Bob Sobol.
He is not in favour of increasing the
budget. He said from the people he has

Chocolate Bark The more you give the more you live
1 pound finely chopped white chocolate
½ cup dried cranberries
1 ¼ cup chopped nuts (your favorite)
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or waxed
paper.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering
water until smooth, stirring constantly. Stir in the cran-
berries & nuts and mix well.
Spoon onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading the
mixture out so all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Allow the chocolate to cool in refrigerator for about an
hour, until firm. Break bark into irregular pieces and
store in cookie tins or package in holiday Chinese food
