Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1979-04-19, Page 6PAGE 6 —CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1979 For baseball Not enough Pee Wees Although there will definitely be Tyke and Bantam minor baseball teams in Clinton this year, the possibility of a Pee Wee division is still uncertain. Although two registration days, April 7 and 14 were held at the Clinton arena to allow boys to sign up for baseball, only eight possible Pee Wee boys between the ages of 11 to 13, showed any interest in playing this summer. Unless more °lavers are naturally speaking registered within the next two weeks for this category, there will be no Pee Wee baseball in Clinton this year. Any possible players are - asked to contact Doc Miller at 482-7397 or Butch Fleet at the arena. The Tykes and Ban- tams had a good turnout and Clinton will have those teams in the WOAA this summer. Over 25 players registered for Tyke play, for boys 7 to 11 years old, and over 15 signed up over the two days from the Bantam team. All boys who were interested in playing organized baseball in Clinton over the summer must register. An association meeting will be held on April 19 at 8:30 p.m in the ;irons to Clinton Minor Soccer REGISTRATION discuss coaches, managers and financial resources. Also to be discussed is the possibility of arranging a bus trip to a Blue Jays' game on a Saturday afternoon for interested minor ball players. FINAL DATE SATURDAY, APRIL 21 10:30 A.M. - 1:30 P.M. at the Clinton Town Hall For ages 5 to 16 years. Proof of age, and a photograph are necessary for registration. Ramblings from the racetrack REGISTRATION FEE: 1.00 PER PLAYER '20.00 MAXIMUM PER FAMILY Fishermen can help themselves to better fishing by spending a few moments improving habitat each time they go out. While this is true of almost any kind of fishing, it is especially effective when applied to brook trout streams. The typical brook trout stream in this part of the country is a small, fast flowing, cold water creek. The things it must provide for the trout are food, shelter and spawning beds. Natural food is difficult to supply to trout and spawning channels are expensive to build and maintain, but the angler can and should help the little brookies out by creating little pockets of habitat for them. Anyone who has fished the tiny streams of Ontario knows that log jams invariably hold at least one nice sized speck along with several smaller ones. These jams are also relatively easy to build, and a half hour spent creating one on your first outing of the year will probably reward you with several fish in the pan during the course of the season. The easiest way to build a dam is to gather up as much fallen timber as you can find in the immediate area, keeping ani eye out for an especially stout piece to use as the key log. When you find your "key", wedge it firmly into place, either straddling the creek, or with one end firmly secured on the bank and the other in the water. This is the most important part of the structure so it pays to take your time here. Keep in mind that as more material is added to the structure, more pressure is brought to bear on this particular log. It is more than a little 'frustrating to have a jam almost completed then have it break away and go floating off down- stream. Once your key log is in place and secure, the rest of the work can begin. The next few pieces of wood should be jammed against the log with the idea of holding back the rest of the material. It is then a simple matter of adding more branches and logs to the pile until the desired size is reached. Invariably some of the branches will work loose and float away on you, but by adding a little each time you fish the stream, you can create an effective and permanent home for a large trout. In the late fall, when the water is low, several log jams can be started quite simply for the following year. This involves little more than setting the "key" logs in place. If the logs are set properly and firmly, they will catch debris washed down in the spring freshets creating instant hotspots for the coming year's fishing. The serious trout fisherman also knows that brook trout like to "lie" in the smooth water just in front of boulders when feeding and in the slack tail eddies just behind when resting. While it's difficult to manouever large boulders into position in the middle of a stream, the same effect can be obtained by piling up more manageable size stones at the head and tail of riffle areas. One of the big advantages of these structures is that they are far less noticable than log jams and can provide some pretty elusive fishing for the builder even on streams that receive a lot of heavy pressure. One of the best things about stream im- provement is that you are very, very unlikely to get any complaints about doing it. I personally do not know of any landowner who would object to an offer to "help increase the number of trout in his stream," and that is precisely what creating habitat does. The next time you are out fishing, keep an eye open for areas that could stand a little improvement. You may even find yourself taking a half hour break from fishing. By Lois Gibbings Gord Rapson of Holmesville and William O. (Ted) McLean of Goderich Township arrived home recently to blustery winter -type weather with six horses they have been training at Seminole Raceway, about 12 miles from Orlando, Florida. Enjoying the southern sunshine since mid- November have been Deeflect, a three-year-old gelding by Reflected Way, and two-year-old Gorlyn Babe by Allwood's Pride. Both are from the Rapson's trotting broodmare Sassy Dee. The McLeanss had their three-year-old Penn Hanover -Deep Run Grattan filly, Deep Run Penn, and a two-year-old trotting filly Deep Run Lucky, by Allwood's Pride -Deep Run Speedy.

Gerry Roebuck drove Jolly Killean to a third place finish in the fourth for owners Ron McGee and Lionel Arbour of Goderich. Randy McLean was first with J.J's Bravo and fourth with Victoria Princess. Tony Bay was third for driver Randy McLean and owners Lorne Brown and G. Ross McEwan of Clinton at London on Ap- r. 7 in the second race. Randy was not so for- tunate in the third when Captain Betty fell going to the quarter. According to reports it was Bob McLean, Randy's dad and Captain Bettys owner from Goderich who brought her to a halt after she resumed racing without her driver. Hullet rRose had her second win of the year for owner Ed Bezaire of Seaforth and trainer - driver Tom Strauss at Mohawk Raceway on Apr. 8. Merrywood Hoot, owned by Nancy Holmes of Clinton, finished second at tl e same track for driver Jerry Duford on Apr. 7 night. He is .presently stabled at Clinton with trainer ,Walter Oster. At London on Apr. 9, Harlo Champ, owned by Lorne Dale of Clinton, was third for trainer - driver Bill Caldwell, while Ross Battin was fourth with Mr. State Hill for Ron Kerr of Goderich. Rosemarie Horner reports the arrival of a new filly foal by J.R. Henry and their brood - mare Muskoka Belle. Our own Astra Blaze had a new'colt by Way Kid on Apr. 8 at the farm of Wayne and Margaret Allin, near Londesboro. The proud owners of the new arrival are Harold Gibbings and Ernie Brown of Clinton. Smile Gasps of amazement and a loud applause was heard by an audience of over 200 at the Clinton Public School when Robyn Hicks treated the Early Childhood Education'concert with some twists, turns and flips in her gymnastic routine. Robyn has now been asked to entertain the Huronview residents.
