HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1985-10-09, Page 18• Pagel #1 1 1 .KA1 P, W e1X I p 1', OCTOP Rg,.196 Aft • Naturally Speaking By Steve Cooke I've just received news release from the Ministry of Natural Resources warning hunters not to eat the liver and kidneys from moose. The release, reproduced elsewhere in" the paper, deals with moose in the Algonquin area, but I would caution anyone from eating these organs from any moose in. the Province. So what else is new? A few months ago, I dealt with the same warning in this column. I was alerted to the fact through some research being done in Sweden, which related high cadmium levels in moose to acid rain. When I tried to find out more information about Ontario moose, no one seemed to know anything at all, or else they just weren't saying anything. Now, however, the cat's out of the bag. As I said before, not only does it affect people eating those meats, but how will it affect the moose themselves. And, what about ducks as well as other aquatic feeders? Read it and make your own decisions. + + L.L. Bean, probably the biggest mail order outdoor store in the U.S, has just come out with a fall Hunting Catalogue that is just packed full of goodies for hunters and outdoor people in general. I can't think of a better place to do your Christmas shopping, especially if you have a hunter in the family. The range of products is extensive, and there are practical items which will fit any budget. Ordering is painless as well. By using their 24 Hour Telephone Service, you can use a charge card (MasterCard, Visa or American Express) and not have to worry about exchange. The orders, will be sent out parcel post, and will clear customs at Goderiph A11 you will have to d,o is nay the duty to claim your treasure. Duty rates vary for different items, so if you figure 35 percent for exchange and 25 percent for duty, you won't be far off the mark, Even with all that, prices are very comparable to the same type of stores found in Canada. There's some great items in this catalogue which I'venever seen before. One in particular is their "North Wind Decoys". These decoys are incredibly lifelike! The body is made of DuPont Tyvek and inflates in a four mile per hour breeze. Adjustable heads swivel on stakes and the decoys appear to be walking and feeding as they waggle in the wind. The' best feature is that they only weigh six ounces each. I'm ordering some to give them a try, but I'm positive they'll work. If there is the slightest wind, they should be dynamite in a stubble field, or set up on the shore of a pond. They're available (depending on what's in stock) in either Canada Goose or magnum Mallard configurations. Also included in the catalogue is a complete range of clothing that ranges from rough and ready field wear to comfortable leisure time items. Apart from clothes, there are items for dog owners, gun care products, skeet and trap shooting gear, camping and canoeing equipment and 'much, much more. If you are interested, drop a line to L.L. Bean, Inc.; Freeport; Maine; 04033-0001 and ask for their Fall 1985 Hunting Specialties Catalogue. It's interesting to browse through, and you'll be in lots of time to get things organized for Christmas. Make someone extra happy, and give them a gift they can enjoy and use in the outdoors. VOLLEYBALL NEWS Redmen win one of four WINGHAM - In the past while the Senior Redmen have been playing a lot of volleyball. On September 26, Clinton played in Wingham. Out of four games, Clinton only won one. The Redmen found stiff competition, in Northwestern and Wingham that day. On October 3, CHSS held its tournament and the senior boys gained four out of a possible six points. St. Mary's overpowered Clinton in two close games. This did not break down the Redmen though.

Football helmetF, are a definite must By Hugh Westrup Football players wearing the "suspen- sion" style of protective helmet risk injuries to the head, says a scientist from the University of Waterloo.

Another type of helmet, the padded helmet, separates . the; head from the plastic shell with a layer of foam padding. Some helmets combine suspension and padding. Sporting goods manufacturers ceased making suspension helmets in the mid- 1970s, but many are still in"use, especially in high school football teams. Dr. Bishop tested helmets that had been in use for an average of eight years. His study shows that suspension helmets do not stand up to repeated use as well as the other two styles of football helmet. Dr. Bishop tested all three types of helmet. The padded and padded -suspension helmets met NOCSAE safety standards 98 per cent , of . the time. Suspension helmets net NOCSAE standards only 81 per cent of the time. A failure to conform to NOCSAE guidelines indicates that the helmet will not prevent the wearer from suffering a concus- sion (or worse) in the event of a blow to the celeration of the headpiece when the helmet "The problem with suspension helmets is that the cloth webbing begins to stretch, which reduces the protective distance between the head and the plastic shell," says Dr. Bishop. (Padded helmets may also become unsafe when the padding breaks down or becomes reduced in thickness from excessive use.) Dr. Bishop suggests that coaches of teams that cannot replace their suspension helmets use only the newest helmets, or the least -used ones. "Or they can • install pad- ding and turn it into a padded -suspension helmet," he adds. • He advises against repairing helmets with glue or paste, which can corrode and weaken the helmet's plastic shell. Dr. Bishop conducted his tests on a drop rack. In this apparatus, the helmet is placed on;,a headpiece,• which is dropped fro'M''a•• height of 1.5 metres onto a metal anvil: In= struments attached to the headpiece measure its rate of acceleration as it falls.
