"They're going to run out of money unless they take it from you or me," com- mented Van Wieren , in reference to government programs, The Light tiTouch NO GENERATION the past couple of HERE After 19 years, Hensa11 Reeve Harold Knight thought he had seen and heard it all. During those years there have 'been complaints about dogs, dust, dumps, domiciles, degenerates and almost a nything else imagineable. However, a new and foreboding problem has encroached on some residents of the comrannity and is threatening to multiply. With a forced chuckle that belied the seriousness of the problem, Knight told fellow council members this week he was stymied as to the solution to the new menace. The problem? Some residents have expressed grave concern about the fact three black rabbits are terrorizing their neigh- borhood and people are afraid to leave the safe confines of their homes - at least tb the point of spending a lot of dune this spring planting gardens that they fear will be decimated by the tiny creatures. "That's a new one," Knight commented. "It's the first time we've had trouble with rabbits." He suggested calling the OPP or even having a safari of game hunters commissioned to handle the problem, but when the discussion ended, no clear- cut solution was for- thcoming. However, the debate did end on an ominous note when Councillor Klass VanWieren noted the impending danger that could befall the com- munity if there were both males and females among the rabbit population. "It won't take long to get a whole lot of rabbits," he warned. One of the few encouraging words heard during the airing of the problem was the fact the rabbits appear to be partially tame and are not your usually ferociPuSi wild species. That alone could be Hensall's salvation! Brief session With two council members absent from Monday's meeting, it was a short session and many 'items were held over until a full council could deal with them. Councillor Harry Klungel missed the meeting as he was away on a vacation, while Paul Neilands is still recovering from an operation. He is expected home from hospital this week. As he opened the meeting, Knight suggested that any items of a controversial nature would be set over for another meeting. That was the fate of a request for financial assistance for the renovation project being undertaken for the Tpckersmith recreation centre at Vanastra. Tuckersmith clerk Jack McLachlan, Councillor Robert Fotheringham and rec director Diane Durnin presented a slide com- mentary on the project being undertaken to make the facility more accessible to the physically and mentally handicapped. McLachlan indicated that direct mail canvassing would be undertaken in the area and Fotheringham noted that any assistance Hensall council could give would be most appreciated. Also set over to the next meeting was a suggestion by works superintendent Bill McLaren' that a sweeper he Purchased for installation on the town truck. He noted this would enable him to keep every Street clean and tidy at all times. The cost was listed at $4,227, Knight facetiously suggested he wouldn't know spring had arrived if the village had such equipment, because it could end the annual complaint' about dust and dirty streets. McLaren's monthly report showed he had spent time hand sweeping winter debris from the main street, In reviewing the minutes of the April meeting of the Hensail Parks Board, members expressed concern over the fact the ice rental revenue had decreased by $1,175 over last year's figures. "If it keeps going like that, it will be a burden," Van- wieren commented. Knight said he thought the situation could be corrected with a little reorganization. While broomball and public skating revenues increased over the previous year, miscellaneous rentals had offset that with a decrease of $1,913. It was noted that the board had authorized the at- tendance of Dan McGlin- chey and Dick Packham at the O.M.R.A. conference to be held at North Bay next month, with their $85 registration fee and ac- commodation to be paid by the board. The report showed that the concession at the arena had made a net profit of $5 during the 1979-80 season, with netted sales of $1,450 and salaries of $1,445. In other business, council: Learned that six property owners had signed a petition opposing the rezoning of property for Robert Erb from residential to com- mercial. The petitioners complained that they had to learn of the suggested change from news reports, but Knight pointed out council members were fully aware a public meeting would have to be held on the subject and there had been no intent to do anything behind anyone's back. Decided to again offer trees to local citizens. Last year, 20 trees were planted and it was indicated that more may be ordered this year if there are enough requests.
