from soratohi, with" no
previous wepOworking
.experience and no formal
plan to follovi. The end
result was a craft,
modelled after the old'
Indian canoes with the
high peaks at bow and
etern,that took about two
weeks to construct.
"I could have doe it in
four days if I'd worked on
it all the time," he said.
He began by moulding
the ribs of the boat using
strips of spruce 1/2 inch
thick by "/2 inches wide..
On those, he plied sixteen
layers of newspaper and
one layer of the mesh
cloth used for
fibreglassing. This, he
explains, is what gives
the canoe its strength
after it is coated with a
fibreglass resin or
enamel. Although the
paper will become brittle
over time, the cloth would
bend somewhat before it
would crack.
At either end, Shawn
found that a more pliable

This Is the boat that Shawn built. It is a 16 foot canoe
of the Indian styling and took Shawn Watson, of
Goderich, about two weeks to complete. Unfor-
tunately, having had it in the water only twice, it
was stolen last weekend. But a canoe of this shape
shouldn't be hard to spot and Shawn still hopes for
its return. (Photo by Jason Ainslie)

Played nine innings, still 1-1
•
Canada Company and
Ziebart played nine in-
nings Sunday before the
teams settled for a 1-1 tie
in Industrial League
action. •
Glen Tigert and Simon
Langlois were locked in a
pitching duel that
produced a total of 13 hits
between the teams in nine
innings.
Canada Company
scored the first run of the
game in the fourth inning
as Rob MacDonald
walked, was sacrificed to
second and scored on
Glen Tigert's single.
Tigert's single was also
the first Company hit off
Langlois.
Ziebart got that run
back in their half of the
fifth as Wayne Doak
nailed a one -out single,
stole second and third
and thenscored on
Langlois' sacrifice fly to
right.
Canada Company had
the best chance to win the
game after placing
runners at second third

Goderich Mosquito
Blue Jays won their
second game of the
soccer season 'al Clinton
beating Clinton B by the
score of three goals to
nothing.
The goalscorers for
Goderich were Darcy
McGee, Chris Sideris and
Steve Austin. Darcy
scored in the first minute
of play with a strong run
down the left wing and a
goad shot.
Chris Sideris' goal
came after the Clinton
goalkeeper had lost
control of the ball in the
penalty area. Steve
Austin's shot was
deflected by a Clinton
player into his own net
after a strong attacking
move from the" Goderich
forwards.
Clinton missed their
'best chance to score when
they shot wide from a
penalty kick late in the
second half. The
Goderich defence played
well with Brian Cham-
bers and Ian McKinnon
doing good work at
fullback. John Paul
Empson, in goal,
registered his first
shutout of the season.
Rich Boddy and Lisa
Kisch played well and are
showing improvement in
each game.
with none out in the ninth.
Mike Donnelly led off the
inning with a doulbe and
held at third on Tigert's
single. Tigert advanced
to second on the play but
Langlois struck out
Bryan Bowman and got
Tom and John O'Keefe to
'retire the side and snuff'
the threat.
Ziebart could have
wrapped the game in the
bottom of the seventh as
Greg Hansen reached
third base but was left
stranded.
Tigert gave up eight
hits to Ziebart and struck
out 10 batters across nine
innings., Canada Com-
pany managed five hits

Sh4wn'o, - Canoe
measures 16 feet long and
30 inches wide at the
centre gunwhales. It
draws about six inches of
water with a man inside
and, because it is
equipped with a
stablizing runner along
the bottom, it is not as
prone to capsizing as are
many of the modern
outfits.
When his canoe was
completed,' Shawn was
able to construct a paddle
with the remaining pieces
of spruce. The paddle is
an outstanding work of
craftsmanship. It is
lightweight, with a grip
laminated to a bright
gloss. It was the perfect
completion to a job well
done.
ft • is -tad art iiriatelhat
this story cannot continue
on a happy note, but last
week, Shawn's project
ended in disappointment.
Having been in the
water only twice since its
completion a week ago,
the canoe was stolen last
weekend. To say that
Shawn Watson is irate,
would be a gross un-
derstatem ent.
He last saw it on
Saturday night at eight
o'clock, and discovered it
•
missing 24 hours later. it
had been secured to a
tree witha chain below
thp railroadArnelttOgitre,
north shore of the
Maitland River, less than
a thousand metres from
Shawn's home in
Ridgewood Park. When
he returned to the boat
last Sunday, the chain
was still lying on the
ground with the clasps
unshackled. °
Whai is there to be said
in such a situation? Of
course, if the thieving
canoeists are quite
finished their games,
Shawn would greatly
appreciate the return of
his property - if even by
moonlight. And if anyone
sees this canoe (it's hard
to.-miss),--pleaseminforin—
Shawn or the police9
There is, however, one
encouraging point.
Shaw!), wlio is.. a,
,l-
natured' person, 'has
already begun working
on the plans for his
second such craft. It will
be the same, he says,
except that the ribs will
only measure 1/2 inch by
1/4 inch which will lighten
the canoe by as much as
35 pounds.
There are many dif-
ferent ideas that Shawn
can incorporate into his
future projects including
a square -back model of
canoe or a birch -bark
type or even a kayak.
He would Ake to try
them ail, and perhaps sell
a few ot.them too. And
