tc hbntmfflmmw 8liilli6kfflsfiwmsimi dear editor rf thank you foj your- letter regard ing your concerns of gypsy- moth infestation in scugog township the works committee of the region of durham of which i am a member received a lengthy presen tation from astaff member from the ministry of natural resources- which helped us understand the nature of the problem from this source it is my understanding that only by counting egg sacs over the winter can the ministry know the editors mail krakmmc extent of the next years infestation magnitude also understand that sprayingxtf the larvae must occur in the middle range of the its eight- step development phase in order to be effective for the caterpillars to ingest the chemicals sprayed by may 15 each year failing this there there is no other alternative to destroying the caterpillars short of burning the sacs themselves which could only be managed appropriate ly if a small number of trees were in question this would obviously be difficult foryou arid your neigh bors if the infestation covers many acres which apparently it does only weather factors in the winter can help eradicate or at least reduce- the gypsy moth from season to sea son thus the ministry is faced with an extremely uncertain and indeterminate problem in subse quent years costs prohibit them fromspraying just in case there is an infestation apparent for subse quent years- there are some envi ronmental questions still surround ing spraying as well which the public insists we address for the last for years we have been kept appraised of develop ments by the ministry of natural resources regarding trie gypsy moth problem we intend to liaise as closely as we can with them and hope that they carry out their responsibility to the best of their ability to protect our forests im sorry i canriof give you more hope in solving this serious issue from a regional standpoint i appre ciate you keeping me updated of your concerns and i personally will do all i can to advocate for you with ministry officials thank you for taking the time to let me know your concerns linda dionne councillor durham region reader takes exception to column on teenagers dear
