When the news of the deer being downed was learned, it spread like prairie fire. An in- dication of the speed with which the news travelled was provided by Leturneau. The two men had barely reached town with their trophy, he said and stopped at a Midland store for some goods when the store keeper began talking about their good luck and questioning them about the well known "giant"? of the marsh. Deer As with many suc- cessful hunts, the deer was bagged through a combination of skill, patience and . big quantities of "Lady Luck". Brown said the men had been hunting the area where the deer was downed, seperately, since early morning. - They had gone into the spot after talking to Game Warden, Andy Fletcher, who suggested that the area they hunted might be a good spot for deer. After being un- successful during the early morning hunt, the Brodeur thanks Midland minor hockey They say good deeds always go unnoticed but this is not true. A letter to our office this week recognized the job done by many of Midland's minor hockey coaches and such praise has been long overdue. Pat Brodeur' of Midland has played his minor hockey career in Midland and has now moved on to play for Orillia Travelways in OHA Jr. B hockey. Brodeur remembers his vears in Midland with fondness. Dear Mr. Gadsby: I would just like to say thanks to the many coaches, managers, executives of Midland Minor Hockey and to all the people who drove to games and who gave us support throughout the years. j In my 12 years of minor hockey I enjoyed everv vear, win or lose. I especially thank my coaches who devoted manv hours of their free time and money out of their own pockets. Few people realize just how much they do spend. Thank you' Mr. Gadsby for my release from Midland. I hope I represent Midland the best I can while playing Jr. B in Orillia. Yours truly, Pat Brodeur * Deputy-reeve, six years men were about to settle down for a cup of coffee when they heard a shot up the trail from where they were. They stood and listened for a while and suddenly heard the unmistakeable sound of a running deer. A few more seconds and the animal ran right out to them. with it's head down. Both men fired at once and the deer went down for good. It was shortly thereafter they began to realize their deer was the one with the reputation for size and elusiveness. The two men were elated about their kill, but in talking about the day's occurrences, they both were a little sad that such a _ fabulous animal had to die at all. Their obvious respect for the animal and nature is what distinguishes a true sportsman. FOR COUNCIL ELECT BOB CASCAGNETTE 1. Born and raised in Penetanguishene 2. Bilingual 3.
