the tribune thursday september zs 1ts 5 i i j i 1 window on wild life canada geese numbers grow by art briggs- jude they funnel out of the south end of james bay like giant bees leaving a hive but their pulsing wings are not carrying them on a honey gathering expedition from their tundra summer habitat in this far northern area they have been congregating on these big waterways for jp the past weeks now with a touch of frost on ff the trees and a bit of rawhide in the wind the big canada geese begin to take off in flocks as small as four individuals to huge waves of several hundred birds they wing- their way southward over the stunted willows they fly climbing steadily till their wings seem to touch the ceiling of low cloud now the arrow formations set course for the great lakes far to the south with a few tradition al feed and rest stops enroute some geese stirred by an inner instinct are up and away at the first hint of cold weather while others linger till forced out by driving sleet snow and a general freeze up before the rediscovery of the giant canada geese in 1962 the hunting of honkers in southern ontario was a hit and miss effort often it was by sheer luck or accident that hunters got within range of the wary birds the outlay of cash for decoys calls etc was just too much ex pense for the benefits derived by the average hunter so the number of geese bagged by the individual sportsman could be counted on the fingers of one hand during the past few years however with the appearance of these large geese in local farmlands airports and waterways the odds on taking some for the table have greatly increased in fact in some areas like the toronto waterfront natural resources personnel have been taking eggs from nesting geese in an effort to alleviate already crowded conditions actually it was eggs from such flocks and others at morrisburg on the st lawrence that formed the nucleus of the giant canada goose reintroduction programme that these efforts are paying off is quite evident by the numbers of canada geese found nesting in the southern parts of this province and despite the fact a half a million wild geese were harvested by hunters during the 1977 season there are actually more of these whitecheeked fowl in north america today than there were when champlain sailed up the st lawrence this too is no accident rather its the results of farsighted management regulated hunting wildlife reservations and a great amount of 1 research paid iricidently in no small way by the past and present hunters of this country editors mail gravel opponent blast pit supporters sunoco plans quiet car wash k 8 markham is there such a thing as a quiet automatic car wash no says maurice sanders president of the thornhill ratepayers association yes claims robert doran a spokesman for the sun oil company of canada limited the firm has applied for permission to install an assemblytype car- washing facility in a service station on hwy 7 to get the green light an amendment is required to the towns official plan due to the fact mechanical car washes are not allowed adjacent to residential properties mr sanders was of the opinion such operations should be restricted to industrial areas he said the association had checked out 15 such plants not one of them was what you could call quiet he said mr doran argued that sunocos equipment was such that noise would be reduced to a minimum to compare their units with others is unfair he said planning committee chairman walter grieve said the plan as it now stands is too restrictive he said the town should be able to rezone certain sites under special cir cumstances in addition to the noise mr sanders said increased traffic would also pose a problem theres no way this planning committee can tell me a neighborhood is not going to be affected by traffic flow he charged councillor stan daurio replied that if increased traffic was thought to be a hazard then the application would be rejected earlier mr sanders said rezoning could be obtained at the drop of a hat mr and mrs ken neth scott ovida boulevard voiced op position o the proposal saying traffic would be backed up all along the side of hwy 7 a staff report is now being prepared and further discussion will follow receipt of recommendations from planning personnel what evil lurks in the hearts of our elected officials indians in the dryden area survive on mercuryladen fish facing the prospect of a painful death to further the financial interests of reed paper our provincial government responds by giving this corporation six years to clean up its act in sarnia a niggling fine that does not even cover court costs is levied against oow chemical the list of abuses in this province is endless and now it is the people of uxbridge township at the hands of john b regan what we do not need is another gravel pit and on zoned agricultural land covered with trees yet is our council insane mr norm lyons has openly argued against tax equalization whereby the southern area of the township burdened by most of the gravel pits has the added privilege of paying higher taxes now he also wants to give us an added cross to beara proposed pit licensed to extract one million tons per year placing 200000 trucks on our already overrun roads not only is this not neighbourly and inconsiderate it is ex tremely poor business all township residents will be forced to absorb costly road maintenance- in no time insurance companies will simply refuse to replace cracked windshields in the ux bridge area mr regan has of fered 6v4 cents per ton extracted pending revision of a current provincial act at which time he will pay the going rate set by the province at that time all other pits will have to pay up also this legislation is scheduled to go into effect during the coming year and no one in council knows what the figure will be before this proposed pit ever became stouffville man hurt stouffville a

4 106 thurs oct5 117 three days only operational it is likely that mr regan would never have to honour his agreement with the township for even a week what kind of bargain is that offering something you know you will have to do anyhow at the moment our existing pits are operating at a fraction of their capacity why on earth should we create another blight on the landscape and destroy a forest at the same time mr regan points out that this gravel site is special indeed it is it is a replacement site for his current operation that is almost vorked out and he needs new ground to continue operating how can we let a man who deliberately flaunted our bylaws last year take another slice of our township and rape it what is good for john regan is bad for ux bridge township our lovely town is plagued with gravel trucks coursing through it the presbyterian church is already suf fering from a crumbling foundation due to the vibration of heavy truck traffic must the people of uxbridge be sacrificed for the glory of a wider 401 the irony of it all is that the very people who destroy our roads sell us back our own resource to repair them talk about a self perpetrating in dustry they cant lose and what do the pit owners return to the community in taxes 24000 per annum in total for the lot of them why one single block of glen acres residents pay more than that we are in fact subsidizing the gravel lords can we afford it it is time with the onset of local municipal elections for the citizens of uxbridge to alert tneir representatives and our provincial mp that we will not be ignored it must be noted that our mayor gordon davie does not support this gravel pit proposal mr regan has paid 1200000 a tidy sum for his tract of land he has a battery of lawyers and influence in high places giving him reassurance that his investment will be returned 50 to 1 he does not feel that he gambling one bit however he does not have the citizens ballot and like the reception centre he will be defeated our last municipal election demonstrated our determination collec tively we have the power to repel this intruding pit and we must if only to keep us from bankruptcy apathy is our worst enemy when our gravel is exploited we will be left with nothing but debts and bad memories must we wait until we wipe out a bus load of children before we get angry we have had some close calls with gravel trucks already and with increased volume of traffic we are inviting the inevitable remember that pit represents a potential of 200000 ad ditional truck loads per year it is our respon sibility to shape our destiny and fight off the invading gravel giant in our woods uxbridge township is neat its a great place to raise a family and worth fighting for jeanine sheridan rr 4 uxbridge recommend pay hike uxbridge the twp council has recommended a pay increase for members effective in 1979 if approved ward councillors will receive 5500 up from their present 5000 regional councillors will receive 6000 up from 5000 and the mayor will receive 7700 up from 7000 the only dissenting voice was councillor norm lyons he felt the pay for ward members and regional councillors should be the same but councillor gary harrema disagreed pointing to the fact more time and travel costs were involved in the senior post mayor gord davie described the pay scale as fair and reasonable he noted that no increases bad been forthcoming for five years freedom of choice in education still exists yes freedom of choice does exist at stanstead college but for how much longer depends on you the
