After ; •e second occurrence, Stevens
dn,u, 't c.•, i ; either the Ministry of Natur
Resources (ram) or the Ontario Provin-
cial Police (OPP) because "after I c
ed the first tfnne they were very non -
ch.: ant. All I wanted them to do was
drive by because they would have seen
the trucks by the roads. I didn't think it
would do any good to call."
They (the person Stevens spoke to at
MNR) actually suggested : s me that I let
someone trap on our .1.< <d. I was to ; g
high what was happening and he was
tallying down to me. It was almost as if
he was saying you'll ' s ve to leaser w! t
it's like here," says Strvens.
"I couldn't believe nen. reactaion. I sent
letters : , Ottawa and to the premier (last
week) . I don't want to get shot."
Terry Matz, a conservation officer at
the MNR in Wbngharn says his seam has
no record of a comp,: int from Stevens.
"We didn't hear about anything such as
this. When people are drinking and hun-
ting, or trespassing, that's what interests
us" says Matz.
Stevens says the employee she spoke to
identified himself as a part-time biologist.
"I can't figure out who in this office
would fit that description. We're here to
serve the people and look after them but
they need to help us too," says Matz.

the MNR before charges are laid.

area, they still spend a lot of time in
London but plan to move to the sanc-
tuary in early summer. They want to fit
into the community but they are not go-

"If the people want to walk it (the
sanctuary), that's fine, but leave your
.gins at the road."

It was a eIld day en November ath.
My friend and II were getting a movie to
watch that afternoon. As we waited in
the car while her nnotlaar was • buying
scene popcorn and soft drinks for us, II
Bevy something II woagM never forget.
Out in the cold, raw wind steed an old
man named George McMurray. He was
wearing a long, dant trench coat and e
navy blue leeeion beret. A bright read
puppy was clearly viable on his lapel. He
proudly walked up the street carrying a
tr er of poppies. The people who weed
tap to him smiled as they put a donation
in the tray and took a poppy. Mr.
McMurray was a ne' : bear who lived
near my house.
Just then, a young man drove his red
convertible next to tine Inman and park
his car. The young mann jumped out of
his car. He vas , carrying a brie? case.
Mr. McMurray walked tows the young
man, smiled and asked it he would like
buy a poppy. The young man replied,
"Not now Cramps, I'm busy." I saw Mr.
McMurray's face and my heart sank
deep into my stomach. How could t; ,. t
man s th:t? No matter wh.::t the
wea t t er, Mr. McMurray had sold poppies
every year. He loved seeing the people
and it was a special tribute to t 's best
friend, William, whom he had met and
spent two years with during World War
II. William was killed in a fiery explo-
sion. Mr. McMurray would be about the
age of the young man in the red conver-
tible when Cana', an troops entered t ,e
t,�,
el
war. fie hod l alai4ed. Wbeei
Mr. McMurray was lard for the vara
he and NS wiW were
e was proud to give up those
precious years with his wife and now
born son to fl a : t for his count.
Olden when my ffrieads and H wan*
walk past, Mr. McMurray would invite
in for some milk and comes. e used to
notel stories of the war. My mem
says .he won a medal for bravery after
trying to save his best friend, William.
II lniow them will aiways .be thoughtless
people in this world, but Eta glad there
are also men like Mr. McMurray, who
gave wap so much so we could live in a
free coanantrv.
