No easy solution to the sleepy teen years First comes the phase of parenting when youngsters wake up bright-eyed at dawn. That's swiftly followed by phase I: teenagers who go to sleep past midnight and then slumber through pleas, shouts and loud alarms the next morning. And then there are those marathon snoozes on weekends. Social forces 'are undoubtedly at work, but maybe something biological is going on as well. For many kids, the onset of puberty brings alterations in the sleep-wake cycle. Teenagers get sleepy later than preteens; and, there arc probably more reasons to stay up late. That doesn't mean they need less sleep. Indeed, research has sf.own that many teens need as much as 9-1/2 hours of sleep for maximum alertness. But during a typical school week, they get much less sleep. They may have to travel long distances to school, then there are extracurricular activities, part-time jobs and a social life that cut into a teenager's sleep time. There's also an important safety issue connected to adolescent sleeping habits. A significant number of drivers aged 16 to 25 have accidents because of having fallen asleep. There is no easy solution to all of this. If your teenager drives a car, do discuss the value of a good night's sleep as a safety issue. And remember that kids who take to their beds for 12 hours are not merely challenging your authority. They may really need the ZZZs.

MNR has concerns about deer hunt applications The Ministry of Natural Resources office-in Wingham has observed a notable increase in the number of applications for the selective harvest draw for deer hunting. There is a concern that some hunters may have unintentionally applied for the wrong deer hunt using the new telephone application system. Two types of hunts In Ontario, there are two types of deer hunts. The selective harvest, and controlled deer hunt. Both are administered in a draw format, and have specific application deadlines. Selective Harvest The deadline for the selective harvest has just passed. This year, hunters were encouraged to enter the selective harvest draw using the ministry's new telephone application system. The selective harvest allows hunters to apply to hunt antlerless deer in specific management units. Examples of management units in the Huron/Perth area with selective harvest draws for the gun season are 84 and 82. A complete list of Wildlife Management Units with selective harvests can be found in the provincial deer hunt fact sheet. There are also opportunities for selective harvest deer hunts in areas with an archery hunt. Locally, this would include areas 85 and 86 during the archery season. Again the complete list of Wildlife Management Units for the archery season can be found in the provincial deer hunt fact sheet. Controlled Deer Hunt The controlled deer hunt is locally referred to as the "gun hunt". In order to enter the controlled deer hunt draw, hunters must complete an "Application for Controlled Deer Hunt" form and submit this to an MNR office by no later than 4:30 p.m. Sept. 3. People cannot apply for this hunt by using the new telephone application system. Hunters who qualify as a farmer or landowner do not have to enter the controlled deer hunt draw, but must submit .their farmer/ landowner affidavit to an MNR office by no later than Oct. 16 at 4:30 p.m. For further clarification, please contact the local MNR office.
