News Dave McElwain one of top scorers for Cologne Sharks in Germany By Susan Hundartnark Expositor Editor As one of the leading scorers in the German Elite Hockey League right now, Seaforth's Dave McLlwain is having one of his best years yet with the Kolner Haie (or Cologne Sharks). "It's going pretty good. Most of my shots have been been going in this year," says McLlwain modestly during a telephone interview from his home in Germany. But, articles in several German magazines his parents brought home from a recent trip to visit their son are a little more excited about McLlwain's achievements this year. The sports magazine Kicker calls Mcpwain "der hammer- hai" or shark with a hammer and "utterscetzlich" or irreplaceable. It quotes Sharks' coach Hans Zach as saying McLlwain is one of the best players he's ever had. The article also says Zach was so impressed by McLlwain when he joined the team that he extended his contract to 2005. The magazine Eishockey World (Ice Hockey World), calls McLlwain and his two linemates Alex Hicks and lean -Yves Roy, the "powerplay kings" who are the "best and most dangerous offensive players" in the league. All three are Canadians, who come from "the Motherland of Hockey," but the article calls McLlwain the "oldest and most knowledgeable." "I think we're a good team. We fit well together," McLlwain is quoted about his team."We have a lot of collective experience and we know how to handle most situations." Roy tells the magazine that McLlwain is "cool." "Take a look at the number of goals he has," says Roy. McLlwain leads his team right now with 21 goals and 24 assists, his highest -scoring year during his four years with the Sharks. McLlwain has been playing hockey in Europe for six years, following a 10 - year career with the NHL playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Winnipeg Jets, the New York Islanders, the Buffalo Sabres, the Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Ottawa Senators. At 36, he's the oldest player on the Cologne team and with both of his linemates out right now with injuries, McLlwain is playing with some junior -aged (17- 19 -year-old) teammates currently. "I've been helping out with the young kids. In Germany, we have junior -aged players on the top teams and they're all willing to learn from the The Corporation of the Municipality of Huron East NOTICE is hereby given that pursuant to the Municipal Act, S.O. 2001, c.25, as amended, s.34, the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Huron East proposes to enact by-laws as described below to stop up and close a road allowance between Centennial Road and Division Line, Tuckersmith Ward, and to stop up and close a road known as Bridge Road between Grieves Line and North Line, McKillop Ward.

"With injuries on our team, the younger guys are playing more than usual. It's a big step for them," he says. McLlwain's age is a question with the German media as well and in the Eishockey article, McLlwain responds, "Everybody always mentions age. Age doesn't matter. You're only as old as you feel." And, on the phone he says, "I'm going to keep playing as long as I can. I'm still healthy and I can still perform and I'll keep going as long as I'm still having fun." Jack and Audrey McLlwain, who have visited Dave every year since he's moved to Germany, say they had a great trip in January. "It's a really great holiday and we saw five games while we were there. We watched a couple of important games and it's still exciting watching him play." says Audrey. Jack agrees that he enjoyed watching the four wins and one loss the Sharks had while the McLlwains were in Germany. "It's real fast hockey and David is playing really well." says Jack. Steckle wants hunting honoured as cultural activity Huron -Bruce MP Paul Steckle insists the time has come for the federal government. to formally recognize the importance of angling and hunting as cultural heritage activities in Canada. To move the process forward Steckle recently co-sponsored the introduction of the National Heritage Hunting and Fishing Act in the House of Commons. In addition to proposing the, National Fish and Wildlife Heritage Commission. the legislation seeks to formally recognize the vitally important role that anglers and hunters have filled in Canada's history. "We think there needs to be an umbrella hill for the purpose of national identity that indicates to Canadians that Canada is a place where you can hunt and fish — it's part of our heritage." Steckle said. Known as Bill C-469, the act would recognize how recreational hunting and fishing have played an important role in shaping Canada's social, cultural and economic heritage and formally recognize the important contribution of hunters and anglers to the understanding, conservation. restoration and management of Canada's fish and wildlife resources. Steckle expressed disappointment over the Ontario government's decision last month to take a multi -pronged approach to bear management rather than reinstate the spring hear hunt that was eliminated by thc Harris government in 2001. Under the provincial government's hear management plan the Ministry of Natural Resources will implement a 24 -hour -a -day. seven -day -a -week nuisance bear response system including a I - 800 number that people can call to report problems and the MNR will establish a program to support the efforts by municipalities to avoid nuisance hear problems in their community. "We have Americans who arc willing to come into Canada and pay huge dollars to come up here just to buy the license and then all the money they spend when they're here." Steckle said. "To come up with the idea that people are shooting sow hears and leaving cubs orphaned is a crock. There arc sow hears that get killed on the road and there are sow bears that get killed by their own kind. "The decision to cancel the spring bear hunt had nothing to do with science it was about the corporation that had the money and convinced Mr. Hams to change it." Steckle pointed to thc problem with deer collisions in his own riding — in 2002 there were 350 collisions on Huron County roads involving deer — and said the time has come for Canadians to utilize all the resources they have. "We have so much going for us in this country so Ict's use it." Steckle said. "Let's take the tax dollars that can he generated from it and use it to better the cause." Steckle said at the moment the new committee is being supported by the Liberals but expects it to be supported by all parties. "As an avid angler and hunter myself i am proud to have played a part in putting this legislation forward,' said Stecklc. treasurer of the National Liberal Outdoors Caucus. "Canada, and indeed North America, exists today as a direct result of the lush and abundant natural resources that this nation was blessed with." "From the first nations people and the coureur des bois to modern day fishers and hunters, these naturalists have, by their example, shown us all that we must work very hard to manage and preserve our natural resources for our children and grandchildren."
