Is it Harold Ballard? No, well how about Howie Meeker? Naw, but you're trying. Is it hockey broadcaster Danny Gallavan? Nope. If you guessed George Steinbrenner then you'd win the fur - lined bed pan. This controversial master of outspokeness is at the helm of the New York Yankees. You know the man, he's the owner of the Yankees. His position as owner of the team •can sometimes be confused with television broadcaster or even at times field manager. He takes up more air time than the Liberal Leadership campaign! The man is never without a comment regardless of the topic. Whether his team is sagging or winning, good, old George can be counted on to say something meaningless. These days, Steinbrenner has plenty of reasons for saying meaningless things. His team is struggling. This season has been one large mistake from day one in the Yankee camp. The stiped superstars from the Big Apple find themselves playing .420 baseball and sharing the occupation of the American League Eastern Division basemeht with the Cleveland Indians. The other night after returning from a marathon council meeting, I turned on ABC's Nightline to find none other than Steinbrenner flappin' his gums about the fate of his Yankees. "Remember a couple of years ago," he said to interviewer Ted. "My Yankees were 15 games down in July and we came back to win it." How many more of those miracles do you have up your sleeve George? . When things are going bad for the New York Yankees on the field, you can guarantee life isno picnic in the team's front office. The proverbial panic button is pushed, launching everyone from bat boys to unborn minor league prospects to fear for, - their lives.' How would you like to be in the position of New York Manager Yogi Berra. As soon as his team goes into a tail spin, the owner becomes part of your wardrobe. " Yogi I think you're a Boo Boo as a manager" races through the mincl of Steinbrenner. Quickly he thinks to himself, Should 1 or shouldn't I rehire Billy Martin for the four time. He never ceases to amaze According to an Associated Press story yesterday, Steinbrenner is growing tired of his slumping Yankers and their losing habits. The long arm of discipline has come out and he has removed the player's lounge in the rear of the clubhouse and changed it into a coaches' locker room. The story reported that Steinbrenner had learned players were using the lounge to hide from media hounds. After being blown out in a game played' at home in mid-May, several members of the Yankees watched a basketball game on television in the lounge. "They should be out in front of their lockers facing the music in front of the writers," Steinbrenner said. "From now on that lounge will not be off limits to the press." Steinbrenner ordered the wide-screen television and three couches in the room removed. Steinbrenner is bound to snap out of his foul mood as soon as the Yankees can straighten out their act. A three -game winning streak will probably bring whirlpool baths into the "coaches locker room." Steinbrenner's statement .on . Nightline exemplifies the public's attitude toward him. "Everybody hates a winner," he sneered. Does that mean when the Yankees lose, everybody will love him? Somehow I don't think that reverse psychology applies in this case. Dupee had a perfect night . By Lois Gibbings Wayne Dupee, of Clinton had a perfect night at Hanover Raceway on Saturday, June 2, when he not only won with both his pacers, but also gave each a new record. Miss Krista Hal, a nine-year-old mare by Keith Abbe -Bessie Hal by Richard Hal D. won her first of the year from four starts in 2.08 in.the ninth. Wayne- returned in the tenth to give Shadows End Run a new 2.05 record.

' ' 91W y ay res ocks local river By Rod Hilts HAYFIELD - The efforts of the local anglers club here has Meant the addition of over 67,000 fish into • tributaries of the Bayfi In 1982eldRiver., the Bayfield Anglers Association was formed and in two short years it has become a cornerstone in the ongoing effort to increase the local Rainbow Trout population. The association prides itself on restocking creeks and stream rehabilitation. "We were always complaining there were no fish so we decided why not raise our own," Association President Gerry Uniac said. In the fall of 1982, Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Biologist Mike Malhoit from Wingham was contacted by a group of five individuals, who voiced their concerns on the status of Rainbow Trout runs in the Bayfield River. Mr. Malhiot identified the problems with Rainbow Trout reproduction and identified the different varieties of the fish. He noted that a limiting amount of natural habitat in the area hampered the reproduction of the fish. The Bayfield group expressed interest in helping the ministry with a stream restocking and rehabilitation program and the possibility of forming a local anglers club was discussed. • Following further conciliation with the ministry, Mr. Uniac, Walter Turner, Joe Koene, Stewart Watson and Tom Dack were granted permission to form a club and thus the Bayfield Anglers Association was born. "They really .showed a tremendous interest and were very cooperative," Mr. Malhiot said of the group's formation. The association's membership grew 'in leaps and bounds; increasing from nine members to 50 in one year. The association presently has 72 members. Volunteer work, membership fees, and ministry reimbursements keep the association afloat financially. The association is under the direction of an active executive, which is elected annually. They are: President Gerry Ulnae; Vice -President Walter Turner; Secretary Paul McKee and Treasurer Reg Wilson. They meet twice a year, in November and in March. The March meeting is held for the election of officers and November is a wrap- up meeting. First project The.first project the group 'undertook was the building of a stream-sideupwelling incubation box during the winter of 1983. The box, which cost $700: to build, . would provide an ideal environment for fish eggs to hatch. The project building site was Stew Watson's garage in Bayfield. A crew includingthe executive and members Roy and Doug Telford, Bob Cluff and Arnold, Makins worked countless . hours on the project. Under the Community Fisheries Involvement Program (CFIP), the ministry supplied material and equipment under the stipulation that all labor was volunteer and the project follow ministry .fishing guidelines. Before the box could be put to use, the group had to acquire fish eggsand a site to test it. The group received help from the ministry and got 41,000 eggs from Port Albert. The first test took place on Elliott's Creek, near Mr. Uniac's home at RR 2 Bayfield.: The first testing was a limited success. A combination of factors led to only 1,200 of the 41,000 eggs hatching. Mr. Uniac said that his group didn't know ' how to properly treat the eggs (chemicals etc.). A poor water supply . also accounted for the low hatching numbers. A warm spell on June 15 of last year killed a large number of the eggs. The box incubator sytem relies heavily on a constant cool, clean water flow. The Bayfield 'Anglers Association now uses two methods in hatching the eggs. The box was constructed in two sections, The first section was built to accommodate four layers of rocks divided by four layers of Rainbow Trout eggs. The second was based on a screening technique in which 17,000 eggs would be hatched on screen lids. Both systems operate with a water flow of four to five gallons per minute through the boxes. Randy also took third with G G Columbo in• a 2.04.2 mile for Paul Dougherty, Leroy Meriam and Bob Daer of Goderich.

There they received the proper chemicals for treating Rainbow Trout eggs. The second phase of the association's project tookplace this spring and was completed this week. The group .purchased an small building to house the upwelling incubator box. A new project site was chosen on a spring creek in Stanley Township, on private land owned by a member. A contractor was hired to build a small pond and a dam, supplying the incubator box with a clean supply of water. A filter box was built on top of the dam and a long, buried pipe was connected from it to the shed. Filters are changed daily at 6:30 p.m. to insure water pureness. The incubator box is supplied with fresh 10 degree celsius spring -water at a rate of between four to five gallons per minute. The temperature is recorded daily by a club 'member. At this temperature, it takes approximately 40 days to hatch eggs into fry (small recently hatched fish ). Trees supplied by the County of Huron and the MNR were planted by the club to add a natural environment for the eggs to incubate in. The trees were planted along spring fed creeks in Goderich and. Stanley Townships. Over 550 cedars and white pine trees were planted* this year, while 4,000 dogwood and Russian olive trees were planted in 1983. "The trees give cover from birds, improve habitat and provide shade to keep the water cool," Mr. Uniac noted. " On April 14, the MNR and the Bayfield Anglers collected 80,000 Rainbow Trout eggs from the fishladder at Port Albert. With help from Mr. Malhiot and Assistant Biologist Ken Mironets, the eggs were fertilized and hardened before they were brought down to the incubator box. Once in place, the eggs were treated with a Malachite green solution that stops fungus build up. The club reported last week that some 66,000 fish had 'been hatched. Another 14,000 are expected • to be hatched this week. Success at last! According to Mr. Uniac, the screening process has proven to be the most effective of the • two systems. He said the screen method is 90 per cent effective, while the rock incubatiop method is only 70 per cent efficient. ' "The screenijg proved to be much more successful tha the rocks.' It's also a lot easier," Mr. Uniac said. Next year, the project will entail the use of more screening trays, possibly a 2:1 ratio. Fry stay for two years The fry stay•in the creek for a maximum of two 'years 4:fter turning into fingerlings. The fish then go out into Lake Huron, where- there is a greater abundance of food. After the fish grow to the length of 6 to 7 inches they come back to the area to spawn. Most of them return to spawn for three consecutive years. Mr. Malhiot said that when the fish return the following fall some are 18 inches in size. The efforts of this anglers club are being noticed. Members from London, Dundas, St. Marys, Exeter, Lambeth, Woodstock, and a 12 -mile radius of Bayfield have made an impact on the Rainbow Trodt population in the area: Although Mr. Uniac doesn't expect the club to grow much in number, he says they still welcome new members, "who are willing to work." He said the club is involved with other projects such as cleaning up litter'along the lakeshore. A revolving three-man crew goes out every Monday evening to pick up debris off the Bayfield pier and the area east of the main bridge. Last year they collected - between 22 and 25 bags of debris from May to October. They have permanent garbage bins in the area of the pier and the bridge. The future of the Bayfield' Anglers Association looks good. The amount and quality of nature being destroyed by man is slowly being replaced by ambitious groups like this one. , "We're liable to take on anything," said Mr. Uniac of the future of the Bayfield club. • • AT WALTON & VARNA FEED MILL During the month of JUNE, we will be featuring many SHUR-GAIN DAIRY ANIMAL Health Products at Walton & Varna Feed Mills.
