OUONO WEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMJBER I7tx, -1971 Orono, Ont., Wcd., Nov. 10, 1971 To Thle Editor: Witb, bunting season now upon us, would it be too much to ask your paper to please spare us the ecstacy of looking at pictures and reaCing accounts 'of local Nimrods who have been successful in bringing, down specimens of our wild life in the annual faîl assault. Inu these days oýf turmoil. withl the captains of tbe corporate state (both foreign and domestic) so busy disrupting river courses, lo11fing everything in sîgbt (ir- lungnational parks), convuls- ing the eartb's crust with Mtomie explosions, strip mining in the South and rampaging to the ten- uous North in search of minerais and foqsil fuels, surely the time bas corne to reassess some of these practices and develop a different mental attitude towards the species of wild life that stili re- main. Fcor the man wbo needs meat to feed a -d 'rived famiiy, hunt- ing eau indee d le a necessity. Possibiy if the "sportsmen" of the South can. be induced to curb the urge to go on these "ego trips", there wilI be a more abundant supply of meat in the winter lard- er of tbeWoodland Indians who we have crowded almost to the edge of oblivi an. And, even in the iess remote arcas, does it flot make better sense that surplus venison sbould end up on the tables, of local white residents rather than in the well stocked freezers of fat cats from the in- dustrial towns. No, the concept that depicts utinl s a "sport" was-imported' Iylle. white mari from Europe i few dlecades ago - and its im- ine-diate effect was the slaughter of the gra bfflo !herds nthe prairie ranige . Toda te nto is ti.beiu-g fostered by the muntios iterstswho hav'e bul-ý let, gnsand expenisive para- prniato seli at a price. Rlas the time not arrived when those who seek to fire this primi- tive urge bv readjing sucb magaz- ines as Ma le, Argosy,Field and Streamn, etc. should turn to works on field biology, outdoor photo- graphy and ecological self pres- ervation? No persona] offense, meant to anybody - but it's a thought. Coming generation may be tbankful. Warren Lowes. Leskard, Nov. 10, 1971 In view- of the marked change for the worse in conditions of traf fie in the area of the village of Leskard,,a petition was present-, ed to, Clarke Township Council on September 7th, requesting street lighting for the area. The Councîl at that time arranged for a survey by Ontario Hydro, and received its report on October 6. After October 20th, some residents were able to studycopies of this repo rt but there was not time for al to see it before the next meet- ing of Council. On November 2nd another del- egation from Leskard attended Council, when _Hydro's report was to be presented, to hear Council's opinion, but it was evident that a decîsion had been reached be- fore recelving the delegates. The ratepayers. nine in number, asic- cd that Council capîtalize the ex- pense of iightiug as it had donc for Kendal and NeWtonville, and recover the cost through assess- meut, over a period of time, of the" area's ratepayers. The reason for this request was that Ontario ilydro would charge at the rate of $38.00 per ligbt rier year if ilydro supplied the funds, while if Council capitalized it the cost towu by-law Leskard is zo:i d res- i I til which dos distiingLi.ýliî it from a considerable part of the Township, west or east. Cotincil assured the delegates of its cooperation, wbicb really meant, no liglits, unless the con-' munity agreed to pay the higher $38. rate. Council then suggested and arranged for- a ratepayers' meeting to bc held at Leskard on November 8th. Mr, Rex Walters, arca superin- tendent for Ontario Ilydro, spent ,n evening answering the quest- ions of ratepayers but the meet- ing was inconclusive and lacked direction due to many differing v7icipoints and the reluctance of some rateinayers to pay for facil- ities that would benefit many nire than those assessed. Twenty people representing eleven nrop- erties agreed to accept the lights on Council's terms. There are about tbirty residents in the area, with mo re in prospect, so that some properties were not repre- sndthough one ratepayer present bad the consent of five absentees. It appears that the con- sent of ail is necessary before Council will act. Although one councîllor, Mr. B., Chater. was present in bis ro]e of local rate- payer, Council was not officiaiiy represented at the meeting wbich it had set up. Mr. Walters pre- sente(I the Hydrocae but there wvas no opportunity for debate as between Counicil and property owners. The need for lighting in thîs area with its ioad curves, dark intersections and blind iises has become urgent as of the past two years. This is as much so in wint- ter as in 'sumner, due to the in- creased sn'owmobile actîvity. When cars are passing on the road, with snowmobiles (legaliy or nfot runnling on the snow- hol wapdestrian go? Sh)ould our cildre--n and teen-agers be required to sit ln the bouse tili bedtime? It is almost dark' when they get off the school buses. As the township road, prograrn im- proves, so do our hazards in- crease. When Council approv2s road work such as the recently improved road to Tyrone (thus drawipig in traffie from as far away as Highway No. 7) or when it widens and levels tbe north end of the Billings side road which bas only one house 'on it, 7does it ask fur a 100% approval of the township residents? No, it just *goes ahead, taxes us all, and, we pay, realizng that Council is tak- ing, a long-range view. When these, works bring, on ,week-ends,, incessant traffic froin Mosport and Higbway 115 into' this area. it does not seem f£air that Council sbould not Cooper- ate in relieving our problem. We have learned one thing, as a .resuit of our efforts, - that we are entirely at Councii's mercy, for Hydro can serve us only *trough the agency of Council, and s0 we must continue to stum-. hie around in the dark. It is not enough to be told "if we can help you in any way let us know." We have let Council know. Where do we go from heye?, Dorotby K. Holmes Oxford BICKLAYERS STONEMASONS WILLIE J.
