PORT PERRY STAR PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 31, 1988 -- 25 Five run uprising more than enough for 6-1 victory over MCL Jrs. Gamblers win it bi The Greenbank Gamblers travelled to Oshawa last Tuesday night and won an extra inning en- Sounter with the Oshawa M.C.L. rs. Rus Korbak started on the hill for Greenbank and pitched 3 scoreless innings before being relieved by Mark Goreski who finished the game. There was no score in the game until the sixth inning when George Redshaw led off with a walk and was forced at second on Rod Reals fielders choice ground ball. Real was safe at first and prompt- ly stole second base and then scored the games first run on Trevor Tills line drive single. The lead was short lived as Oshawa quickly tied the game in the bottom of the sixth when Pat Black led off with a single, was sacrificed to second and eventual- ly scored on a third strike passed ball. Dennis Ewart caught the game for the Gamblers and played well considering he has been out of the game for the past four years. Greenbank had to rebuild their catching staff this year with the retirement of Hugh Johnston and with Brian Henricks moving from a Gamblers fastball catcher to a Little Britain baseball pitcher. So joining Don Phinney this year are Gary Baker and Dennis Ewart. Baker is returning to the £ 3 FT i i oe ali pT : .. eo Was he safe or out?

Much of the Sunday night mecting was taken up with ratifi- cation of a newly written Consti- tution, but there were several (Turn to page 26) Gamblers after sitting out last year due to work committments in Detroit while Ewart is an ex- battery mate of both Russ Korbak and Ken Goreski. At any rate the Gamblers broke the game open in the top of the eighth inning with a five run at- tack. Rod Seal started with a single, Trevor Till drew a base on balls and Don Beaton singled in the go-ahead run for Greenbank. John Foster followed with another R.B.I single and Terry Till bat- ted in the final two runs with a g in extra inning single up the middle and the Gamblers had a 6-1 victory.

"The current Ontario Cabinet is antihunting, antitrapping and is, at least to some extent, biased against sports fishermen'. That is the opinion of Jack Craik, President of a 72,000-member con- servation group, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (O.F.A.H.). "That's the only possible explanation for the way Cabinet has decided to ignore years of public input and renege on the provincial park regulations announced in 1983." Vincent Kerrio, Ontario's Minister of Natural Resources, announced May 17 that effective immediately, trapping will be banned in all classes of provincial parks and that on 80 percent of the parks' land base, hunting was automatically banned and could only be allowed on part of the balance on a case-by-case basis. Sport fishing will also be hard hit because even small outboard motors will be banned over the same huge area. O.F.A H. Executive Vice Presi- dent, Rick Morgan, explained, "In June, 1983 the 'previous government took the results of several years of public com- ments, open houses and consulta- tions, and announced the creation of = 155 new ~ provincial parks...parks designed to protect slams Cabinet and enhance Ontario's natural en- vironment but with a realistic compromise on permitted ac- tivities within the parks. Six huge wilderness parks, for example, would allow some hunting at a time of year when others were not using the parks. Certain other ac- tivities were banned. The key word was "compromise"'. No one group was completely happy; none was completely unhappy. These 155 parks were to be established with most permitted uses to be determined on a park- by-park basis. All people were considered." On May 17 that all changed, ac- cording to Mr. Morgan. '"This new government decided that, without consulting the public, it would change the rules and arbitrarily discriminate against several uses and thousands of Ontario residents." Hunting takes place for a relatively short period of the fall. Sport fishermen only use portions of the parks. It would'seem there would be little or no donflict with other users. As Mr. Morgan says, "We only want a little equal treatment." ; The Ontario Fefié¥ation of Anglers and Hunters (0.F.A.H.) is Ontario's largest provincial conservation group.
