“Hey, look at the big one I caught" seems to be what Michelle Eberspaecher is thinking here as she hoists a sun fish. Michelle is the daughter of Trailblazer columnist Alex Eberspaecher. zo â€" nus leh‘flAL, weanesuay, Apr. 23, 1975 “What we are really concerned about is_ when,“ Ralph Sawyer. president of the Richvale Minor Ball Association, told Richmond Hill Council Monday night as he sought a firm date for the installation of lights on the diamond in Pearson Park in time for the opening of the 1976 ball season. He Vsuggested the specifications could be ready for a tender call in the This would be ap» proximately May 15. Mayor David Schiller pointed out to Mr. Sawyer the parks and recreation committee had expressed their endorsation of the lighting project by recommending that its staff consult with the town treasurer to investigate means of paying for the installation prior to the beginning of the 1976 season. OMHA referee and coach of the Oak Ridges OMHA Bantams. Now that winter has slipped away Connie plans on relaxing a trifle and also following the fortunes of the Aurora Junior softball team. There are a number of Oak Ridges players in the line-up such as Pitcher Al Heintzman. She’s also busy doing public relations for a Spring Fair slated for Oak Ridges May 31. It’s being promoted by the Oak Ridges Lions, junior B club, minor hockey, and Bond Lake Figure Skating Club. But more on this later. J ust notes here The Richvale Minor Ball Association will hold a pitching clinic for peewee bantam boys at Roselawn gym (Carrvilie Road) next Wednesday at 7:30 pm. On hand to provide the instruction will be Brian Cochrane and Catcher Don Patskou. Brian was the winning chuc’ker in last year‘s Richmond Hill In- dustrial Ball Tournament.

Have faith in us,” the mayor urged. Councillor John' Birchall reported the project is in next year's capital forecast and stated, “There is nothing to prevent us going out to tender in the fall to be ready for the spring.“ However. Parks Director Davfli Hannhon caufioned that the method of payment must be determined first. If itis paid for out of current revenue there would be no problem, but if it is paid for by’a debenture issue then OMB approval would be necessary. York County Rugby Football Club On Saturday Maple European Delicatessen Bantams visited Ilderton to continue their final series. In what can be classed as one of the great games of the season the Maple bantams came out on the short end of a 3-2 score to lose the OMHA finals to the home team four games straight. Never say die, the Maple boys gave it their best effort and besides hitting the goal post three times and the cross bar once were again frustrated by great goalkeeping. Ilderton opened the scoring early through the second period but Maple struck back to tie it on a long shot from the point by Derrick Hoare which was tipped in by Wayne Boudreau. Ilderton scored two goals in a row to lead 3â€"1 with but three minutes left in the second period. Steve LeMoine narrowed the gap to 3-2 with two minutes left in the second period with Per Nielson and Dave Taylor drawing assists on the play. A scoreless third period was marked by fast skating, good skating and excellent goalkeeping by Maple‘s Kim Weese and Scott McNair for Ilderton who was a thorn in the Mapler’s side throughout the whole series. Jeff Marshall, the Ilderton captain scored all three goals and counted ten of his team’s 17 goals in the series. rightv trac}; A: u. u u». a. .. This will be one of the best investments you will ever make. Did you know that someone once made a survey in a number of jails and found that very few of the inmates had ever done any fishing. and none was what you could call a fisherman or outdoors-man. This should show you that a boy who goes fishing is less likely to get in trouble with the law It was a hard defeat for the Maple boys as they enjoyed the better of the territorial play but .were out lucked by goal posts throughout the game and the series. However the boys came up with a great season. Way back in October after selection of the team their coach, Bill Lawson felt that to make the York Simcoe League finals would be a goal to shoot at. As the season wore on the team jelled and played some good sound hockey throughout the playoffs and into the finals. Having nine first year bantams and only two from last year’s OMHA cham- pions they managed to finish second to Schomberg in the regular season. Schomberg were re- classified for play-offs leaving Maple as the threat for the DD title which they nearly capped the season with. The Maple Bantams sponsored by the Maple European Delicatessen played 47 games this season in regular season, exhibition and playoffsTheywon 32, lost 13 and tied two, scoring 253 goals and allowing only 144. Kim Weese had a 3.19 goals game average and Dave Cook a 3.50 goals game average and they shared the goaltending duties for Maple. Leading the scoring parade for Maple was their captain Blair Sutherland with 58 goals and 47 assists for 105 points, his two wingers Scott Lawson 25 goals and 53 assists for 78 points and Wayne Boudreau 36 goals and 33 assists for 69 points were second'and third respectively in the line acâ€" cumulating 252 scoring points for the season.

PLAYERS AND COACHES CLINIC RICHMOND HILL - UMPIRES ASSOCIATION CLINIC SATURDAY, APRIL 26 Crosby School Gymnasium Sponsored by P.W.S.U. in co-operution with the Richmond Hill Minor Ball Association Invites all interested Girls and coaches to attend SATURDAY, APRIL 26th from 1:30 p.m. to 4 pm. Some national magazines advertise a complete fishing kit on their back page. Rods, reels. tackle boxes, and all the gear for one low price. Garbage! That‘s all it is as far as I can see. If you want to turn someone away from fishing get him such a kit. The rod and reel are your most expensive pieces of equipment. There are basically two types available for the beginner â€" the open faced and the closed faced. The best rod The spinning rod with an open faced reel is the best in my book. Good starter rods are available for ten dollars and up. Make sure the rod is a hollow fibreglass one, not the heavy solid type. . A _ ,.__I ‘__L Be accurate However. distance is not as important as accurate placement of the lure. Such a reel. if properly cared for, will last a lifetime. so you should get the best money can buy. You can get one for as low as ten dollars, but twenty will get you the top of the line. i A The grip or handle should be of cork and have a reel seat that can be screwed on to the reel. The open faced spinning reel for this rod is as the name-implies. with the face or spool with the line on exposed. r This spool remains stationary during the cast and the line flows off without any friction. With the proper line, long distance casts can be achieved. I hope I have given you some idea on how to get started â€" the rest is up to you. I might as well give you the advice now that I would give my best friend; buy your tackle at a good tackle shop where you can get some darn good advice as well as equipment. Stay away from discount and chain stores because the sales personnel usually know little or nothing about fishing, and they seldom offer any service or guarantee. -- .. . an," JV.. 7.. The second type is the spincast reel and rod. The rod is slightly shorter and has a recessed reel handle. Once again, this fibreglass should be hollow not solid. The reel is closed by a skirt but the line runs off the spool as on the open faced reel. Unlike the latter, where you control the line release with your finger, the spin cast reel has a button to release the line. Some of you might know it as the push-button reel. Get proper line One common error most newcomers make is in their choice of line. Of course you know enough to stay away from those nameless lines sold in department stores. When you buy your rod and reel, get your line as well. Six to eight pound test is strong enough and no fish will break this line if the drag or brake is properly set on the reel according to poundage. The price of the rod is about the same as the spinning rod but the reel is a bit cheaper. The only drawback with the closed faced reel is that when you have some problem, you must take the reel apart. Fish color blind Take care in buying lures. Most reputable manufacturers have some simple basic lures which will catch fish. However, there are just as many lures on the shelves that are designed to catch the fisherman rather than the fish. Remember, most fish are colour blind and are not able to see those pink polka dots on that purple lure. on,“ .7" t . Keep him out of jail It‘s not enough to buy the tackle for your son or daughter. You must give encouragement and better yet, go with him to see what you can catch; The time and money you spend now is nothing compared to what it might cost to bail him out ofjail. If he (or she) is out fishing he‘s not stealing a car. This is about the only thing that I can guarantee. The fish? Well . . . That’s up to you and him!
