Petition Drive

Rough Draft, add suggestions on comments...

Our petition drive has started, here's a few things all circulators should know.

1. Get your petition from Lane, with a number.  We're tracking all petitions being circulated by a unique petition number.
2. DO NOT fill in the number of signatures, even when all 43 are collected, this number will be filled in  by a petition consultant who will verify signatures.
3. DO NOT sign your own petition, sign another circulators petition,
4. When you complete a petition, be sure to complete the last page (except for the number of signatures), return it to Lane and get a new numbered petition. 
5. For your first time circulating a petition, pair up with an experienced circulator so you can learn from them.
6. When at a public place its better to ask for signatures on the way out, rather than on the way in.
7. Ask if they are a Solon resident AND a registered voter, this is important.
8. Then ask them if they'd sign a petition regarding putting deer culling on the ballot so the people can decide, don't debate the issue with them, this will take time and won't address the main point of getting their signature.
9. If they want more information you can direct to the website solondeer.com, but tell them signing the petition puts it on the ballot for the citizens to decide, signing isn't saying they are for ot against it just lets the people decide.
10. If someone tries to engage you in a debate, politely refuse to debate them and walk away from them.

If you have any more questions, contact Lane.

Deer Counting Dup

Do You have the source letter?
TOO MANY CAPS!  Sarcasm may not be effective.


this is a duplicate. 


The Herald Sun (Jan 12, '06)

Dave Hromco, former assistant public works director and overseer of the deer mgmt plan initially said Davis aviation in Kent counted 762 deer in Solon. He later acknowledged that Davis counted 670 in Solon and an additional 92 in Glenwillow for a total 0f 762.

Glenwillow deer were included in Solon counts in 2004 too and city officials DON'T SEEM TO KNOW WHY.
Mayor Kevin Patton and Hromco said THEY WEREN'T SURE WHY. Hromco said maybe because the deer migrate between Solon and Glenwillow.


When Hromco was asked why then, Solon's deer count did NOT INCLUDE the other bordering communities--TWINSBURG, BAINBRIDGE, REMINDERVILLE, BENTLEYVILLE, MORELAND HILLS, ORANGE, and BEDFORD HTS AND OAKWOOD-- HE DIDN'T KNOW.


Heinz said the counts DID INCLUDE the neighboring areas...

Deer Counting

Too bad I didn't get this to you before Fri's meeting.

[Do we have original article?]

From the Solon Herald Sun 1/12/06

Dave Hromco, assistant director of public works initially said Davis Aviation in Kent counted 762 deer in Solon. He later acknowledged that Davis counted 670 on Solon and an additionl 92 in Glen Willow for a total of 762.

Glen Willow deer were included in Solon counts in 2004 too and city officials don't seem to know why.

HOPE Link

Heal Our Planet Earth
http://www.hope-care.org/

has a page on Deer at
http://www.all-creatures.org/hope/deer.htm

the page http://www.all-creatures.org/hope/DOE/index.htm
it has 2 links, one is not active.

Is there any material we want to reference?

DVA Documents

Both Strieter Lites and DeerDeter provided several documents...

Could write summary posts and embed the documents in the post.

Could also attach the documents to DVA Deterrent Main Site Page (but there isn't much room to summarize, unless we do a summary graph on the page).

DVA Deterrents Effective

DVA Deterents are much less costly, but also more effective.

In a 5 year study of one device you can see a dramatic decrease in DVAs.

Contrast this to the very expensive 5 years of deer culling in Solon, which made only a modest reduction in DVA.

Or maybe just take the raw data from each and build new graphs...
