"Super facilities! One of the nicest complexes I've been in," he said. By his own admission, Mr. Nesbitt is well qualified to judge such establishments, having seen 16 different ones, "from Collingwood to Chat- ham" during his recent quest for employ- ment as head man on an arena staff, before ending up in Seaforth. The building's spaciousness and "well - situated" office facilities, are among the features Mr. Nesbitt likes best about the Seaforth complex. Mr. Nesbitt took over his duties on September 26. He is in the process of getting settled into town with his wife Pam and their two sons Derek, three and Joey, one -and -a - half. Prior to taking the job here, Mr. Nesbitt has worked since 1979 as Assistant Parks and Recreation Manager in Glencoe. A graduate of the sports management course at Fan- shawe College, Mr. Nesbitt has also taken arena maintenance courses at Ridgetown College in Guelph. He is currently taking an in-service recreation leadership course, which he expects to graduate from in early December.

Cool weather means excellent fishing Cool autumn weather means excellent fishing and it also means a great chance to land the Junkers that will win the 1985 "Molson" Big Fish Contest. Entries of largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, muskellunge, walleye, lake trout, rainbow trout, speckled trout, and salmon will be accepted until November 30, 1985. As Ontario's most prestigious angling Duck hunting good despite bluebird weathe competition, the "Molson" Big Fish Contest, operated by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, awards $40,000 in cash and prizes for the largest fish that are caught in the province's lakes and rivers. Prizes are the same for the two categories, Catch and Keep or Live Release, and include a total of 18 Evinrude electric trolling motors, 54 cash prizes, and 270 Mitchell rods and reels. In addition, one entrant will be awarded the title of "Ontario Angler of the Year" and will receive a 9.9 h.p. Evinrude outboard motor. One sportsman in contention for a share of the prizes is Willowdale angler Paul Gasbar- ino who landed and live released a 42,5 inch (fork length) northern pike in Gee -e'en Bay. He currently holds top spot in his class with this entry. r The Catch and Keep speckled trout caught in Pat Lake (between Sudbury and Timmins) by Dan Bowman also shows promise of being judged a winner, The Powassan, Ontario Prospects look good for area duck and waterfowl hunters, if the first two weeks of the 1985 season are any indication. The Hullett Wildlife Conservation Area has been this region's hunting hot spot since opening day, September 25, with provincial natural resource ministry surveys indicating the best opening day success rate in five years. Hullett Manager Glen Sturgeon said all the hunting stations in the waterfowl area were continually full on opening day, with a second wave of hunters waiting for an open station. Numbers have trailed off quite a bit since then, said Mr. Sturgeon, adding there have been a few stations open every day since the season opening. Hunters have enjoyed excellent success," even though the weather has not been conducive to good duck hunting, said Mr. Sturgeon. Last Saturday, for instance, was what hunters call "a bluebird day," with sunny skies and little wind. "Real good duck hunting calls for wind, rain -- inclement weather," said Mr. Sturgeon. The wind and rain improve hunting conditions by making the birds more mobile, he added. While many local hunters take advantage of the controlled hunting environment at Hullett. Mr. Sturgeon estimates the majority of hunters using the facilities are non -local. Many local hunters prefer to hunt along area river flats or at the local lagoon. The latter situation is permitted through an agreement with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, said Charles Campbell, a hunter and member of the Seaforth hunting club. Most landowners, "if approached proper- ly." are not averse to allowing hunters use of their property, said Mr. Campbell. Mr. Campbell said all the hunters he has spoken to have "done quite well," at the lagoon and on the rivers. He also said he has heard no complaints about hunting condi- tions out at Hullett. Game birds have been plentiful during the early part of the season, although flock numbers begin to diminish from now until the northern birds begin to migrate down to this area, as the weather grows colder, Mr. Campbell said. Hunting so far has been "on a par with last year," said Mr. Campbell, although the number of geese seems to be up slightly. Aside from duck and waterfowl hunting, the Hullett facility, also offers upland game hunting in its B Zone, which Mr. Sturgeon said is always less crowded than the waterfowl A Zone. Upland game consists of rabbits, pheasants and ruffled grouse. The Hullett area employs a "put and take" system for stocking upland game, and Mr. Sturgeon said about 1,000 pheasapts will be released over the course of tNhe hunting season. The stock birds are raised right at the Hullett site. Many novice hunters are attracted to the upland game hunting because it does not require as much specialized equipment as waterfowl hunting. "All you need are a license, a shotgun and a pair of rubber boots," said Mr. Sturgeon. Upland game hunting is an active sport, as hunters must walk to stalk their game, as opposed to waiting in a blind, as duck hunters do, Another attraction of the sport is it is not as time consuming. "A lot of the guys just like to go out for a couple of hours in the afternoon," Mr. Sturgeon said. SrttNllU Reception SPECIALISTS 'DEMONSTRATIONS • INSTALLATIONS • SALES Vora, Dot.
