HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1981-08-19, Page 7REPAIR by / steve coke There have been a few changes in the small game hunting regulations for 1981, but none that affect us directly in this particular area. The only significant change for us is the number of the zone we hunt in. For deer hunting, Huron County is Zones 86, 87, and while for small game we are m zone 74. All small game seasons run from September 26th to December 15th this year, which is much the same as past years. The only exception is for ruffed grouse, whose season extends to January 15th. This may sound like a real bonus, but anyone who hunts late season grouse knows that those birds are not only hard to find, they are very difficult to get close enough to for a de- cent shot. The season for rabbits and hares, of course, runs through to February 28. Daily bag limits and possession limits are the same as last year, with the exception here being Bobwhite Quail. We don't -have a season here for these birds, put the southern counties have reduced the daily limit to three birds, with a possessionlimit of six. As for the rest, of the species, - Cottontails are six per day (no possession limit), European Hare six and Varying Hare six - no possession limits. Squirrel (Black, Grey, and Fox) are five (daily) and 10 (possession); Grouse (Ruffed and Spruce) five and 15 (in aggregate or mixed bag of both species) and Pheasant three of either sex. Waterfowl and migratory game birds are treated separately, and dates and limits, etc. have not, to my knowledge, been released yet. One last note regarding the deer season this year. If you wish to apply for an antlerless tag for one of the northern districts, today (Thursday, August 20th) is your last chance. The applications are attached to your deer licence and must be post -marked today to be valid. If you haven't done it already, you'd better get in gear and do it right now, or you'll be out of luck. + + + Siluetta is a target game which originated in Mexico, but is rapidly gaining in popularity throughout North America. It was originally designed for big game rifles to be shotat ranges varying from 100 yds. to 400 yds. Life sized targets are used and it must be shot off hand. The targets are cut out of heavy steel plate, mounted on a base, and must be knocked over to count. A life size chicken is the 100 yd. target, turkey's are the 200 yd. target, pigs the 300 yard target and sheep the 400 yd. target. There is a time limit involved for the 20 shots ( five targets at each range) which must be fired. Now, not everyone has a 400 yd. range available, so several companies in the U.S. are producing scaled down models for use with a .22 caliber rifle. The targets range in size from approximately 11/2" tall for the chicken to about 5" tall for the sheep. They are designed to be set out at 25, 30, 35 and 40 yards for plinking at with your favorite .22 rifle. A friend of mine brought up a set of these targets a couple of weeks ago, and since we had a . crowd of people around, we decided to give them a real tryout. After blastine off about 1000 .22 shells, we all had to agree that it was probably one of the most fun ways there is to learn how to shoot. Even the ladies enjoyed themselves and kept coming back for more. If you happen to come across a set, don't hesitate to pick them up. They're guaranteed to provide many a pleasant afternoon and keep your "shooting eye" in t trim at the same time. THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1981—PAGE 7 eather perfect for j unior tou By Carolanne Doig Al ough only four yo sters took home a tro by last Tuesday, everyone was a winner. It was the llth annual Seaforth Golf and Country Club's Junior Invitation Tourna- ment and a field of 38 in- cluding four girls took part. The weather was perfect and the storms skirted the area, often, threatening, but never more than that. By 2:30 we had a winner in three out of four flights. Greg Core worilz the junior flight with a two overpar 74, Todd Doig took the juvenile flight with a three over 75 and Anne Greening from Huron Oaks in Sarnia shot 90 to take the inaugural ladies flight. However, it was playoff time again for our Bantams. Raymond Anstett of Seaforth and Tom Teahen of St. Marys both shot 85 and were forced into extra holes to determine the trophy winner. A large gallery followed for three holes, cheering and en- couraging their favourites. On the third hole Ray Anstett won his division. Thanks to the kind dona- tions of many people every young golfer won a prize. Following a delicious meal the trophies and prizes were presented. We were very for- tunate in having as our glibst Mr. Gary Koch a P.G.A. touring pro. Gary who had the week off from the Hart- ford Open was visiting Seaforth for a few days and he was kind enough to come out and present the trophies and speak to our. junior golfers. Gary is originally from Louisianna but now lives in Florida with his wife Donna and their new baby girl. Gary won the Florida Open in 1969 and was the 1970 U.S. Junior Champion. He was a member of the '73 and '75 Walker Cup teams and the. 1974 winning World Amateur Cup team. That .year it was played in Santo Domingo and our own Ken Doig played for the Canadian team against Gary and his American teammates. It was quite a coincidence when Ian Doig began caddy- ing for Gary on the tour. The 29=year-old golfer who turned pro in 1975 told our Juniors he was happy to see so many young people in- volved in the game. He said he remembered when he played in every junior tour- nament he could and en- couraged our youngsters to keep at their golf., Gary 'will be playing in the Buick Open in Grand Blanc Michigan this week and I'm sure our youngsters will,be following his and Mike Morley's performance very closely. - Other winners in the Junior tournament were: 1st low gross over the field and winner of the Junior divi- sion, Greg Core, Seaforth; 1st low gross Juvenile divi- sion, Todd Doig, Seaforth; 1st low gross Bantam divi- sion, Ray Anstett Jr., Seafor- th; 1st low gross Girls' divi- sion, Anne Greening, Huron Oaks, Sarnia; 1st low net Jr., Phil Cornish, Sunset, Goderich; 1st low net Juv., Dave Campbell, Seaforth; 1st low net Bantam, Rob It's a wet, wonderful summer for these wading pool water babies. The Clinton swimming pool has been well used by children and adults all summer long. (Shelley McPhee photo) Soccer mom takes look at organization of the sport Well, here goes nothing. Sorry, but there are no scores to report, but this week let's look at the soccer organization as a whole, and talk about some of the detrimental comments that have been recently made about the soccer organization. Some opposition is com- mon to any group and regardless of how it is set up, someone always can find something wrong with it. Perhaps a classic example is of all the promises made by coaches, that they would phone and report the scores of their games. Obviously the phone is ringing off the wall. House leagues and a travelling team have been discussed and because of lack of coaches and something else more im- portant, it was dis>~nissed. My son plays on a team that basically has played together for five years. Some players come and go but generally there has been a nucleus of a team. However it is more than just a team, each one of the players is a friend, from the player who used to give the ball away each t1.n,e, to t;.e one that might seems t hog the ball. " The players have all watched each other grow in their ability to play soccer. Still, there are no experts, just friends playing a game of soccer together. Does such a feeling. develop in house leagues or in a super, hand picked, hopefully always winning soccer team? Alas the motto is - win or lose, it's how you play the game. (The opinions expressed in this article are not those of the Clinton minor soccer executive, but those of one soccer mom.)
