Townships want wolf
bounty, Ministry says
it doesn't -work
Wolves at one time were
seemingly extinct in Huron
County but recent action by
township councils within the
county indicates that the animals
are increasing in numbers and
becoming a problem.
Herb Clark of the Ministry of
Natural Resources in Wingham
stated that the ministry has
received several resolutions from
township councils in Huron
County to reinstate the wolf
bounty. He also anticipates that
all of the townships will
eventually ask for the reinstate-
ment of the bounty.
However, Mr. Clark said it has
been proven that the wolf bounty
' does, not alleviate the problem of
damage to livestock. Farmers
may collect a bounty but they are
:• not compensated for damage to
, livestock. Under present legisla-
tion the Ontario government
does pay damages to a farmer but
only if the farmer can prove that a
volf did the damage.
If the bounty were reinstated
he person who kills a wolf would
receive payment but farmer
would not be compensated for any
)amages done. A wolf bounty
.ystem was in effect in the County
'ut was abandoned about two'
,ears ago.
Mr. Clark believed that the
'ounty system is a burden and or
tit added expense to the tax-
payer. He has not received many
reports of damage in the Wing-
ham area but there were seven
claims for 'damages in the town-
ship of East Wawanosh last year.
Mr. Clark is confident that the
ministry's present legislation on
wolf damages is more beneficial
to farmers. Since the recent
changes the townships have now
appointed evaluators to evaluate
wolf damage to the livestock. A
claim form is submitted by the
evaluator to the township and
then processed by the Ministry of
Agriculture.
Colborne Township Reeve
Doug McNeil said that residents
in that township have been very
fortunate and there has been no
damage caused by wolves, of
which he is aware.
Goderich Township Reeve
Gerry Ginn stated that there have
been definite wolf problems in
that township and the council has'
approved the resolution and sent
it to the Ministry of Natural
Resources. Mr. Ginn claimed
that incidents involving wolf
damage have increased within the
last year and that the once almost
extinct animal is now on an
ipward trend in the county.
The resolutions rendered by
the township councils will be
forwarded to the Ministry of
Natural Resources head office in
Toronto.
pants are helped to reassess their
aptitudes and skills. "They are
helped not only for work,_but for
living," as Dr. Brooker puts it.
Brooker gives as examples the
typist who is encouraged to
increase her speed so that she can
apply with confidence for a job;
the university student who is
ihown how to concentrate better;
and the schizophrenic who is
taught how to relate differently to
others.
The workshops serve as a
launching pad for six months or
so of follow-up once the patient is
back in the community setting
where help and guidance are
continued.
The Clarke Institute's rehabili-
tation services looked after some
375 patients last year -- actively
placing more than 200. of them in
new work or learning environ-
ments.
The Institute works with
Canada Manpower and other
employment agencies to return
Mental patients to suitable and
fulfilling work -- to put them back
on the tracks as soon as they're
ready. And, with ongoing care, it
offers help when needed to keep
them there,

Mental illness no
longer a disgrace
Statistics show that one Cana-
dians in eight will at some time or
other undergo psychiatric treat-
ment.
In most cases such .treatment
merely means putting back on the
right tracts those who may have
wandered off them -- which is
easy enough to do.
For mental illness has its roots
mainly in problems of living, and,
says Dr. Harvey Brooker, a
. psychologist at Toronto's Clarke
Institute of Psychiatry, "There's
a very thin line between coping
and not coping with life...people
with psychiatric problems aren't
that much different from so-called
'normal' people."
It's the realization of this in
recent times that has led to more
humane and practical treatment.
Mental illness is no longer talked
about in whispers; its sufferers
are no longer shunted to some
quiet institutional siding to be
left.
For instance, patients at the,
Clarke Institute, once they have'
undergone medical treatment for
a specific problem, are actively
helped back into their family,
employment • and community
roles. '
The people who provide this
rehabilitation come from a variety
of disciplines: they are psycholo-
gists, occupational therapists,
social workers and nurses.
For patients whose acute
depression or anxiety affected
work or personal relationships,
and caused them to seek help in
the first place, it may be difficult'
to pick up the threads of their
former lives when they return to
the community.
Rehabilitation programs at the
Clarke and elsewhere help make
the transition easier by conduct-
