The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1977-03-10, Page 8Page 8 IS THERE A YOUNG HARDWOOD BUSH ON YOUR FARM? THEN READ ON - - - THIS WILL INTEREST YOU! Your bush may be more valuable than you think, par- tivilarly if it contains species such as hard maple, white ash, basswood, and black cherry, You have two choices with your woodlot: (a) You can do nothing and let it grow on its own, OR (b) You can care for it like you do any other farm crop. You are well aware of what would happen in a vegetable garden if it were planted and then ignored until harvest time. The same is true of your woodlot - trees respond to proper care just as vegetables respond to proper cultural practices. Proper woodlot management is not difficult, and it can often double or triple the growth rate of the trees to produce higher profits for you. Just as you weed and thin a vegetable garden, the low-value, crooked, diseased and over-crowded trees in your woodlot need to be eliminated to provide more moisture, sunlight and nutrients for the high-value "crop" trees. To help you make the most of your hardwood bush, the Ministry of Natural Resources offers two free services to woodlot owners: (a) Woodlot Inspection and Advisory Service At your request and at no cost to you, woodlot management specialists will inspect your woodlot, assess its present condition and advise on future management. (b) Woodlot Improvement Service If your woodlot is five acres or more in size and is in need of improvement work to eliminate low-value, non-productive trees, the Ministry can do the necessary work for you at no cost to you. The low-value trees may be utilized by the owner for firewood. Sound interesting? Call or write today for more details.

Fourth game will be played at Huron Park this Friday night at 8:00 p.m. and a win would,send the locals into the semi-final round. An Aylmer win weuld Taylor scored his second of the game with Weido again drawing the assist, Exeter continued to out-play the Cougars for the balance of the game, but neither team could find the range over the final 38 minutes. The Hawks picked up six more penalties than their hosts, but kept the vaunted Mt. Brydges power-play well in hand on the 12 occasions they were short- handed. Shooting gallery On Sunday night, the Hawks came up with their best offensive display of the season in posting the one-sided 15-2 verdict. All three lines were flying high in the tilt and their pin-point passing and shooting had the Mt, Brydges squad completely off balance throughout the contest, The defence repeatedly kept the puck inside the Cougars' blueline and Randy Lovie had a comparatively easy task in the nets. Exeter scored four unanswered goals in the first period and upped their lead to 6-0 before Mt. Brydges got on the scoreboard mid-way through the second period. The Hawks led 9-1 at the end of the second to knock Jamie Eichenberger out of the Mt. Brydges nets and then they fired six past his replacement in the final session. Brian Taylor paced the scoring attack with four tallies, most of them coming on precision passing plays with linemates force the deciding game back on their ice, Monday, The two wins this week were in complete contrast to each other, Exeter came through with a 9-6 Gerald Weido and Rick Ingram. The latter picked up one goal and three assists, while Weido had four assists. Jim Ferguson, moved up from his defensive position to right wing with Kim McKinnon and Don McKeller, fired three suc- cessful shots for a hat trick. On one of his goals, Ferguson raced in to pick up a puck behind the Mt. Brydges net and came around the corner to put it in the wide open side while the goalie was still looking for him at at the opposite side of the net.• McKeller and McKinnon also scored one goal each and the latter had three assists. Ferguson also picked up two assists. John VanGerwen paced the other Exeter forward unit with two goals and two assists, while Ken Pinder picked up two goals and one assist, Their linemate Fred Mommersteeg was credited with one goal. Defenceman Dave Kinsman had two assists and Paul Brooks registered one to round out the Hawk's 33 scoring points. Each team picked up 10 penalties, with the Hawks scoring on five of their power-play op- portunities and the Cougars only once. Game Notes The best crowd of the season was on hand in Zurich and the Hawks responded more than amply to the support...the har- dest check of the night was the one in which Steve Jennison decked a Cougar and referee Murray Butcher at the same time. The latter, who played one season with the Mohawks after many years in Mitchell, took a couple of minutes to recuperate ...the other referee was also a former Mohawk, Ray Richards. That grey and black sweater he was wearing is 17 years old...Dave Kinsman continues to develop into one of the Hawks hardest hitters and his crowed-pleasing hip checks are anything but that for the Cougars as they go crashing to the ice...manager Fred Mom- mersteeg is wondering where Mt. Brydges acquire all their net- minders. Sunday's starter was the fourth they've had this series and the reception he received may indicate Mt. Brydges will be looking for a fifth for this week's contest...those pin-point passing plays the Hawks exhibited are indications that coach Ron Bogart is developing some of the plays he picked up during his hockey course in Russia last summer. The Hawks' con- ditioning is another example.

Exeter could wrap up the series with a win in Mt. Brydges, Saturday, but if the seventh game is-needed it will be played in Zurich the following night. The winner will play the Mit- chell Hawks and that series is expected to open in Mitchell on Tuesday. Mt. Brydges opened the scoring in Saturday's contest when they took advantage of a power play in the opening minute to dent the twine behind Randy Lovie.

Brydges Times-Advocate, March 10, 1977 Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh Back the skaters Happiness is a lot of different things and many of these will be portrayed Saturday night by the enthusiastic members'of the Exeter figure skating club. The annual carnival of the figure skating club is entitled "Happiness Is" and will be held at the Hensall arena begin- ning at 7 p.m. Some of the numbers will feature spring activities such as flying kites, playing baseball and travelling. Visits will be made to Switzerland and England and probably the most important thought is "Happiness is being a Canadian." President Gaylen Josephson and his hard working ex- ecutive along with club pro Brad Loosley should produce one of the best carnivals ever staged. While the number of club members is down this year to about 80 president Josephson is pleased with the progress of the skaters. He commented this week, "It has been a good year for the kids with our pro and coaches able to give better individual instruction." Josephson continued, "Despite the weather and reduc- tion in ice time due to increased costs," I think all in all it is a good year. The president said he wished to spell out the junior coaches for doing a great job in helping Brad Loosley. These include Nancy Underwood, Linda Elder, Eleanor Salmon, Carrie Blackburn, Danette McLeod and Elaine Pym. Due to closure of the Exeter arena, ice time has been split between the Hensall and Huron Park arenas. One of the features at Saturday's carnival will be the appearance of two of Canada's up and coming young skating stars. They are Lorri Baier of Mitchell and Lloyd Eisler from Seaforth. These two youngsters have won a number of awards this year. They won a gold medal at the Canadian cham- pionships in 1977 in the novice pair division and also finished first in the Western Ontario and Central Division com- petitions. - Two members of the Woodstock skating club will also be in attendance. They are Jeff Loosley and Keith Baker. We hear rumours that Snoopy and some of his friends may also show up in a comedy role. We would like to congratulate the Exeter figure skating club in carrying on activities this year under very adverse conditions. They have put in a lot of extra effort in keeping the club going. Parents are also to be commended on their support in driving the extra distances to take their youngsters to the skating session. We understand that clubs in Strathroy and St. Marys were disbanded this year because of the closing of their arenas, Without the special effort put fotth by Gaylen toosephson and his helpers the same thing could have happened here, quite easily. Shirley Hart is vice-president of the skating club, Pat Down handles the secretarial duties and Marie Tieman is the treasurer. The carnival committee consists of Ann Prout, Carolyn Blackburn and Kay Elder. Evelyn Josephson is the test chairman and Grace Adkins is the badge secretary. Direc- tors are Jack and Flo Underwood, Marg McLeod and Agnes Aunger. The figure skating carnival is one of the main sources of revenue for the club so a large attendance is hoped for at the Hensall arena Saturday night. A second fund raising project is a dance at the Kirkton- , Woodham Community Centre on Friday, March 25 when Joe Overholt and his band will supply the music. Do we need fishing licences? The question of whether or not the province of Ontario should have a mandatory fishing licence continues to be a controversial issue. Some Ontario residents have indicated they see no choice but to reinstate the licence system while others feel a licence would restrict the enjoyment of family fishing. Licence legislation supporters argue that there is a shortage of fish hatcheries in the province and monies from such licences would allow construction of new facilities. They also say a licence would be an important tool in fish management. Maintaining fishing licences would allow conservation officers more chances for better enforcement while providing the opportunity to talk to anglers while checking catches and licences. Fees received from licences would also provide more funds for better research and in the long term better fisheries. Opponents of the scheme argue that there are too many licences now. They also feel a fishing licence would stop the occasional angler and his young family from going to a local stream for a picnic and a few hours of fishing. They fear funds derived from the sale of such licences would not find their way to the fisheries branch but would be swallowed up by projects in other departments. Get trapping data The Wingham district of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources recently mailed a questionnaire to all raccoon hunters licenced to hunt at night and all trappers within the district. The questionnaire dealt specifically with raccoon harvest and as to whether the taking of raccoon should be restriced to a period when the pelt would be prime. Over 50 percent returned the query and over 90 percent of these favoured some form of controlled season. Data is still being processed. A second questionnaire will be distributed by mail to a sample of rural land owners within the district. It will deal with the attitudes of land owners towards the use of their land for recreation by the public. Results should be in- teresting and will be reported when they become available.
