Is someone unloading bears in SECTION THE HERALD Wednesday July Page MNR residents want bear facts on area sightings By MAGGIE HANNAH Special Although bears have rently been seen several times In recent weeks in Milton and Townships no one has report the sightings to ministry of natural Bruce wildlife for the ministry s Cam bridge office said the ministry heard indirectly of a sow and cub being seen in the Acton but that a Meanwhile Vince Synott a beef former on the Fourth Line three miles south of said he saw bear in with his cattle a couple of weeks ago He was watering his garden at dusk and looked up to see his herd running as hard as they could go through a field by a swamp He saw a long heavy shaggy creature jogging along behind them It was too long and heavy for any dog he said I went into the house for my rifle and then I went down through the field The dog stayed right me and he sniffed around very but he never left my side It s just as well as I dldn sec It I guess My gun is heavy enough Tor a bear Between two and three weeks ago Patricia of Crews on Corners saw black bear at the back of her parents lot Just north or the highway Before that however rumor has it that a group of school children waiting for the bus on the Town Line and had a bear appear Contractors building a house on Sidcroad and the Fourth Line are also reported to have seen a bear and one or two cubs at least twice near the construction site A Sinth Lino resident just north of said he heard a very strange noise one morning last week but saw nothing in the dark at 4 am It was too dry to find tracks but when he discussed the sounds with people who know wildlife ihey tell him he probably hud bear In his backyard Calvin the man who shot a bear north of Acton lost summer said he hasn t been called for bears this year although he knows people arc seeing them In the Keeping it organized If you re never quite sure what you have on hand the or frequently discover last year pro with this year sup ply take a few dp in organization from the Glad Home Freezing Centre When home freezing any commodity use a bag size that corresponds to the size of your family Glad freezer bags for example come in three sizes so you can chotfse one that suits the number of servings you normally require for one meal That way you don have to open and close the bog several tunes which can allow air in and cause freezer burn Be sure date the food on the label provided Keep each type of food in a separate section of the freezer making sure that the freshest food is placed on the bottom so the oldest food is used up first If your family is small consider double bagging your food Use the small size Glad freezer bags to freeze just for one meal remove the air with the straw provided and close tightly with the twist tie Then place several small bags in a larger freezer bag and label This cuts down on the number of labels you have to fill out and helps keep the freezer organized making it easier for you to use up the food within the mended penod for optimum quality For other hints on home freezing write for your free brochures to the Glad Home Freezing Informa Centre Queen Street East Toronto On Mr said the minis try would like to be informed of sightings It isn t Ihclr go into he area and destroy the animals just be cause they re here but they be Interested In keeping labs on them If there is public demand to have them removed it would be the ministry Job to try live trap the animal or anim he said Landowners to whom there is potential danger or damage their livestock always have the rights to kill bears he Trapping bears Is a difficult task since they range over a wide area Mr said That is why tho ministry would like to be Informed of sightings since might help to establish a pattern lo their movements and make capture easier if It becomes necessary If trapping becomes neces sary the ministry will have lo go Northern Ontario for a culvert trap such as is com used there A culvert is balled with somclh probably putrefied meal since the odor will lest longest and travel further than that of honey or blueberries and rap doors on cither end are rigged to close once the animal Is Inside Then the bear in the trap is hoisted aboard a small truck and taken off to be released In some less Mr said the minis try can figure out why the area seems lo influx of bears over the past four years There area number of bears in the Bruce Peninsula he said but It Is a pretty long trip for a bear They could be following the escarpment he said or they could be following the river valleys though the big swamps down from Barrie The other possibility and the one of which the ministry if most suspicious is that some one may be pen rearing the animals then releasing them Wed almost
