HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1978-06-22, Page 6A PAGE 6-CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1978 Soccer club wins again By Rosemary Armstrong The Clinton soccer team did it the hard way on the weekend, when they played Oakridge 'B' from London and came out the victors by a 3-0 score. - Oakridge turned , up with only nine players - a turn about from last season when it was usually Clinton playing two or even three players short. Clinton was in com- mand from the outset despite playing the worst first half I have ever seen. The players had dozens of good scoring op- portunities, but half-time came and went with neither team on the scoreboard. Gary Hesslewood, in goal for Clinton, was never severely tested, while the Oakridge keeper was the busiest player on the field. Clinton finally scored after nearly 70 minutes of play, and only when it seemed the exhausted Oakridge players had no stamina left. A cross from Juergen Hellman hit the cross bar and Grant Clark was on the spot to slam the rebound home. This completely demoralized the opposition and minutes later, Don Armstrong was in alone with a long through ball from Victor Kennedy and made no mistake putting Clinton two goals up. Only seconds later, Alex Harrett, who had worked like a Trojan the whole game, and was, , in my opinion, the best player on the field, capped his efforts with a beautiful shot from the 18 yard line that was labelled all the way, for the top left hard corner, giving the keeper no chance and making the final score Clinton 3, Oakri4ige 0. Clinton play again this Saturday, June 24 at 3 p.m. when the opposition will be Strathroy in the First Round of the Third Division Cup, here at the Clinton Arena field. Colts snap losing streak by Bob Livermore Last Friday evening, the Colts snapped a three game losing streak by drubbing the London Athletes 13-6. It was only the Colts' third victory of the season against five losses. Colt, rookie pit- cher, Danny Proctor, gained his second win of the season. The Colts opened up very quickly against the Athletics by scoring five runs in the first inning, Cal Fremlin opened up the inning with a walk. Greg Burns singled and then Butch Fleet walked filling the bases. After two more walks and three London errors, the Colts had all but put the game out of reach early. Clinton made it 7-0 in the second on three walks and two singles by Greg Burns and Paul Bartliff. After the Athletics picked up two runs in the top of the third, the Colts rallied for three more runs to take a com- manding 10-2 lead. Greg Burns led off the third with his third straight hit of the game. After a pass ball, Butch Fleet singled Burns home. Bob Livermore then singled Fleet to third and then Livermore was cut down in an attempted steal, Fleet scored from third. London picked away at the pitthing of Proctor the rest of the game, and in doing so, scored four more runs. Clinton gathered their final three runs in the fifth on three walks, a hit batsman and a single by John Hart. Clinton managed only eight hits in the contest, but were aided by 11 walks. Proctor eliminated London to only four hits, but walked 10 London batters which continually kept him in jams. Greg Burns led Clinton at the plate with three hits in four trips to the plate. Single hits were stroked by Cal Fremlin, Butch Fleet, Bob Livermore, Paul Bartliff and John Hart. Smile "What's the matter with you?" asked the cop at 3:30 a.m. "I'm lost," explained the wanderer. "Don't you know your way hoxne?" "Sure I do, but that ain't where I want to go." /0 Naturally speaking By Steve Cooke "Please do not feed the bears!" These signs appear every year in parks throughout Canada and the U.S. A more plainly worded sign could not be posted, yet every time a bruin wanders out to the road, there is always a gaggle of dimwits there shoving out sandwiches, cookies, etc. to it. What is it that make people do such stupid and dangerous things. Bears, whether they are black, brown, griz- zlies or polar, are wild, unpredictable animals that are ALWAYS eminently dangerous. They definitely are not pets even though T V shows such as "Grizzly Adams" make them out to be. People cry out against violence and raw sex being shown on T V but, like it or not, those two items are much more a part of our real life than shows like "Grizzly Adams" ever will be. The real Grizzly Adams (born James Capen Adams in 1805) did in fact tame grizzly bears. In his own account written in 1860 he became a bear hunter and commercial meat hunter in the early 50's. He describes the methods he used which for the most part consisted of killing the female bear and then training the cubs by beating them into submission. The real man was a far cry from the gentle old man and big bumbling bear we see on T V. What does this have to do with bears in parks? How can an intelligent person expect a child 'to watch someone frolicking with a bear on television one day and understand a command to "stay away" the next. To them, every bear is a gentle Ben. The so called preservationists are all too ready to jump on th'e hunter every chance theyi get, but who do they scream for when a tragedy (like the three young boys that were killed by a bear this spring) occurs. Everyone blames the bear, but how do you tell a bear there is no more food when you run out. It'll probably never be proven, but I'd bet my bottom dollar that the killer bear had, at some time in the past, lost its natural wariness of humans through indiscriminate feeding or garbage dump foraging. Never trust a bear or feed one. If you con- tribute in any way to semi -tameness, you've probably signed its death warrant, or worse yet, someone else's. J R.K.
