Clinton News-Record, 1987-07-15, Page 18Although these children were at the Clinton pool on July 13 to take their yellow badge swimming lessons, it is doubtful that they mind- ed jumping into the pool after suffering through the heat wave ex- perienced in this area over the past week. Putting the children through their paces was instructor Heidi Israels. (David Emslie photo 1 Canadian champion to race in Goderich GODERICH - Ruby Skye, trained by Bob Walker, started this, her freshman cam- paign, with a win in track record time in an Ontario Sire Stakes (OSS 1 at Barrie. Last week in an OSS at Flamboro she lowered the national seasons record to 2:30.3 in convincing fashion and appears at this point to be at the top of her class. Ruby Syke heads a total of 20 two-year-old filly trotters entered here for an Ontario Sires Stakes event going for a total purse of $30,822. Post time is set for 7:30 p.rn. on July 16. The entrants have been split into three divisions and Ruby Skye has drawn the dif- ficult outside seven post position in her race. Providing the competition in this division will be Ruby Skyes entry mate N V Cutey. This filly. a half-sister to the top OSS three- year-old trotting colt N V Worthy, has been second in both of her OSS starts thus far. There are three other fillies in this division that are also capable of providing some heat. J C Glory was third in her OSS division at Flamboro after cutting out most of the mile and with her rail post position there is no doubt where she'll be heading. Finishing third to Ruby Skye in her na- tional seasons record performance was Jan- tilly Emmy.. She was individually timed in 2:06.4, faster than most of these have ever trotted and has post four. The first division, which goes as race two, teatures another of the Flamboro OSS divi- sion winners, Knot a Dream. Train by Bill Wellwood, she marched into the winners cir- cle off only one schooling race victory. At this juncture its not really that clear who the good fillies are, but based on their perfor- mance so far, look for Quinte Anna and Skye Lass to place well in this test. The middle division is certainly the most wide open contest. In it are the fillies Cosmic Bomb, winner of a Trillium Stake at Flamboro and second in the Falmboro OSS the following week and All In The Air, se- cond to Ruby Skye in the OSS at Flamboro individually clocked in 2:05.1. There are two other nice fillies in here that could also win. These are Cosmic Spark, from the rail post position and Music On The Road. Thursday night, July 16, will be an ex- cellent opportunity to see some of the coun- trys best filly trotters, including, possibly its best. Interest high in Molson fishing contest Angler interest in this year's Molson Ex- port Big Fish Contest is unprecedented in the 29 -year history of the competition, say contest officials. Lance Males, Contest Administrator, at- tributes the frenzy for entry forms to the ad- dition of the new Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters' l ()FAH i Grand Prize Draw. "We've put together a fisherman's dream draw package worth more than $34,000, and demand for entry forms has exceeded our projections," said Males. Included in the draw package are a Dodge Dakota pickup truck, a 15' Stryker bass boat and trailer, and a 70 h.p. Evinrude outboard motor. Each Ontario resident (19 and over entering the contest has one chance to win the OFAH Grand Prize Draw. Though just three months into the seven- month contest. one million entry forms have been distributed to eager sportsmen, Px- hausting the first printing. A second prin- ting is underway. Operated by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, the Molson Export Big Fish Contest rewards skillful anglers in 20 classes of competition. Three hundred of the best receive a Berkley rod and reel com- bination, while 60 are presented with cash prizes, and 20 take home an Evinrude elec- tric fishing motor. Value of these prizes ex- ceeds $45,000. At contest's end, one special angler will be awarded the prestigious title of Ontario Angler of the year, and the 9.9 h.p. Evinrude outboard motor that goes with it. The 1987 contest opened on April 15, and runs to November 30. All legally licenced anglers fishing in Ontario waters are invited to enter either of the two categories of com- petition -- Catch and Keep or live release. Ten species of fish are eligible: Largemouth Bass. Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Muskellunge, Walleye, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Speckled Trout, Rainbow Trout and Salmon. Each entry must include the length and girth of the fish. Catch and Keep entrants must also state the weight of their fish as determined on a government -inspected scale. The signatures of witnesses to these measurings are required, as is a photograph of the fish. Live Release fish are judged on their length and girth, while Catch and Keep en- tries are ranked according to their weight. The results of 1987 competition will be an- nounced on January 15, 1988. Entry forms for the Molson Export Big Fish Contest are available from Molson sales represen- tatives, Chrysler dealers, Evinrude dealers, lodges and resorts, bait and tackle shops, and directly from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, P.O. Box 28, Peter- borough, Ontario, K9J 6Y5. Big Fish Contest winners lose prizes In an unprecedented move. the ad- ministrators of the Molson Export Big Fish Contest haN e plucked the prizes from two of the top 1986 entries. Lance Males, who is in charge of the con- test for the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) explained, "Even before the contest judging. we were suspicious of both the first and second place fish in our live release musky category. Un- fortunately, until this week we couldn't ac- tually prove anything...but we finally did." Minnesota resident Robert Skuza original- ly to have caught a muskellunge in :Rainy Lake that measured 49-3/4" (126.365 Cm.) in length. His entry form stated the fish had a 30-3/4" (78.105 cm. ) girth. His father, Ellard Skuza, entered a fish Supposed to have a 48-3/4" (123.825 cm.) length and a 30" (76.2 cm.) girth. Photos submitted with both entries did not seem to collaborate the huge size claimed for the two fish, but no proof to the contrary could be produced, despite an intense investiga- tion by OFAH staff. Failing any hard evidence when they met in mid-December, the Federation's Big Fish Contest judges and officials felt they had no choice but to award first and second places to the two Skuza fish. Federation staff con- tinued to investigate their suspicions, and *ere pleased to receive assistance from knowledgeable musky anglers in both the United States and Canada. Finally, during another telephone call from Mr. Males, Robert Skuza admitted both he and his father must have made Mistakes; their fish were not as large as claimed on their entry forms. Mr. Skuza agreed to return the Berkley rods and reels, and -cash prizes he and his father had been wa`rded. The first place of an Evinrude f6t t s fc fishing motor had not yet been delivered. First place Will now be awarded to Robert Hruska of Mississauga, while second will go to Paul Curran of Toronto, and third to Roger Halverson, of Fergus Falls, Min- nesota. Their trophy fish were caught and released in the Trent River, Georgian Bay, and Lake of the Woods, respectively. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, which has operated the "Molson Export" Big Fish Contest for 28 years, is Ontario's largest provincial conservation organization. Coaching debut successful The Oesch Woodworking Squirt Boys soft- ball team recently beat Belgrave 12 to 9, making the coaching debut of John Gibbings and Bill Falconer a successful one. Jeff Oesch was the winning pitcher, com- ing in relief to pitch three innings of shutout ball. He allowed only one hit while striking out three batters. Clinton got off to a fast start scoring six runs in the top of the first inning on four hits and two walks. This was capped off with a three run homer by Mark Falconer. Trailing 9-6 in the fifth inning Clinton again scored six times to take the lead. Top batters for Clinton with three hits apiece were Chris Dixon, Mark Falconer and Lee Gibbings. The victory moved Clinton ahead of Walton in the Tri County standings. Legislation in TORONTO — The government is working with community sports and fitness groups to develop safety legislation, Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation John Eakins an- nounced in the legislature. Progress is being made to develop a com- prehensive long-term set of amateur sport and. fitness safety initiatives, Eakins said. However, a necessary element in the development of any such legislation is the final report of the Ontario Sports Medicine Safety Advisory Board. The board members have been examining sports safety issues for two years, and they required an exten- sion of their deadline in order to complete their study and recommendations. "We are dealing with a growing and com- plex set of problems which necessitates thorough consultation with the public and those groups that are most involved in the works amateur sport and fitness," Eakins said, '1 am now awaiting the final report of the Sports Medicine Safety Advisory Board before introducing the balance of the corn- prehensive sports safety strategy. I hope to have their report in hand within the next few weeks." The consultation process has been taking place since January when measures that would result in a safe environment for amateur sport and fitness were first announced. "My Ministry will use the upcoming surrr- mer months to refine further options with the public and groups most involved," Eakins said. "When all the data is collected, we will bring forward legislation that will promote an environment free of violence and injuries.
