Page 4A Times -Advocate, September 23, 1987 No hunting license from Hay Hay township will not regulate the hunting of rabbits or pheasants this season. The usual restrictions of the hunting season will still apply, but it will not be necessary for hunters to purchase a separate township,license for the hunting of these two species. "There's no pheasant here any more," reasoned Councillor Donald Weigand when explaining the futility of licensing the hunting of a species no longer prevalent in Hay township.. The purpose of the separate township license was to provide funds to help support the raising and release of game pheasants by township residents. Councillor Gerald Shantz noted than no one is any longer interested in the raising of pheasant in Hay township. In other business, council discuss- ed possible grant applications that might be available to aid in the renovation of the Township Hall. The designation of the building as an of- ficial Ontario heritage site was con- sidered to be impractical because of the prohibitive cost and detail of restoration, and because of the poten- tial to hamper the hall's rental to other funded -groups. However, Reeve Lionel Wilder wondered whether any grants may be available to improve the energy effi- ciency of the hall during the winter. Previous estimates to assess the cost of replacing and improving the win- dows of the hall were set at approx- imately $6,(00, but the maximum grant available under the fuel and energy conservation program is S3.000. Wilder suggested that this granLbe church a continued unobstructed view • minor variance, because the required examined morectosely at a later date and to meanwtiile insulate the present windows with plastic storm windows. goad Superintendent Ross Fisher told council that an inordinate number -of road signs • have been stolen from the township in the past few weeks. These missing signs in- clude six yield signs, two stop signs, and a bridge sign. When asked whether the signs had been torn down, Fisher replied that the thieves had used a wrench. "They were very neat about it," Fisher suggested. - . He also explained that the problem extends- to certain individuals re-ar ranging some of the townships road signs to mislead motorists. "We hope they don't start messing around with traffic signs so that they cause an accident," said Wilder. Fisher told council he would in- vestigate the purchase of a marking pen to identify stolen signs and would explore the possible use of anti -theft nuts and bolts to secure the signs in place. Iluron County planner Patty \lunkittrick appeared before council to outline a proposed site plan control bylaw for the Letts/Mennonite Church lot beside the Blue Water Rest 1 torte. • Munkittrick proposed that in addi- tion to changing the lot's zoning from agricultural to institutional, there should also be a provision to keep the church building at least 40 metres back from the road.
