Minor Midgets take conso/s The Richmond Hill Minor Midgets bounced back from an opening game loss to win the consolation championship at the Fort Erie Invitational hockey tournament on the weekend. 3-2 -â€" THE LIBERAL, Wednesday. April 18. 1979 Ridges champs Now I see that some very well-meaning clubs and individuals are asking for donations of any old and extra tackle you may have around. Such tackle will in turn be given to a young boy or girl to set him or her on the right track. By ALEX EBERSPAECHER Some peeple call it the International Year of the Child. I had a name for it long ago. I called it Take a Kid Fishing. Each year i ”“wrote a column suggesting how to start a youngster in the sport of fishing. This is a good idea basically but please. no used or old tackle. If you would like to get a sprout going. get him some good, solid. and easy to use outfits. Take a kid fishing There is no way that he will be interested in your sport if he must use a reel that is too large for him to Richmond Hill‘s Blue OFF ALL MARKED PRICES FISHING REELS, RODS, LURES ACCESSORIES, MANY OTHER ITEMS POOL CHEMICALS SOLAR BLANKET S, POOL ACCESSORIES POOL N, PATIO SHOPPE , â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" v.

There is no PRETENDING in fishing. N0 BOATS Never start a tyke off fishing from a boat. Kids can’t sit still for any length of time and if you are like I am, you get very impatient with anyone/who even moves his feetwhile fishing from a boat. A newcomer must use his own time, put down the rod when he gets tired. walk around and come back to fishing when he pleases. Remember this as your first and foremost rule. Let them fish when they feel like it Don‘t force them but be ready to assist and give helpful hints when they ask. The mond Hill taking a 2-0 lead on a goal by JP.

I started my son when he was two and one half years old. I gave him his own casting rod, without a reel of course. two feet of line tied to the tip of the rod. a small float and a short leader. At first he was more interested in the worm than in fishing. but that changed once he found that all he had to do was hang the worm in the water and pull the small fish out. Garden centres sell slim and light bamboo poles of different lengths. This would be the perfect project for a rainy day, helping the young one build his own. GOOD EQUIPMENT For the older ones, buy only good equipment. It's best to start him off with a baitcasting outfit as second period Richmond Hill moved back in front at 12:37 of the third on a James Gwillam counter from Cash and Doug McLean. EMPTY NET Woodstock then knocked in two more goal§ late in the period usually their hands are too small to handle a spinning reel com- fortably. Whatever} your choice. don't buy the cheapest one you Can get. The drag. the most important item on a reel. must be smooth and easy to adjust. Use six or eight pound test line as it is easier to handle than the heavier line. Hollow, glass rods are lighter than the solid ones but are not as strong-Solid rods are usually cheaper as well. The beginner should be started with live bait rather than sophisticated lures and plugs. Live bait catches more fish and it is the action, not the size, that counts If he has to fish all day for a six pound pike, he soon gets bored. but if he gets some fast Your family is a very special part of your life. The family is our single most important social institution. which is why your Ontario Government is continuing to take an active interest in supporting and strengthening family life in the V“ [y province. During 1979. the A 1" International Year of the Child. your Ontario Government reminds you that the future of our province depends on our children; the future of our children depends on the strength of our families. and then got the final one period and 4-1 going into on an empty net as Peter the third, Del Grosso was at- Farrell was the big gun tempting to leave it for a in this one with three sixth attacker. goals. Singles went to Richmond Hill came out flying against Niagara Falls leading 2â€"0 at the end of the first action catching small bass or perch. he won‘t have time to do so, If he refuses to handle worms at first‘ don‘t force him: help him and he will come around. Better yet. try minnows as they are morepopular with most kids. Don‘t get angry if he is reluctant. I know full- grown, so-called anglers who won't handle leeches! A small bobber is a must as kids like to see the action of the nibbling fish. and this is the only way for him to learn when to set the hook. Finally. help him unhook the fish. Show him how to handle it and put it back into the water, Most of all. teach him to have respect for the fish and for all of nature.‘After all. he is a big part of it! Farrell was the big gun in this one with three goals. Singles went to Doug McLean, Andrew Don. Dave Banton, Warren Nye and Dave Carmichaél who also assisted on three other goals Assists 'also went to Banton. Rob McKenzie. Pat Lawlor, two. Rob Cashin and Mike Hagenauer. The first period was scoreless in the final game against Bay Ridges with the latter team moving into a 2-1 lead at the end of the second. Richmond Hill‘s only goal in that period was by Andrew Don from David Banton and Lawlor. Things started to happen in the third period as Richmond Hill's That‘got Richmond Hill going and 25 seconds later it was Lawlor scoring his second goal from Banton. A slight pause for another Bay Ridges goal and then it was Lawlor getting his hat-trick and putting Carmichael tied the game from Rob Cashin. Bay Ridges moved in front but Lawlor was right back with the equalizer from Don and Banton. RICHVALE MINOR BASEBALL ASSOC.
