Page-6-Banner Times Monday, August 5, 1985 Pulaski Recreation Jo Bellow emerged victoriius in the hunt for uinosaur eggs on Thursday, July 25. She found two out of five eggs and was also the first one to find an egg on that hot summer day—which, incidentally, was in a tree at the elementary school. \How did you happen to look up in a tree for an egg?\ I asked. \I just looked up and said, 'God, please help me find an egg!'; and there it was!\ replied Bellow. When asked why she continued to look after finding the first egg, she answered, \I wanted to get more than anybody.\ Her advice to fellow egg hunters, \Try harder next time!\ The other three eggs were fearlessly sought after and found by Jason Clarke, Matt Murphy, and Greg Hebblethwaite. Congratulations to all of you! As for other events, competitors are urged to finish up their tournaments. If games aren't played soon, the \no-shows\ will have to forfeit their matches. The only category that has been completed so far, is billiards. Congratulations to Shawn Boone for winning in the ages 8-10 category, Matt Hanks for 11-13, and Todd Kranz, winner of the 14- 17 age group. This Thursday's event will be a pet show. All kinds of pets are welcome and there are a number of categories. This is the final special event before Pulaski recreation hosts its annual junior Olympics so make the last two weeks the best ones. Legislation Signed Governor Mario M. Cuomo has signed legislation that will give sportsmen an opportunity to obtain a free, lifetime sporting license and give disabled veterans preference in the issuance of deer management permits. \New York has outstanding fish and wilflife resources,\ Governor Cuomo said. \These bills will provide increased funding for fish and wildlife management programs, thereby allowing greater enjoyment of these resources.\ One of the bills authorizes the issuance of up to 10 free lifetime combined hunting, fishing and big game licenses per year to hunters and fishermen who become eligible by contributing one dollar to the Conservation Fund. Recipients of the licenses will be chosen by the Department from among those who contribute to the fund. \It is believed that a significant percentage of license buyers will take advantage of this op- portunity, resulting in an ad- ditional source of revenue for the Conservation Fund,\ the Governor said. The Conservation Fund is the primary source of funding for New York's fish and wildlife programs. Money from the fund is used for a variety of game and non-game fish and wildlife management programs, including fish stocking, habitat improvement programs, research, endangered species programs and wildlife management areas. The method for awarding the free lifetime licenses will be determined by rules and regulations to be developed by the Department of Environmental Conservation. It is expected that the program will be in place for the 1986-87 license year. The Governor also signed a bill authorizing the Department of Environmental Conservation to Winners In Tournament More than 1200 anglers par- ticipated in the third annual Wayne County Trophy Waters Fishing Tournament held July 25 through 28. Winners were rewarded for their fishing efforts at the Awards Ceremony held on the July 28 at Sodas Point. Cash prizes of $1000, $500, and $165, plus merchandise valued at over $5000 was awarded to fishermen reeling in the top three fish in six categories. The prizes did not end there, with the Youth Division winners in the six categories taking home trophies, rods and reels, and tackle boxes loaded with lures. Brian Neal of North Rose brought in the biggest fish of the tournament - a 35.92-pound salmon - to win first place in the salmon category. Tihiothy King of Lashaka, Pennsylvania placed second with a 32.84 pound salmon; Charles Eldred of Brockport placed third with a 31.57 pound salmon. The lake trout category was dominated by a husband-wife team from Pulaski, Claudia l£!lark hauled in a 14.77 pound laker foi first place while her husband Ron's 12.9 pound laker placed second. Ben Barry of Webster took jthjrd place with an 11.68 pound lake trout. A 17.15-pound brown trout gave John Coleman of Montoursville, Pennsylvania first place in that division. Roger Lester of Williamson placed second with a 15.06 brown and Robert DeWolf of Sodus Point took third with a 14.57 pound brown. The rainbow trout category went to Vince Pierleoni of Rochester (13.45 lb.'i Larry Ingalls of Seneca Falls (li.45 lb.); and Jerry Agostinr/of Rochester (11.87 lb.). Rick Stevens of Red Creek took first place in the largemouth bass category! with a 5.33 lb. fish.

Brown Trout); David Aldrich of Macedon (2.33 lb. smallmouth bass); Todd Kennedy of Webster (3.7 lb. largemouth bass); Michael Frank of Webster (10.6 lb. rain- bow trout). give preference in the issuance of deer management permits to disabled veterans having 40 percent or greater disability. Under' existing law, preference for those permits may only be given to State residents, certain landowners and to unsuccessful permit applicants from prior years. \Many of these disabled veterans who were injured when involved in military action to protect the people of this State and nation, still have the desire and capability to hunt deer in New York,\ Governor Cuomo said. \This is one small way the people of New York can show our gratitude for the service these veterans have given our country.' * The deer management permit system allows the taking of an additional deer to properly balance the number of deer in relation to deer range and food supply. The effective-4ate of the law is October 1, 1985, and the new deer management permit selection process will be available for the 1986 Big Game Season. JULY 29,1985 The MacDuf fie team took ad- vantage of the excellent weather and gained a 10-0 win to claim first place.

We did pick up a few at this time last year, but nothing like they are catching now. These early chinook are running all sizes, from three to 30 pounds. Hopefully, most of the three-pounders are being released, but since they jue considered by many to be • jp shelf on the table, we know many of them are part of the catch. Possibly, many fishermen are still laboring under the idea that salmon only run once, but this is only true in the river. It is very possible that these little kings were not going to run the river this year anyway, but were just content to stay out there and grow fat. The last I knew, the hot lures were small chartreuse dodgers with purple and black or green and black squid and purple and black evil eyes. This is written right after our last three-day blow, so I expect some changes have taken place. We are fishing on Tom Cariotti's \Great Laker\ tomorrow with Dick Pinney, journalist, and lecturer, and recently-appointed to the New Hampshire Fish and Wildlife commission, Tom Connors, known by his friends as \Tom Cat\. He is the original wheeler and dealer of the whole towns of Portsmouth and Greenland, New Hampshire. I'd love to have had him in my outfit for midnight requisitions and procurement during the war; and Derrick Hiler, who comes every summer from Michigan and fishes with me for about a month, after school is out. I should have a lot better idea of where and how to fish after tomorrow morning and then will update the Oswego County Fishing Hot Line. I just received a press release from the Lake Ontario Charter Boat Association which gave some of the details of the second annual ' Lakes c Ohtdrib; J Charter * Boat/ •' 'jv.*-' 1.1V :'£tfU'. /jjvryyi'icij.-• •'.\ Invitational at Port Credit, Canada. Four of the six American Boats placed in the top ten in the competition: Joe Swift's Priority I took top money of $2000. The other American boats entered were Bill Linder's, C.C. Rider, Frank Sanza's Callisto, Rick Rockefeller's, Sandpiper; Marv Cappon's Captain and Lamb; and Bill Kelly's Mighty Angler. There were 53 boats and 300 people in the tournament. What it all boils down to is that the Americans still know how to fish, whether in their own or strange waters. I probably am opening another can of worms, but since the charter boat association guidelines and objectives are to interact with federal and state and local governments for the good of our sport fishery, and to set the standard of conduct for its members, they are the people to act on this problem. There seems to be a growing wave coming down the lake of charter boats figuring that the more fish they put in the box, the higher in stature they are with the fishermen. To obtain this objective, the limits of the first mate and the captain of the boat are added to the legal limits of the fishermen who are chartering the boat. This practice could have its legal ramifications when three people leave a boat carrying 25 fish or 50 fillets, providing they have been lucky enough to have also caught some specie other than lake trout. Possession limit in New York State is two days' catch, but I would think there would be some legal implications here when you do it on one trip. Not withstanding the extra pressure to our fishery, there is an ethics question here and I am asking the charter boat association to come up with some policy guidelines, and I'm sure they can do it. So, I'll leave it up to them. It's just another case of do we want a sport or a meat fishery. Dick Schleyeis PresidenVo?gSlMfe :~ sent me copies of the letter sent from the Lake Ontario Political Action Committee on promoting the Safe Harbor at Port Ontario. They were sent to D'Amato, Moynihan, and Horton from 20,000 fishermen at large. We, who are connected with it, have some great expectations for this newly formed political action committee. I'll have more on it in the future. The applications are out for exhibitors in the eleventh annual Salmon Festival to be held Sep- tember 13,14 and 15 at the John S. Haldane Memorial Building. Unfortunately, I can't be at the Salmon Festival this year as I'll be in Los Angeles and on the way to Hawaii at the time. See U on the water. OLD HICKORY Center Ready The Bernoulli Blower, a new exhibit at the Sci-Tech Center, is now ready for visitors. The exhibit was developed using a $750 grant from the Rotary Club of Watertown. The Center had ap- plied to the Youth Committee of the Rotary Club for funds to make an exhibit which demonstrates Bernoulli's Principle. Using a beach ball, and the brightly colored blower, visitors can test the physical law first hand. The new exhibit joins the many other hands-on exhibits found at the Sci-Tech Center, including the Discovery Boxes paid for by a grant from Welcome Wagon Newcomers Club in 1984. Sci-Tech, located On the second floor of the State Office Building is open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., Wednesdays.and Saturdays/. ^ v.'.
