IMPORTANT
Sunday Gun-Hunting Meeting
Tuesday, March 5 at 1:00 p.m. in the Cayuga Administration Building, 45 Munsee Street North, Cayuga.
Haldimand county will be holding a Council in Committee meeting to discuss the potential adoption of Sunday gun hunting within the County.
A letter from The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) states that it "is extremely important for all hunters to attend this meeting to show their support of expanded hunting opportunities* as well as their support in allowing Sunday gun hunting within Haldimand County."
* As a property owner and resident of Haldimand, the question is: what precisely does "expanded hunting opportunities" involve? My experience is that NO TRESPASSING signs have little effect. My family was once threatened while walking along a railway trail by a rifle-wielding individual. Can we not preserve Sunday as a day for non-hunters, trail-walkers/hikers and woodlot explorers?

"Nothing in this life, after health and virtue, is more estimable than knowledge, nor is there anything so easily attained, or so cheaply purchased, ~ the labor, only sitting still, and the expense but time, which, if we do not spend, we cannot save."
~ Laurence Sterne (1713 - 1738) Anglo-Irish novelist, clergyman.
"The love of knowledge in a young mind is almost a warrant against the infirm excitement of passions and vices."
~ Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1837) American clergyman.

"However beautifully decorated, a house without flowers does not have the welcoming, vibrant feel which a vase of colourful flowers can bring. Huge displays of expensive flowers need only be for special occasions. A few blooms from the garden or a bunch of seasonal flowers from the florist cost so little in terms of money and effort but make so much difference to the aspect of a room."
~ The Ladies' Flower Garden, Wendy Hobson, Whitecap Books Ltd., 1994.

"After finishing Blackstone [Blackstone's Commentaries on Law], he set out across the prairies for Springfield, twenty miles away, to borrow other law-books from an attorney he had met in the Black Hawk War. On his way home he carried an open book in one hand, studying as he walked. When he struck a knotty passage, he shuffled to a standstill, and concentrated on it until he had mastered the sense.
He kept on studying, until he had conquered twenty or thirty pages, kept on until dusk fell and he could no longer see to read...The stars came out, he was hungry, he hastened his pace.
He pored over his books now incessantly, having heart for little else. By day he lay on his back, reading in the shade of an elm that grew beside the store, his bare feet angling up against the trunk of the tree. By night he read in the cooper's shop, kindling a light from the waste material lying about. Frequently he read aloud to himself, now and then closing the book and writing down the sense of what he had just read, revising, rephrasing it until it became clear enough for a child to comprehend."
