Clinton skating club elects new officers
The very important
first meeting of the C.F.S.
Club for the 1978-79
season was held Wed-
nesday September 13 at
the arena. The new
executive attending the
meeting were; president,
Anne Gibson; sec., Carol
Fox; treas., Dorothy
Dupee; Sharon White,
Mary Jean Beattie,
Jackie Barnes, Norma
Preszcator, Carole Lavis,
Audrey Middleton. Those
unable to attend were
Barb Norman, Ann
Beane, Barb Consitt,
naturally
speaking
Joyce Cook.
The problem of what to
do about an arena while
repairs are made at
Clinton was discussed.
Offers to take on some of
our skaters both at the
Goderich and Blyth clubs
was evaluated and ap-
preciated. It was felt,
however, that the total 77-
78 membership of 147 (the
largest ever) would drop
drastically and would be
• difficult to rebuild.
Therefore, it was
decided to rent ice at
Vanastra for 10 weeks
With the town hall without a custodian and the arena floor out the employees of
the rec department found themselves doing other things last week. Here, Butch
Fleet left, and James Strong, tend to Library Park. (News -Record photo)

Seaforth curling news
By Wendy Tremeer
The kids are back at
school and the frost is in
the air. To me it means
only one thing. It is time
to dust off my curling
bag, shine up the old
curling shoes and shake
the moth balls out of my
curling sweater.
We have already had
two meetings. The Ladies
Executive met to approve
the decorating that has
since been done in the
front entrance. Our
compliments on a job
well done.
Don't miss it!

By Steve Cooke
What do you do if you see someone poaching?
This question has plagued me for some time, so I
finally got in touch with the ministry of natural
resources' to find out.
The answer is fairly simple. "Get all the in-
formation you can, and let us know as soon as
possible", was the reply. The information they
wanted was pretty straight forward. If you see
the poacher's car, note the colour, make and
most important, the license number, If ' the
poacher is wearing a back patch (the part of the
hunting license that is supposed to be
prominently displayed), make a note of it as
well. A good description of the poacher (height,
weight, colour of hair, clothes) will also be of
immeasurable value.
If at all possible, it is also a good idea to note
just what the poacher has taken, and in what
numbers. Do not, however, confront the poacher.
If this is done, it will not only alert the
lawbreaker (he may get rid of the ey1idence), but.
also it may be dangerous. Remember, the
poacher is no better (and maybe worse) than a
common thief.
The next step then is to head for the nearest
phone and report the incident to the M.N.R. so
they may act as quickly as 'possible. To do this,
simply dial "0" for the operator and ask for
ZENITH 92,000. This is a toll free number and
will be answered by a radio dispatcher who will
contact a Conservation Officer and relay the
message. The other alternative is to call the
O.P.P. at ZENITH 50,000 and proceed in the
same manner. The one advantage of contacting
the O.P.P. is that -they usually have more patrol
cars on the road and can reach the area of the
offense faster than the M,DN.R. (particularly if
the offense is occurring at a distance from the
M.N.R. office or radio base). Both of the num-
bers are manned 24 hours a day and ring into the
closest O.P.P. dispatch office or M.N.R. office.
A lot of people will think -- what's this got to do
with me? I'll never see a poacher. That may be
trite, but on. the other hand, youmayilAplien on
the same type of incident that occut:rerdi Hallett
Conservation Area' last Saturday. The' Ontario
Bird Dog and Conservation Association were
holding a field trial out there and had been
releasing quail and pheasants for two days. At
about mid-afternoon, just as they were
preparing to start a pair of pointers on their
course, they heard- a shot ring out about .three
fields away in the middle of their run. A couple
of officials quickly jumped into a vehicle and
went to investigate. Lo and behold, there they
found a young man from London with his shotgun
loaded and ready to do mayhem with the quail
and pheasants in the field. What did' he do
wrong? Not much really. Apart from the fact
that Bobwhite quail are a protected species in
this area, and pheasant season doesn't open till
this coming Saturday, and he was shooting in the
middle of an organized field trial, he hadn't done
much wrong at all.
Did he do it on purpose or did he just not know?
If he did it on purpose, I'd like to see him
drawn and quartered. If he didn't know and
doesn't have. the . initiative to check the game
laws, he doesn't deserve to have either a hunting
license or a gun of any sort. In my opinion, if
that's the case, he's just too irresponsible to be
trusted with either. That's why I dislike poachers
and feel no qualms about turning them in.
They spoil it for all responsible and concerned
people, whether they are hunters or not. If you
see a poacher, turn him in. You'll be doing
yourself and everyone else a big favour.
