"It is obvious that we do not have the confidence of the member- ship," he stated. . He reported that a peti- tion has been circulated to a large number of the mer- chants and it would appear that any chance of forming a Business Improvement Area is almost dead. The petition, being circulated by Mr. Doug Hillier, owner of a business within the design- ated BIA border, has accu- mulated approximately 27 names of merchants oppos- ed. : Members of the board of eye startled by Mr. Hall's suggestion, - but did show some disappoint- ment and concern for the opposition. Although they are still in favour of im- provement to the downtown area, the directors hesitated * to take any further action to convince the merchants involved that. they felt the BIA was vital to the life of the downtown core. Bill Lock, chairman of the steering committee, asked that the Chamber issue a directive to the membership to show that they were still 100 percent behind their original decision, but this suggestion prompted no action by the directors. Both Bill Lock and Howard Hall found it hard to believe the attitude of those: opposed to the im- provements. They said, "it would appear that their (merchants) only concern is for themselves. They don't seem to careswhat is going on around them as long as they are making a good living themselves." "They just don't seem to have any concern for the general wel- fare of the whole business community," Mr. Hall said. There has been an indi- cation that even if the direc- torship does not decide to resign en masse, that a few of the directors may resign from their present positions. With yet another month to go before the formal ob- jections must be filed with" the Township, it would appear that those who have been directly involved with the initial planning will not try to reverse the decision. As Chamber president Cliff Crowell said, "Don't take it to heart, we win some......and lose some." by Lakeside Restaurant. "Liquor Objection By-law Officer Bob Kenny and councillor Jerry Taylor have been authorized by council to attend a public. meeting in Peterborough on April 12 with a written objection to an application for a liquor licence Council objects to the application for a licence on the Goreski premises because he has not complied with . their request to issue a new site plan agreement. It was suggested that council send the township lawyer to represent them at the meeting, but they felt a lawyer could achieve no more than a strong letter of objection being delivered to the hearing. The letter will object to any further change or expansion of the facility until a new site plan agree- ment is entered into with the township.

Also, any animal with por- cupine quills in it may. have rabies as the disease can cause "these animals to attack porcupines. In issuing the warning for children to stay clear of wild animals, Ms. Barrett said she is only aware of one case of rabies this _ spring and there is no epidemic.
