She is by the Bye Bye Byrd sire Armbro Nesbit -Karen B. Quick by Overtrick. If you are looking for something to read con- cerning the outdoors, you're in luck. Canadian outdoor writers are known throughout the world and their best works are easily available to you. Awards are presented each year to the authors of the best works and the competition for these awards ensures that the quality of the sub- missions keeps going up. The Kortright Award is probably the most prestigious of all the awards presented to out- door writers in Canada. This year at the Spor- tsman's Show in Toronto, this award in the book division was presented to Jerome J. Knap for his excellent book, "The Complete Hunter's Almanac". Knap lives in Stoney Creek and is a trained wildlife biologist turned writer. Apart from being the Canadian editor for Field and Stream as well as a regular contributor to a dozen or so major outdoor magazines, he is the author of over 14 books about the great life. "The Family Camping Handbook", "Where To Hunt and Fish in North America", and "The Complete Outdoorsman's Handbook" are just a few of his other accomplishments. Knap also knows what he writes about. He has devoted a lifetime to hunting, fishing, camping and photography and has travelled extensively in Canada (including the Arctic), U.S., Mexico, and Africa in pursuit of these passions. "The Complete Hunter's Almanac" should be a number one priority for every outdoorsman's bookshelf. Greg Clark is probably well remembered by most Canadians for his witty and informative articles. Since he was such an avid outdoorsman and especially a fisherman, the Ministry of Natuna -14 Resources created the Greg Clark Outdoor a"'Editorial Award in honour of his memory. This year's deserving winner is Burton J. Meyers, editor of the well known magazine, "Ontario Out of Doors". I was happy to see Meyers win this particular award as "Ontario Out of Doors" is one of the most complete outdoor magazines published today. Camping, fishing, hunting, conservation and outdoor ethics are only a few of the topics regularly covered in this publication. "Out of Doors" is a magazine that should be on everyone's subscription list. The third award I will deal with here is not strictly a writing award, although it was won by an author. Andy Russell, a noted author, photographer, guide, hunter and conservationist was presented on March 23 with the Winchester Canada Outdoorsman of the Year Award. Russell has been writing since 1945 and besides having articles appear \ in many national magazines, he has also authored seven books. His best known work is "Grizzly Country' which is also his first. He even made a film about grizzlies which took over two years and has been shown throughout North America. Russell has an impressive list of awards which he has won. These include two Honorary Doc- torates of Law, the Julian T. Crandell Award for Conservation, TheProvincial Achievement Award, two Best Non-fiction Book of the Year Awards (for "Horns in the High Country" and "Adventures with Wild Animals"), and Out- standing Individual Contribution to Conservation Award. With an impressive list of credentials like this, it could be easily said that Andy Russell is one of the best authors in Canada. This is only a short list of award winners, and I could go on and on, but it gives you some idea of what you can get without buying imports. Your local bookstore or library can help you order these books, and I can guarantee they'll be a welcome addition to your library. +++ For those naturalists that enjoy doing something constructive for wildlife, there is a new publication available from the Government. The booklet, "Vegetation Management for Wildlife in Ontario", describes the way to manage natural growth to provide birds and animals with their three basic needs; food, shelter and water. The illustrations by wildlife artist, Michael Dumas (45 in all) should alone be worth the $2.50 price tag. Cheques made payable to the Treasurer of Ontarrfb should be sent to The Publications Centre, 5th Floor, 880 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5S I Z8. This would probably be one of 'Libest ways you could ever spend two and a ' half dollars. Atter winning her-•s�.,.,. qualifying race in 2:10.4 for driver -trainer Tom Strauss, Karina was fourth at Mohawk Raceway on Sunday night in her first start this year. She had earnings of $2,359 from four starts last year while in the late Ron Feagan's Stable. Tiny Robinson of Goderich won the seventh race at Orangeville on March 29 with Dillers Demon, while Dale Kennedy of Seaforth finished third with his Dianne Camp in the same race. Amherst Jack, co - owned by trainer Wayne Horner of Clinton, was third in a dead heat at Windsor Raceway on March 29. At Western Fair Raceway on Friday night, Mike Meadows was second for driver Terry Kerr in a 2:06.3 mile. He is owned by Ben and Jean Feagan of Goderich and is trained by the latter. Randy McLean was third in a dead -heat with Captain Betty in the seventh for his father Bob of Goderich. On Saturday afternoon at London, Jay Dee Lonesome, awned and trained by James D. Taylor of Hensall, was third with Art Abbott on the bike. Randy McLean had three drives and finished third on each occasion; with Tony Bay for Ross McEwan and. Lorne Brown of Clinton; with J.J.'s Bravo for Richard Lowthian of London and with' a pacer owned by former Detroit Red Wings hockey star Larry Jeffrey of Goderich, appropriately named R.W. Scout. The_ five- year-old son of Tarport Arnie -Debbie Sue Direct was making his first lifetime start. The winner of the race was Warren's Duke, a three-year-old colt by Warren Noble -Dukes Sal, which was driven by Fred List for co -owner -trainer Dave Shamblaw of Kirkton and J.E. Willis of St. Marys in his first start this year. He was timed in 2:10 for the mile after a sizzling qualifying time of 2:05.3 on March 23. Warrens Duke was driven last year by Frank MacDonald of Clinton in all six of his races, in- cluding three wins in a row, two seconds and one third. He took his record of p, 2:07 at Clinton Raceway as a two-year- old. Alonzo Adios finished fourth at Windsor on Sunday afternoon with trainer Gerald Aiken up for partners Gord Pullman and Jack Mcllwain of Seaforth. Ron Williamson also had a fourth with Willas Ferrica for Bruce and Ted Lamont of Seaforth at Mohawk on Sunday night. Smile Heard about the guy who filled his water bed with beer?

(photo by Wilma Oke) Sailors down two games BY DAVE SYKES - With the help of questionable calls on two disallowed goals the Wheatley Omsteads carry a two -game lead over the Goderich Sailors in Intermediate C playoff action. Wheatley took a qui k two -game lead in the series with victories of 5-1 and 5-2 in Wheatley last weekend. But the Sailors got right back in the series with a 5-4 win Saturday before dropping a 5-3 decision Sunday to trail 3-1 in games in the best -of -seven series. The fifth game of the series will be played in Goderich, Wednesday, April 4. Game time is 8.30 p.m. If a fifth game is necessary it will be played in Wheatley, Friday. The Sailors were full value for their 5-4 win Saturday but needed a late third period goal by Scott Parks to secure their first victory of the series. Wheatley led the game 1-0 after one period but the Sailors rallied for three straight goals in the first four minutes of the second period to lead for the first time in the series. Wheatley wasted no time in erasing that deficit scoring twice before the end of the second period to tie the game 3-3. The Sailors again took the lead midway through the final period ona goal by Graham Hamilton with an assist going to Dan Duncan. Wheatley tied the score with just three minutes remaining in regulation time but Scott Parks nailed down the first Sailor win scoring at 18.06 from Rick Fremlin and Dan Colquhoun. Colquhoun, Sowerby, Kelly, Hamilton and Parks scored the Goderich goals. The Sailors had dif- ficulty clearing the puck out of their own zone against strong Wheatley forechecking in the fourth game and it was costly as the visitors racked up an early lead and forced the Sailors to play catch up hokcey. Wheatley scored three times in the first period, added two goals in the second and were able to sit on their lead in the third period en rout to a 5- 3 win. Wheatley scored three times in the first period and Goderich could have been right back in the game but a goal was disallowed, the referee ruling it was tipped in with a high stick. The Sailors got back in the game early in the second period as Rick Fremlin tipped in a rebound after linemate Colquhoun was foiled by Paul Anthony in the Wheatley net. Wheatley responded with two more goals to take a com- • fortable 5-1 lead. Grant Shelton put the Sailors within striking distance scoring in the final minutes of the second period from Paul Rau and Cal Fremlin. The Sailors pressed in the third period but were only able to count one goal,with a two-man advantage, by Dan Duncan who slapped in a rebound on Ron Sowerby's shot from the point. The series has been a hard hitting one and a few grudges are developing between players and team supporters. Sowerby and Wayne Cowell were set to square off Sunday but the bout produced few punches. Dan Duncan was also involve din a skirmish at the end of the game in which Joe O'Rourke of Wheatley was assessed a game misconduct.
