PARKHILL - At the North - Middlesex Arena in Parkhill, there has been a. tremendous jump in numbers of minor hockey players. The increased number is partly due to a large number of new fami- lies moving td this area, according to First Vice -President, Wilf Con- way. At a pre -registration held in Grand Bend, a good number of players signed up from the resort own. Making the novice travel team, from the Bend are Jeremy Jennison, Bryce Kadlecik, Jona- thon DeJong and Shawn Maguire, with a few changes still to come, reported coach Ken Eagleson. Kevin Maguire, new coach for the Samrock Atom Tea, has picked five Grand Bend boys, namely, Si- mon Desjardine, Jake Morgan, Ma- thew DeJong, Tommy Maguire and goalie Jonathon Lovie. The Pee Wee travel team has re- tained one of the biggest and best defensive players from last year, Chris Stanlake, who will be joined by little brother Michael, Warren Heist, Aaron Brooks, and Jamie Chalmers. Moving up to coach the Shamrock Pee Wees is Mike - Chalmers, one of Parkhill's finest and well-known coaches in this area. Jason Soldan will mind the net for Parkhill's Bantam A tea, with Brad Page Jr., Bill Jennison, Jeff Farrington, and Bob Mollard, join- ing the Midget team Wilf Conway as coach. It looks like a great year in Park- hill for all levels of hockey, and most teams begin their games this weekend. On the minor hockey executive are Ken Symons, President; _Con- way, First Vice; Ed Hatfield, Sec- ond Vice; Tammy Jennison, Tress- • urer; and Bert Walker, Secretary. So now you know who to phone if you want to help with any fundrais- ing etc. See you at the arenas! Controlled deer hunt in Perth WINGHAM - A four day con- trolled deer hunt will take place this fall in Perth County. The season will run from Monday December 4 to Thursday December 7, 1989. Only shotguns andmuzzleloaders may be used. Wallace Township is not included in the hunt. The coun- ty has been divided into 2 units known as 86A and 86B. The town- ships of Logan, Ellice, North East - hope, Elma and Mornington are in 86A; Hibbert, Fullerton, Downie, South Easthope, and Bianshard are in 86B. To participate in the hunt, all hunters must obtain a free valida- tion tag and attach it to their deer li- cence. A hunter whose chief occu- pation is farming or who owns, or rents and resides on a parcel of land of 50 acres or more in either 86A or 86B is eligible for a tag in that unit. One member of the immediate family who resides on the same property is also eligible for a tag. The hunter must sign an affidavit to verify one of the above condi- tions and submit his application to the Wingham District Office. Other Ontario residents who do not quali- fy as farmer/landowners must enter their name in a lottery -type draw. A total of 155 tags were availa- ble in the draw; 85 in 86A and 70 in 86B.

I recently purchased a magazine called Beckett's Baseball Card Monthly which lists current market prices for old cards and I' was astonished to learn what some of them are going for these days. The magazine, published by some guy named Dr. James Beckett, (no relation to our illustrious publisher we think), and the reason it comes out every month cards prices change monthly like stock pric- es change each day. Each month it lists which player's cards are go- ing up and which ones are going down in value. It lists which players are hot and cold for collectors: Believe it or not, some players are on both lists. Some of the hot.players now are; Will Clark, Kevin Mitchell, Bo Jackson, Ken Griffey Jr. Jim Abbott, Ruben Sierra, Tom Gordon, Nolan Ryan and Fred McGriff. Making the cold list were Pete Rose, Sam Horn, Greg Jeffries, Gary Sheffield, Matt Nokes, Chris Sabo, while Don Mattingly and Jose Canseco made both lists. Many people were interested in the most recent issue because it told which Pete Rose cards would be worth after being barred from baseball for life by the late commissioner Bart Giammatti last month. Anybody with Rose cards had better sett them soon because they are likely going down in value according to the magazine. Mickey Mantle cards are probably worth more that any other player but even some Mantle cards are worth more than others. Rookie cards from any player that went to to be a star in baseball, are usually worth quite a bit of dough. It just so happens that 1951 was a banner year for rookies. The Whitey Ford rookie card in mint condition is worth $900. Joe Garagiola's and Jackie Jensen's rookie card are going for 5100 each but that pales in comparison to the big ones. 1951 was the first year for superstars Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle. Mays, who won Rookie -of -the -Year honors that year, is fetching $1,600 for his debut card and Mantle's is worth a whopping $5,000 in mint condition. But that is not the most valued Mantle card however. The 1952 Topps double printed card is valued at 56,600, again only if it is in mint condition. When I was growing up I always collected baseball cards and hockey cards because several of my friends did as well. When that particular season was over my friends would come to school and throw all their cards away because they didn't want to hang on to them. I was different, I kept mine and I am glad I did because they are valuable now. The hockey cards are probably worth more than the baseball in Canada. Two of the most valuable baseball cards I have in my possession is George Brett and Robin Yount rookie cards. Both players came ,uP-in..1974.-Lak tete- 'Ryan cntds ifotYt-three different years, one Reggie Jackson, three Hank Aarons, one Al Kaline and one Brooks Robinson, and a few other rookie cards that are precious. According to the latest issue of Beckett's Monthly, those Brett and Yount cards are worth 565 and 555 respectively. The oldest card I have in my collection is a 1968 Denny McLain, who won 31 games . that year, and I thought that would be worth a fair bit. But because McLain spent time in jail, it is going for just over $1. I have quite a few other costly cards from 1970 through 1978. I checked all my cards of value in the magazine and if they were all in mint wiidit)iorr, whin iclrtfortuiiateiy uuey-are nut, my collection of 0 One other bit of interesting information about the magazine is it lists upcoming cards shows across Canada and the United States. This lets all the dealers know so they can plan to attend. But it also explains the different categories of defects. Any card must come fresh out of the package.and straight into a plastic container to be considbred in mint condition. I think I will hang on to mine fora while longer and see what hap- pens. They will likely keep going up in value but time will tell. * -* • * • * • * At the start of the baseball season I said the Toronto Blue Jays will never win their division with Jimy Williams as manager and 1 was right. As far as my picks went I %a; riot too-farvff•in' the American League. 1 picked Oakland in the West Divsion and New York in the East but said the Blue Jays would challenge for the lead if they dumped Williams. Not many picked Baltimore to have the year they did and not many picked the Tigers to be as bad as they were. My National League picks were way off. I picked the Mcts and Reds to win and predicted the Cubs and Giants to each finish fourth.. I did say the A's would win the World Series and will stick with that prediction. they will dispose of the Blue Jays in five games and The Giants will beat the Cubs in six. Oakland will the the San Fran- cisco Bay Series in six games. • sponse to an increasing deer popu- lation. Most counties and regional municipalities in southern Ontario have had controlled deer hunts for the past few years, and the deer populations continue to increase. Conservation officers will strict- ly enforce the deer hunting and trespass regulations during the event.
