regular attendees are out enjoying the hunting season. Membership chairman, Wayne Yaroshko, reported that so far this year we have a total of 353 members. Membership salesmen were reminded that memberships must be handed in promptly to ensure that members are getting their “Outdoor Edge” magazine and that their insurance is valid. It is expected that some members, who have forgotten to renew for this year will come forward as the various hunting seasons are opening. A day will be chosen to put up the two windmills for aeration in the trout pond. It was reported that some benches, et cetera have been donated to help with the sprucing up of the area for the enjoyment of all in the Biggar area. It has been too wet for the Parks Board to cut the grass in the area. Larry Tavanetz, Fisheries Chairman, reported that three entries have been received so far to qualify for BWF awards. He reminded the members
present that to enter for fisheries awards: weigh the fish (take a picture of the scale when weighing, if possible; measure both lengths and circumference (girth); enter by phoning Larry Tavanetz, Fisheries Chairman, at 948-3864; refer to the Angling Guide environment. gov.sk.ca/fishing. Graham Bindle has been appointed as the Gun Club representative. He will be furnishing a report of the Bear Hills Gun Club to each meeting of the BWF. It was reported that the BWF participating at the Biggar Centennial Celebrations on Saturday, July 2, was very successful and a popular attraction on Main Street. The SERM Resources Trailer, with many displays and exhibits regarding wildlife management, proved to be very interesting for young and old alike. Hide bins will once again be available at the junction of Highway 14 and 4, on the north east corner, once the season begins. The fall regional meet-
ing of the wildlife branches in region 5, will be held in Saskatoon, on Sunday, Oct. 23. Delegates attending will be Milo Hanson, Wayne Yaroshko and Gisela Yaroshko. Preliminary discussions were held regarding landowner rights regarding “No Hunting” signage versus “No Trespassing” signs. There was some dispute about the law. This area will be researched for clarifications and discussed at the next BWF meeting. Jim Vancha was instilled as the new President of BWF, with Milo Hanson stepping down to be First President, Larry Tavanetz remains as second VP, while Wayne Yaroshko will stay on as Membership chair and Gisela Yaroshko remains as Secretary/Treasurer. Meeting was adjourned. Next meeting set for Tuesday, November 8 at the Westwinds. Any member wishing to receive email notification of BWF meetings or other information, contact ymva@sasktel.net.
