CLOCA's decision to aliow the trapping to continue for three more years was defended by Kerry Coleman, a ministry of natural resources officer from Lin- dsay. "Mus'-rats are so prolifie, even in the event of a freeze- Up or disease, they multiply their number SQ quickiy they would bounce back to their previous population in a year or two," Coleman said. He went on to say that, being familiar with West Lynde, he considered it a good way to manage muskra ts. Van der Zyl and Mann said trapping of muskrats shouid be discontinued. "As naturaiists we wish to go on record that we are op- posed to any unneeessary in- terference with nature in a conservation area," van der Zyi said. Mann said he wouid flot be against trapping of muskrats if live traps were used and the animais were taken eisewhere. "Your conscience would be clear if you took the animais away to another marsh, but chances are you BRIAN DEEGAN DENTURE THERAPY CLINIC HARWOOD AVENUE SOUTH AJAX, ONTARIO 683-6074 Now Open G&RTRUCK STOP Homemade Meals Fresh Baked Pies 1 Mile North of Brooklin On Hwy. 12 probabiy killed il anyway," Coleman said. He expiained that muskrats are territorial and existing inhabitants would probabiy do away with the newcomers. With authority approval, tenders were called for muskrat trapping rights in Bowmanviile Marsh, Bowmanvilie Harbor and Lynde Shores Conservation Areas in 1978. Three-year tenders awar- ded to Frank Walsh for $300 a t Lynde Shores and Wallace Terry for $100 in Bowmanviiie expired this month. No compiaints have beeco received by the ministry of naturai resources or CLOCA concerning the operation, according to conservation supervisor Rick Ciow. Walsh had trapped 100 muskrats for an income of $707.35, and Terry had trap- ped 67 muskrats for an in- corne of $569.70, up until the start of this trapping season.

Mini-stor-it opens On November 21, 1978, former Mayor Jim Gar- tshore eut the yellow ribbon that off icially opened the f ir- st phase of a new kind of storage facility in Whitby.

"We're proud of 'Mini- Stor-it', said. George Sullivan, President of Mini- Stor-It Ltd. "It offers over 400 storage units, in varying shapes and sizes. That makes it the iargest faciiity east of Toronto." Mini-Stor-it also boasts another feature, unique to the area. "We're the only complex of this kind with a live-in manager", said Sullivan. "He resides -right on site and is available for assistance at any time. And that's also quite a plus security-wise." Every other necessary measure has also been taken to insure top-notch security, according to Sullivan. The project is fenced and f loodlit. Customers put their own locks on their units, so no one else has access to them. And at the present, management is in the process of instaliing elec- tronic security features. Strategically located just two blocks south of Highway 401, and the same distance east of Highway 12, Mini- Stor-it is easily accessible to out-of-towners as well as local people. It features storm sewers, concrete drivewayg, storage units as smnall as 5' x 5' or as large as 20' x 26', and the free use of a box trailer for moves in. "We think we are providing Whitby and surrounding areas with a much needed service", said Sullivan. 'Many families, especially apartment dweiiers, simpiy don't have the r(><m necessary to store off-season or excess equip- ment" "We cater to a wide varietv of storage needs for home owners. apartment dweliers and even businesses. In fact many of- fices have discovered that storing their dead files at Mini-Stor-it means they can use their expensive office space for more valuable ac- tivilies." *The response to the ser- vice has been very positive so far", Sullivan said.
