Common Sense

Bob Craigue | Dec 09, 2020

I was returning from Perth the other day and was pleased and surprised to see an individual burning up a dead tree in his yard in the daytime. What common sense to have the ability to have a debris fire in the daytime! I was planning my own fire in C/F that evening but I had to start my fire 2 hours before sunset and have it completely out by 2 hours after daybreak. I accomplished it but found myself out with my headlamp in the dark trying to consolidate my fire to get a complete burn and out at 6am to make sure there would not be a wisp of smoke to be seen by 9am. Why not  consider the novel thought that the fire bylaw should serve the taxpayer, not the convenience of the fire department.

While I have your attention, I would like to remind everyone how good it is to have a local paper that we can place a letter to the editor and complain about that which we would like to change. Please take the Christmas season to remember our local paper with a donation to its continuance and say Ho! Ho! Ho! to Jeff Green.
