Important Deer Hunt Regulation Change This year, the 1 Ministry of Natural Resources has changed the regulations for the deer hunt in Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) 75. The 'Controlled Hunt' has been replaced with a regular. 'Selective Harvest Hunt'. The hunt will remain remain as a 4-day shotgun hunt running running from the 1st Monday in November through Thursday (Nov. 6-9 for 1989). There are two basic types of deer hunts in Ontario. The 'Controlled Hunt' limits the number of hunters that hunt in any designated controlled controlled hunt unit. A hunter with a controlled hunt.permit can hunt any age or sex of deer that he wishes. The 'selective harvest' hunt allows any hunter that has a valid deer licence to hunt antlered deer. To hunt an antierless deer (a doe or fawn), a hunter must be successful in a draw for a limited number of permits available for each unit. The anterless portion of the deer population is the important reproductive component, and by carefully controlling the number of anterless permits helps the ministry manage the deer population. Anyone wishing to hunt antlered deer can do so with the purchase of a deer hunting licence. However, to hunt antlerless deer, a hunter must apply for an anterless validation tag for the unit he/she wishes to hunt. Hunters will receive an application form when they purchase their deer hunting licence available through private licence issuers. This application application must be submitted to Wildlife Branch in Toronto by July 31st of each year. The above information applies to landowners in WMU 75 as well. , i WNIU 75 was originally established established as a 'controlled hunt' in 1982. Qvfcr the past six years the number of hunters who applied to hunt in WMU 75 were eligible and received a tag. At the same time trespass problems have been limited and declining. During the 1988 hunt there were only two trespass complaints complaints Tor WMU 75. Over the past ten years the deer population has expanded greatly resulting in increasing increasing numbers of vehicle accidents accidents with deer and increasing crop damage problems. The deer population in WMU 75 will now be managed by the number of anterless permits given out with liberal numbers being available during the present high population level. Although there will no longer be a 'Mandatory Controlled Deer Hunt Report', the Ministry of Natural Resources will be collecting information al the Lindsay District Office Check Station. For further information please contact the Lindsay District Office. Staples, Kim Birkett, Mistie Ovenden, Tracy Schillings, Suzanne Stubbs, Johanna Jlawkshaw, Stephanie Birkett.

Earwigs: by Andrea Clarke, Pest Mangement Advisor In late June, homeowners and gardeners start noticing the ■presence of earwigs. This insect is becoming a major nuisance in cities all over Canada. Earwigs congregate congregate in large numbers and will feed on ornamental flowers and vegetables. An added factor is that earwigs make themselves quite at home in houses. Adults are about 3 A" long and are a shiny reddish brown in colour. Both males and females have a pair of curved, forceps - like protrusions at the tip of the abdomen. The males' forceps are much larger than are the females'. These are used in self-defence and to fold the soft, fan-shaped hind wings beneath the shorter forewings. Earwigs seldom fly, however. Although formidable-looking, the forceps are unable to penetrate skin, but are capable of inflicting a pinch. Earwigs are quite harmless (except to plants) and do not crawl into people's ears -- this myth is completely unfounded. These insects hibernate ' over winter in the soil, near house foundations foundations and in other protected areas. In the spring, the female lays an average of 30 eggs in a cupshaped cupshaped burrow which she digs in the soil. She is very maternal and protects protects the eggs until they hatch and the young nymphs can feed themselves. The nymphs, which hatch from the eggs, are white miniature versions of the adults and will mature in approximately 10 weeks.

Cover, and chill, Whip cream until if forms soft peaks; fold whipped cream into the chilled strawberry mixture until combined. Place in a pan that is 4 inches or more deep, and put in the freezer. Earwigs are nocturnal insects and hide under debris and in dark spaces during the day, emerging at night to feed on plants, organic matter and on smaller insects. In their search for food, they readily enter houses. To control earwigs, homeowners must use both cultural as well as chemical methods. Earwigs like to hide under things, so items such as old flowerpots, doormats, and woodpiles should be removed. Because earwigs overwinter overwinter in the soil, early cultivation of gardens in the spring may reduce their numbers. ' There are a large number • of dusts, sprays, baits and granular formulations of insecticides available which will give some control. control. Earwigs must come in contact with any of these insecticides to be . killed. Chemical treatments should be applied in June or in early July, along building foundations, garages, around wood piles, sidewalk cracks, and shaded tree (Continued - page 12) 0R0N0 WEED CONTROL & DRIVEWAY SEALING • WEED CONTROL • FERUUZIN6 •tweer control CHINCH.

Sprinkle just a touch of fresh lemon juice on the berries, and then sprinkle with freshly-ground black pepper (none other) -- a rather coarse grind.
