Flyers drop second
By Ace
On Saturday, June 2
the Clinton Soccer Club
lost its second game of
the season as the London
Yugoslays defeated the
Flyers by a score. of 4-2.
In the first half, Clinton
grabbed a perfect pass
from Alex Harrett for a
goal. The Yugoslays
fought back and tied the
naturally
speaking
score, when a forward for
the London team cleanly
beat the Flyers net -
minder to the right-hand
side of the net.
Clinton got a break
when a Yugoslav
defender was called for a
hand ball in the penalty
area. Bill Cantelon
slipped the penalty shot
under the goalie to give
Clinton a 2-1 lead at
halftime.
Clinton looked strong
and were on top of the
ball throughout most of
the first half. However,
the next 45 minutes were
a completely different
story.
The Yugoslays came to
life when the Clinton
goalie allowed a shot
from 25 yards out bounce
into the net. The goal
appeared to take the
heart out of the Clinton
team and gave the
London team the spark
they needed.
Clinton fell behind 3-2
when a Yugoslav forward
went in alone on the
Clinton keeper and
placed a shot low to the
left hand side.
The Yugoslays
wrapped the game up
when the left winger put
the ball past the Clinton
netminder to an
unguarded forward when
scored into the open net.
Alex Harrett with
consistent hustle and
determination played
another strong game for
the Flyers. Brian Ken-
nedy and Tony Gibbings
also were impressive for
Clinton.
Next game for the
soccer team is on Sunday,
June 10 when they travel
to London to play
Calabria at 4 p.m.
Most people don't realize it, but they only see a
fraction of the wildlife that surrounds them, even
when they are looking for it. This is unfortunate,
of course, because we miss so much of nature's
world, but is completely understandable when
you examine the way our senses have become
"watered down" by modern day society. You
can, however, with only a little training and self
discipline; recapture a good deal of our
forefather's powers of observation.
I have always considered myself "comfortable
in the bush", and didn't feel 1 missed too much of
what was going on out there. After a week of
hunting, I've always felt that my senses were
honed to a fine edge, but last fall,. I had my eyes
opened for me, and my ego deflated by a friend
of mine who, as an employee of the Ministry of
Natural Resources, spends most of his day in the
bush year round. Bob McLeod pointed out four
deer, a marten, a fox and a whole raft of hear
sign that I would have missed on my own. I saw a
good deal of other game on my own, but I never
got the chance to point anything out to him.
Practice and knowing what to look for are the
two factors that allow one person to see more
than the other. There is a very simple way to put
this theory to the test. Take a walk around the
block and make a note of the number of birds and
animals you see. When you get back home, sit
down in your back yard for the same length of
,time it took for the walk, and count the number of
birds and animals you. see just sitting there.
You'll probably see more in your own back yard
than in the whole block. The reason why is
fairly simple. While walking, your attention' is
divided, and while you are seeing things, you are
not learning what to look for. While- you are
sitting, your attention is channeled in one
direction and you start to see and interpret
things that mean wildlife. You are learning how
to look, and what to look for.
Mos H peop"I' =`when` walking "Ittt"the. woods, are
quick to pick up movement. Something will flick
in the edge of their vision; they'll glance in that
direction, assume it was a small bird and con-
tinue on their way. If they learned to pause, and
look a little harder, they might be surprised at
what they actually can see. As often as not, it will
be a small bird, but there are those rare
moments when that movement turns out to be
the flick of a doe's ear and that invisible animal
suddenly stands out like a sore thumb because of
that little flicker. It could also he a ruffed grouse,
frozen into immobility against a tree trunk again
after a quick bob of its head. Look a little closer,
and you'll be surprised at how much more you'll
see.
There are a'few things that you should try to do
consciously at the start, and before long they
become as automatic as breathing. Probably the
most important thing to try and do is to look
through the trees, not at them. The old adage
about "not being able to see the forest for the
trees" is truer than you might believe. Looking
through the trees might sound impossible, but if
you start trying to do it, you'll be surprised at
how little they do interfere with your vision.
Looking for the unusual will also let you see
more game. Horizontal lines in a vertical forest
often turn out to be a fallen tree, or a flat rock,
but they can also materialize into the hack of
a deer or moose. That perfectly round dot in a
tangle of brush will often prove to he the eye of a
rabbit or woodcock.
Practice scanning an area from the right to the
left if you want to see more. You probably notice
that as you read from left to right, your eyes skip
over familiar words without really seeing them.
If you try scanning your hack yard, from left to
right, the same thing happens, but reverse the
direction and you automatically slow down and
pick up more detail.
If you start practicing these few techniques,
you'll soon find that you are observing, not just
looking. Start observing, and you might find th
little movement you formerly dismissed .ow
rewards you with a first hand view of one of
nature's many miracles.
