Tennis and you.
Don t hold }your breath waiting for more
,tennis courts, Seaforth, -because if they
come it won't be for several• -Years. .
At the present' time, the only public
tennis courts in town. are the two as :phalt
ones at the high school. During the
summer, theyare constantly in use. So why
doesn't someone build more? The answer
is easy. Money. New courts would cost at
least S25,000,probably more!
But how can other towns, such. as
Mitchell, afford new courts? Well, there
are several ways to get the funds. Here are
the, main. ones.
Government grants can be used to help
' finance athletic facilities,- including tennis
courts. First, a figure representing the
total cost of the project must be obtained
from a contractor. Let's say that .figure. was
$30,000. Of that, 25% would be covered by
the Community Recreation Centres Act.. In
'this case,; that would be. S7,500. Wintario
grants would pay:for % of the remainder,
thus another S7,500. The one stipulationon
the Wintario grant is that an equal arnount
Must be raisedby,some means other than
from tax funds,. This means public
donations, either from, individuals ••or
service clubs. This would take .care of
more,leaving e
$7,500 Ie mg th same amount to
be raised any, way possible, such as. from
`the municipality or local school. board.
This seems simple. •One snag. Wintario
has placed a two year freeze on all grants to
provideatime of re-evaluation. So muchfor
that idea.
The town and/or the school board could
build new courts. And why not? What's a
mere $30,.000? Don't bet on it.
The. next thing that comes to mind are
the service clubs. After all, they're the.
ones who' have built the local ball diamonds
and swimming pool.
The :Lions Club' has no plansto build
courts, They once ran courts across the
road from the Liens.. Park on propertynow
owned by. Brad Smith, But they weren't
heavily used and so were abandoned. Now
the.remains include only a broken, heaved
• cement court and a, bit of .fencing, .
Larry Wesenberg, president., of the.
Optimist Club in Seafortb explains that
plans for courts • at their park in the south
end of town have beendiscussed a few
times, but no definite decisions were
made. The main problem` is .that the club
can't take en too;' much' at onetime. Last
year they built riew'stands for the ball park,
and this summer they are constructing new
play ground equipment, which should. .be
-:finished in a few :weeks, There :is a:good
psosibility that such a .project could.' be
undertaken in a few years, says Larry, but
theball park comes first.
One last way of obtaining the 'money is
the most unlikely. There is a slight chance,
that some wealthy individual may see. fit to
part with enough of the ; green stuff to
finance new tennis courts for Seaforth
players: Any volunteers?

The August 1979 issue of Sports ,Afield
featured an article dealing with, a sen-
sational pew lure that was making big
waves or the west coast. This lure, called
the Frisky Fly was the brainchild of Walt
Rogers in Klamath: Falls,, Oregon, and was
one of the most popular lures for steelhead-
ing; and salmon fishing out there. Being a
curious person, and always wanting to find
THE lure Which will always catch fish, I got
in touch. with Walt and ordered a dozen
assorted colours and sizes. of Frisky Flies.
Because they were so hard to get in the
east, 1 hoarded them, and only dug one out
on the occasion "to give it a try," Over the
course of the next 3 years, I managed to
lose`them all and since replacements wero
not readily available, (plus the fact that I'd
lost the original address) the Frisky Fly
slowly faded from my mind.
Then; it happened to me again. About a
month ago,1 saw an ad for the Frisky Fly. I
startedto think back to my original dozen
and how they had performed. The more. I;
thought, about them,, the more amazed i
became that I didn't "pick up" on their
astounding, success while . it was actually
happening. 1 suddenly realized that: (1) i'
only used the Frisky Fly when nothing -else
seemed to work, and caught fish with it;
(2) all my flies were lost as a result of a
"break off" wheni was playing a fish. - not
one on a snag;` (3) rainbow, cohoe,
brooktrout and bass all fell for the lure; and
(4) when the Frisky Flies were gone, 1 no
longer had an ace 'in the hole that 1 could
count on. Now I'm back in business
because the Frisky Fly- is still available,
and moving, East,
The. Frisky .•Fly is an unconventional`
looking lure.: manufactured from a moulded,
plastic surrounding a:single barbed hook,.
The real. secret .to the lure, however, lies
with the connector link attached to the eye;
of the hook. It is this linkwhich lets the lure.
Vibrate and vibrate it does. If the lure is
working, you can feel it. The throbbing
transmits itself up the line, through the rod
and into the reel, and from my experience; .
if. that throbbing stops, set thehook
because you've got'a fish on. •

Ever have a soggy cooler problem? YOU
know, pack up a bunch of ice and food in a
picnic cooler only to find a day later that
everything is floating around in a bunch of
water. There are a couple of fairly easy
solutions to this problem. One is to use the
commercial ice packsthat are readily
available and can be re -used indefinitely.
The other, that 1' find handy, is, to, buy a
couple of plastic quart containers with.
screw on tops. Fill.' these with orange juice,
freeze (leave a space at the top and the top
loose whilefreezing) and use these to keep,
your food fresh. The orange juice can be
used up as it thaws just leaving a couple of
empty containers to pack up for the trip,
home.

if you are ;going hunting this fall,
remember you need a Firearms Acquisition
Certificate in order to buy or borrow a gun.
The certificate costs $10,00 and applic-
ations are available at sporting goods
stores or your local 0;P,P. office. It takes
sometime to process applications, so now
is the time to acquire one if you think you
might have any need for 'it. It is suspected
that a flood of applications will occur as the
hunting season approaches, delaying the
processing time even more. If you leave it
too late. you may. find you don't have your
F.A.C. in time for that hunting trip you are
planning.
The MinistrY of Natural Resources has
announced that there will be a raccoon
season from now on. Starting this fall,
raccoons can only be hunted or trapped.
from October 15 to December 31 in any
year. it is hoped that this move will help
increase the pelt quality of 'raccoons
received for, auetion.at the North Bay fur
sales. • Apparently in the past, up to one
third of the pelts received were of poor
quality as a result of being harvested either
too earlyin the fallor too Tate in the spring.
