Flyers loss first game
byAce
On Sundy, May 20, the
Clinton Soccer Club was
handed its rirst defeat, 3-0
by the Stratford Juventus
squad. The loss leaves the
Flemings' Flyers with a
record of one win, one
loss and a tie.
The Stratford ,squad
placed pressure on the
Clinton team right from
the opening whistle. Most
'naturally
peaking
of the play during the
first half was confined to
the Clinton end of the
field. However, the
Clinton defence, led by
Dean Ryan, Brian Millar
and Peter Wise, were
able to choke off the
Stratford attack and the
teams left the field at
halftime deadlocked in a
scoreless tie.

The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
appears to have launched an intensive moose
management program that will hopefully
strengthen and increase the moose herd in
Ontario. I feel that it's about time something is
done. Ontario has a viable moose population of
approximately 70,000 animals providing an
annual harvest of 15 to 18 thousand. These
figures may sound like a lot of animals to the
average person, but when compared'to a small
country like Finland, we should be ashamed of
ourselves. Finland, through intensive
management techniques, maintains a moose
population in the neighbourhood of 400,000
animals with an annual harvest of some 70,000.
Now that's proper wildlife management.
Last fall, despite protests from preser-
vationists, the Ministry held a controlled hunt in
an overpopulated moose herd in the Ottawa
district. The hunt was a big success. The hunter
success ratio was excellent and the herd, thinned
down to its proper level for the carrying capacity'
of the area, came through the winter in fine
shape and is reported to be in excellent con-
dition.
This, unfortunately, was not the case in a
similar area of the same district which also had
a rapidly expanding moose herd. Because of
public outcry, no hunt was allowed and the herd
has suffered dramatically as a result. A Targe
portion of this herd has died off during the winter
as a result of starvation and the animals that did
make it through the winter are in a weakened
condition. The successful calving rate is •ex-
pected to be low this year because of their poor
condition and it will probably be several years
before the herd regains a healthy level of
population again.
Another controlled hunt will be held this year
in. thti Kapuskasing district. The area, known as
Unit 23, will be limited to 950 resident hunters
and. 50 non-resident hunters. These hunters will
be selected by means of a draw held on June 20 in
the
Kapuskasing u
'
as�ng district office. Lf yoi�, wish to
hunt in, .this.. ;area
your application riiast be
received -in- the Kapuskasing office by June 15.
The season is scheduled to run from October 15 to
November 15.
Hunters participating in this program will be
required to produce for inspection either the
lower jaw of any moose taken, or the entire head
(if it is a trophy animal) at the Kapuskasing or
Hearst offices. Ministry staff Will collect data on
age, sex, location, date of kill and condition of the
animal. "This type of information is essential in
improving the management of moose
populations," Natural Resource Minister, James
A. C. Auld, announced. He reported that the
Ministry, in this experiment, is evaluating ways
to provide more predictable ways of controlling
the harvest. It is felt that the "application and
draw method" is the fairest way to control the
number of hunters in any one area. The only
exceptions to the rule this year will be "special
considerations to hunters who have already
booked with bona fide tourist outfitters." If you
need more information, contact Steve Toole at
the Kapuskasing office (705)-362-4346.
Let's hope everyone cooperates in this scheme.
If the Finns can manage their moose herds so
well, so can we, but research data is badly_
needed. No hunting at all is not the answer, but
neither is uncontrolled hunting. Both methods
have been shown to fail consistently, but
somewhere in between, there is just the right.
balance. With luck and hard work, we may be
able to achieve that balance in the near future,
and Ontario will once again have expanding
moose herds bolstered and maintained by sound
management techniques.
Top riders at
Hully Gully
Sunday at Hully Gully,
the Victoria Day
Weekend Extravaganza
continued with the
Seniors and Experts
competing. Featuring top
Canadian riders and a
few from Mch4gan, the
day was exciting, with
special intermission
entertainment by Jeff
Toner of the Trans-
Canada Hell Drivers, and
the Grand Valley Ski -
Divers. Both put on an
exciting show and thrilled
the whole crowd.
The outstanding rider
of the day was Allan
Logue of Hamilton, riding
a Yamaha, who came
first and second in two
classes. Logue, after
crashing battled
tremendous odds to come
out ahead. Some of the
other top riders of the day
included Warne Ryerson
of Clinton, who was tops
in the expert 250 class.
The next event at Hully
Gully is on June 10, which
is the third round of the
Di-Jer Spring Motocross
Series.
the start of the second
half a Stratford forward
slipped between two
Clinton defenders and
drilled a hard shot to the
upper right corner of the
Clinton goal.
Approximately 15
minutes later, Stratford
once again connected for
a goal as a Juventus
forward managed to gain
control of a long pass and
placed his shot in the
right-hand side of the net.
Stratford's final goal
came from a goal mouth
scramble, which was the
end re§ult of a corner
kick.
Throughout the game,
the Clinton attack was
unable to get rolling and
the precise passing from
the previous games was
missing. Strong per-
formances were turned in
by Brian Kennedy Alex
Harrett and Tony Gib-
bings.
The next ame for the
Flyers is this Saturday
