It was appropriate to have the tournament held on this date since exactly eight months earlier, October 25, 1987, the Minnesota Twins had won the World Series. ’ Many thanks go out to all the people who volunteered their time to help make the day a big success. Special thanks to Bill Deline, Andre McCutcheon and Gary Stratton, who all helped to fix up and line the field as well as set up the hamburger and hotdog area. Special thanks to the store and .Mrs. McGuinness for ordering the food and trophies. Over ninety children participated in the tee-ball and softball games this past season. The league stresses sports- manship, participation and improvement of skills. We are not concerned with which team finishes first. All coaches should be congratulated ‘on the wonderful job they did. Each year a noticeable improvement in play is evident. Volunteers are always needed, so if you are interested in helping in the coming season, please contact Pat Waldera, Without the help and time given by so many people the league and tournament never would have happened. s very special thanks go out to all the people who volunteere who had no children of their own in the league.

DATED at Dease Lake, B.C. this 1st day of Septem- ber 1988: D. J. Munn District Manager Ministry of Forests | Cassiar Forest District Bear Repellent _ Cont’d from P. 1 Both Jonkel and officials with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service prefer this sort of a deterrent because it is non-lethal and could end up saving a lot of the bears which otherwise might end up dead. The other advantage, he adds, is that bears repeat- edly exposed to the spray become conditioned and even- tually learn to avoid humans altogether. This sort of aversive behaviour would then be passed on by mothers to their young and eventually reduce the number of ag- gressive human-bear encounters. Jonkel admits most of the testing has been with captive bears, but he adds, that in the five cases he knows of where it has been used on wild bears it has repelled them successfully each time. On these occasions both black bears and grizzlies were encountered. Jonkel admits five tests in the wild is a small number, but, he says, it is hard to find volunteers. Peter Clarkson, a biologist with the N.W.T. De- partment of Renewable Resources in Inuvik who has tested other repellents and deterrents on polar bears in the North, says he doesn’t know of any cases where the product has been tested in the N.W.T. “We got hold of some in 1986 when we were working with bears near Churchill, Manitoba, but we didn’t get permission to use it, so I don’t know how it would work on polar bears.” Many of the American advertisements bill the product as effective against human assailants as well. But, Morrow points out, this is not legal in Canada and will not be a part of the advertising campaign.

The Hyland sawmill will survey 1;600 hectares of previously harvested forest lands in the Upper Liard Valley to help plan restocking efforts. The sections of white spruce forest being surveyed were logged during the last 10 to 20 years by former operators of the sawmill. The company also plans to restock the tracts of forest it is currently harvesting. : Before tree planting and other silviculture ac- tivities can begin, Hyland must first identify the areas from past cutting which have not regenerated naturally. The company will then determine the most effective reforestation methods for those areas. Ninety-five per cent of the costs for the survey, up to $45,000, is being funded by the Canada/ Yukon Renewable Resources Sub-agreement. Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) is providing 90% of the project funding, or $40,500, and the Yukon Department’ of Economic Development is providing 10%, or $4,500. SAFARI CHEYENNE GO ANYWHERE AND TAKE ALL YOU WANT! The regeneration survey will involve a systematic tree count and examination of the surrounding terrain and environmental conditions. Maps outlining the den- sity of trees, by area, and relevant site conditions will be produced from the survey. An additional regeneration survey, in the com- pany’s Coal River cutting area, is being conducted this “year by INAC’s Forest Resources Division. Reforestation is a common practice in other re- gions of Canada and in other countries where forestry plays a major role in the economy. Since the re-opening of the Watson Lake sawmill in May 1987, forestry has once again become a sizable renewable resource industry in the Yukon. Hyland Forest Products’ reforestation plans are consistent with the principle of sustainable economic development and with the forestry objectives outlined in the Yukon Economic Strategy. The Renewable Resources Sub-agreement assists studies, inventories, and demonstration and industry development projects which aim to expand and diversify the Yukon’s renewable resource sector.
