 I was  talking to Ruth Cluett , Garnish town clerk, yesterday and she told me that  the new rules governing the use of ATV's on the town  roads is going very well and they are  going to continue.

I THINK ITS TIME WE TAKE A LONG LOOK AT THE FUTURE OF MOOSE HUNTING IN NFLD! I HAD A BULL ONLY LICENSE LAST YEAR THAT WASNT FILLED AND I SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THE WOODS IN AREA 36 SOUTHERN SHORE! I DIDNT SEE MANY ANIMALS AND I COVERED A LOT OF GROUND. MY BUDDY CURTIS ALSO HAD A BULL ONLY LICENSE THAT WASNT FILLED!  MAYBE THERE IS NOT AS MANY MOOSE HERE IN NFLD THAT EVERYBODY THINKS! MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE LESS LICENSES ISSUED OR OUR MOOSE POPULATION IS GOING TO BE ENDANDERED!

They were all returned to their enclosures not long after by park officials.

Two lynx also escaped during the storm, one of which was live trapped later by employees. However, the…

There were a couple of meetings in Glovertown to address the black bear issue in the region and while most of those who attended the sessions were not totally satisfied, they are going to give the government plans a try for a couple of weeks. More than a half a dozen officials from different levels of government met yesterday morning with the residents, and all came to the conclusion the sudden influx of bears can be attributed to the closure of the nearby dump. Glovertown Mayor David…
