Clinton News-Record, 1979-06-07, Page 6PAGE 6 —CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, JUNE 7 , 1979 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. i "A superb collection of fine furniture at suprisin'gly affordable prices" Father's Day is coming!
