Ducks Unlimited
Good news from the Ministry of
Natural Resources for this area.
Ducks Unlimited and Wildlife Habitat
Canada have signed agreements that
will provide approximately $1,000,000 to
secure Ontario wetlands. The focus will
be on securing Class I and II wetlands
and will address concerns such as lan-
downer compensation and municipal
zoning. It should mean a secure future
for waterfowl and other species of
wildlife in our area.
The other important bit off news is
that the ministry will also be vac-
cinating foxes for rabies again this year
by air dropped baits.
This year, 15;300 baits will be dropped
in the area, each with a new improved
vaccine. Area residents are once again
cautioned to avoid interfering with the
baits if they are found. They are also
warned thdt pets may not be effectively
immunized by eating a bait (although
no harm would result) and should be
vaccinated by a vet as usual. Thevent
will probably be publicized once again
when the actual drop takes place.

Don't forget to pick up your duck
stamp early, so you're ready when the
waterfowl season opens. The stamps
should be available any day now.
New fishing line breaks
previous barriers
Berkley research has developed a
new fishing line called Berkley TriMax.
It results from a new processing techni-
que that interlocks the molecules of
three compatible polymer components
into three polymetric zones.
TriMax features maximum strength,
abrasion resistance, sensitivity and
superb castability. Although most
fishing lines change dramatically when
wet, losing as much as 20% of their
strength, TriMax has a high degree of
dry to wet stability.
The most impressive characteristic
about TriMax is what Berkley resear-
chers have dubbed Fighting Power.
Fighting power combines strength and
stretch performance to rate the ability
of a line to tenaciously withstand the
shocks and stresses generated in a fish -
fighting situation. This advance
TriPolymer construction provides ex-
ceptional fighting power that helps you
put more fish in the boat.
If that isn't enough, TriMax is
packaged in a factory -sealed ABS
plastic reel -fill dispenser pak. This uni-
que dispenser hangs on the rod and has
a variable drag to allow proper line ten-
sioning. When your TriMax is spooled,
use the container to store hooks,
swivels, sinkers and other fishing ac-
cessories.
Berkley TriMax is a lihe for
fishermen who want consistent, high
level performance from their fishing
line. TriMax is available in 4 to 20
pound tests, in ultra clear
( transparent) color in two size spools: a
reel fill dispenser pak (275 yards) and a
utility spool containing 2,000 yards.
We will probably see this new product
on store shelves in time for next spr-
ing's fishing season.
New moldable fish attractant
offers great potential
Scientific evidence has shown that
fish attractants can increase catches in
many fishing situations.
This is more true today, because one
is now available in a new moldable
form. It comes packaged in foil -sealed
sticks that can be molded into any
shape you want. It solves the problem
of having to squirt attractant on your
bait every couple casts.
Berkley Strike Moldable can be plac-
ed on a bare hook, on your fishing line
ahead of a plastic worm or crankbait,
on a downrigger ball, or used in any
fishing situation where a liquid may not
be the best choice.
The moldable attractant is visible so
you can tell when it's used up and you'll
know immediately if you need to apply
more. Just like Berkley Strike liquid,
Berkley Strike Moldable is an active
fish attractant and contains the same
active ingredients. It comes in seven
formulations and is long-lasting and
water soluble and is designed for
strategic despersion into the water.
This could be just the thing to try on
those slow days when nothing seems to
work. Again, it should be available in
Canada by early spring.
The Zebco people are introducing a
new innovation with two Quantum QMD
spinning reels featuring a "Baitsensor"
system that allows anglers to fish a
variable tension free spool with the bail
closed.
With a flick of a switch, BaitSensor
puts the reel in a free spool mode,
enabling the angler to live line bait,
drop back off outriggers and adjust
downrigger lines with the bail closed.
BaitSensor is fully adjustable, pro-
viding precise tension to meet condi-
tions of boat speed, current, or to let the
fish run with the bait. For hooksetting,
flip a switch either right or left, and the
spool instantly engages to the pre-set
drag tension.
The new QMD's unique, over -sized
Magnum Drag System is frontloaded
for maximum surface area and perfor-
mance. The spool housing also serves to
dissipate drag heat to insure smooth,
fade -free performance.
The new MaxCast spool has a
specially -designed lip that guides line
away from the spool hp instead of
around it, allowing greater casting
distance with less effort because of
reduced line friction.
The reels feature stainless ball bear-
ings and precise cut brass pinion gears.
The over -sized centre shaft ensures
durability and smooth operation.
Both QMD's have right/left inter-
changeable handles, and silent, selec-
tive anti -reverse. Both come with the
Quantum Limited Lifetime Warranty.
The heavy freshwater/light saltwater
QMD45 has a 5:1 gear ratio, and line
capacity of 250 yards of 10 pound test
mono. The lighter QMD25, a medium
freshwater reel, has a gear ratio of
5.4:1, and a line capacity of 200 yards of
6 pound test mono.
Football Redmen win season opener
Clinton's Central Huron Redmen opened
their Huron -Perth junior football season,
with a 16-13 win in Norwell on September 18.
The Norwell juniors featured a strong run-
ning game but were able to score only once
in the first half against a tenacious Clinton
defense.
Trailing 6-0 at the beginning of the second
half, Central Huron took the field determin-
ed to turn it around. Murray Bechtel caught
the opening kickoff, sprinted for the right
side and then cut back against the grain for
a spectacular 70 yard return that tied the
game. Bechtel then hooked up with Daryl
Hemingway on the two point conversion,
giving Central Huron their first lead of the
game.
With a half of football under their belts
both teams settled into a more controlled
form of play between the thirty yard lines.
Finally, late in the third quarter, the
Norwell juniors moved the ball down to the
Clinton 5 yard line and sent Shaun Hedge in
for the go-ahead touchdown. Unable to con-
vert, Norwell was forced to settle for a 12 to
8 lead going into the fourth quarter.
Early in the fourth quarter the Redmen
fell short on a third and two attempts and
Norwell took possession on their own 35 yard
line. Again they moved the ball well on the
Final softball
series tied
Playing for the championship, the Oesch
Woodworking Squirt Boys softball team
split a pair of games with Brussels on
September 19 and September 21.
During the game on September 19 in
Brussels Clinton was defeated by a score of
15-3, but they came back at home on
September 21 at Optimist Park to win 2-0.
In the first game the top batters for Clin-
ton were Nathan Burns and David Hiltz with
two hits each.
In the second game Nathan Burns pitched
a no hitter striking out 11 batters.
The game was scoreless until the bottom
of the fourth inning when Nathan Burns led
off with a walk, and was sacrificed to second
by Chris Dixon. Mark Falconer drove him in
with a triple to right field, and Derek Hog-
garth then followed with a RBI single to
complete the scoring.
Top batter for Clinton in this game was
Mark Falconer with two triples.
Volleyball
team opens
� season away
By Dawn Honking
GODERICH - The Central HuronSecondary
School senior boys vollyball team, con-
sisting of 14 members, play their first of-
ficialCtournament in Goderich on September
25.
Their coach, Keith Allen, expects a good
year, saying that they have a good chance of
making the playoffs. Last year, the team,
ledby Gary Godkin, missed the playoffs by
one position, finishing in seventh spot.
This year the team captain is Shawn
Lester. Three players have moved up from
junior volleyball to senior and the rest are
mostly second year seniors.
Overall the school hopes to have a good
volleyball team and are expecting a suc-
cessful year.
ground, but Clinton's defensa dug in and
forced the home team to settle for a single
point safety.
Clinton took possession of the ball on their
own 35 and ran the ball well for a first down.
The Norwell defense adjusted forward to
stop the ground game, so Coach Reidy sent
Daryl Hemingway wide right on a down and
out pattern. With six minutes remaining in
the game, quarterback Murray Bechtel hit
his receiver with a perfect twenty yard pass
and the speedy Hemingway did the rest, to
put Clinton ahead 14-13. Dan McDougall
then went around right end for the two point
conversion.
Norwell made a determined effort to get
back on the score board. However, good
penetration by ends Keith Verburg and Jim
Crawford, and fine tackling by outside
linebackers Jeff Jewitt and Dan McDougal,
badly disrupted these efforts. Inside
backers Jason Papple, David Jervis and
Norris Flynn provided good support behind
defensive liners Scott Kirton, Brad Jewitt,
Dwayne Peters, Kevin Stirling and Mark
Ritchie.
Unable to convert on their final third down
attempt, Norwell turned the ball over to
Clinton with two minutes remaining in the
game.
Content with controlling the game,
quarterback Murray Bechtel alternated bet-
ween keeping the ball and handing off to
running backs Steve Van Den Dool and
Jeremy Ten Hag. Behind the strong block-
ing of offensive linemen Bruce Siertsema,
Jamie MacDonald, Mike Steckle, Keith Ver -
burg, and Herman Gerritts, the Redmen
successfully moved the ball downfield until
the final whisle halted' their drive.
Special team players Keith Ducharme,
Richard Lyndon, Gavin McClenaghan and
Kent Rathwell, Jason Turner and Murray
Townsend round out a Central Huron
Redmen team that hopes to continue its win-
ning ways during its home opener against
Stratford Northwestern on September 25.
