Wheatley dumped the visiting Sailors 5-1 and 5-2 to take a two game lead in the best -of -seven series.. The third game of the series will be played in Goderich, Saturday at 8 p.m. and the fourth game is scheduled for Sunday, April 1 at 7.30p.m. If a fifth game is necessary it will be played in Goderich, Wednesday. The Sailors a eeva nce rnaturally speaking Ev- er heard of the Owl Rehabilitation Research Foundation? Until I listened to presentation at the Sportsmans Show by Larry and Kay McKeever, I had no idea that any such organization existed but now I am happy to report that it does, and I'm glad it does. The ORRF concerns itself principally with owls, but does get involved with other birds of prey. Most of its work revolves around the rehabilitation of injured birds brought to them with the idea that these birds will be returned to the wild. They have an amazing 40 percent success rate. The birds that are not completely rehabilitated are used as foster parents for young birds brought to the station and are also used in breeding and restocking programs carried out by the McKeevers. The cases that are too severely damaged are "put down" humanely and the bodies used for extensive research in surgery techniques, physical autopsies and microscopic lab examinations. These examinations are essential for deter- • mining the validity of future diagnoses as well as providing material for parasitical and chemical analyses. How these birds are injured is of course one of the main questions asked of the McKeevers, and they have a ready answer. The greatest. per- centage of injuries to the smaller owls is a result of collisions with cars while with the larger owls it is gunshot wounds. TV towers and high wires also cause a great deal of injuries. There is one category of damaged owls which they receive; however, which disgusts them more than anything else. These are birds that have been injured by so called "naturalists" and "bird lovers". Bird watchers have been known to harass owls so much by keeping them awake during the day, that the bird soon loses condition and is so fatigued that it literally cannot fly out to hunt at night. Since owls have high energy requirements, when. this stage is reached it is only a few days away from starvation. Only recently, the McKeevers had to rescue a rare great grey owl from birders who were trying to add this great bird to their life list. Then there is the person who finds a nest of young owls and promptly proceeds to clear away all the protective cover around the nest in order to photograph the owlets. This usually results in the adult abandoning the young with death as a result. The person that takes young birds of prey from their nest is usually no better. Being completely untrained biologists, (a trained one would never remove the bird in the first place) they invariably feed the young raptor a steady diet of hamburger. These birds NEED the calcium obtained from the bones of small animals and without it, their own skeleton weakens and collapses under the owl's own weight. This is usually the pathetic condition the bird is in when the McKeevers receive it; an underdeveloped skeleton with multiple frac- tures. Owls are an important link in Mother Nature's chain of balance, and should be treated as such. The work .the McKeevers are doing is fascinating, revolutionary, and writing new chapters in the science of raptors. If you are a real naturalist, you can do two things 40 help birds- Of prey. One is to leave them alone in their natural" 'environment. The second is fo make a tax deductible donation to the Owl Rehabilitation Research Foundation. This is a good way to "put your money where your mouth is", and really de something more than pay lip service to conservation.

McKeever." d to the Wheatley series with an exciting 5-4 win over Mildmay in the seventh and deciding game of that series in Mildmay last Wed- nesday. Dan Colquhoun returned to the lineup for the final game and made his presence felt scoring one goal and adding three assists in the Sailor win. Goderich led 3-1 after the first period of play on goals by Colquhoun and two by Rick Fremlin. Mildmay outscored Goderich 2-1 in the second period as Fremlin completed his hat trick with the lone Sailor goal J in the second period. Goderich led 4-3 heading into the final 20 minutes and Paul Kelly scored what proved to be the winning goal early in the final period on passes from Dan Duncan and Ken Meriam. Mildmay narrowed the margin to a single goal late in the period and despite consistent pressure were unable to score the tying goal and send the contest into overtime. The games in Wheatley were closer than the score might indicate. The Sailors trailed Wheatley 2-1 in the first game before the home club scored three goals in the final eight minutes to win 5-1. Wheatley lead 1-0 after one period of play but Graham Hamilton tied the score for the Sailors in the second period. Andy Herring of Wheatley scored his second goal of the game late in the second period to give the home town club a lead they held throughout the rest of the game. The story was much the same in the second game as Wheatley scored three goals in the final period to dispose of the Sailors 5-2 and take a two-game/lead in the series. / Wheatley got off to a fast start and held a 2-0 lead after the first period of play. Dan Duncan got one back for the Sailors in the second period and Rick Fremlin evened the count at 2-2 with a goal early in the final period. Wheatley took ' over control of the game from that point peppering Sailor netminder Dennis Fleishauer with 22 shots and counting three goals in the 5-2 win. Fleischauer was sharp in the first two games and faced a total -of 69 shots. The Sailors directed 51 at the Wheatley goal. sports Clinton Mustang goalie Derek Divok, kicks out a shot from "oldtimer" Kenny Robinson (dark sweater) during an exhibition game last Saturday night.

Figure skates put away A party on ice marked the final skating day for the '78-'79 season ,for the beginners last Saturday. Miss Julie Twynham, - junior professional coach, was in charge and everyone had a good time. Even some tests were passed: Jennifer Jewitt, beginners test, Susan Jewitt, elementary test. Congratulations, girls. We hope you had a good time with us this season and made some im- provements 'in your skating ability. Before you know it, it will be October again and we'll be off and skating once more! Meanwhile, during the summer, there will be a Bluegrass some of the most popular Blue Grass hands, the Kent County Pickers, the Humber River Valley Boys and A Touch of Grass will be descending on Brussels on May 27. The groups will be performing a .special concert at the local arena as part of the - village's annual Carnival Da s. special Vanastra skating school offered from July 23 to August 3. It is named National Skating Test Learn to Skate Program for children at the badge level. Anyone who would like an application form, phone our secretary Carol Fox 482-9760 or the Vanastra arena. At a high test day held at Vanastra on Saturday, March 24, Brenda Dupee passed the Kilian dance. Congratulations Brenda. This week is the last for the intermediates and seniors. There has been no word yet as to an annual meeting date, but rest in •assured there will be one if you want the club to begin again in the fall. Now is the time to look ahead and make proposals of any am- bitious ideas for the 79-80 season. This year was difficult enough to operate and shift 125 skaters from Vanastra to Clinton at mid-season without having the planning of a carnival. But how about a super duper carnival next year?
