The planning committee was considering a rezoning application that would have allowed the garage to remain within thirteen feet of the Orono stream and in the Food plain of the creek. The rezoning application was turned down and is being recommended to council that, they proceed with the mandatory mandatory injunction granted by the Supreme Court of Ontario on December 15,1978. The judgemënt from the Ontario Supreme Court grants to the Town mandatory mandatory injunction requiring the Watsons to remove the garage garage or bring it into conformance conformance with the rezoning by-law of the former Township Township of Oarke. The injunction was to be carried out on or before July 1st, 1979. This was delayed through the application application of the rezoning by-law to allow the building to remain in its present location. Mr. Jim Aitchison, spoke to the committee on behalf of Mr. Watson and said that he had approached thé Gan- araska Conservation Authority Authority and they were not prepared to consider a" retaining retaining wall as proposed as a solution to having the 768 sq. foot garage remain in the floodplain. He said he felt this would eliminate conditions of erosion and threat to the foundation of the building due to flooding. He said the Authority was not prepared to consider an engineering reporter reporter study. Aitchison said he assumed the Authority had no objection objection to a retaining wall but that they considered the building in the flood plain and based their conclusion on that fact. Hie Authority in a report did state they would have no objection if the building was Up and Down the Book Stacks ADULT Anyone's Son by Roberta Roesch (the so called "perfect "perfect family" excppt one son murders them.

Feeding birds As I write this, snow is dusting across the meadow and the last fluttering remnants remnants of leaves are hanging faded and forlorn. Once again, the time has come to; dust off the bird feeder, and to help our feathered friends through the winter. The enormous numbers of bird feeders shows a broad interest in wildlife among North Americans. A recent report by the U.S. Forest Service concluded that between between 20 and 25 percent of all Americans regularly feed birds. With each feeder con- sufaiinê an average of 60 pounds of birdseed a year, those citizens spent a staggering staggering $170 million on birdseed alone in 1974! Small wonder that chickadees can grow fat and saucy even in the depths of winter. The popularity of bird- feeding has created a wide variety of readily-available commercial feeders, or you can make your own tray or feeder.

HILL work well, but location is important. While feeders in the open will attract birds, a nearby shrub or conifer, with dense escape cover from predators, is more successful and safer for your birds. Many excellent birdseed mixtures are also available. Sunflower seeds are a perennial perennial favourite, and will attract attract woodpeckers, jays, chickadees, nuthatches, and finches. Smaller, nutritious seeds and cracked corn are also good, especially if mixed with suet or fat for high energy. Some foods deserve caution however. Writing in Nature Canada, John Dennis warns us against one in particular - ■ ordinary peanut butter. Apparently Apparently a number of small birds, mostly chickadees, have been found with their gullets so clogged with peanut butter that they had choked to death. This danger can be overcome by adding melted suet and stirring in a mixture of cornmeal and othçr ingredients ingredients to make a safe nutritious mixture. Dessicated cocunut and dry rolled ; oats presënt another hazard. Once inside a «bird's crop or stomaçh , the swelling of these dried foods can cause, a rupture of the digestive ' system, arfd eventually death. However, these effects are likely to occur only ; when large quantities of dried foods are fed by themselves. 1 i ii in' t REG MUN OF DURHAM The Ministry of Transportation and .Communications .Communications proposes'to reconstruct Highway 35-115 from Highway 2 Northerly to Enterprise Hill (Junction Highway 35 and Highway 115).
