These break-ins generally take place in isolated locations, such as houses with large driveways and well-protected from the view of neighbours. It is quite common for the cu Iprits to drive into a private resi- dence, and when the door is answered, to ask for direction to a residence or to request to use the telephone. _ If there is no answer at the door, the culprits will slide open the patio doors, or simply kick in the door. Once inside, they will remove certain items which are easily portable, and have a high resale value. These items generally include: video cassette recorders, camera equipment, firearms, televi- sion sets, sterco systems, including amplifiers, cassette decks, compact disc players, speakers, and turntables, microwave ovens, jewellery and cash. On occasion, furs have also been removed. Generally, several persons are involved, and the persons responsible are in the homes for only a matter of minutes. Property with a value of thousands of dollars are stolen annu- ally in this manner. Crimestoppers will pay up to $1,000, this week, for informa- tion that leads to the arrest of the person responsible for this crime.

Broad view SS "I have a good picture of the issues the MNR deals with," Running said. He understands "the needs of the people who depend on the resources here in Northern Ontario." = Running is interested in having a lot of input with the people here; in industry, recreation, all groups as well as the township. "There are so many demands on resources," Running said; "now to balance those demands." That is one facet of his job; making everyone happy. Is everyone happy? Running cited an example of these demands by saying the mills in the region, for example, have to be kept fed with the 80- year rotation of tree planting. The harvested areas in this region will be replanted in three years, Running said. "What is cut is re-generated." If roads have to be built in the. area, the resulting effect on trap- pers must be kept in mind. If roads are built, you have to realize what may happen to the fly-in tourist operators, he noted. "There are many demands on the area from different people. You have to find a balance- the greatest good for the greatest "number of people."
