Allyson Scott of Seaforth gave this shot some serious concentration in a game played last
week at the Bluewater Golf Course in Bayfield. The concentration paid off as she sank
the putt. For a humorous look at some of the slang language used in the game of golf see
this week's On the Greens column written by Carolanne Doig. (Rod Hilts photo)
Naturally Spetaking
By Steve Cooke
Fishermen beware
Trout season officially opens this
weekend, and a lot of people will be out for
the first timethis year. I would, therefore,
like to give you a word or two of caution t If
you are planning to enter private property
to fish, make sure you have permission first.
• A regional' inagaiine has just published a
story about a local creek and plays up the
quality and quantity of the Brook Trout
fishing found in it. Unfottunately, some of
the maps which accompany the article are
incorrect, and do not properly show the cor-
rect amount of private land which lies along
the creek. Needless to say, the 'owners of
that land are very upset.
A cold water creek is a fragile environ-
ment, and overzealous usage can quickly
ruin the fishing kir generations. Brook trout
are very slow growing fish compared to
rnost species and have to fight hard to main-
tain their habitat space in small bodies of
water. If the adults are removed, other
species of coarse fish flourish and make it
.very difficult for the brookies to regain a
toehold.
Landowners are afraid that the extra ex-
posure this magazine article has given the
creek will result in a high incidence of
trespassing by , itinerant fishermen.. They
know from experience that apart from the
excess pressure the stream will receive
from fishing ( which it can't stand), they will
also have to put up with acts of vandalism,'

littering, and theft. The landowners I've
talked to along the stream all agree that
even ,though they don't want to, they will
charge anyone trespassing on their land
under the relatively new act with its $1,000
fine. It's the only way they know that they
can keep people out. Warnings, they feel,
will just tempt people to "try their luck"
and see if they get caught, so there will be no
"second chances". Like 1 said - make sure
you have permission first -it could be expen-
sive.
Smelt are starting to run! ! While I haven't
been out as yet, I have heard several reports
that they've started. A warm rain should br-
ing them in, and it looks like it's shaping up
to be a fast but furious run.
Just a rerninder that a licence is needed
for a seine net, if you intend to use one. The
net itself cannot be deeper than six feet or
longer than 30 feet. Dip nets, however, need
no licence but cannot exceed six feet in
diameter (if circular) Or six feet square (if
rectangular). All incidental catches, such as
sockets, salmon, and trout, are illegal when
taken by net and must be returned to the
water. The attitude toward people who are
caught with these "incidentals' has chang-
ed dramatically, and it is no longer regard-
ed as an honest mistake, but rather a very
serious poaching offence. Forewarned is
forearmed.
Senior R edmen tie St. Marys
By Rod Hilts
ST." MARYS - The Central Huron
Secondary School ( CHS$ ) senior soccer
team kept its undefeated record in tact on
April 18 as they battled St. Marys to a 1-1
draw.
The Redmen's record now stands at one
win and one tie.
St. Marys came close to capturing the
game in the second half but had two goals
disallowed because of interference with
CHSS goaltender Mike Segren, who starred
in the game.
The teams fought to a scoreless tie in the
first half but St. Marys carne out flying in
the final half and scored during the first five
minutes. The goal was scored on a high shot
that beat Segren to the left-hand side.
CHSS evened the score near the end of the
game as Mike Cantelon scored on a penalty
kick. The goal, Cantelon's second in two
games, was scored as he drilled a low shot to

According to CHSS Manager Kent
• Colquhoun, the St. Marys team held the play
and if it wasn't for the play of goalie Mike
Segren, the Redmen would have lost.
Colquhoun also said the officiating was
questionable. He was especially critical of a
play where St. Marys had moved the ball
with their hands in front of the officials and
the CHSS bench. The referee made no call
on the play.
Both the Junior and Senior teams travel to

Die-hard golfers live for "the great birdie hunt"
By Carolanne Doig
"Spring has sprung, the grass has ris, I
wonder where the birdies is?" We have
heard it said a million times but when a
golfer recites this expression, you can be
quite sure that he doesn't give a hdot about
where good ol' robin redbreast is. Nope! The
birdies of major concern to golfers are pure-
ly numerical. (A birdie being one under par
on a hole). These birdies are ahnost as el-
usive as the rare Mute Swan, especially
since golfers tend to be very vocal in their
quest for birdies.
The die-hard golfer will pursue birdies
with all the enthusiasm of the most loyal of
Audobon's followers. When you think of it
even the golfers' attire is in many ways
similar to the duds worn by' membeis of a
bird -watching society.. Remember Miss
Hathaway on the Beverly Hillbillies? Clad
in Bermuda style shorts, knee socks, and
wearing a sun hat, she would clamber
through fields, clutching binoculars in
search of various species of birds. Now see
the golfer clad similarly although usually in
brighter colors, trudging through what ap-
pears to outsiders as a field, carrying every
piece of equipment that could possibly put a
birdie within his grasp.
The "great birdie hunt" has begun again
in earnest, lasting in these parts for several
months from April until October. Although

the numerical birdies prove to be a rare
species on the golf course, many of the
players have begun to take on the
resemblance of their prey. While out on the
course many of us have come upon two legg-
ed birdies of varying plumage. I'm sure
you'll recognize these more common
species during your golf game by following
my "golfer's birdie watching guide":
The Designer Labelled Peacock - easily
recognized by his color coordinated, bright-
ly accessorized golf wear. More commonly
seen around the clubhouse than out on the
course. Plumage varies, but there is usually
one of notably bright colors. ."
Common Crow - As the name suggests this
golfing birdie -is often heard long before he is
seen. They are especially notable after a
particularly good game.
Not -So -Wild Turkey - There is at least one
of this species at every club. Though dif-
ficult to identify by plumage, once you're
close enough, you will recognize him readi-
ly. This bird is always in the wrong place
(no matter where) at the wrong time (no
matter when). Unfortunately not
migratory.
Red-faced Thrasher - Easily identified by
his flushed features and erratic actions of
club flailing. Usually spotted in deep rough
but has been sighted in bushes and even
sand traps. Sometimes dangerous.
Empty -Pocketed Pigeon - common bird
on any golf course. This bird can be of vary-
ing plumage. He is far more confident with
his game than he should be and he is often
seen in the clubhouse, buying the "pops".
Pigeon Hawk - Seen mostly in the same
vicinity of the empty pocketed pigeon. The
pigeon hawk has an unusually high han-
dicap which is in no way indicative of his
skill. Often seen consuming the "pops",
courtesy of his prey.
Green -faced Grossbeak - this name can be
translated to mean envious nosy parker.
Hangs around scoreboard and handicap
rack checking out the scores and handicaps
of other local birds. Curiosity about scores is
main characteristic.
Graduated Duck - Common name Quack.
Most often seen on Wednesday afternoons at
wealthy clubs, golfing for "medicinal pur-
poses". Tends to associate more with its
own species.
Fairway Roadrunner - Fastest golfer on
the course, has been known to lap the rest of
the field. Usually plays alone because other
birds cannot keep up. Never fun to be in
front of but then you're never in front of him
for long.
Mockingbird - Difficult to identify by his
swing because the mockingbird never sw-
ings the same way twice. Always looking for
the answer to the perfect swing the mock-
ingbird will imitate anyone who has ever
scored lower than he.
Solitary Sandpiper - Always found in sand
traps no matter where they are located. Has
been known to turn into the Purple Sand-
piper in front of fellow golfers very eyes.
Distant relative of the Shoveler.
Wandering Tattler - Recognized by his
distinct warble, this bird revels in telling of
his fellow golfers errors, errant shots, and
statistics. Never fun to golf with, but
popular in the club house.
Arctic Loon(y) - Common in northerly
climates golfing early in spring. Close
relative of the Common Loon(y) seen in
large flocks on golf courses in better
weather.
Greater Fairway Chicken - No fun to golf
with, this golfer will never take a chance.
Always down the middle, he lays up on the
water holes and plays for the centre of the
green no matter where the pin is. Steady Ed-
.dy is common name. Very even tempered.
There are many more "birdies"on the
golf courses all over the world. The birdies
on the score card are held in greater
reverence but the two -legged type are far
easier to find. If you think the Dodo Bird is
dead just come out to your local ProShop!
