PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, July 16, 1991 - 39 Federation of Anglers and Hunters Purple loosestrife (pictured Ni AEF is killing Ontario wetlands. See story for details. Fresh for Flavor Foundation project As today's consumer is being encouraged to increase their consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables for healthy eating, the Fresh For Flavor Founda- tion has begun a pilot project for a 1-800 consumer telephone line for Ontario during the summer months. The telephone line, which will be in operation Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., will provide consumers with in- formation and answers to ques- tions concerning buying, stor- ing, and preparing fresh fruits and vegetables for best flavor, nutrition and safety. With more than 225 choices of fresh fruits and vegetables available today, it is often a challenge to know how to pre- pare all these items at home. The number is intended to help consumers use their pro- duce purchases fully. It is fund- ed by the produce industry of Ontario. The toll-free number is 1- 800-668-produce.

But local councils must pass relevant bylaws declaring purple loosestrife in their municipality noxious before their weed control officer can act on what's become known as "the purple plaque." The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) has sent a letter to all Ontario municipalities, urging them to act on the loosestrife threat. Purple loosestrife (lythrum salicaria) was introduced to North America more than a cen- tury ago, but has only in recent years begun to devastate wetlands. The plant probably was imported from Europe in ballast water dumped in the Great Lakes. Deceivingly beautiful, the plant's three-foot stems of purple blooms are destroying treasured wetlands across the province. Once purple loosestrife infiltrates a wetland, it pushes aside all in- digenous plants vital to the habitat of this province's fish and wildlife. It has no known predator in Ontario. Although the province has yet to announce a purple loosestrife strategy -- lagging behind many American jurisdictions -- it has allowed local noxious weed status for the plant. Bruce County was the first municipality to use the status to control its huge spread of loosestrife. "You have purple loosestrife in your municipality," Rick Morgan, OFAH executive vice president states in the letter to municipalities. 'In July and August, their blooms tower everywhere, and each year they increase in number. One plant produces 2.7 million seeds, and as they increase, more fish and wildlife become homeless. On- tario has already lost more than 75 per cent of its wetlands since the turn of the century -- we can- not afford to lose any more!" The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, with 74,000 members, is Ontario's largest conservation organization.
