rnaturally
speaking
If you are heading gut to do a little exploring in
the back country, it is a good idea to go prepared
for the worst. All too often I've seen people
Striking out on their cross country skis, wearing
what I would consider is less than minimum
amounts of clothing. Sure, I realize that this style
of skiing is a very vigorous sport, but I'1' oet that
these people have never considered the
possibility of a broken ski or a malfunctioning
'binding when they are "way out in the back
forty". A half mile hike through knee deep snow
is hard enough when you are properly dressed,
let alone wearing light pants and ski boots that
look more like oxfords.
If you are planning on leaving the groomed
trails at all, you would be well advised to carry a
few extras along in a light knapsack. A light vest
(down or fiberfill) and a cheap pair of
snowmobile boots won't weigh that much and
could possibly avoid a real tragedy.
Snowshoers are better off in that they are
usually dressed a little more reasonably as
heavy .'clothing does not hamper their
n ovements. I usually wear a down vest with a
heavy hydro style parka over everything. The
parka stays open when I'm on the move to help
ventilate and avoid "sweating up", and gets,
zipped up when I stop. If I do find I'm heating up,
it's the vest that comes off, NOT the parka. When
using the layer principle, always remember that
it's the middle layers that should be added to or
subtracted from, not the inner or outer shells.
There are several important items that find
their way into my parka pockets at the start of
winter and stay there until the snow melts. A
waterproof match safe with strike anywhere
matches, a good pocket knife and a coil of copper
wire are the most important. The matches are
self explanatory and with the knife and wire, I
can effect almost any repair to a disabled
snowshoe, even splinting up a broken frame. A
big field pack full of accessories is not necessary,
but a little thought and a few simple items can
go a long way toward avoiding a lot of hardship,
at the least.
Hypothermia is a killer, and its symptoms
should be known, and recognized by anyone
venturing off the beaten track. Most outdoor
magazines have carried an in depth article on
the causes, symptoms and effects of
hypothermia and should be referred to for a
more complete understanding.
Frostbite is another companion of the winter
traveller, and should be guarded against. Your
local library or doctor can probably supply you
with all the. information you need regarding
these afflictions.
Winter can be a hard, merciless opponent or a
beautiful, enshrouded wonderland. The way you
approach it can make the difference between a
fight for your life or a beautiful, rewarding ex-
perience.
Mustangs take
fourth loss
The Walkerton Black
Hawks, -looking more like
a hockey team than :they
did in Clinton one week
ago, scored late in the
third period last Friday
night to + beat the
Mustangs 2-1.
The loss was only
Clinton's fourth of the
year but a victory by
Listowel on the weekend
enabled the Cyclones
once again to take over
second place in the
Central Jr. "C" league.
The two teams,
Walkerton and Clinton,
each traded goals in the
first period as Mike
Gibbings scored the
Stangs only tally of,the
night. The second period
was scoreless and
Walkerton..notched the
winner at 16:29 of the
third period.
Both goaltenders -
Derek Divok for Clinton
and Steve Bott for the
Black Hawks. played well
as Clinton outshot
Walkerton 37-31.
The Mustangs travelled
to Hanover last Tuesday
night with some of the
Clinton midgets in the,,
line-up as the Stangs are
hampered by injuries and

Ramblings from the races
' By Lois Gibbings
Area residents were
shocked and saddened to
hear of the death of Ron
Feagan, 36, at his farm
near Dundas on Friday
night. In a career which
has spanned over 20
years of harness racing
since his early training at
the Goderich track, Ron
has won over 3,004 races
and horses he has driven
have' earned over $6
million in purse money.

in London. In 1964, Ron
and his grandfather,
George ' C. Feagan of
Goderich, purchased the
yearling pacer H. 'A.
Meadowland for $1,300.

had earned $137,343 and
had a record of 1:58.2.
Included in his many
wins was the . Canadian
Pacing Derby in Toronto
in 1966.
On June 26, 1978, Ron
set a new -track record of
1:59.1 with the pacer
Jambo Dancer at
Western Fair Raceway in
London. ,
We extend our - sym-
pathy to all his family
and friends as he will be
greatly' missed.
