;ff the farm.
Whether it be
helping to round
up cattle, keeping
critters away or
keeping you com-
pany while spend-
ing numerous
hours in the trac-
tor, he was the dog
for the job and he
loved it. However,
he wasn't just a
farm dog, he was
an instant smile to
our daughter and
friends' faces, he
was comfort to a
family ` friend bat-
tling cancer, he
was a ring dog in
our wedding, he
was our daugh-
ter's first word.
We could go on
and on about all
IF From page 9
Oke voted in
favour of the status
quo, citing a need
II to get on with
1 county business.
"We're not inter-
ested in restructur-
ing at this time,"
says Oke. "We're
spinning our
wheels."
A smattering of
councillors, includ-
the wonderful
things that Angus
did to bring happi-
ness to our family
and those around
him -but that is not
why we are writ-
ing this letter. We
writing
because we _are
outraged that
someone fired a
gun onto private:
property, not
knowing what
they were shoot-
ing at or who was
on the premises.
During the shoot-
' g
hoot-ing three . adults
and. a child were
on the property
only a hundred
meters away from
where our dog was
killed. Angus was
shot only
Meters from_ the
road and was
wearing a bright
blue collar. _ It is
very f disturbing l to
think that some-
one ,else could
a have been serious-
ly injured or even
killed. We have
reported tliisioci-
dent to the .OPP.
All we want is for
people : to - think
responsibly, be
responsible and
take responsibility
for their action s so
something like
this doesn't ' hap-
pen again!

ing Shewfelt and
Bezaire, expressed
disappointment
with council's
unwillingness to
change.
Bezaire says the
brave move would
be to introduce a
system wherein
county councillors
are elected at large
rather than the cur-
rent practice of
having the council
comprised of
reeves or mayors,.
deputy mayors or
deputy reeves and
for municipalities
with three repre-
sentatives, senior-
level councillors.
"There's not the
courage in this
room to make that
kind of decision,"
says Bezaire.
