Eric Pauze was awarded $375 by the Twonship of Tiny to compensate him for the loss of his livestock. Pauze lost sheep on two occasions, Aug. 22 and 26. Councillor Gabe Brunelle told council Wednesday, that "highly irregular actions" were involved in the deaths. One sheep was "chewed"' and another was partially buried. "'The only reason they found it (the buried sheep) was that its nose was sticking out of the ground," explained Brunell. One explanation for the peculiar behavior of the predator is that a mother wolf was teaching her cubs how to hunt and '"'den" the prey. Sometimes wolves bury their kill to preserve it. "They don't have fridges", joked one of the councillors. Reeve Morris Darby said he hoped _ the considered whether his barnyard affords enough protection for his livestock.

Cable TV firm sticks to Feds' 6and5 Due to the severity of the -urrent economic recession, Maclean Hunter Cable TV has decided to support the government's "6 and 5"' plan. The company has a rate increase application currently before the CRTC, but- has asked the commission to amend this application to 6 percent and a further 5 per- cent in 1983. According to local cable manager Carl White, the company's previous request of approximately 17 percent is felt to be fair and reasonable due to increased costs of operating and system upgrading to allow additional channel capacity. "However, Maclean Hunter wishes to support and contribute to the objective of improving Canada's ecomomic vitality, and has voluntarily asked the CRTC to limit any increase in subscriber rates to 6 and 5 per cent." said White.
