New manager likes .local arena
Graham Nesbitt, newly -appointed man-
ager of the Seaforth and District Community
Centres, thinks Seaforth has one of the best
arena -community centre facilities around.
"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.
NEW MANAGER— ra am esb tt, a ormer Glencoe resident, recently moved to Seaforth to
become manager of the local arena -community centre complex. Mr. Nesbitt visited quite a few
Ontario arenas recently and considers the Seaforth facility among the best of Its kind In the

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.
