tion because of the "light pol-
lution it would cause."
The Township also received
a petition in favour of the street
light signed by approximately
80 residents.
Concession 6 West is the
only concession without a

with Lake Range Drive.
Councillors said they would
approve the installation to

South Bruce OPP report 13 crashes
with deer in last few weeks
The South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police
(OPP) continues to investigate vehicle collisions
with deer across the detachment area.
From Oct. 23, 2013 at 8:00 am to Nov 6, offic-
ers attended 38 crashes, 13 of which involved
a deer.
Drivers are reminded that deer become more
active in the fall and can appear on the road with
little or no warning. The following tips are offered
to help prevent drivers from hitting a deer:
Be especially attentive from sunset to mid-
night and during the hours shortly before and
after sunrise. These are the highest risk times for
deer -vehicle collisions.
Drive with caution when moving through
areas known to have a large deer population.
Remember - deer seldom run alone. If you see
one deer, others maybe nearby.
When driving at night, use high beam head-
lights when there is no oncoming traffic. The
high beams will better illuminate the eyes of deer
on or near the roadway.
Slowdown and blowyour hom with one long
blast to frighten the deer away.
Brake firmlywhen you notice a deer in or near
your path, but stay in your lane. Many serious

crashes occur when
drivers swerve to avoid
a deer and hit another
vehicle or lose control
of their cars.
Always wear your
seat belt. Most people
injured in deer -vehicle
crashes were not
wearing their
seat belt.
Do not rely on
devices such as deer
whistles, deer fences
and reflectors to
deter deer. Slow
down, stay in control
and stay alert.
from James Doug Boyd that a
pedestrian and bicycle bridge
be constructed over the Pine
River connecting Point Clark
and Lurgan Beach.
Councillors recalled a
bridge was discussed years ago
and estimated to cost close to
$500,000.
"Anyone want to raise
taxes?" said Councillor
Jim Hanna.
Mayor Mitch Twolan said
there was no appetite for the
project at this time but council
would support community
efforts to raise money
for a bridge.
Ripley Reunion 2015
Council approved $25,000

grants.

sive dog behaviour.
