HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1985-11-06, Page 9Poachers caught There has been a better than average run of chinook salmon in the Bayfield, Maitland and Ltclmow (9 Mile) Rivers. As a result of this, there has also been a greater than usual number of poachers exploiting this resource by snagging or catching the fish with a net. Under the Ontario Fishery Regulations it is an offence to take these fish in any manner other than by "angling." A fish must be caught in the mouth to be "angled." Any "foul hooked", fish must be immediately returned to the water. In Goderich Provincial Court on October 17, 1985, 16 convictions for salmon poaching were registered resulting in $3,100.00 in fines being levied. As well, most offenders had their equipment forfeited to the crown. A number of these investigations that led to the convictions were as a result of information received from the public. This type of information is invaluable to the Conservation Officer in his efforts to protect the resource for the legitimate user. These fish are spawning at this time of year so they are particularly vulnerable to. poaching. Cooperation in controlling this problem is requested. Anyone seeing or suspecting poaching activity, are asked to call the Ministry of Natural Resources office at 357-3131 or 1-800-265-3003 if calling long distance from within the 519 area code.

It seems everywhere I turn, every time I pick up a newspaper or magazine, or watch television I'm being confronted with some- thing that causes cancer, or heart problems or some other fatal or lifelong affliction. Surely there must be something out there that is beneficial to us. Most recently I read an article which claimed books can distort children. It is common knowledge some books can be harmful but if it's a good book the reasoning is a child can't possibly be ill -affected. But it's not what's in the books that is distorting, for knowledge we know is mind - opening and books offer horizons unlimited for learning. It's the actual weight of the books that can literally distort the child's body. According to the article when a child sets off for school he or she is often perceived as an energetic child, eager to learn, or al least get to the one place he or she can hang out with his or her friends. But the article goes on to point out that child is perceived entirely differently by a chiropractor. The doctor sees a child weighed down with hooks. He sees a body out of balance. He sees faulty posture. He notes distortion and abnormal mechanics of the body. He recognizes spinal curvature and impaired function. SWEAT SOCKS by. Heather Mcllwraith This process of carrying books in one arm is repeated many thousands of times during a child's school career, It is a day -in, day -out routine that goes on for many years. The chiropractor knows this progressive pattern of body distortion can lead to physical disability and possible illness. I wish I'd known all this when I was a younhavegster been so trekking ferent What off to cl. Life an argument against homework. But it is too late for me. Whatever damage there was to be done was done. And strangely enough that damage appears to be minimal. I, and my back, seem to have survived the hardships of childhood and the rigors of school. I have aches and pains but those lean attest to as rewards for other rather foolish and careless activities I partook in in my later years of school --years when I'm sure my body was well past its formative stages. I don't mean to be overly cynical. I believe ther must be some truth to the statement that books can distort children. hut i find it rather a hyped up charge. Maybe we're so anxious to confront ourselves with health problem after health problem that we can spend time and energy trying to solve, that we've taken it a step too far --to the ridiculous. I don't remember as a kid having too many books to carry home after school. And while the majority of those books were hard -covers I doubt my speller, the book I carried home most in preparation for those daily quizzes, was more than a half -inch -thick, The only other textbooks I remember having were a mathbook and a reader and I don't recall them travelling much between school and home. Has school changed that drastically. Are students really burdened down with text- books. If so, maybe the article I've been referring to is the perfect argument for soft -covered books, at least then the weight would be dirtiinished. Or maybe kids should be taught to carry books in both arms with the weight evenly distributed, or even better still, how about more frequent use of backpacks.

(Continued from page A81 are 1 a illustrated holes that are played by rolling dice In this game you are allowed to aim each shot and choose your club, trying to avoid the various hazards on each hole. "Golf. The Game" can be played by two to eight players and involve trivia, humor, history in the form of true or false, and multiple choice questions. Correct answers advance you around the golf course on the hoard There is also a dart board with regular darts on one side and a special golf darts on the other allowing you to test your skill at avoiding traps, water hazards and more while scoring. As you can see there are many ways to enjoy golf all winter with very little effort. Of course if you are like most people, while , reading. watching television or playing parlor games, you use one hand to nibble with The result can be a putter's paunch, not so good come spring. If you want to keep in shape for next year's golf you will have to keep at least moderately active. Participatingr srts is not only good for the body andemind but it makes the winter seem so much shorter. Hockey, ringette, broomball. siding, skating, curling and walking all are beneficial, Long winter evenings give people ample time to play volleyball. basketball, swim or take judo or aerobics classes. Every little bit helps. You can always practise your putting and chipping in the living room and work on your grip while sitting in front of the T.V. Some pros offer indoor lessons all winter long using mats. nets, and the latest in video and computer technology. There are several places in London, Kitchener, and Toronto where the truly keen golfer can hone his skills during the winter months. At nearby Kitchener there is an indoor driving range where you can hit buckets of balls in comfort while the snowflakes fall outside. There is certainly no reason to give upon golf entirely during our Canadian winters, This will he my last golf column of the season. Hopefully we can get together here again in April '86. Until then, have a great winter, and stop out for a visit anytime for some coffee and tall tales from the world of golf . ML1WOOf MAOi PRE -OPENING SPECIAL OFFER!
