not be wearing blaze orange Heck I dont blame the deer for running And I don t blame the hunters for shooting Its going to happen here or km north of here the Ministry of Natural Resources holds a four day shotgun hunt and a twomonth ar hunt in the fall to kill deer Some accounts of shotgun field days haven been published but should be One man in Milton was shot while on his tractor decades ago One woman In Campbellville said holes were shot through her laundry years ago People in Halton Hills and Milton that talk ed to last week said they put up with the deer hunt because they thought it was necessary But they don relish the bullets that fly every November in the agreement forests in Halton for the deer hunt Sometimes these deer hunts do get out of control One man was killed by a friend while hunting in the woods He became the human harvest one Regional councillor said recently The bagging of deer is called a harvest I understand that the wolf population the natural predator of the deer is depleted and that some form of control must replace natural control but a woman I spoke to on Highway last week said that the wolf population is returning to that area near Chudleighs apple farm apparently had pro blems with deer nipping in for a bite of the Macintosh or the Nor thery Who can blame the creatures The answer seems to be that any animal sacrifice is easier than a

Paul Stubbens was filed with the Herald for publication Dear Mr Soccer is finally over after an ex citing and mostly rewarding year The mosquito boys battled right to the end for first place which was finally won by Consumers Distributing with a narrow margin of two points over Steak Express As in most sports the season ended with playoffs and a day of champions where all the final games were played Once again it was between Consumers Distributing and Steak Express this time with Steak Express winn the trophy Both teams worked hard for their successes All the boys were justly proud and deserving not of their trophies but of recognition of their accomplishments Unfortunately this did not hap pen The local papers likely because of the time element had little more than the numbers of winning teams in the following edi although one paper did have several good action shots of final day What did happen however was a team picture of Consumers Distributing appearing first in one paper which said claimed top honors at the annual Day of Champions and the following week in the other paper which simplv named them 1989 quito Champions One of the things I hope soccer attempts to teach is sportsmanship and a sense of fair plav both on and off the field I am both angrv and disgusted that this code was completely disregarded by those responsible Not only were the captions on the pictures misleading but the ac comphshments of Steak Express were ignored I have been assured by the cer club that thev had nothing to do with the pictures being submitted However as those in charge of Consumers are present or verv re cent soccer executive members it difficult to see the distinction Perhaps the soccer club although not directlv responsible for incident should see that so meone is in charge of so that all teams and girlsof all age levels get proper recognition Yours truly Robinson Bertrand but soccer execs try hard Dear Sir I feel I must respond to a letter from Elaine Robinson and put her straight on one or two facts about finals day of Georgetown Soccer Club It is not a day of champions It is cup final day The cup is played for by having the teams draw out of a hat for their opponents in the first round and then it becomes a one game knock out It then becomes possi ble for the bottom team of the nor rial league to go on and win the cup final which sometimes hap pens So in fact The Consumers team was the league champions and received trophies as such and not as playoff champions we do not have playoffs Steak Express received their cup as cup winners As far as publicity goes we would love to have a public rela lions person but due to the lack of even one on the com were doing two jobs as it is On finals was there from 7 a m to p I had to look after equipment uniforms facilities and coach directorship and I feel that if the coach or manager or a parent felt slighted there was nothing to stop them from taking a team picture to the newspapers themselves and state that Steak Express were the cup final inners The Steak Express owner was present to hand out the trophies to the and was ver pleased to do so His sponsorship was appreciated and there was no in tent to down pla the achievement of the team v his name on it After being involved at one level or another for the past in Georgetown and spent thousands of hours as I have never come across a with as many pett letters sent on one thing or another as this last one I like to see faces and bodies two heads are better than one and at the general meetings when there are the executive pre sent one tends to get a little frustrated The executiv cannot be all things to all people and must simplv do the best can Yours in sport George P S This is personal response and not the opinion of the club com Little Red Riding who News item A university resear cher has just published an article claiming that the familiar version of Little Red Riding Hood is a total corruption of the original story and an insult to women According to the article the original Red Riding Hood was not a well meaning but slightly dim girl who must be saved from the Big Bad Wolf by a Woodsman but a no- nonsense voung woman who is thoroughly capable of looking after herself Well By a happy coincidence this column has managed to unearth the original version of the story Please send the children from the room Once upon a time there lived a young woman who was not a little girl and who would give you a look that would make jour toes curl if you called her one Her name was Red Riding Hood Ms Hood lived all bv herself in a tinv cottage in the woods She lived in the woods because she was a log ger and she lived all alone because she had en up on men One Red Riding Hood dead ed to visit her grandmother a strong minded woman who sat on feminist committees and had absolutely no sense of humor at all Red Riding Hood like her But as Red Riding Hood strode purposeful down the forest path to house she met the Big Bad Wolf He was a short sort of wolf who wore white shoes and a large medallion on a gold chain and who introduced himself as Bib at singles bars he liked to lurk on the forest path because it was an ex place to meet girls And when he met them he bored them sillv with descnptions of his BMW his condominium and his ski chalet and then he ate them all up Hello little girl said the Big Bad Wolf with a toothy grin So how do vou like me so far Don t be pathetic said Red Riding Hood striding past him with a glare that curled his toes and twisted his tail into a pretzel The Wolf snarled a fearful snarl as Red Riding Hood disappeared around a bend Spiteful little girl he reaching behind him to wist his tail I shall take the short t s House and arrive there ahead of her and then I fix her little redwagon Teehee he added The Wolf armed at Grannv s House just moments after Grannv had left for the Which was a good thing for him since she would otherwise have shot him skinned him stuffed him and had his guts for garters he put on Grannv s nightdress and nightcap and climbed Into her bed just as Red Riding Hood came through the door Hello dearie the Wolf claimed In his best falsetto voice Step closer and ask my old Grannv has such big teeth Red Riding Hood glanced at the Wolf and at the nightdress and nightcap and replied Psychologists insist cross dressing is not necessarily a sign of latent homosexuality But I have my doubts This was the wrong thing to say since the Big Bad Wolf had always had some nasty worries about his masculinity himself Roaring with rage he leaped at Red Riding Hood She doubled him over with a short sharp punch to the kidney and was preparing to shift his teeth southwards when a brave Woodsman burst through the door brandishing his mighty axe Tear not little girl he cried I shall save vou on I
