Is now closed These fish must be released Silver spoons seem to work best in the Credit where 30 pound fish are expected STORY CONTEST WINNER Winner or the ONTARIO by bob ollivier OUTDOORS fishing story contest is Brian of Princess Ann Drive Georgetown Mia story went like this On a recent long weekend I went fishing with my father and a friend The destination was the French river where we expected some good fishing We camped right on the river and went out to try our luck This first time out we got skunked The following morning we made an agreement between us first fish gets two dollars from the others and the first Walleye gets three dollars We ran up river lo the falls and portaged around them with the boat Once at the top of the falls we put the boat In and started the motor Suddenly the motor quit and the boat began drifting down toward the falls Nothing we did would get it started again There was a cable across the river Just above the drop off I tried to grab the cable but had to let go My dad looked up from the motor and saw the situation and grabbed the cable and I got the motor started and quickly ran the boat I caught the first fish which was a small rock bass it won the first fish Just as we were about to leave for the camp I got a bite and pulled six inch walleye A minnow maybe but enough to win the prize for the first walleye The above story won on the basis of the interest and the ex citement Thanks to all those that sent in their entries Keep it in mind for next year The contest runs from Sept 15 197 to Sept 191975 The Georgetown Revolver club has a club building at and Is a beehive of activity on Wednesday nights Baseball chief throws in towel Im tired of the attitude the parents in Georgetown My home life has been shot to hell and after four years I need a rest said Ron Sgulgna president of the Georgetown Baseball Association when summing up his reasons to quit Mr Sgulgna has been coach of the Tyke All Star baseball team for the last four years He has been a member of the G B A executive for two years and president for one year He was eligible to run Tor re election In 1S7S but decided to give up baseball except for umpiring Being president he said was a very demanding lob It may not be a full time job but its certainly a threequarter time lob After a while spen ding three hours a night five nights a week plus moat of the weekend begins to take Its toll always criticism but very rarely is it ever con structive Parents are always com plaining because things dont go right for their kids Of not all are like that but I guess the ratio Is two to one The attitude of parents was an n Mr decision he He was especially annoyed at parents who considered the B A as a babysitting service I think a lot of parents consider us as somewhere to send their children during the summer vacation The same goes for hockey and soccer Poor attendance at games by parents was also disappointing him I remember games this season where noone but the coach turned out to the games TBall sees a good attendance but the Tykes nave about five parents show up and is even less Nobody expects every parent to come to every game but you would think they could make it for some games There are some kids playing who have never seen their parents at the bait park As president Mr Sguigna was chairman for the various committees of the G B A The exactly rule explained I chair the committees and generally act as a focal point of the G B A At the beginning of the season one After the season gets under way we try to keep to our budget and raise money Believe me Its not easy the teams In the B A this year cost Broken bats worn balls and urn shirts are all extra ISM goes to Hilton County for registration of Ontario Baseball Association All Star pUyers entry Into the Halton County league and umpires fees which are IS a day House League umpires cost averaging between to a game depending upon the teams To cover this expense there are registration fees for a bouse league player for an All Star player Sponsors contribute for a house league team for an All Star team The rest of the money comes from draws cent chocolate ban and donations from parents If we dont make the budget we have to go to the town said dlfflbuii In the B A playoffs got through new bats and maybe they have three or four left At the home games I guess must have used two or three ball a game Expense such as these dont apply to all the teams The Is cheaper to equip Initially But they play more games maybe two a week be said The frustrations and disappointments of the Job are evident Organizing players is quite an undertaking and deserves support but Mr Isnt looking for sympathy The isnt a baby sitting service Its purpose is to give Georgetowns children an opportunity to learn and play What the GBA needs is support from til the parents not lust a dedicated few CHRIS Is one of the many walkers getting ready for Kinsmen Tor Cystic
