Arthur Black HOOK, LINE AND STINKERS jThere are basically only two types of fishermen: those who fish for sport and those who'catch something. Anon Let me declare my bias right at the start: >I don't fish. 1 live on the ocean about 25 yards from water that teems with salmon, ling cod, halibut and a host of undersea leviathans-I couldn't even identify. 1 have watched, from my back porch,ý blue herons gobble down, and bald eagles snatch up, fish that would have been mounted on a plaque, back in my native Ontario. My new neighbours fish. Rich Americans spend thousands of dollars a week to, fly in and drop their lines in water flot -a haif mile from where I sit. And yet 1 don't fish. And I'm flot exactly sure why. 1 used to, back in Ontario. 1 can't count the number of Stimes 1 have stood up to my umnentionables in cold Ontario rï-vers, courting hypothermia while trying to coax somnething -- anything with fins -- out of the water. A jerk at one end of a line, waiting for a jerk at the other. 1 think fishing doesn't appeal to me aàny longer for the -same reason that 1 can't imag- ine shooting ducks in a barrel. The thrill is gone. When I was a kid it was just me, a bamboo pole and a tomato can full of Worms. Fishing's just not like that anymore. Nowadays fish- ermen have radar scanners to tell them where the fish are; charts and maps toý apprise them of the shoals and holes where lunkers like to lurk. They have hi tech boats and an array of lures and baits, cus- tom-tested by fish biologists. They fish with down riggers that could lift a submerged Buick off the bottom. High technology lias destroyed the cods stocks on our east coast and decimated the salmon stocks on our west coast. Fishing -- be it commercial or sport -- just ain't cricket anymore. The latest piece of weapon- ry in the anti-fish arsenal? The 'Aqua-Vu'.' It is, if you can beclieve it,,a video system com- prised of a miniature TV cam- -era connected by a cable to the end of the angler's fishing line. 1t's inventors dlaim that Aqua- Vu allows fishermen to "actual- lyý see how fish are responding to the bait they are using." Swell. Why flot take ALL the mysteryout of the pastime -- just lob a live grenade over the- gunwale- and net whatever floats up? Which we rnay flot be all tînlt far from, by the way. You in whi.ch your hosts, ail decked out in camouflage gear and the latest in angling gadgetry, nat- ter at the camera as they cast for fish. Typically, they catch about 85 fish per program. and I neyer could figure out just how they managed to be so lucky. Until 1 read about the court case in Trenton, Ontario last spring. Two of those fishing star hosts -- Henry Waszczuk and Italo Labignan -- pleaded guilty to charges laid by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. t appears they were caught_ jigging' - hooking fish in the body, off-camera -- so that they could re-hook them in the mouth and retrieve them with the cameras rolling. t costs them $1 ,800 in fines plus, I would guess, any credi- bility they ever had with legiti- mate anglers. 1 have to confess that I find a silver lini.ng in this black cloud of a story. 11 1 think it's heartening that after a couple of centuries of humans using every trick in the book, fish are still so wily that a couple of professionals equipped with the latest gear, are reduced to cheating to make their fishing trip look successful. It seems Italo and Henry forgot the one cardinal rule for a successful fishing expedition. Ifs a matter of timing. You have to get there yester- day.

The kitchen would be on a level with the hall proper anda dumb waiter could be added for additional space in the basement. It was pointed out that in building the kitchen area it would also be possible to make the building wheel chair assessable by means of a ramp along the north side from the front of the building. The lack of such access, it was noted, has been somewhat of a deterrent in its use. A rough estimate of cost was set in the area of $70,000.00.
