Wingham Advance-Times, 1981-02-18, Page 124; • inghaan Advance -Times, February 18, 1981 NEE®LESS WASTE—Conservation Officer Bob Pegg was called out Monday to pick up several deer which had been run down and killed by dogs, He said the Ministry of Natural Resources is appealing to landowners to keep their dogs under control and prevent this needless killing. Wingham Royals lose series opener, 6 -1 The Royals opened their playoff schedule by losing in Mildmay to theMonarchs. The loss gave Mildmay a one -game advantage in the best -of -five series. ti The Monarchs got their first goal of the game on the powerplay at 10:15 of the first period when Lahn beat Hugh Nichol in the Wingham net. Strong goaltending by Nichol prevented further Monarch tallies in the period as the 'Royals could not get their offence together. In the second period a 17 - shot barrage netted the Mildmay club three goals. Bennett, Lahn and Allen all scored to increase the Mild- may advantage to 4-0. Strong skating and forechecking again kept the Royals' shooters at hay., Again strong goaltending by Nichol held the Royals close. The third period started on a bad note for Wingham when Eccles scored after only 16 seconds of the period. However, Gary Lisle scored a powerplay marker, assisted by Bernie Haines, to get Wingham on the score sheet two minutes later. It was to be the only Royals score of the game, although' the third period found the clubs' skating and passing better. The Monarchs added its final goal at 17:59 of the period Seniors' Day Centre News By Rita Rice Due to rather unfavorable weather during the past week, the number of seniors at the centre was somewhat low. We had to cancel all programs last Wednesday, but were functioning on Tuesday and Thursday of last week. Doug, McEachern from the Ministry of Natural Resources, Wingham district, was to visit last Tuesday, Feb. 10. Since not all of our Tuesday regulars were in because of poor weather, Mr. McEachern's visit has been 'rescheduled to Tuesday, March 17, at 1 p.m. Our indoor gardening here at the centre is progressing favorably. The small seedlings of petunias, marigolds and other plants have started to show signs of life. We will be waiting a few more weeks before doing any more planting. One program we hope to start soon is designing 'dish gardens' with some of our smaller plant life. If anyone has any cracked bowls gtc. we would very much appreciate these. On Tuesday and Wed- nesday of this week 'the seniors had the opportunity of viewing ,the film 'Black Creek Pioneer Village'. The CPR (cardio- pulmonary . recusitation) course that was held at the. Armouries last Thursday evening was very successful. Eleven people participated — the staff here at the centre, volunteers from the centre and the stroke rehabilitation program, as well as community citizens. All 11 people are now'cer- tified in the Level 1, Heart Saver Course. Some new seniors have started in our program together with a few from Teeswater and Brussels. Since more people are at- tending the centre all the time, there is always a need for more volunteer drivers. We do reimburse each driver 25 cents per mile. If you can drive, or know of anyone who would be interested, we certainly would like to hear from you. Call the centre at. 357-1440 any time. when Marchildon scored on a breakaway. Final score was 6-1. In the game, Royals' Dave Golley injured his shoulder and missed much of the action, while Monarch Steve Harper suffered what ap- peared •to be a fractured collarbone when levelled by a heavy check early in the match. The Royals play Mildmay at home Thursday, Feb. 19, at 8:30 p.m. and travel back to Mildmay Friday, Feb. 20. The fourth game of the series will be played in Wingham on Feb. 22 at 2:30 p.m. Come out and get the Royals rolling. Sweetheart bonspiel There were two draws for the Sweetheart Bonspiel, held Monday at the Wingham Golf and Curling Club. The winning team for the 9 a.m. draw consisted of Dave Ablett, Carol Beattie, Jim Beattie and Nan McKibbon. In second spot was Bill Hanula's team; third, Larry McDonald, and consolation winner was the team of Gary, Reid. Grant Coultes' team of Marg Moffatt, Keith Elston and Barb Farrish took the 11 a.m. draw to, win the CKNX Silver Cup trophy.

Last year the cup was redesigned and submitted for this annual mixed curling club match and ap- propriately supports two cupids and a,heart.. ii Three on weekend Ministry reports problem with dogs kiJling d Deer, weakened by winter and hampered by deep snow, are beginning to fall victim to packs of dogs, and local conservation officers are trying to head off the problem before it becomes more serious. Earlier this month officers were called out to pick up the carcasses of three deer killed by dogs, and five additional reports of dogs running deer had been received. The problem is just coming to.a head, Bob Pegg of the Wingham district office, Ministry of Natural Resources, reported. A thaw followed by freezing weather forms a crust on the snow which will support a dog, but not a heavier deer. This permits a dog to run along on top of the snow while the deer flounders through it. The problem is not localized in one area, he said, but is spread out all over the Wingham district. Two of the kills were along the Teeswater River in Culross Township while the third was in Howick Town- ship, south of Gorr ie. He said the• ministry wants to remind landowners, it is illegal to allow dogs to run at ,.large during the ..closed season for deer, in an area where deer live. Dogs caught running deer can be shot by conservation officers and charges laid against the owners, he said, but' officers prefer to take -a lower key approach. "All we're asking is that landowners just keep control of their dogs." They also ask that people report any incidents of dogs, running deer. Mr. Pegg said they have been monitoring the deer herd and it appears to be in pretty good shape despite the hard winter. However the deer have very little body fat left and so have no energy reserves to allow them to cope with harassment by dogs. Particularly . affected are does, which are becoming heavy with fawn, and first-year fawns. A number of landowners have reported deer, exhausted from a chase, standing in open fields or coming right up .to farm 'buildings, he said. In those cases conservation officers go out and try to move the deer back to a safe place in the bush. •••••••••••••••••••••••®•• Bowling scores ••••••••••••••••••.•••••®• WEDNESDAY LADIES Jeannett Scott bowled the high single of 280, while Shirley captured the triple with 733.

Seniors® group considers. busing in members The regular meeting of the Wingham senior citizens' Happy Gang was held at the Armouries Friday.

There are about 45 members in the group," however this is small for the number of seniors living in Wingham and surrounding. area. Another item discussed, and one that is still being investigated, is the possibility of busing the seniors to the regular meetings. Lets hear from you. The Happy Gang was informed again about the Seniors' World Congress, which will be held in Toronto r MRS. ALLAN GRIFFITH this year and the group is still hoping that a local club member may be able to attend.
