Interested area in sura nee agents should have a chance to bid for the Town of Halton Hilts business according to London Life Insurance representative William Carney Speaking to members of council last Tuesday evening Carney said he read in the paper that West was the towns broker and felt other interested agents should have a chance to quote on the contract Knox Alert intention to preclude anyone from making a bid He noted West engages a consultant to assist in reviewing policies and the town needs outside experience to determine which policies give the best value for the money because Insurance is such a complex field said they would not reconsider their choice but would allow bids from the market far 1982 and offer the business to all agents on equal basis Carney said he was speaking as an individual and as a representative for London Life but not for other agents who had spoken to him but did not offer him any support during his presentation to council There wasnt any favoritism and I dont respect any Insurance agent who wont come forward and air their views rather than talking behind our backs That really makes me boil Pomeroy said Bake sale planned The Knox Alert

from MAI Canada Limited the lowest tender Debbie on a rural route op before Itefion council last week to dispute the a three dav deer hunt in to three statements which emanated from region on the need for one following Is the complete text of her presentation Honorable Council Members The issues discussed in order will be firstly the hopes of cutting back the high numbers of deer in Halton and Flam borough Townships secondly that the controlled hunt remain with the same standards of supervision as in the 1980 hunt and lastly that there was little or no objection to another threeday deer hunt Cutting back on high numbers of deer It is unfortunate that Terry that the be deferred until a meeting was set up with the Ministry Natural Resources To save you time I have taken the liberty to research the sit with greater detail Quoting Mrs Nan cy Tilt the Ministrys biologist on deer manage ment there is no way of estimating the number of deer in this region Also there has not been a done for a long time on this topic dimming and 1970 Nevertheless she intends to conduct crude report for 19B2 two criteria by which the Ministry assumes that there are herds of deer is by road slaughter and by business farmers complaints Nancy Tilt agreed that she had not taken the variable of increase of traffic volume into con when me with deer road slaughter counts My investigation found these parallelisms interesting Deer Road Slaughter Nancy Tilt jurisdiction of MNR Cambridge branch 1900 deer 1979270 deer 1978350 deer i960 7 deer Traffic volume in crease Fit Harris Ministry of Transportation and Com munication Road Sec Hon Road to Churchill Acton random sample 24 count Road Section Trafalgar Road to 197937000 197835000 196010000 Mr Hunter of the approximated that there were accidents to In drivers in Halton in 198033 were fatal drivers only Doth employees did not feet that there was substantial evidence to create an ex to humans due to deer in fact there are just as many cattle large and small animal that cause collisions Moit deer olhsioni occur at night owing to the data tint the deer me hypnotized by headlights or vehicles and bolt towards the source It is not because there are herds of deer roaming our highways and by chance collide with car All roads are Eos ted for deer areas drivers should take caution Cutting back on high number of deer The second reason for the assumption that there is a large population of deer is founded on two noted farmers com plaints namely Chudieigh farm and a nursery It lb my understanding that it was because of these com plaints Uiat the 1960 hunt was initiated In the past Mr Chudieigh had reported herds of eating spring buds off fruit trees Henry Stanley a past hunter himself has spoken to him recently and learned that fewer deer have been seen in his fields this year approximately Mr Stanley paints a very bleak picture for the future of agriculture in He said that if these herds of deer are not controlled by at least five years of hunting most of the farmers in will leave After a five year period then a study should be dene on deer population Mr Stanley who live on 10 acres in close unity to Mr Bill Johnson has seen herds of deer on his land Whereas Mr Johnson has not Mr Stanley also expressed his concern that the deer are spreading Leptospirosis and are killing liveslock This suggestion cannot stand us another reason to hunt the deer as any mammal such as muskrat coy dogs and cattle themselves spread this disease I should remind council that the MNR report on 1380 hunt provided that the taken and examined were healthy A more serious that the council should consider that if the known population of deer are out drastital ly the coy dogs and coyotes will turn to local farmers livestock for a food source Then there will undoubtedly be a greater hue andcry Controlled and To clarify to the council what supervised meant to the MNR for nil the region for and Town ships in the 1980 hunt there were five con accompanying deputy two to a car and one stationed at check station As well only 108 deer were reported killed to he Ministry the other were result of random phone calling Yet they arc aware that at least deer have been poach not to mention how many hunters took two deer or did not bother to report their kill Mrs Tilt also clarified that the regulations for obtaining licence for a hunt are a written and gun handling tests She admits that there is no testing of marksmanship Therefore one might question how many in competent hunters are roaming our properties My husband is a large iinimol Veterinarian and has had the grotesque ex penence when a deer had dragged itself to a citizens back yard with its face blown apart by poor marksmanship rhcre are also many farmers who have their livestock shot at by such inept hunter Could the next accident be a human Whose shoulders does that fall upon objection With less than one week to prepare opposition to council on their decision for yet another deer hunt we have collected letters from those who are less fortunate to be here today If need be we will put together a peti tion to further prove to council that there is ma or concern Therefore we appeal for an lo present the council and the a poll the 3day deer hunt proposed for 1981 Pi haps the council could consider another of keeping all tax pavers happy by control ling deer on those farms who are afflicted by the Iters presence Game wardens could skillfully control the deer in these afflicted areas doing this those residents and farmers who welcome the deer will not have to put up with their fences being trodden down yards lit intimidation by hunters not to mention for their lives in closing I would like to assert that urban sprawl has forced the white tailed deer to a favorable reservoir the Niagara Escarpment Hence a population of deer In Ontario have found refuge in our woods We must consider that the Ministry at pre sent has no way of know ing deer mortality due to predators peaching and attrition I sincerely appreciate the grievances of certain farmers but to open another threeday deer hunt to the entire area may weaken or destroy the unknown number of courts ecological of wildlife in deer To quote the Nature down as if he were particular the deer I feel ConservanCj of Canada munc lo its consequence impelled to appeal to man has abused nature He acts as if he were not a to review these to the point where very member of the system issues which I have little remains Man In order to maintain the presented It is obvious that more substantial evidence and scientific study is required The decision Is now Mrs Debbie Kilmer fear of fatality officers with a Propane for police cars savings expected A realistic assessment of fuel costs may have been overlooked in this years police budget The question of whether or not the Police Commission budgeted realistically for rising fuel costs for an expanded fleet In was brought to the fore with a presentation on the possible benefit of converting Ihe patrol cars to propane Research and Planning Officer Dave Richards in explaining the cost savings or converting the patrol fleet to propane noted that according to his figures there is a real possibility we under- budgeted in fuel Chairman of the Police Commission Mayor Harry Barrett responded that the money budgeted for oil and gas was based on a historical figure The money allocated for oil and gas amounts to this year a per cent Increase over what was spent in Seven or eight new patrol cars will be added to the fleet but those cars were token into account when the budget was made up said Mr Barrett The cost of oil and gas will probably increase by at least per cent said Senior Policy Advisor Hank Galka of the Mln of Energy IVadlfHcuTttosaybul looking at the current trend things arc only go ing to gel worse Mayor Barrett con tends that the new cars and the added rise in fuel costs will be overridden since the new cars being tendered will have smaller engines The savings will again be compounded with the proposal of six cars being converted to propane Church
