Wants black bear management top provincial priority Ontario's largest conservation organi- zation has called on the Ontario government to make black bear management' and education a- higher priority. In an 11-page brief presented to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, the 24,000- member Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters made 21 specific recommend- ations. The democratic sportsmen's' group states: f 1 Wildlife management must become cognizant of the need for more com- prehensive manage- ment of all wildlife species: 2. The Ministry of Natural Resources should initiate an educational program to correct the miscon- ceptions of the public about black bear; 3. Education should be implemented on the edibilitv of black bear meat. so that Section 30 of the Game and Fish Act is enforced where bear are killed and the carcasses left to spoil; 4. The public needs to be educated on the risks involved when they enter into areas populated by bears; 5. The Ministry - of Natural Resources should encourage the Ministry of Education to cooperate in providing information to teach basic wildlife biology programs in elementary schools: 6. The Ministry of Natural Resources should assess the data obtained to date on the black bear to determine yield capability ratings. and population projections. If present data is considered inadequate to accomplish this, the implementation of a meaningful data gathering program will be required; 7. The Ministry of Natural Resources should maintain a licence structure for black bear, divorced from moose and deer licences; 8. There should be one annual licence covering both seasons with a bag limit of one bear per licence: 9 A mandatory return of all coupons complete with requested information from all licences issued/ should be implemented; 10. The spring and fall bear hunting seasons should be set using biological data; 11. The taking of any bear in the spring hunt should be permitted; 12 The trapping of black bear under the Game and Fish Act should be reviewed; 13. The 11 and 12 recommendations ___re- quire public education and a close monitoring of their long term effect on the bear population; 14 _ No bear should be killed within 4% mile of anv dump; 15. Nuisance bears at dumn sites should be eliminated with the written authority of the Ministry of Natural Resources; 16. Dogs used for legitimate bear hunting could be started at dumns: . 17. The placing of restrictions similar to those concerning the hunting of waterfowl, whereby bait sites are licenced and hunting is restricted to a specific distance should be implemented; 18 Management peonle should be aware of and discourage the development of prac- tices in hunting that give unfair advantage to the hunter; 19. Baits 'should be identified by licencees to ensure the removal of the occular, obnoxious, and offensive pollutant after the hunt is com- pleted: 20. The firearm and bow requirements for bear hunting should be the same as_ the regulations applied to North Simcoe communities miss OHRP Housing Minister Calude Bennett today announced grants totalling more than $3.5 million to 88 municipalities under the Ontario Home Renewal Program (OHRP). However no North Simeoe community is amongst those receiving the grant. Administered by municipalities, the program assists homeowners to upgrade their homes, with the emphasis on faulty structural and sanitary conditions, and on plumbing, .- insulation, heating and electrical systems. Loans of up to $7,500 are made to eligible owner-occupants who wish to bring their homes up to standard. A portion of a loan may be forgiven, depending on the recipient's income. Interest rates range from zero to eight per cent. again depending on income. For applicants, the Page 22, Wednesday, April 22, 1981 maximum annual qualifving income, after deductions allowed under the program are made. is $15,500. Bennett said that since OHRP was launched in 1974, almost $130 million in provincial funds has been given to some 670 municipalities across the province, and to individuals in unorganized ~ commu- nities. "That translates into repairs being carried out with OHRP financial incentives in some 30.000 homes. It's a measure of the program's success and popularity," he said. New construction alone cannot meet all the housing requirements of Ontario residents, he said, and OHRP reflects the need to conserve and im- prove existing housing. OHRP benefits are available to eligible owner-occupants in all municipalities which have adopted minimum housing standards bylaws or resolutions establishing standards. In communities without municipal boundaries, OHRP is administered Obituary Ron and Joy Mynard recently returned from a 10 day Carribean Cruise which no doubt was their answer to the winter blahs.

The Ministry of Natural Resources should consider im- plementing regulations governing the use and types of dogs for the bear hunt.
