While hunters prepare with enthusiasm for a sport that challenges their skills and invigorates their senses, families of hunters, farmers, safety authorities and healîli specialists wait with fear and anxiety. In their brief encounter with nature, untrained hunters do more damage 10 property and health than they do to prey. As they stalk the elusive, reward, lîîtle is safe. Everyîhing and anything that walks, makes a noise,or mere ly exists is subject to being shot. That includes other hunters, domestie animais, the sides of barns, bilîboards ... and even the hunier himnself - self- inflicted.

Un Ward 111 RF&E-ELECI Edward R. Wo odyard Re gional Council The man with the most municipal experience Report of Council'Activities in 1977 and 1978. When the present councîl took'office in 1977, it was operating without a Treasurer, due to a previous resignation. Also there was no chief executive officer, now was there a confidential secretary for the Mayor's Office. These vacancies had an inhibiting effect on the efficiency of council, and piaced an intolerable workload on the existing staff at that time. The Planning department also did not have the proper complement of staff to operate effectively. Due to these conditons, your council was forced to implement short term measures to expedite the clearing of probiemsexisting at that time. The action taken by council was somewhat costly, as it necessitated the engaging of consultants for planning purposes, with many planning matters as weil as matters of a generai nature having to be referred. to outside legal firms for clarification and finalization. To correct these conditions in the future, and iwth a long-term plan to become more efficient, and save many dollars for the taxpayer, it was necessary for council to take action, by replacing in some cases, and acquiring in other instances, the foilowing personnel: April, 1977 . . .The Treasurer (position was vacant). October, 1977 ... .Town Manager (new position) February, 1978. .. By-Law offîcer (replacing retiree) May, 1978 ... Planning Director (replacement) May, 1978 . . . Confidential Secretary (new position) August, 1978. . . Planning technician (adjusted position) October, 1978 . ..Planning Draftsman (new position) My recommendations to the new Council for 1979 and 1980: 1. Due to the new complement of staff in the top administration office, and in the planning department, district plans for hamlets, and related work, should be done by present staff, thereby saving many thousands of dollars in consultants' fees. 2. Caution should be exercised to see that departments do not become overstaffed, and bureaucratic. 3. A complete revamp of the zoning by-laws, with the four existing by-laws being consolidated into one comprehensive document should be done immed- iately. The new by-law should be drafted with a more common sense approach to the regulations and the needs of the general public. 4. Care should be taken to avoid duplication between local and regional regulations. 5. Applications should be made immediately to 5.> Applications should be made immediately to control excessively heavy traffic on certain roads and in hamiets where such taffic creates undue hardship and danger to local residents. 6. A comprehensive parking authority should be established for the areas of Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono and Wher ever else it is deemed necessary. 7. 1 would also recommend to council that a report be published semi-annually for public information stating that the council had accomplished to date, and what they were. forecasting for future consideration. mil
