Another Afghanistan? by MARY HUBELIT Pursuant to informa- tion gained from last week's Fifth Estate pro- gramme on CBC TV, the Garrison Diversion Dam Project in North Dakota is rolling ahead. This despite Canada's and Manitoba's pro- tests, as well as those of a number of American citizens. The following is perhaps a new look, a fresh approach, to the nasty subject and may have some impact that other pleas have not. Even northwestern On- tario will not be safe if the U.S.A. decides it wants something from here -- think about it! THE GARRISON LEGEND Once upon a time when the great moun- tains were being thrust upward, ever upward, and split and cracked and folded with the agony of the new earth, there were ripples felt far to the east, farther than a man can see. These ripples are called hills, or ridges, and stretch northwest to southeast. In time, all rivers and small streams found their way down and around, down and around the hills, flowing wherever level dictated, seeking the lowlands. New Features Natural Resources Minister Alan Pope to- day announced changes to the 1984 Ontario se- lective moose harvest - in direct response to suggestions by moose hunters throughout the province. Beginning this year, all applicants for a cow or bull tag must first buy a moose hunting licen- ce before entering the tag draw. If their name is not drawn for a valid- ation tag, they may hunt only calves. As well, hunters who applied last year and did not recéive a tag in last year's computer draw will be given preferen- tial treatment in the 1984 draw. All applicants for 1984 moose validation tags will be divided into two pools: one for those who applied last year and did not receive tags and one for those who received a tag last year or are applying for the first time in 1984. In addition, all hunt- ers who apply for a validation tag this year may specify two choic- es of Wildlife Manage- ment Unit. Mr. Pope advised hunters to con- sult the Wildlife Man- agement 'Unit Tag Quotas in the 1984 Moose Handbook, and to choose units that had a ratio of available tags to applicants of 1:2 or less in 1983. Those un- The prairie grasses were sweet for the bison, the trees throbb- ed with bird-song, and everything a man could want to eat in a day could be found in a day. Then the white man came, with his strange belief that everything belonged to him. The grain grower found the land flat and easy to cultivate. He cut down the trees and built houses and opened the land for grains but fail- ed to leave trees and small trees to: hold winter snows and sum- mer rains. Other white men nam- ed the little river "The for 1984 Moose its had less hunting pressure, and applying to hunt in them this year makes it more likely that a hunter will receive a tag. : "The choice of Wild- life Management Unit has a direct bearing on whether a hunter will re- ceive a validation tag,"' Mr. Pope said. "In some Management Units last year, every hunter who applied for a tag re- ceived one. In others, however, the demand for tags was much greater, and this made the chances of not being drawn as high as nine to one,"" he said. Depending on the number of applica- tions in each unit - and St. Berchman's Altar _ Society by ANNE TODESCO The Altar Society members met at Doris Legault's for the April meeting on Thursday evening. The pastor, Rev. Father Groulx led in the opening prayers and Mrs. Legault pre- sented the spiritual reading entitled "A prayer to the Holy Spirit.'"' She extended a welcome to the mem- bers and to Father Groulx. The minutes and financial report were passed for adoption. Existing accounts were moved for payment and the correspondence consisted of several Thank You cards and all were filed. The secre- tary reported Get Well cards were sent to the shut-ins and parishion- ers who were ill, also sympathy cards were mailed to those who had a death in the family. Tickets for the Derby draws are to be made and put on sale. Plans were finalized for the Mother's Day Penny Auction. The committee convening the auction are anxious for more prizes. They are com- ing in very slowly. The President report- ed that the flowers for the church for Easter have been put on order. A discussion was held on the type of program- mes shown on televi- sion. They are detri- mental to the young people's life style. There are too many gang- ster types of shows (murders, drugs, sex). Some evenings, the whole time is spent in shooting, killing or theft, drinking, smoking and many advertising scenes of beer, half clad people or personal fe- male aids. Such enter- lainment feeds the fer- tile minds of the young and naturally they try to imitate such scenes. Much of it is disgust- ing. It is known that some organizations are trying to eliminate such types of programmes and they deserve as much assistance as we parents can give. Following adjourn- ment, a dessert lunch was served. Souris'? and the big river northwest beyond the ridge -"The Missouri". They numbered the seasons - one year between winter and winter. In 1909 two tribes of white men sign- ed a treaty - a peace treaty, they called it - saying that "waters flowing across the boun- dary shall not be polluted on either side to the injury to health or property on the other."' In 1965 after the greedy spirits of both tribes had held their secret meetings and the struggle for power smouldered, messages sifted from people to provided that the unit's validation tag quota can accommodate all the ap- plications - those whose names are entered in the preferred pool can re- ceive a tag. If there are validation tags left over, names will then be drawn from the second pool. The application deadline for the 1984 draw is Tuesday, May 1Sth. "This improves the chances of receiving a validation tag for hun- ters who applied and did not receive one last year. This is being done to distribute tags more fairly over the initial, two-year period,' the Minister said. The total number of adult moose validation tags available for the 1984 hunt will be close io 50,000. As well, two Wildlife Management Units have been add- ed this year to the four existing units which pro- vide special archery sea- sons. The ministry has held three open forums - in Timmins, Sudbury and Iroquois Falls - to dis- cuss the moose harvest system, and another meeting has_ been scheduled for Thunder Bay. As well, the Provin- cial Moose Allocation Advisory Moose Allo- ° cation Advisory Com- mittee will also hold public hearings in Thun- der Bay on April 25 and Sudbury 'on April 26 to Employee health and dental programs which offer e responsible coverage e flexible plan design e ease of administration.

The runoff would be poured into the northward flow of the Souris until it blended with the Assiniboine which feeds the Red flowing into Lake Win- nipeg draining into the Nelson which empties into Hudson Bay. Take a breath now and think about it - the plan of the southern tribe would almost en- sure the power of a Draw examine aspects of the selective harvest that affect tourist outfit- ters. Mt... Pope><said.-.:he wants to examine all the comments raised in the forums before propos- ing any major changes to. future _ selective moose harvests. "But we felt we had to ad- dress a couple of the major concerns now, so hunters can plan for this season,"' he said. The Minister cau- tioned that no change will be made on the current prohibition of party killing of moose until there isa clear con- sensus on the issue. He-added that the ministry will continue to exercise leniency to- ward hunters who re- port shooting the wrong animal. "All incidents will be investigated, and if the facts bear out that the shooting was acci- dental, charges will not: be laid," he said. A Moose Hunters' Handbook for 1984, which explains the de- tails of the selective harvest program, were mailed beginning Tues- day, April 3rd to all hunters who purchased a moose licence in 1983. The handbooks are now available at the minis- try's District of- fices and from licence issuers. _Judge Richey, governor over the workeres of 250,000 acres of farmlands, assuming the farmers believed in him; now try to picture the acreage between the Souris, Assiniboine, Red and Nelson Rivers. So then it was written and spoken from the heart by Richard Mad- son of the Audubon Society, the Manitoba Action Committee, and Jerry McKinney, Michael Carpenter, Ken Arundel, Don Craik, Harry Enns, Casey Dinges, Onno Kremers, Al Mackling and many others, that this was a bad, bad thing to think of: changing' the grasses, trees, animals, birds, fish, because farmers did not leave enough water reservoirs bordering their fields. And so the years numbered from 1970 all the way to 1980 and 1981 and 1982 were filled with talking, and some machines went in to the peaceful ridges and valleys and tore them, and great sums of money were spent, and the torture of the land went on. Also the strug- gle for power still smoulders like a peat bog, wasting, not help- ing, until one feels rage tearing and sorrow eating and wild wishes flung to the sky, which surely must answer soon. And if the governor of North Dakota can be diverted and give his at- tention to safe 'highways, safe streets in his cities, education for all the children of his voters, and compulsory windbreaks around each and every farm in his state, we can all live happily ever after.
