HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1983-02-23, Page 17by sieve cooke Conservation clubs and Sportsmen groups around the Province are becoming more active every year by assisting the Ministry of Natural Resources to enhance and protect the fish stocks in the Great Lakes and surrounding waters. Lake Huron is one of the prune objectives of these clubs, and the last couple of years has demonstrated that they can . very effective. The Bluewater Anglers Club tun Sarnia wanted a stocking program for Rainbow trout, but because of budget cutbacks, the MNR could not develop a program intensive enough to suit these members. The members themselves, therefore, got together and are now operating their own hatchery with the full cooperation of the Ministry. The Bluewater Anglers should be stocking Rainbows in large numbers on a regular basis in only a few short years. Another group in the Owen Sound District operated an egg incubation system in a local river with a great deal of success. This system, known as an upwelling box, is a relatively new innovation in the fisheries field, and allows fertilized eggs to develop, mature and hatch naturally in a stream. The box which holds the eggs, however, needs fairly constant attention to ensure proper waterflow and to prevent siltation, and that's where the volunteers come in. The MNR provided the expertise while the club provided the manpower. The upwelling box is an important advance in fish culture, especially when it is used in conjunction with volunteer labour. The box permits large numbers of eggs to he incubated with a minimum of expense and equipment, and the fry that do emerge are naturally imprinted to return to the stream where they were born. It is natural reproduction at its best since many of the dangers and losses of that high mortality egg stage are reduced without providing a totally artificial atmosphere. One of the other big projects that clubs are par- ticipating iii is stream improvement. By cleaning up stream sides, restricting livestock access, and planting shade and cover trees along the banks, flow conditions are improved and the mean water temperature is reduced. Where applicable, a few deflectors can scour out new spawning beds or clean up and improve old beds to increase the natural production capacity of any given stream. The beautiful part of a project like this is that it can be carried out by either a few individuals or a large group, with little or no actual funding required. That little fact puts it within easy reach of any person who is interested in improving fishing for their own enjoyment. I've always made it a point to tell people that hunters and fishermen are more than willing to put out cold cash and hard work to try and improve their recreational opportunities. These projects are just another opportunity to demonstrate that it is, in fact, true. If half the groups that moan and complain about this country's loss of wildlife got out and did their share, I'm sure we wouldn't have too much to worry about. Unfortunately, it never seems to work that way, and this may be another prime example. Fishermen are working hard in an attempt to ensure that their children and grandchildren will have the same op- portunities (or even better ones) to enjoy fishing as they have. If, however, this Native Rights agreement ever comes into effect, these projects will probably come to a grinding ha't. The Bluewater Anglers are raising and stocking fish so everyone can enjoy them. If native people start gill netting Rainbows in the Sarnia area for personal profit ( legal under Pope's agreement), you can bet that the hatchery will shut down. Upwelling boxes will be useless if the fish produced never mature enough to return to the stream or are speared on their spawning beds. Let's hope that this never happens, because if it does, wildlife will lose another ally and just add one more group of moaners, complainers and non -doers to their ranks. dult health n centres popular Ity. iMARY M. IMfAl (INiF;Y, HURON COUNTY !HEALTH UNIT The Adult Health Guidance ('entre clinics were first held in 1972 for the adult population and senior citizens Of Huron County and are held monthly at seven centres throughout the coun- ty. !Foot care, anaemia screening, hearing and vi- sion screening, blood pressure: urinalysis and counselling are offered.

Booklets and literature are available at the clinics covering such topics as food, good nutri- tion, weight control and ex- ercise, - heart, arthritis, medications, as well as in- formation on the services and programs available for senior citizens in Ontario. While the clinics do seem to be geared towards the older person, any adult may at- tend and the nurses will make a referral to the family doctor if there is a need. Persons who attend the clinics usually say that they have spent an enjoyable afternoon there. They often corse with someone but meet other friends while at the c'linic. As such, an in- teresting and stimulating visit may also occur as a result of visiting the clinic. Rides by private cars or taxis are shared so there is that feeling of com- panionship, concern and kindness - a necessary ingredient which contributes to happiness and comfort in !ife NEED To KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR NEW OMMUNITY2 I \(( tYft'171( 11 dill 482 7389 By Levis Gibbiings Armbro Arctic, owned by Stewart McCall of Seaforth, finished second in a 1.58.1 mile at Greenwood raceway in Toronto on February 15.

A committee was formed from two representatives of the five municipalities in- volved. Chairman of the new Booster Club is Kevin Kale, a McKillop township representative. Co-chairman of the fund raising committee, Ken Cardno explained the booster club "fills in the gaps left by other organizations. The club can promote any public oriented activity such as a dance, bingo, senior citizens' activities. Everyone thinks a booster club is a group of low paid servants who wait on tables and cook. This not the case." The chairman of the meeting, Ken Strong said the 10 representatives nominated to the committee would be the "nucleus." He felt a booster club "is a very important part of the success of the new complex. I have detected many people feel its a great idea and the general feeling is they will do their share of the work. The committee can rest assured there is a lot of public sup- port." The booster club com- mittee includes: McKillop Township, Bob Campbell; Kevin Kale chairman; Tuckersmith, Frank Nigh, Sybil Miller, secretary; Hibbert, Tom Schoon- derwoerd, plus one to be the V's round out the stan- dings at 60 and 59 points.

Joe Honking was the most improved bowler named; Seaforth, Harry Hak, Gary Gray; Hullett, Jim Thompson and Ed Salverda The Lucan and Brussels, Morris and Grey community centres each have booster clubs which have been successful. "A club wilt keep the public working together for accomplishments of the future," Mr. Strong stated. Quotable Our lest friends and our worst enemies are our thoughts. A thought can do us more good than a doctor or a banker or a faithful friend. It can also do us more harm than a brick. — Dr. Frank Crane Team standings are: Olds, 102; Chevs, i1:; Z28s, 80; Edsels, 71; Buicks, 55; Fords, 45.
