Flooded streams, warm rains, sap running in
the trees and maple syrup production are all
indications that spring has arrived, but to some
people it means a lot more. These signs usually
mean that in a few short weeks the smelt will be
running, and trout season follows close behind.
Seine and dip nets are dug, out of the basement
along with the chest waders, and everything is
made ready to.be.off at short notice.- For me,_that
run of silvery fish is the real indication that
summer is on its way.
Another nice thing about a warm spring day -is
that it's the perfect time to.go for a walk. After a
long winter, it's a great tonic to just get out and
stretch your legs. A walk down your favorite
trout stream will let you examine it for any ice
damage and prepare you for fishing when' the
time comes. It's also agreat time to throw a few
logs in to create a jam and provide more cover
for the trout.
If you're not a fisherman, take a stroll in a
hardwood bush on that soft carpet of leaves.
You'll proba1 1yY fiot'tce that squirrels are extra
active as the search for that perfect spot to bear
their young goes on..A few squirrel nesting boxes
set up in trees will help them immeasurably, and
leave you 'with the feeling that something wor-
thwhile has been done. If you are interested, the
Ministry of Natural Resources will supply you
with plans to'construct these nesting sites out of
old tires, or scrap lumber.
Wherever you go for your walk, be sure to take
along a basket or haversack, a small garden
trowel and a guide to edible wild greens. New
green shoots are popping up all over the place
and it only takes a few minutes to gather a feed
for the family. It might be wild onions or leeks in
the hardwood,. tender cattail shoots along the
edge of the swamp or a plateful of water cress -
gathered from your trout stream, but whatever
itis, you'll be sure to enjoy it.
Fiddleheads are also a one time spring deal,-
and now is the time to start watching for their
appearance. There have been warnings issued
about cancer causing agents contained in these
greens, but they have been directed more
towards oriental cultures where consumption is
high. At one point I had decided to give them up
completely, but I still find myself craving that
one feed each spring.
Even if you aren't a fisherperson, hunter, wild
food gatherer or promoter, of wildlife-, the im-
portant thing is to get out and take that walk
anyway. Who knows, maybe you'll just enjoy it
enough. to make the effort to do it again, and
again, and again. Each time out you'll discover, a
little more and before long, you might even find
yourself using the words naturalist and con-
servationist to describe your outdoor activities.
That's when you'll know you are hooked on the
greatest part of this life -- good old down to earth
�n-ature.

Sailors chances as OHA champs sin
BY CATH WOODEN
The Goderich Sailors
bit the -dust- Friday night
and were eliminated
from the OHA Inter-
mediate C semi-finals by
the Dresden Lum-
berkings •in four games
straight.
Dresden outplayed
,.Goderich . in the
progressively rowdy
fourth game and won by a
score of 7-4.
Sailor captain Wayne
Rau opened the game's
scoring four minutes into
the game by dumping an
unassisted power - play
goal past Dresden riet-
minder Barry Mills while
Bill Latimer was off for
an elbowing offence.
Four minutes later,
Dresden replied with
their first goal from Doug
Easter and Rick Chin -
nick. Dresden then went
ahead in the first period
on a goal from Dave
Houston while Sailor Ken
Meriam was in the box
for a roughing penalty.
The Sailors evened up
the score to 2-2 at the 3:06
mark of the second period
after Dan Colquhoun
fired a shot past Mills.
Ron Sowerby_assisted on
the play.
The Lumberkings
quickly surged ahead
with four unanswered
goals in the same period.
Ten seconds after
Colquhoun's goal, George
Clanton Hydro lose cup
The Clinton team lost
their opener in the round-
robin tourney to
Chatham, the' eventual
tourney winner, but won
the next three games to
capture the consolation
crown.
Clinton, which. has
hosted the the tour-
nament for the last two
years, loses that
responsibility,. to
Chatham next year.

The Clinton area centre
of Ontario , Hydro lost
their hockey supremacy
crown last weekend when
they .lost the South-
western Ontario District
hockey title in Lucan.
The .Clinton team,
which had won the crown
for the last two years,
salvaged some of their
pride however, and came
home with the con-
solation title.

Sherman beat out Sailor
goalie, Bob Hnatyk, with
a shot assisted by Reg
Howard and Fred Martin.
While Colquhoun- was,
off for hooking, Dresden
went farther ahead on a
goal by Doug Easter,
assisted by Rick Chinnick
and Al Pray: A minute
later, the winning goal for
Dresden was netted by
Chinnick. The assists
went to Howard and
Martin.
A minute• after that,
Martin got another one
for Dresden with Wayne
Cowell assisting.
With two minutes left in
the' second period,
Goderich's Ken Meriam
and Paul Kelly managed
to sneak a third goal past
Mills, leaving the.score 6-
3 for Dresden at the end
of the second period.
Each team took time
out fro'rn a penalty -ridden
third period to score one
goal. Dresden'scame
first at 13:55 from Doug
De Line and Goderich
ended the scoring at 18:35
with a goal by Ken Daer,
assisted by Jim Farrish
and Paul Rau.
Throughout the third
period, the crowd singled
out Dresden',s Wayne
Cowell as a target for
abuse. When he was
given a misconduct
halfway through the
period, several of the
Goderich spectators
made a lunge for ,him as
he =made his way to- the
dressing room.
The Lumberkings now
go on to play in the OHA
Intermediate C finals.
The Sailors fell behind
by three games dropping
a 9-1 decision to the
Lumber Kings in Dresden
last Wednesday.
