Morris-Turnberry increases dog kennel costs
By Denny Scott
The Citizen
Morris-Turnberry Council decided
to increase dog kennel licence costs
after realizing the municipality cost
structure wasn't equal to
neighbouring municipalities.
The municipality used to charge
$80 for a kennel licence which
would allow someone to keep
multiple dogs as long as proper
housing was provided. The
municipality increased that to $125
to get closer to its contemporaries,
who charge $150, as well as to make
more sense of the existing bylaw.
The issue was brought to council
after staff had been instructed to
determine if the fees were covering
the cost of the program.
Administrator Clerk -Treasurer
Nancy Michie said the charges
behind the bylaw do cover its cost,
but said it could be increased to be
competitive with other
municipalities.
Council had no problem with the
price of individual tags, but several
said licences should be increased. It
was also suggested that Animal
Control Officer Bob Trick should
investigate non -renewed tags as the
number of licenced dogs has been
steadily going down in the
municipality.
Councillor Sharen Zinn said
whatever move council made, they
needed to be aware that increasing
the costs too much would result in

relationships and personal health.
When people toil for years and fail
to achieve goals they'd hoped for,
despair and disillusion may set in,
tempting them to anaesthetize their
emptiness or anomie by substance
abuse or self -harm. But the
Reformers held that good works
(such as climbing up the steps of St.
Peter's on your knees) are not the
way to get Brownie points with God.
It has to be by faith, simply trusting
God and accepting His free gift
through Jesus' own work at the
cross. As Ephesians 2:8-9 puts it,
"For by grace you have been saved
through faith. And this is not your
own doing; it is the gift of God, not
a result of works, so that no one may
boast."
Humanism paints an optimistic,
rosy picture of human nature — one
that is betrayed by the tragic
conflicts and genocides of the 20th
century. By way of juxtaposition,
Holcomb notes: "As humans, we
inherited (from our ancestor Adam)
a nature that is enslaved to sin.
Because of our nature, we are
naturally enemies of God and lovers
of evil. We need to be made alive
(regenerated) so that we can even
have faith in Christ. God graciously
chooses to give us new hearts so that
we trust in Christ and are saved
through faith alone."
The fifth `sola' — "Sola Scriptura":
The Bible alone is our highest
authority. Modern mantras are, `Be
your own boss," "Make your own
rules," "Don't let anyone tell you
what to do," "Might makes right."
Respect for those in positions of
authority has plummeted: teachers
struggle to cope with rowdy
students; police forces clash with
protesters; criminals target
unsuspecting homeowners even on
the backroads of Huron County.
Anarchy is on the rise, as people's
capacity for submission to proper
authority diminishes. The
Reformers, though, held that civic
and ecclesiastical authorities can be
held accountable to God's truth
revealed in the Bible. As the
common German peasant heard
Luther's Bible preached, she/he
came to understand that even the
Pope would someday have to answer
to God, and certain long -held
ecclesiastical practices were judged
by many to be rather misguided.
As Justin Holcomb writes, "The
Scriptures are our ultimate and
trustworthy authority for faith and
practice. This doesn't mean that the
Bible is the only place where truth is
found, but it does mean that
everything else we learn about God
and his world, and all other
authorities, should be interpreted in
light of Scripture. The Bible gives us
everything we need for our theology.
Every word of the 66 books of the
Bible is inspired by God's Holy
Spirit." Or as the Apostle Paul wrote
