(David Emslie photo) • GODERICH TWP - Through winning the house and district tournaments of the On- tario Family Twosomes, the Colcloughs recently got the chance to bowl in the On- tario games in Toronto. • Ivan Colclough explained that, his son, Michael, had to pick a relative to be his part- ner, and this partner could not be substituted because .of injury or sickness. "You start together, you, finish together," he said. "It is the first year. Mike has bowled, it's all new to us," Anne Colclough said. She ad- ded that 8,400 bowlers started out in the original tournaments. Eighteen teams make it to the Toronto tournament. The father and son team started out their streak by winning in Clinton and followed it up with the district win in Goderich. "We won by 37 pins in Goderich," Mr. Colclough said. Mrs. Colclough added, . "They were lucky 'alT khe way' through. Although they did not win the Ontario games, placing fourth, they said the trip was well worth it. "They pay your expenses down, they pay for your room at the Holiday Inn, they pay for the banquet and they give you free tickets to a Blue Jays game." Mr. Colclough said. With their tickets to the Jays' game, they also had free admittance to the Cana- dian National Exhibition, which also proved to be a great experience. Locals bowl way to Toronto • Rattz are tops CLINTON - On August 28 the Clinton Men's Ball Hockey League championships were held at the Clinton Arena. The Buccaneers met their match in a pumped up Rattz team. The Rattz fell behind early in the first period by two goals, but managed to fight back with two quick goals. Robbie Wiggins made it 3-2 for the Rattz, and at the three minute mark Randy Mar- riage put it out of reach, scoring the Rattz' fourth goal. Thanks goes to all the fans. See you next year. "The weekend was worth it for kids who get that far. It`s like they said, `You're all champions, give yourselves a pat on the back,"' Mr. Colclough noted. He added, "Any kids who participated, once they have been there, it is worth the ef- fort. They (the organizers) really go all out." Mrs. Colclough agreed whole heartedly with her husband. "Once you have gone once, it is so great you want to go age," Though they, of course, were playing the games to win, Mr. Colclough stressed that luck has a lot to do with the game, and the important thing to do is have fun. "Luck is always involved irregardless. You've got to concentrate on what you are doing, but sometimes you're on, and sometimes you're off," he explained. "So- meone has to lose and someone has to win,• as,,lolug. as,,yau..have Jun,..that's:,the idea of, it." ,, ,i . The Colclough's definitely had fun, and+ got the chance to experience a few firsts on their trip, including visiting the CNE and bowling on underground lanes at the Thorn cliff Bowlerama. "It's a little noisier there," Mr. Colclough said of the underground lanes.

Here's their of- ficial report for Ontario. Waterfowl habitat is in good to ex- cellent condition across most of On- tario. Frequent rain and good growing weather has resulted in some of the best brood habitat the south has experienced in several years. The north has been drier by comparison, but water levels are nevertheless, reasonably good. Ear- ly nesting species experienced a much extended nesting period, spanning roughly six weeks, with hatching dates stretching from the first week of May • until mid-June for species such as mallards. Brood sizes are large, sug- gesting not only high brood. retrieval, but also reinforcing the hypothesis of delayed nesting, rather than renesting efforts. For the south, staff anticipate mallard production above 1985 levels and slightly above the long-term, wood ducks will likely be down due to poor nesting success, and blue -winged teal should be up slightly. Northern Ontario has had an early, compressed hatch of most species with limited renesting ef- fort necessary. In total, the fall flight originating from Ontario would be above 1985 levels, and unless something unusual transpires, should also be above the long term average. Most anglers take their fishing mighty seriously — especially when big fish are in the offing. But when the pros and novices alike gather in between fishing trips it's often a time for "Big Fish" stories and humorous tales of fishing times past — such as relating the tale about the long- and hard-fought walleyes that measured 12 -inches bet- ween its big eyes! ! Designed as a humorous gift for both fresh and saltwater anglers, the Headingly Design & Manufacturing Company in Manitoba, Canada has in- troduced the "Bullhook" lure. A huge 17 -inches long and tapered to a 5 -inch width at its middle, the well -named, all - metal Bullhook is well armed with two large big -game hooks whose sharp points are safeguarded by heavy vinyl tubing. Both colorfully and ap- propriately carded for display, the king-sized lure is made available in red/white stripe, yellow/black dots and green/black diamonds. Many boastful anglers call the Bullhook their "Trout Lure". Others have dubbed it the"Hawg Catcher" and "Mackerel Tamer" — even "Big Daddy". As a special introductory offer, the Bullhook inay be ordered from the ' manufacturer for $8.95 each, including shipping and handling fees. All Canadian orders must be address• ed to: Headingly Design & Manufactur- ing, Ltd., 3-1777 Portage Avenue, Win- nipeg, Manitoba, Canada, R3J 0E8, telephone number 204/8884122. Addi- urna 4 be provided ' p0; Iuest,- eJe�ed'tirectt.r must be specified in all orders. It would make a great stocking stuf- fer for your favorite fisherman at Christmas, but order now while the special offer is on.
