Wednesday, March 31, 2010 Orono Weekly Times - 3 CHICKENS Continued from front report. Pillinger's response to the odour issue was that three chickens produce significantly less waste and fewer odours than the average Golden Retriever. Committee members did not ask Pillinger any questions following her presentation, nor did they ask staff any questions about their report at Monday's meeting. The recommendations adopted by committee Monday will receive final approval at the April 12th council meeting. INTERGRITY Continued from page 2 like these in an election year that people actually believe them? This election will go a lot smoother if the politicians stop the lying early on. And it would be nice to have an integrity commissioner right now so Mr. Foster's "inaccurate" comments could be reported to him. That's why we need one. Luke Prout, Kendal Students at The Pines celebrated Earth Hour at lunch time on Friday by playing strategy games without hydro.

DREDGING Continued from front Reduce Reuse Recycle gled with this report and was torn on whether or not the municipality should be providing some kind of financial assistance to this initiative as the public boat launches do provide an economic benefit to the municipality. According to Kreasul, the economic impact from 1,500 launches at the Port Darlington boat ramp creates $1-million in economic spinoffs to the local economy. "One of the concerns we have," Councillor Adrian Foster told Kreasul, "is using taxpayer money to provide a benefit to people who can afford boats." Councillors debated the option of initiating a user- pay system as utilized at the Port of Whitby. Boaters pay a $10 fee to launch at the Whitby public boat launch, committee members were informed. Committee talked about sending the report back to staff to investigate cost recovery options, but rather than make a decision, they tabled the report until the April 26th General Purpose & Administration Committee meeting.
