Clinton News-Record, 1979-05-17, Page 6• ;y PAGE 6 —CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1979 Win and a tie Flyers soaring high by Ace The Flemings' Flyers soccer team, after two league games, remain undefeated with a victory and a tie. The Clinton squad, with a strong effort and . consistent passing, defeated the Portuguese team by a score of 4-0 in London at the league opener recently. The Flyers took a one goal lead in the first half on a goal by John Elliott, who was sent in alone on the Portuguese goalkeeper on a long pass from Brian Kennedy. In the second half, the Flyers, with a controlled attack, took advantage of the short-handed Por- tuguese team. Elliott scored his second goal of the game on almost an identical goal, once again 'naturally speaking set up by Kennedy. Alex Harrett sent Clinton three goals in front on a perfect shot to the upper corner of the net. Kennedy closed out the Clinton scoring, kicking home a perfect pass from Bill Cantelon. The minor soccer system in Clinton is starting to pay off its dividends as Elliott played a strong offensive game. Also Roy Brown and Richard Johns turned in strong per- formances at halfback. The Flyers' defence, spearheaded by Peter Wise, only allowed the Portuguese forwards two shots on net in recording the shutout. In their home opener the Flyers played to a 2-2 draw against a strong Curinga team. Both I enjoyed a wholesome meal the other day that virtually didn't cost me a cent. It consisted of a few smelt gleaned from the poor run we had in this area, served up with a steaming heap of marsh marigold greens and a bowl of watercress for a salad. The smelt were the hardest to get, but the greens only took a few minutes to collect. With just a little knowledge, anyone can collect enough greens to feed `a family in just a few minutes during a Sunday walk. -One of the most important aspects of enjoying wild greens is the proper preparation of therm for the table.) There are also a few greens that must be cooked with one or more changes of water (such as the marsh marigold) in order to remove any undesirable properties which might be present. A host- of books have appeared on the Market dealing with the preparation of wild foods, but the one that I find myself referring' to the most is, "A Taste of the Wild", by Blanche. Pownall Garrett of Benmiller. I'm often asked what plants are available to eat this time of year and am forced to reply that spring has to be _mother nature's second most l o -rf ., :+s- t. ��.��•G` :�I'IE21�fEwr.`�1��327�, �£�Ctt�'�'¢•'f..'Lt�',r"i'IZ� 'plants'-=fnake--ekCel=rrf•-greens; seed =tl, c eµ-rs .a whole list of shoots that can be used as asparagus substitutes. Salads are 'free for the picking and wild onions and leeks are at their best for seasoning. Even mushrooms in the form of morels are available for an interesting side dish. Why don't you check out your local bookstore for a wild, plant identification guide and take it along the next time the mild weather beckons you to take a walk in the country. + + -1- If If mosquitos and black flies bother you, take heart. There is an insect repellant that really works. I tried "Muskol" for the first time last fall 'and was surprised at its effectiveness. The manufacturers claim it will last up to eight hours, and from the trial runs I've given it so far, I'm prepared to believe them. Now that the "bugs" are with us again, I'll be able to test it to its full extent. You'll have to search to find it; however., only Home Har- dware has it now. It's expensive, (probably the reason it's not on every shelf) costing about $3.89 for a 2 oz. bottle, but it looks like it's going to be worth every cent. + + + The gun control issue is raisin its ugly head again. I've just received a co of a letter that brings back all the old fears. The letter, which is dated January 22, 1979, and is printed on what appears to, be the Chief of Police's letterhead from the Ottawa Police is' a confidential memorandum to the Firearms Control Unit; Administrative Personnel only. The memorandum refers to the paper known as the "Police Function" dealing with public disarmament. What it says in effect is that due to all the publicity that gun control issues have been receiving, enforcing agencies are requested to suspend all activities for the time being. It goes on to say that implementation will be resumed according to a revised schedule, and supplementred by more Orders in Council after the general' election takes place. In the mean- time, enforcement agencies are not to take any action "which may tend to alarm the large number of civilian firearm owners." The memorandum appears to be signed by Thomas E, Welsh, Ottawa Chief of Police. As is always the case in official confidential documents, the authenticity of this memo is difficult to determine. If it is false, the Ottawa Police would naturally deny it, but on the other hand, if it is authentic, the nature of the content would demand that it be automatically denied anyway, If, it's true, -we may be in for a big surprise in the near future. The only way we'll be able to determine the truth will be "after the fact", but then it'll be too late. You may not personally support hunting and associated activities, but as a true Canadian you should support the basic concept of freedom and the right to bear arms that this country is so famous for.

Curinga took a 1-0 lead in the first half when the ball took a strange bounce over Jeurgen Hellman's head and the London team was quick to take advantage. Clinton was happy to leave the first half only down one goal as Curinga took advantage of the wind and kept the pressure on the Flyers. The Flyers came out roaring in the second half and after 10 minutes, tied the score on a goal by Kennedy set , up by Cantelon. Approximately eight minutes later, Clinton took the lead when Cantelon beat Curinga's goalie on a shot from the right side. However, Curinga fought back and tied the score again when a, ,rebound escaped keeper Hellman and Curinga put the ball in the net before the Clinton defence could 'recover. The score remained tied at 2-2 as the teams completed the game in a steady rain. Harrett turned, in a strong per- formance for the Clinton team. The next game for the Flyers is on May 20, when the team travels to Stratford to play a for- midable juvenile team at 4pm.

Colts in action, open on Friday The Clinton Colts, now known as the Fleming Colts, thanks to the ex- cellent generosity of Bill Fleming of Fleming's Feed Mill, open the season this Friday night when they host the Dash- wood Tigers for a 7 pm game. With many of the old faces back, including Stu Mustard and ace pitcher Mark Nicholson, the Colts hope to get off to a eood start in their long pursuit of an Ontario cham- pionship. The Colts are also boasting of a new coach this year, Brian "Sly" nenneay, and a new manager, Len Fawcett. Also back on the roster is Dave Fawcett, who will be joined by Tag Sowerby, a promising left hander from Goderich. The Colts are starting their game early this Friday night, because they aren't sure they'll have any lights, as a short in an underground wire under the grand- stand has left the park lights powerless. The Colts next home game is on Sunday May 20th, when they host the Thorndale Angels.
