Plan your work. Work your plan.

Commissioners,

At the October 27, 2014 Commission Discussion Session, you, The Commission, directed J. Merlin Benner of Wildlife Specialists, to seek approval from the PA Game Commission for archery, trap and "euthanize," and sterilization. See page 14 of 16 of the November 17, 2014 Deer Management Plan.

Archery ✓

Trap and Corral ✓

Sterilization

According to the plan that the commission approved, the time has come to focus on sterilization. Sharpshooting was not in the plan, not until Coleen Vuono came on to the Commission. Residents were told that sterilization was to follow archery and trap and "euthanize." The public bought into your plan.

Commissioners, plan your work and work your plan. Both John Bendel and Dave Brumfield said during discussion sessions that you/they are opposed to sharpshooting. Don't be swayed by Coleen Vuono. Sharpshooting was never in the plan.

Ordeal to getting Sandy Baker's report online

On June 27, 2015, I forwarded a comment posted on this blog to the Commission, asking for the Sandy Baker report to be added to the municipal website. (I also asked if my commissioner was going to stay in Ward 3 when she sells her house, but that is a topic for another time. I asked her again this morning if she plans to stay in Ward 3.)

The first to respond was Dave Brumfield.  He did not find the recommendations effective and/or feasible relevant to our stated goal.

Next, I heard from Kelly Fraasch. She ​felt all they discussed was the presenter's options on Monday and had little time to discuss much else.

This morning, I received this email from John Bendel. The Sandy Baker report is now available on the municipal website here.

I have not heard back from Steve Silverman or Coleen Vuono. It is only hearsay, but allegedly neither Steve Silverman or Coleen Vuono would sign the thank you note to Sandy Baker.
