V 10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 11,1984 Section Two 150 West Durham Cubs Compete in Pinewood Derby LETTER TO THE EDITOR SrS\ IUL jdi R. R. No. 2 Orono, Ont. Apr. 2,1984.. Mr. J. E. Bugelli, Chairman, C.L.O.C.A., Chairman, C.L.O.C.A., 403 Frances St., Whitby, Ont. Dear Sir: I read with some trepidation the article headed "CLOCA will investigate complaints about hunting", Oshawa Times Mar. 29th, 1984. The Long Sault Conservation Conservation Area is one of the few areas left to sincere hunters. I classify the sincere hunter as one who is as much interested in conservation, respect for private property and maintaining maintaining good relationship with farmers and other landowners as he is in harvesting game. I will concede that the infractions infractions that Mr. Burritt and Mr. Craig complain aboilt may occur. However, these infractions are not those of responsible hunters, but those of irresponsible persons with guns. The hunting of pheasants pheasants with .22 rifles, trespass, and shooting of domestic fowl are infractions against regulations regulations and the law and should be treated as such. To deny the use of this area to responsible, serious hunters because of the actions of a few would be a serious breach of fairness. Areas such as Long Sault Conservation Area can and should be multi-use areas. There was no complaint from serious hunters when hunting in this area was banned after Dec. 15th, so that the area could be utilized by cross country skiers, nor will there be any complaint from serious hunters when any reasonable rules are put forward to en sure that these areas are maintained as multi-use areas. 1 do ask that the rights of hunters be protected. Remember, it is mainly through the efforts of hunter that a reasonable balance o conservation and the harves ting of game is maintained. Serious hunters deplore the actions of the sign shooters the litterers, the poachers an< the trespassers as much or more than non-hunters do. The last paragraph in the article states that personne from M.N.R. release the pheasants. This is incorrect The pheasants that are released released in this area are bought, raised and released by persons in the Game Commission Commission who are appointed by Council and are paid for with proceeds from licences sold to hunters. In closing, I ask that rights of the sincere hunter be kept in mind when any action is taken on the future use of the conservation conservation areas controlled by CLOCA. Yours sincerely P.

Town Asked for Apple Prize Newcastle council will be asked to donate a prize of $25 towards a special contest contest for apple-growers being offered by the Orono Horticultural Society. The award will go to the person obtaining the most points in shows depicting apple blossoms and apples throughout the year. A total of four contests will take place during 1984. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard said in a report to the general purpose and administration administration committee on Monday that he had received received the request from the horticultural society. He suggested that council donate a prize because this is the town's 10th anniversary anniversary and because the apple blossom is the official flower of the municipality.

Campbell who lives north of here at Oak Hill owns a beagle hound that is a pet of the family and prized as a hunting dog. One night last week, Mr. Lloyd Scott found a beagle on the road and knowing knowing how much the family would miss their dog took it home and asked if it was their dog. Mr. Campbell knew the dog as soon as he saw it. But the children said they didn't think it was their dog, it's face looked different and it didn't have a collar. Lots of dogs lose their collar when running in the woods.

"I would suggest asking for a complete package for all town owned buildings that require emergency lighting, exit signs, and fire alarm systems. This should help reduce costs," the chief added in his report.
