Once again I say "We are fortunate living
in this area." Recent fires in the Los Angeles
area destroyed 25 expensive homes and,
damaged five other costly homes. 300 acres
were burned with $3.9 million in damages.
Other fires, in southern California, burned
nearly 35,000 acres. Our sometimes severe
winters here are much better to endure than
the fires that are so common in. California.
Psychologists and researchers, I have
read, have identified emotional, psycholog-
ical and functional needs in people which
often are satisfied by pet owners hip. Some
reasons for owning a, pet, they say are: to
provide the satisfaction of giving and
receiving complete and total love and
devotion; to provide respite from loneliness
caused by age, childlessness or social
factors; to fulfill natural human need, to feel
needed by another living creature; to
provide a feeling of security; to provide
entertainment and amusement. Certainly,
some at least, of these apply to me and my
dog Sheba.

Brusseisfest success
Wroxeter boy, 13 killed
Rocky racoon's life story This year's Brusselsfest turned out to be a
successful event as the Optimists fed over
400 people at the Brusselsfest Supper and
even more showed up later for the contests
and dance.
The winner of the Gong Show was Susan
Langlois who picked up 28 points with her
portrayal of Edith Ann. Other entries in the
contest were the Brussels Lions (as por-
trayed by the Optimists) with 24 points,
Hells Angels with 24 points, Walter Wandris
and the Brussels Sprounts with 21 points and
the Blue Pigeons who were gonged.
Carolyn McClure of Walton turned out to
be the best liar in the Liars Contest and
scored 28 points. Other entrants in the
contest were Wayne Bell with 25 points,
Helen Adams and Linda Stevenson with 23,
Jim Garniss with 21 points, Frank Jacobs -
17 point, Murray McArter - 17 points and
Mary Dilworth - 7 points, Herman Plas - 8
points and Pauline Gulutzen.
The Master of Ceremonies was Floyd
Herman and judges for the events were

Wingham Kinsmen and Larry Wessenberg, •
president of the Seaforth Optimists.

freezing temperatures. Our
dens or "homes" could be a
hollow log, stump, tree,
cave, or ledge. Sometimes,
we even live in barns,
garages, or deserted homes.
However, by January-
February, the male raccoon
will be up and about seeking
a female. Once a male finds a
receptive female, he will
move into her den and stay
with her for 1-2 weeks before
mating occurs. He then
leaves and goes his own way.
By late April to early May, 1
to 7 furred and blind young
are born. The young rac-
coons' eyes open in about
18-23 days but by 10 days of
age they are already sporting
the familiar black facial mask
of our species. This is the
most dominant characteristic
which identifies us. We also
have as many as 5-10 rings
on our tail. This contrasts
sharply with our overall grey
colouring.

Hullett master plan unveiled
$1.7 million could be spent
BY DEBBIE RANNEY
Hullett Township reeve
Joe Hunking was presented
with the master for the
development 2400 hectares
(6000 acres) of the Hullett
Wildlife area last
Wednesday, a plan which
would make the area one of
southern Ontario's most
significant wildlife habitats.
Implementation of the plan
would cost around $1.7
million.
The master plan was
presented to the reeve at a
meeting held in the hullett
Maintenance buildings.
Ducks Unlimited, a
privately funded
conservation organization
has offered its help in paying
a major portion • of the
financing and is expected to
contribute tip to $1 million
'for the project and other
funding for such things as a
visitor's service centre, reads
and parking areas will come
out of the MNR's develop-
ment funds.
Norm Richard, district
manager of the Ministry of
Natural Resources (MNR)
office in Wingham explained
that after several years of
studying the area, the master
plan will be the official policy
for the development and
management of the area and
told some of the history
behind it.
It was back in the early
1960's that the area was
identified as a potential wild-
life management area but it
wasn't until the early 1970's
that the first parcel of land
was acquired. The last parcel
of land was acquired in 1976.
Mr. Richards said that
since then, the major
problem has been finanical.
He said that the Ministry still
has approximately five
ptoperties to be negotiate for
and it looked like in most
cases they would get them.
When presented with the
master plan, Reeve Hunking
said now that Ducks
Unlimited was helping he
hoped things would really
get going.
"Maybe in a few years,
we'll have a little more to
show for what we've been
doing," he said.
The wildlife area floods
only in the spring and fall
and the MNR hopes that the
development of the master
plan will allow them to hold
the water for a longer period
of time than nature allows.
The master plan states that
the unpredictable nature oft
water levels which vary from
year to year discourages
nesting since sites can dis-
appear rapidly as flooded
lands drain. Water level
fluctuations also influence
food production since
shallow waters must exist for
prolonged periods of time
before valuable plant life
becomes established.
According to the master
QUALITY
plan it was decided that if the
area could be permanently
fooded, it would constitute a
major waterfowl habitat
location within Southern
Ontario. In order to
accomplish this, it was pro-
posed that a dam be con-
structed in the northwest
sector of the property and
that the flooded land be
subdivided by means of a
system of dikes.
