Reporter - Mandie Fluke Something To Think About "MOURNING BEHAVIOR" Is mourning natural? Consider the fact that It Isn't only poople who mourn. Scientists have watched what they call "mourning behavior" In animals as well. The famous biologist Konrad Lorenz studied goose and learned Hint when one partner ol an adult pair of goose dies, the other one mourns. First, Iho remaining partner trios to find whore Iho other ono has gono, searching everywhere. Evon though the gooso may bo a strong, lull- grown adult, all ol a sudden II starts running away from oven Iho youngest and woakosl gooso. Usually very pushy and aggressive, It becomes vory shy and won't approach human bolngs or go to Its feeding place. Although It has boon away from Its parents and siblings lor a long time, It goes back to thorn again, acting much younger than It really Is, Other biologists who study monkeys and apes say thoy'vo soon similar kinds ol mourning behavior among those animals.

May 27, 1987 11 Durham East Agricultural News Sea Cadet Happenings By JoelBagg, Farm Management Advisor Provincial Budget Slates Record Five Hundred and Sixty-three Million Dollars for Agriculture The Ontario government announced five major initiatives initiatives to help the agricultural industry, setting aside a record five hundred and sixty- three million dollars for the Ministry of Agriculture and Food in the new provincial budget. In his budget statement, Treasurer Robert Nixon said low commodity prices, declin ing farm asset values and high debt loads are still squeezing Ontario's agricultural sector. A Farm Management Safety and Repairs Program will provide $50 million to assist farmers with farm analysis and planning, farm safety, machinery repairs and shop equipment, and on-farm feed and grain storage. Under this program, the government will pay up to $2,500 per farmer. All farmers with a gross farm income of at least $12,000 per year are eligible for the program which runs from June 1, 1987 to May Thirty-one, 1988. Another new initiative for agriculture is a Land Stewardship Stewardship Program. This program will provide $40 million over three years to encourage sound land management practices. The program will provide financial assistance to farmers for restoring soil productivity and reducing environmental damage on productive and marginal lands. This will improve the stewardship of Ontario soil and water resources which will be needed for future generations. The Treasurer also announced announced changes, valued at $18 million which will increase the total value of farm tax rebates by 17 percent. The amended Farm Tax Rebate Program increases the level of farm tax rebate on agricultural land and buildings from 60 percent to 100 percent. The farm home and one acre will be assessed at the farm property tax rate. To speed the rebate process, farmers will receive the annual rebates in two instalments instalments beginning in 1988. Also, the pre-payment requirement to qualify for a rebate is being eliminated. The budget also makes a commitment to extend the Beginning Farmers' Assistance Assistance Program for five years.
