BIO The Acton Free Press Wednesday Aug 22 Smiley delights in boaf people fishing As a small town boy who was always pretty closely associated with the country and nature It a coolant source of bewilderment to me to observe the reactions of my two to natural phenomena They practically ignore them When they come to our place with a large backyard practically polluted by birds and squirrels their great Interest in life is the lawn sprinkler at any hour of the day or night Oh they might look vaguely toward a tree when I say Listen to that big bird They might chase a robin or throw a rock at a squirrel But those things are basically boring to them Much more fun to turn on the sprinkler preferably when Grandad t looking give him a good cold shot in the back while he trying to read the paper and spend the next hour alternately running through the sprinkler and running around with their wet feet on Gran favorite rug Take them up to the local plaza where a store has tropical fish a huge old porrolt rabbits white mice and think they be fascinated One cursory glance and they re off and running smashing shopping carts Into each other knocking over carefully arranged displays and playgmg Superman by leaping over little old ladies sitting on benches Took them over to see their great Grandad last weekend He has a lovely place in the country about two acres with Appears in

down to the dock for a fish They had no more interest in fish or fishing than I have in re finishing furniture But they were intrigued about how long it would lake to drown if I drove Ihc car off the end of the dock Out driving with them I point to cows horses sailboats and all sorts of things they should be interested in Scarcely a look They wanl to know how fast we re going wh tgoingfostcr and

scarp face wait for final NEC plans Property owners hoping for severances within the Niagara Escarpment Commis sions NEC protection area may find them selves playing a waiting game if experiences of one Georgetown lawyer is a guide Ronald the lawyer found that his application to convey Tenth Lino land was de ferred by Land Division Committee last week In a split decision the deferred the bid with a hint should wait until after the NEC finishes Its plans for the area Some LDC members such as Joe said granting of the appli cation would likely be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board Dodokin indicated appreciation for the concern an OMB appeal may cause him but it was a bother he said he was prepared to undertake If committee feels this Is an appropriate severance then grant it and let other bodies examine it argued the lawyer Dodokin won over Willmott with argument against unfavorable re ports on the application from the Credit Valley Conservation Authority and the Regional plan ner The application describes a splitting of a lot about 12 acres in size with the retained lot to be seven acres The property sits in the north east half of Lot 30 Concession 10 A application to

agricultural land The action was made in the face of opposition Aug 15 Mayor Don Gordon said he sees the Job as a gopher position with a junior staff member going to sites when complains are received It would be his job to take a sample and take it for analysis Region chairman Jack was not in agreement saying that if tight controls did not go into effect soon dire and very costly results could be expected If we don keep it under control now It going to get right out of hand It could lead to and I think that one person making sure sludge is monitored is a lot cheaper than building an

a dandy cruiser with a cabin stove the works Seemed like a good idea Have a beer or two catch a mess of bass do a little For three weeks the weather had been hot and humid What a treat to get out on the bay far from the heat and stench of town Cool great fishing good companionship That s the way it is in the beer We drove to the marina in a cloud burst Sky cleared Spirits were high So were the waves Found the guaranteed bass fishing spot Water calmed Baited up They put me on the side of the boat where the bass weren I while they hauled in half pound monsters of the deep Sk clouded Another cloud burst More wind More ram No fishing Visibility decreased along with the food and the beer No land in sight Blown of the shoal where the fish were Anchor hold Soaked to the heels Circled the buoy marking the shoal eighteen times while novice steered erratically and skipper pretended he could chart a course Nothing in sight except rain Clung to rear seat with white knuckles and kept up spirits of crew with stories of flying for mation through the clouds and the time we came back from Horse Island deer hunting in November through a snow storm pumps not working and ten Toot waves Did quick figures in head estimating how far to swim if we hit rock take freighter of other cruiser stupid enough to be out in such Skipper finally figured course broke out emergency medical supplies blindfolded all of us opened her up and headed for what was either the north or the south shore of the Bay we made it I had caught one four inch rock bass and one helluva cold But we had bass fillets for breakfast the sun shone again my old lady had to forget about collecting my insurance and promptly called our minister and told him to put me down for a month for the real Boat People those poor
