10- Orono Weekýly tmes> ,Wedýnesday, May 4, 9 Mînistry relocates Turkeys from Gariaraska Forest area The Ministry of Natural resources at Lindsay has completed a successful wild turkey relocation, The purpose was to establish a wild turkey population into their historical northern limits in the Kawartha Lakes area. Wild turkeys have been established this past winter in the area north of Rice Lake in Peterborough County. Wild turkeys used to range over most of southern Ontario, but were eradicated due to the loss of habitat and unregulated hunting in the late 1880s. Ten years ago an unique cooperative effort several of the northemn U.S. states provided wild turkeys for release in Southern Ontario. In return Ontario sent moose to Michigan and river otters to Missouri- In 1987, the Lindsay M.N.R., with financial help from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters was able to obtain wild turkeys from New Jersey. These birds were released south of Lindsay in the FIleetwood Conservation Area. A subsequent release was made in 1989 south of Rice Lake in Haldimand County of stock originally from New York state. The progeny of these two groups of birds now inhabit most of the Oak Ridges Moraine area. This past winter M.N.R. staff located two large flocks of turkeys near the Ganaraska Agreement Forest. Both flocks were of sufficient size that they were saturating their winter habitat and were prime candidates for relocating. Thirty-three birds from these flocks were trapped with a cannon-propelled net and released at two separate locations north of Rice Lake. An additional six hens from, this trapping were released near Wingham in Ontario in an effort to broaden the genetic base. A further four mature maies were trapped in the Ganaraska Forest area and have been divided between the two small flocks established north of Rice Lake. A turkey hunt is currently underway in those areas that have become well established in population. Hunters of turkeys must complete a special wild turkey hunting course before they can purchase a licence. A checking station has been established in Orono at the Nov ico Hardware Store and is open May 2 to May 20, 8 to 2 during the week and 10 to 2 on Sundays.

As the seasons change, so also at> the thoughts of young people. We have aIl had the privilege of being invited to a very special time ;n the lives of our friends; a chance to share when they exchange their vows and start their married'f e together. Often, couples will take a lttle time after the wedding for a honeymoon. A chance to relax after the stress and anxiety buildup of the wedding day. It is at the planning and preparation stages of a honeymoon that the travel agent can become involved. What ideas do the couple have to make the special times extraordinary? How can a travel agent help with these plans? What sort of budget and interests do they have in mind? It is a special time that the agent enjoys as much as any other holiday planning; perhaps more. I-oneymoons vary from a trip to a sunny Caribbean Island, a cruise on a luxury ship or a week spent in the mountains in Banff and Jasper. They can be as intimate as a resort with private pooîs or as basic as a visit to Quebec. Whatev er your honeymoon plans may be; remember to budget for it and include a travel agent as your best resource person.
