The Huron Expositor, 1982-09-08, Page 117 - Cold weather golf is different BY CAROLANNE DOOG There sure is a fall breeze - blowing these days and it's a sure sign that summer is pulling to a close. However, as long as you dress for the weather you still can get plenty of golf in during September and October. Along with adapting to cond- itons weather-wise regarding apparel, you still have to change your game a bit as conditions will be much dif- ferent on cold days in the fall, For one thing the cooler weather will mean that the ball will not go as far as it does in the het weather of summer. The ground is generally sof- ter due to more rain in the fall so you won't get as much roll either. With less air time and less roll it's easy to see that you are going to have to use a longer club to go the same distance. Many golfers will choose balls of lower com- pression in the cold weather as they will be easier to hit than the higher compressed balls. Others will take•'the balls and keep them in their pockets so that they will he warned up prior to being hit. For the golfer who really wants to extend the season into the cooler weather. you only have to dress warmly and make a few adjustments to your game to enjoy golf to its fullest.

BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE The Ministry' of Natural Resources isn't taking a strong enough stand on the loss of habitat in the Wing - ham district according to members of the public, Such comments were re- ceived at three open houses where the ministry explained its draft strategy for the next 20 years. The open houses were held in Wingham on Aug. 20, Stratford on Aug. 24 and Goderich on Aug. 26. Objections were raised from a few private camp- ground owners complaining of competition from the pro- vincial parks system. They maintained it Ls unfair that their provincial tax dollars go toward their competition. Concerns were also noted from commercial and sports fishermen. Each side main- tains the other is taking too many fish from the waters in the district. Thc ministry used the open houses as a tool to inform the public of the draft strategy. In the works for several years. a background report was dis- tributed to interested parties in the spring of 1980. The present draft strategy. taking into consideration thc public comments, will possibly he finalized by the end of the year. There were 31 people to attendance at Wingham. 1 - in Stratford and .14 in God• erieh. Wingham district en- compasses both Perth and Huron counties. the town- ships of Huron. Kinloss. Culross, and Carrick in Bruce County and Minto Township in Wellington County. The draft strategy covers program policies and strata• gies in the areas of forest resources, mineral aggregate resources. non•aggregate mineral and fossil fuel re• sources, and fisheries, wild 'life, provincial parks. general recreation and land admini• stration. in this district unlike the districts in the northern part of the province. only 1.3 per f9 -cent of the land is publicly owned. Therefore. the mini• stry must work closely with municipalities. conservation authorities and private land- owners to reach the pals of the 20 -year strategy. FOREST RESOURCES The proposed target Inc the Wingham district is 4.1 mil- lion cubic feet of saleable wood per year by the year 202(1. Ministry data shows the current actual on saleable wood to be about 3.36 million cubic feet. This data also indicates a potential of '.10 million cubic feet of sellable wood per year. To achie•vc• the goal and maintain the acres of wood• land. the ministry will en• courage increased planting and woodlot management. Marvin Smith, a forest tech- nician with the ministry. said private landowners will he encouraged to plant trees on idle, unworkable' farmland and manage ssoodlots. Muni• ' cipalities through count hy• laws will be encouraged to strengthen and enforce these tinder the Trees Act. Huron County owns 1,400 acres of forest land which the ministry manages for it. Also in Huron, the Ausahie-Bay• field Conservation Authority has 2.500 acres of forest land in agreement with the minis- try. Perth C'nunt% has no forest land of its own. hut within its -boundaries. the Upper Thames ('onset% ation Authnrits has about 3,0(10 acres of forest land upder agreement with the minmstr, Mr. 'smith said about 100,000 acres in the Wntg• ham drtntt could he rcfor este(' without interfering with trop lands. At 1.001) acres a scar. it would take 100 rears to complete the reforesting. There arc numertsws bent.. fns in planting trees, Mr 'south said in the long term, a crop of trees has a hotter financial return that a current crop of corn The 'ants proh• lent is waiting around for 80 or so scan until the crop is mature enough to harvest. Other benefits include dec• creased sod erosion and in• Creaked (rete% s,lytogs his sheltering f,irnm buildings from the hot stun. winds and 'now 1•ath scar the mmmstrs plants trees for farmers on plots of land file acres or more Mr Smith said then are alrcads booked up for the plantine season nett tear AGGREGATE: w'nh a goal of producing 148 million tons of aggregates (sand, grasel and stone) from 1982 to the tear 2000. the mmistrs is now working on curse% s in the district the ministrs is working on encouraging eompanics pro• during aggregates to return the used land to its original state. Thcrc is no specific goal in the arca of non.aggrcgates and fossil fuel r(•sources The district's draft policy is to encourage the most exphsitat ion of mineral and fossil fuel resources while mrnimi'ing disruptions to the enteron ment.

FISHERIES Divided into thPee catego- ries, the goals for the Wing- ham,i district arc 65,000 pounds of fish per year for sports fisheries, -880,000 pounds of fi* per year for commercial fisheries on Lake Huron and 81,400 dozen bait fish per year from natural sources for bait fisheries on inland waters. The goals for sports and commercial fisheries have been changed from the ori- ginal assigned goal for the district, Sports fisheries nunihers were reduced be• cause stream quality in the district is of poor quality. most streams are not access• iblc to the public and access to Lake Huron is limited and subject to its weather Condit• ions. The goal for commercial fisheries has been increased from 464.000 pounds per year Data shows an annual aver- age yield of 835,000 pounds. The ministry will monitor the situation to ensure that har• vests of such species as chub and whitefish stay within allowable limits. Also it will encourage increased harvest• ing of such species as sucker, shad, smelt, alewife and drum.
