On Monday, Dec. 17th, 1984 I attended attended a meeting in Courtroom #2, Church St., Bowmanville to hear and view a presentation by C.L.O.C.A. re: their proposals for the future of the Long Sault Conservation Conservation Area. This presentation was made to members of Council, ably chaired by Councillor Diane Hamre, and to delegations or interested interested citizens. An excellent presentation was made by members ofC.LO.C.A. covering covering such aspects as terrain, facilities, facilities, wildlife, various present uses of the area and the future development, development, expansion, acquisition of more property and future use of the property. In the study there was a paragraph paragraph stating that hunting could be gradually phased out. After the presentation there was the opportunity for delegations or private citizens to voice their feelings, feelings, opinions and hopes for the future future of this area. I feel that we are most fortunate in this country to have governments that are concerned enough about the public to acquire areas such as the Long Sault so that some areas in our country will always be accessible accessible and available for the use of the public. One message came out of the meeting loud and clear from the people who live in the vicinity of the Long Sault area. Hunters and hunting are not wanted in this area. The statements that were made by the majority of the people were based mainly on emotion and what is commonly referred to as the "Bambi" syndrome and it is very difficult to argue with facts against statements based on emotion. One councillor could not understand understand that conservation is compatible compatible with hunting. One of the problems with the responsible responsible hunter is that he is a loner who does not get his message across to the public so that he can be understood. The responsible hunter is not a bloodthirsty, beer swilling killer who prowls about, destroying everything that moves. FACT: Wildlife populations are not threatened by hunting pressure, pressure, but are mainly controlled by aberrations in weather, habitat destruction destruction and in some cases by lack of sensible predator control, by diseases diseases such as rabies and by natural population fluctuations. FA.GT: Hunting is one of the., , safest of all sports, based on statis-,: ' Flying Dutchman Atoms Tie Game with Stouff ville tics. Far safer than a great number of sports that the "condominium conservationists" watch on television television every weekend. FACT: Most of the most effective conservation, rehabilitation and restocking programs have been initiated, initiated, funded and carried out by hunting groups, e.i. Ducks Unlimited, Unlimited, feeding of winter deer in the Loring and Peterborough Game Preserve areas and the many projects projects funded by the Ontario Federation Federation of Anglers and Hunters, to name a few. As far as a philosophical argument argument between hunting and conservation conservation goes, I do not agree that there is any argument. Conservation Conservation of game does not imply prohibition prohibition of hunting. The majority of active active conservationists started out as hunters and the love of hunting does not conflict with the desire to improve the environment or protect protect wildlife. I myself have built, erected and maintained thirty • bluebird houses to try to aid an endangered endangered species to re-establish itself. itself. There is no philosophical conflict conflict in my mind with this activity and with my desire to hunt. Hunting is a privilege, not a right. The privilege can be taken away. The hunter is judged by his actions. If you destroy property, shoot road signs, throw beer bottles, shoot domestic animals, invade private property you are not a hunter, you are a law-breaker. If the privilege to hunt is taken away from the serious, serious, responsible hunter because of the actions of a few law-breakers it will be a sad day. The new boundaries in the Long Sault area for hunting are fair ones. The dates for hunting in this area are fair. I ask you on behalf of all serious hunters to respect both the boundaries and the dates, as well as the rights of adjoining landowners landowners so that our privilege to hunt may be maintained. To carry it one step further, the future of hunting in all rural Southern Southern Ontario depends entirely on the hunting fraternities' ability to convince convince our law-makers that we are responsible citizens who cherish the privilege than we now have and will work to protect that privilege.

This is the strict legal interpretation on the issue of whether or not a municipality should donate funds to Ethiopia. But, fortunately, many municipalities have taken the approach approach that it's people who are important and not laws. In other words, a municipality may .be technically unable to give a cash contribution contribution to the aid of Ethiopian Ethiopian famine victims. But cities, towns and townships have decided decided that the moral issue should supercede any squabbles over whether famine relief is a federal or a local jurisdiction. So although it's technically technically wrong for a municipality to make a donation to the Third World for famine relief, I doubt if any taxpayer will call in the police. Certainly few compassionate compassionate individuals would bother to protest. protest. The situation is similar to that of discovering discovering a fire in a neighbour's house. If you could easily see that the blaze could be extinguished, would you break down the door and put out the fire or would you consult consult a legal opinion concerning concerning whether or not the laws of trespassing would apply. The final arbitrator in legal matters is really really no jury or judge or court. The final authority authority is common sense and reason. Laws exist only to remind us what is considered to be fair, reasonable and just. It's reasonable that small municipalities are not allowed to squander taxpayers' money on lavish aid to the Third World. That's not their purpose. But it's only reasonable reasonable to allow token gestures gestures support if there's an impending emergency, provided that only a modest sum is contributed towards a reputable relief agency. An expenditure of, say, $250, is less than half of what many municipal councillors will bill their municipalities municipalities for expenses this year. This kind of donation wouldn't even pay for a single civic banquet or buy the ballots ballots in the next election. election. Municipalities are a reflection of the people they serve. The community community at large has been concerned over the famine in Africa; it's only reasonable that a municipality should also show some con cern. Public entities such as cities and towns have shown that they have a human heart. As we frequently hear at this festive season, season, it's the thought behind behind the gift that counts. Fraudulent Mail Order Scandal The Ontario Provincial Police Headquarters in Toronto have issued a caution to homeowners on a fraudulent fraudulent mail order scheme. A firm representing itself as "Federal Testing Authority", Suite 718, 130 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario has distributed literature through the mail into several Ontario communities requesting recipients complete a questionnaire questionnaire type form, and return with propter postage. Also, included is a brochure advising that for a sum of $16.80, paid by cheque or money order and forwarded to Federal Testing Authority, Toronto, the participant will receive one of twenty various prizes "Free", with a value ranging from $262.95 to $2,000.00. Police forces across Ontario have been alerted to this scheme and any householders receiving mail from "Federal Testing Authority" should contact their local police force or O.P.P. detachment.

The Flying Dutchman Major Atoms Toros battled to a 3-3 deadlock with the Atoms from Stouffville, in "a game played at the Darlington Sports Centre on Saturday, Dec. 22nd. Stouffville scored the only goal of the opening period after less than two minutes had elapsed. The Toros evened the count when Marty Burgess scored, with the play being set up by his linemates Ryan Stewart and Kyle Purdy. The visitors scored again to go into the lead at the 2:28 mark. The third period was started off with a goal by the Toros' Terry VanLonden to again tie the score. The assists on the play went to Jason Edmondson Edmondson and Chad Armstrong. Stouffville went into the lead again, scoring with 1:12 remaining remaining in the game. The "never-say-die" Toros evened the count on a great effort by Todd Cannings who received a perfect pass from defenceman Neil Bateman. Eddie Strickland Strickland played in goal for the "Dutchmen" and made some great stops to earn the tie. Bowmanville was without the services of Steve Desmedt for the game.
