: Citizen sports beat Wednesday, June 1st,1977 Thanks to volunteers re like to congratulate all the adults who volunteered their services to help operate Minor Softball this year. We still do not have an executive, but I guess we can suffer through until the end of the year. Other good news is also present in the area of Bantam girls all stars where coaches and a manager have been found. My thanks to Ray Brooks, Art Desjardins and Anne Murphy for getting this team off the ground. ~* Recreation scene by Ron Marchildon Penetanguishene Recreation Coordinator My thanks also to the Penetanguishene Police Association for their financial support for our minor softball program. Anyone else who would like to help out financially would be most welcome. Our house league has increased steadily in numbers and now encompasses 14 teams and about 160 children. Registration forms are available at the Municipal Offices for both the swimming program and for the Day Camp program. Your continued support of these two programs is encouraged, in order to ensure their continuation in future years. Both programs are well organized and your children will certainly benefit from them. I must congratulate the Ladies Auxiliary fo the Penetanguishene LNHL for their fabulous banquet. My congratulations also to the trophy winners, coaches and all players who took part in the hockey program.

Staff photo \ Muskie season opens soon by Bryan Berriault Maskinonge or muskie as we prefer to call them will soon be falling prey to a few of our successful anglers. The season will open on June 4th for inland waters in Huronia District. Now before you go jumping into your boats and heading for your favourite spot in-Georgian Bay remember this is not classed as inland waters and has an opening on June 18th. Fin, Fur & Feather Favourite lures among the muskie fishermen are Swim Whizz, Pikie Minnow, large flatfish, Rapalas and even the monster jitterbugs, which play havoc with the king of the fresh water fish on the surface. Speed is a key to success. The muskie prefers his bait moving from five to seven mile per hour. He strikes hard and fast, usually stopping any lure dead in its tracks much the same as snagging onto a large tree. I can remember setting the hook while out muskie fishing and snapping my rod in two pieces and getting nothing more than a large toothfor my troubles. Keep your hands away from their mouths as the muskie has a mouthful of teeth and is not particular when he is in the boat as to what he is biting on to. Speaking of opening days, Huronia District will have a bow hunting season for dear this year. However Matchedash will not have a hunting season for deer. The season will run from Oct. 24-Dec. 10, no dogs allowed. Most other seasons in the southern part of the province have been shortened and are opening on the seventh of November. Seasons vary from three to five days. For Ross Willet and those of you who hunt the Parry Sound area, the season opens on November 7th beginner in tennis. Since you can't play alone, you're bound to have an audience of at least one. The hitless swings and wild connections are humbling, to say the least. The way to overcome this is to attend a tennis clinic like the one held at the Midland tennis club last weekend. Beginners have lots of company there, and there's no competitive stress. You don't even have to bring your own tennis balls. The instructors bring them in by the carton. All you need is two dollars for a two hour aes session and a will to learn. Saturday's clinic was run by Jeff Atwood, Dave Ogilvie and Bill Hartman. About two dozen par- ticipants showed up and were divided into three groups -- _ beginning youngsters, beginning adults and intermediate adults. Preliminary activities were performed without tennis racquets. There were warm-up exercises and then attention to footwork which, if mastered will get you to the right spot on the court at the right time. The 'ready position' was quickly mastered. When all students were widely stanced on the balls of the feet with the racquets held in the handshake grip and lightly supported at the throat by the other hand, you couldn't tell the beginners from the ex- perts without a program. The crunch came when the beginners were asked to combine their knowledge about foot- work, stance and grip, and to hit a ball tossed at them by a partner. There were some fruitless swats, and a few good solid connections. Junior beginners obligingly collected the balls that flew out of the The Midland fastball team was in Penetanguishene Sunday night playing Ken's Esso in Georgian Bay fastball action. Ken's Esso won the game with a score of 8-6. Staff photo court and over the fence. When a well placed shot earned a "Good! Very good!" from the _ in- structors, beginners grinned like school kids with an A in spelling. The mysteries. of scoring and rules were unravelled, and neophytes were hear- tened to learn about the "first one in" refinement. This allows new players to keep serving until they and closes on the 12th. The hard winter is the Ministry of Natural Resources' reason for the shorter season. Not wishing to leave anyone out Duck Unlimited (Canada) has a newly revised Waterfowl Brochure available free of charge to anyone who is interested. It shows plummage as well as the nesting areas of our more predominate species. The brochure also gives a run down on what Ducks Unlimited is and what its purpose is. It is very colourful and most enlightening. Anyone wishing a copy just write Ducks Unlimited, 8 Yonge Street, Box 426 Aurora L4G 3L5. It is well worth the stamp and the time it takes to'drop them a line. If you are inclined I am sure they would take any donations. After all they have been our watchdog on the ducks for years. In the past ten or so years that I have been a member of the Hunters and Anglers Club in Midland I really think I would have changed the name of the club to the Georgian Bay Social Club. The members are willing to give when they are sitting down to a good meal but when it comes to giving up a little of their time and ~ muscle power they either have a lapse of memory or they don't care enough about our outdoors to get off their duffs and do something. A meeting was called at the last regular meeting of the club for anyone in- terested in joining or bringing up any worthwhile project that the Conservation Committee could get involved in. As Co-Chairman I made sure I was at the clubhouse on time but to my surprise only two other members felt the way I did. Not one of the executive showed up so we could not even get into the clubhouse. I don't really know how anyone could praise this kind of conduct in what is supposed to be a Conservation Club. To Lyle Thorpe and Don Leclair I apologize for the time you spent and can only say that I hoped there would have been fifty members with your incentive and appreciation for our Great Outdoors. Tomorrow May Be Too Late. get one in, or run out of balls, whichever comes first. By noon, there were a few stiff muscles, a few sunburned noses, and two dozen tennis players who were no longer beginners. Interest was high in the weekend clinics, and tennis club officials plan more in the future. If your backhand is weak, and your serve is ailing, help is at hand.

Three P.S:S. students to go to Ontario track meet by Pat Fitzgerald Penetanguishene Secondary School will send three athletes to the all Ontario Track and Field Championships in Sudbury this Saturday. Lloyd Cascagnette, Debbie Tinney and Ken Tessier have qualified in the Tri Meet, Tudhope and Thomson Meets, the Zone II and the GBSSA throughout this year until finally the first annual regional championships (Niagara Falls and Peel County) on the weekend.

However, 16-year-old Debbie Tinney has been throwing the shot put well, having personal bests in the GBSSA and the Regionals in the past week to qualify for the OFSSA. In the boys division, Ken Tessier won the senior boys' discuss championship at the GBSSA last week, then went on and qualified for the OFSSA at the Regionals on the weekend. Lloyd Cascagnette, last year's 100 metre silver medalist in the Ontario Finals, will be running again this year after sweeping all 100 metre events of the year, right up to the Regionals, where he placed fourth. Lloyd also qualified for the long jump next week in Sudbury. Good luck to all athletes next week, but especially to ours. Thanks also is extended to Mr. Larry Banks, Mr. Paul Fawcett and Miss Gail Kingsley, the coaches of this year's track and field team, who did a superb job in win- ning the CKMP meet, Tri Meet, Zone Meet, and Tudhope Meet. Earlier in the year, the junior boys' relay team made up of Pierre Therrien, Dave Leblanc, Paul Robillard and Lloyd Cascagnette established a new record in the '"'Robert Kerr' 4 x 100 Sprint Relay at Newmarket in the Quaker Relays. Their time of 46.8 seconds beat the old record by two seconds. There were a lot of milkshakes riding on this match Corpus Christi physical education teacher Ken St. Amant owes a lot of students milkshakes after he lost a number of bets on the out- come last week of a set of tennis between the team of himself and teacher John Turner, and the team of Anne Merkley and Peter Robillard. The two teachers did not win a game. Following the set, St. Amant, above left, and Merkley, above right, squared off in a single match. Again, St. Amant failed to win a game from the high flying Merkley. As can be seen from the picutres, she did most of the hitting, while he did most of the running.
