HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1983-06-08, Page 191 by steve cooke The Ministry of Natural Resources has again maned a warning about forest fires for this upcoming season. So far, the cold wet spring has considerably reduced the danger, but a hot dry spell could certainly turn that around, and "careless people will again cause a number of forest fires". Some of the tips offered to help prevent forest fires are: - Don't smoke in the bush. - Crush cigarettes out on bare rock or mineral soil. - Use vehicle ash trays. - Use a lighter, or make sure your match is out before throwing it away. - Make sure your camp fire is safe — which means locating it near water, with a cleared space around it down to the mineral soil, or on bare rock. - Keep camp fires small, and make doubly sure they are dead out before leaving them. Warnings are posted in conspicuous places on in- dicator boards throughout the north. It's a good idea to keep an eye on these boards as you're driving so you know what the risks are. The dial indicator goes from low to extreme and low means fire spread is limited, slow, and easy to extinguish. It is usually confined to dead grass, small twigs or dead leaves that need large heat sources like camp fires to dry them out before they ignite. Moderate means that fine fuels — grass, small twigs or dead leaves — can be ignited by a burning match or any other open flame. This kind of fire should be easy to control. High means most fuels will ignite easily from glow- ing embers or burning cigarette butts. These fires spread quickly and can jump to tree tops. They are dif- ficult to control, and some fire restrictions may be put into effect. Extreme spells DANGER! All forest fuels ignite easily. Fire spreads quickly, is difficut to control, and fire and/or travel restrictions are in effect. Mr. Woods said that while no one can control these conditions — they are determined by the weather — everyone should be extremely careful with fire at all times. +++ Every once in a while, manufacturers have a pro- blem with their production line, and Remington is no exception. This producer of excellent ammunition has announced the recall of defective 12 gauge rifled slug shotshells, which were manufactured in the summer of 1982. A small quantity of these shotshells were found to have been loaded with insufficient powder with the result that the slugs could lodge in barrels. Tests by Remington have shown that use of this ammunition can result in gun damage, and could present a hazard to the shooter. The 12 gauge rifled slug Remington shotshells covered by the recall have the following markings on the packages: Product: 12 gauge rifled slugs Index Number: Remington SP12RS-SPK Slugger 12 gauge 23/4" 1 oz. HPRS 5 Hollow Point Rifled Slugs (on end flap) Lot Number: ATO1 H218 on inside of end flap) The company said it is informing wholesalers and dealers to withhold from sale all Remington 12 gauge rifled slug shotshells in their inventories which bear this lot number. Remington representatives will make arrangements for the return of theses shotshells. Consumers who have purchased Remington 12 gauge rifled slug shotshells in boxes so marked should return them to Remington for prompt, free replacement. They should be sent collect via United Parcel Service to: Remington Arms Company, Inc. Attention: R. H. Potter 939 Barnum Avenue P.O. Box 1939 Bridgeport, CT 06601 Don't take any chances. If you have some Remington slugs left over from last year's deer season, check them out now while it's still fresh in your mind. +++ Here's a report on one of the big fishing tournaments that are starting to catch on in Canada. While I'm per- sonally not in favor of big money "catch as many as you can" contests, the one at Bobcaygeon seems to be pretty well run. The release also includes a couple of tips for walleye fishermen. Bobcaygeon, Ontario - There was plenty of excite- ment here last weekend at the sixth annual Bob- caygeon Canada - U.S. Walleye tournament while Canadian teams attempted to maintain their lead over U.S. fishing teams. This first of six in the 1983 Labatt's Ontario Fishing Championships series was won by an American team from North Tonawanda, New York. Doug Hurtubise and John Pashong stayed in first place over the two-day event and totalled 35.5 pounds of walleye. They won a Lund boat, Cal trailer, 25 h.p. Mercury outboard motor and $2,000 in cash. The Pigeon Lake event in the Kawarthas is the original of its kind with emphasis on conservation, live - release and safety. Live wells were mandatory, in- creasing live -release to 99 per cent. Next year's tourna- ment will see aerators added to the mandatory list with the Chamber of Commerce organizers striving for total live release. Second place went to a Toronto area team, Ron , Sooley of Bramalea and Hector Peach of Downsview with a total of 11 fish weighing 29.6 pounds. Sooley and Peach go home with $1,000, two Lowrance depth sounders, Zebco rods and reels, as well as other prizes. Third place went to another American team, Gary Geartz from Sanborn, N.Y. and Tim Belling from North Tonawanda, with 25.11 pounds of walleye. Their prize is $750 cash, Zebco rods and reels and tackle. One walleye was tagged and released by a biologist and the lucky fisherman catching this fish will win $1,000 from Labatt's. Mercury Thruster motors were awarded to the fishermen catching the big fish of the day, which was 6.9 pounds Saturday and 6.3 pounds on Sunday. Although weather conditions remained relatively favorable, tournament regulars noticed colder water temperatures and higher water levels. Success was found using spinner baits and jigs in weed beds at eight to 12 feet of water. On egreens....... y Carolanne Doig ming a teaching pr Last week we looked at becoming a "touring", or playing, professional golfer. For some it is the ideal life, but for many avid golfers, who want a job in the golf in- dustry, the touring pro's life isnot their cup of tea. In that case, why not become a club or teaching pro? Gorge are the previous vi- sions of fame and fortune, along with the adoring fans. However, many golfers, male and female, have found life as a club pro to be a wonderful way to make a liv- ing and enjoy golf too. Without the club pro there really is no golf. For one thing, who do you think teaches the pros, or the top amateurs? Who guides them through the dark days of not hitting the ball "flush"? A teaching pro of course! Even the best of the best need help sometimes. That's when the teacher is invaluable. His technical knowledge of the swing and t can soon turn those ►,.,goys into pars and birdies. Whether you're an aspiring tour player or a weekend duffer looking for tier scores, you'll find a teaching pro to he a valuable friend, From the quick tip to the intensive lesson, he's there to help you enjoy the s,.; ,;rt more. As usual, there's a catch to the job. Most golf pros do not spend all their time teaching, and likewise they n't spend all their time golfing either. Being a dub professional is such a time intensive job that playing a game is often a luxury! The golf industry has matured into a big business, and the result is that the club pro must wear many hats. Many club pros have spent much of their youth in the golfing world, either playing or caddying as youngsters at the local course. They con- tinue to show an interest in a golf through their senior school years. Who really knows when, or how a rson chooses golf as his ultimate career? The Canadian Profes- sional Golf Association has extensive guidelines for the cultivating of the certified C.P.G.A. pro. They prefer applicants with at least a grade 12 education, in good physical condition and with an outgoing personality. This must be mixed with equal amounts of dedication aapd hard work. To become a class A-1 head professional can take from 10 to 15 years, five of which are spent as an apprentice. A number of areas are dealt with in great detail, during the education of the apprentice. Along with supervised on-the-job train- ing, the future pro must take home study courses as well as attend schools, clinics, seminars, and workshops. At the end of it all, there are ex - Cycling in Ontario tells it all Are you looking for something to do on those warm sunny weekends? Something that is inexpen- sive, fun and healthy? "Cycl- ing in Ontario - 1983" has the answer. This 90 page booklet contains over 80 one day, weekend and longer organiz- ed bicycle tours, 45 bicycle races, a comprehensive list of bicycle clubs, bike shops and free places to stay. New to the booklet this year is a racing schedule for the Ontario Cycling Associa- tion Bicycle Moto -cross (BMX) Division. BMX is a new form of bicycle racing where kids young or old, male or female race bicycles over indoor or outdoor tracks that are full of jumps, bumps and berms. "Cycling in Ontario - 1983" covers the entire province for the bicy- cle season between April and November. The booklet, published an- nually by the Ontario Cycl- ing Association, is an ex- cellent source for both recreational and com- petitive interests. "Demand for Cycling in Ontario starts in January", says Mike Phillips O.C.A. Executive Director. "People want to plan their activities and vacations early and they want all the information in one compact package. This book has become the Bible of bicycling til the province." "Cycling in Ontario - 1983" is available at bicycle shops across Ontario. Mike Barry of Bicyclesport in Toronto calls the booklet "a hot cake". "We sell them to any level of cyclist interested in doing a bit of organized cycl- ing. The reaction to the book is very positive". "Cycling in Ontario" is also available from the On- tario Cycling Association. The cost is $2.50 per copy. It is free to O.C.A. members. Lots of tourneys for golfers By Carolanne is' oig Wasn't that fashion show something? Everyone has been raving about it for a week. Before the show, I was convinced they should make it a centennial event instead of annual. Now that it's over, however, I'm looking for- ward to the 1984 version. It was lots of fun trying to convince our male models that "yes pink is fine for men", and "no you don't look silly with some makeup on", and "no, Mike, you can't hit a real ball into the audien- ce." If you think you were entertained in front of the stage you should have been behind the scenes. Ninety second changes are old hat for us now!!! It was a great experience for all of us in- volved, and a real tribute to our town and all the people who helped to make it so successful.

If you can talk while doing this, without sounding out of breath, your stamina level is probably OK, Second, run on the spot. Make sure you lift your feet six inches off the floor. If you can keep running for two minutes without reaching the out -of -breath stage, once again - your stamina is likely pretty good. But if you find you're out of breath before two minutes are up, stop im- mediately. If you have good stamina - congratulations. You'll know it gives you energy to do the things you want to do. And your stamina is probably developed and enhanced through a fitness routine. But if you feel you should have more stamina, why not get active? Start gently. Build up gradually. You'll feel better and find you can handle tension better too. — from Health and Welfare Canada.

Upgrading of playing and teaching *ilia continues as the apprentice also develo; a knowledge of equipment, rules, and tournament operations. The education is continued farther afield to encompass merchandising, small badness o.;' rations, mem r relationships and public relations. There is so much involved these days in running a suc- cessful golf club, that it's necessary to spend con- siderable time on the various skills needed. After passing an entrance exam, the future pro enters into the assistant training program. Each year he must complete a lab report covering such sub- jects as power cart fleet operations and maintenance, bag room operations, club operations, course maintenance, teaching methods and theory, merchandising, financial statements and in- ventory control.

A holographic will, valid in Ontario since 1978, is hand- written in your own words and signed but not witness- ed. fitness questions Q. What can I do to improve my cardio -respiratory fitness? A. Choose an activity which fulfils three criteria: it can be done regularly; it entails continuous movement; and most of all, it's enjoyable. If done vigorously, the follow- ing activities are aerobic in nature: cycling, swimming, canoeing, rowing, ,cross- country skiing, tennis, walk- ing, squash, jogging, soccer, etc. Sports where the move- ment is not continuously vigorous will not provide as good a vehicle for improving cardio -respiratory fitness. These include downhill ski- ing, water-skiing, volleyball, badminton. Far- ther down the line are relatively passive activities such as bowling, curling, fishing and golf which will have very little effect on aerobic fitness. Q. What does "aerobic" ex- ercise mean? A. Those types of exercises and activities which improve cardio -vascular fitness. That is, efficiency of oxygen up- take and utilization. These include total body activities that are sustained and con- tinuous - in order to challenge the cardio- vascular and respiratory systems. Q. Can I exercise too hard? A. You are the best judge of your own limitations. However, in a group or class situation it's easy to become competitive. At the begin- ners' level, a good workout will leave you with some mild stiffness and soreness in those muscles unac- customed to activity. Only if the soreness causes real discomfort should you con- sider it a result of overexer- tion. Q. Does smoking have much effect on a person's cardio- respiratory fitness? A. In most cases, the capaci- ty for improving cardio- respiratory fitness is significantly greater for non- smokers than for smokers. Even though smokers can improve their fitness greatly with training, non-smokers are able to improve it by 5 to 10 per cent more. Naturally, fin highly skilled athletes engagea in endurance sports, these differences become much more signifi- cant. — adapted from Fitness: Questions and Answers, free booklet available from Fitness Canada, Fitness and Amateur Sport, 365 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa K1A OXO. — trom Health and Welfare Canada.
