town council attended a fact observed by many in the audience an invitation however was sent only to ward 6 coun cillor rob hargrave well let it go at that said mr kribs not wishing to muddy the waters in march 2005 council by a vote of 43 rejected a request from parkviews board to waive a develop ment charge of 328000 the region followed suit refusing to surrender 267000 these decisions

seems that we always make a few less than what we need which causes a few problems if you would like one it must be ordered in advance before dec 17th because it takes a week to get them ready secondly be sure that you specify smoked turkey otherwise it goes on the list for regular turkeys its easy really order deadline is dec 17th c roasting hickens we havent promoted these for a long time for no particular reason because they make the most amazing old fashioned meal all the fresh chickens that we handle come from one particular farm king capon in sharon ontario theyre more yellow in colour theyre air chilled its better and theyve got a noticeable texture and flavour difference we used to call them free range chickens til we got our knuckles rapped because they dont go outdoors or have access to the outside year round judging by today they wouldnt want to were proud of these and judging by our chicken bills our customers really like them too for this week i got doreen to write
