Clinton News-Record, 1983-05-04, Page 17Deer seasons in many a. eas of Ontario wall be longer than year due to an in- crease in the deer popula- tion, Natural Resources Minister Alan Pope said recently. "The increase is due to my muustry's deer manage- ment initiatives as well as favorable weather condi- tions," Mr Pope said. "Deer sightings have increased significantly in the last two years and small deer yards that have not been used fur many years are once again occupied." In wildlife management units I W MU 1 46, 48, 49, 50, 53A, 54, 55, 56, 57 and 60 in the Parry Sound, Muskoka and Haliburton areas, the 1983 season will be two weeks long instead of one week.

Over the next five years, Ducks Unluruted will spent $15 -million to maintain, restore and create waterfowl habitat, and the Ministry. of Natural Resources will con- tribute $1 -mullion as part uf its ongoing waterfowl rnanagernent program. In announcing the co- operative waterfowl management program, Natural Resources Minister Alan Pope said the long-term agreement will be reviewed annually by both his ministry and Ducks Unlimited Canada, a private agency with its main office in Winnipeg. Mr. Pope said that a total of 16,000 hectares of water- fowl habitat, divided equally between northern and southern Ontario, are ex- pected to be developed over the next five years. "Since hunting and view- ing of waterfowl are among Ontario's most popular forms of recreation, I am confident that our efforts will get whole -hearted public support. The program will also boost local economies," Mr. Pope said. John Bain, manager of On- tario operations for Ducks Unlimited Canada, said he is looking forward to working with the ministry on a broader scale than in the past. "We have co-operated in a number of projects, but I feel this full-scale management agreement will ultimately lead to more ideal habitat conditions for waterfowl, one of our tnost important resources," Mr. Bain said. Ducks Unlimited Canada began operations in Ontario in 1974. Since then it has developed 119 Wetland.Con- servation Projects totalling 8,a6U hectares. o a National Physical Activity Week lay 15-23,1983 Moto Cross racing opened Sunday at Bully Gully.

It's something that many uf you look fur - ward to all week long. Before Sunday arrives ar- rangements are made with friends to play on a favourite course. City golfers arrange for a tee -off time well in ad- vance, otherwise it's up at the crack of dawn and take potluck. Some may feel that they are the only people crazy enough to rise to the clang of an alarm on Sunday morning two hours earlier than they have to go to work' Not real- ly, there are plenty of other crazy people right in your own neighbourhood. Golf has a way of getting under your skin and before you know it you are looking forward to that early Sunday morning game. Believe it or not it's the same all over the world. In hundreds of coun- tries, from the Australian out -back to downtown Tokyo, people just as crazy as you, are driving to the course, in the dark, so they can get in their 18 holes. From its origins in Scotland, golf has infiltrated almost .,, every country in the world. As Scottish emigrants settl- ed hither and yon they took along their clubs, cleared areas for play, and establish- ed golf courses. Golf came to Canada of- ficially in 1873 with the foun- ding of the Royal Montreal Golf Club, the oldest club in North America. However, it is suspected that the Hudson Bay fur traders, many of there Scots, had already been playing golf for years. By 1880 there were clubs at Quebec City, Toronto and Brantford. Golf's popularity continued to grow and spread across the land. The Royal Canadian Golf Association was founded in 1896 to promote interest in golf, establish and enforce unity in the rules, and con- trol the national and provin- cial tournaments. The first Canadian Amateur was held in 1895 and the first Cana- dian Open in 1904. Now the additional organizations of the Canadian Ladies' Golf Union and the Canadian Pro- fessional Golf Association are also concerned with golf in Canada. In spite of the fact that Canadians cannot play dur- ing the long cold winters, the game of golf is a popular, and thriving summer pastime. Canadian golfers will brave the wet spring, scorching summer, and crisp fall to get in as many rounds as possible before the snow flies. They have been known to tolerate mos- quitoes as big as helicopters, black flies, bears, and foxes that run away with the golf balls, all in the name of golf. They will fly or drive south in the winter or set up nets and putting pals in the house in order to extend their golf- ing season. Whenever possi- ble they will plunk in front of the TV to watch the pros, or devour golf magazines and Turn to page 19 • Ball Hockey League Exhibition May 5 Regular Season May 12 May 19 May 26 .June 9 June 111 .lune 23 June 30 .July 7 July 14 July 21 Playoffs To Follow: 7:00 p.m 8.00 p. m 1 vs2 3vs4 9.00 p.m. 5vs6 2vs5 lvs3 6vs4 4vs1 2vs6 5vs3 6vs5 3vs4 1vs2 2vs3 4vs5 6vs1 1 vs 5 3 vs 6 4 vs 2 6vs4 2t4.5 lvs3 2vs6 4vs'3 5vs3 lvs2 3vs4 6vs5 5vs4 lvs6 2vs3 3vs6 lvs5 2vs4 ully Gaily h season opener The first round of the 1 Motocross Season was held on Sunday, May 1 at Hully Gully, Varna.
