Changes Announced J New York's 1985-86 small game hunting season dates have been announced by Environmental Conservation Commissioner Henry G. Williams. \Although it's mid-summer, we are aware that small game hunters want to plan ahead for the fall, hunting season,\ Williams said. \By providing the season dates now, hunters can begin to make arrangements for their fall hunting trips.\ Sportsmen are reminded that small game seasons which begin before October 1 require the use of a 1984-85 hunting license. They should keep their licenses in a safe place so that they will not miss out oh such hunting opportunities. A 1985-86 license must be possessed when hunting on or after October 1, the start of the new license year. Detailed information on the hunting seasons and regulations will be in the 1985-86 Fishing, Small Game Hunting and Trap- ping Guide available from all license-issuing agents beginning in mid-August. \This year most- small game hunting seasons and bag limits are similar to those of recent years. However, there are a few noteworthy changes,\ Williams said. Wild Turkey - Additional areas for spring hunting include portions of Cayuga, Erie, Herkimer, Montgomery, Niagara, Oneida* Onondaga, Oswego, Saratoga, Schenectady, Seneca, Warren, and Wayne Counties and all of Fulton County. Pheasant - Upstate cock-only hunting season is Oct. 21-Nov. 17, the day before the opening of the regular big game season. Woodcock - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has cut the woodcock season back to 45 days of hunting with a three-bird daily bag limit and a limit of six in possession. The season, still subject to U.S.F.W.S. approval, is expected to be Oct. 1 - Nov. 14. FMUs now WMUs - Furbearer Management Units have been renamed Wildlife Management Units. The unit boundaries have not been changed. Hunting hours are generally from sunrise to sunset. These shooting hours also apply to woodcock. For other migratory birds, such as ducks and geese, shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. The half-hour before sunrise opening also applies to spring turkey hunting. A $7.50 Federal duck stamp is not required for hunting woodcock, gaUinules, rail or snipe; however, shotguns must be plugged to hold not more than three shells. This is the same three-shell restriction that applies when hunting ducks and geese. Waterfowl season dates will be announced by early September when Federal regulations become final, and will appear in the 1985- 86 New York Waterfowl Hunting Regulations Guide available from license-issuing agents after Sep- tember 13. U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary 9, Flotilla 2-5 Pulaski VFC Griff Jones Here we are in the modern age of electronics with everything from Loran C. to color radar. With all of the money we spend on new gadgets, you would think we would spend some time and money on fire prevention. One fellow said to me, \I have a diesel engine, so I don't worry about it.\ Even if a diesel is safer than gasoline, you can still have a terrible fire on board. When you prepare your boat for another cruising season, don't forget to prepare for a possible fire. And remember, Coast Guard requirements for fire extinguishers are minimum requirements. What you purchase above and beyond the requirements is to your own advantage. Many boats have twin fuel tanks full of fuel with capacity of 100 or even 200 gallons. A 25-foot boat is required to carry only one small dry chemical extinguisher. Now, think about putting out just two gallons of gasoline spread in your bilge with this extinguisher. Multiply the problem by 50 or 100 and you see what can happen. Fire prevention comes in many forms, including keeping your bilge clean, checking your tanks and fuel lines, refueling properly, precautions taken while cooking or heating, checking wiring and lighting, keeping your battery clean and protectedj etc. * But what would you do if a fire did occur in your bilge or engine compartment? Perhaps you should consider a good automatic fire fighting system. For a couple of hundred dollars, you can getr one installed. Usually made with CO-2 or Halon, the idea behind such systems is to smother the fire under your hatch without actually going into your engine or fuel compartment. It is also a good idea to have a shut-off valve . rfrom your fuel tanks to your engine outside, where they are accessible topside. And, any fire fighting system should be capable of being ac- tivated from the deck, too. Remember, after a fire, Halon or CO-2 has little or no effect on your engine and electronics, however, dry chemical can destroy them. Another cause of fire, which is becoming more apparent, is the pumping of the wrong type of fuel. Gas in a diesel or vice versa. We have seen gas being pumped into water tanks and in rod holders mounted on the gunwhales. All fill pipes tend to look alike. Perhaps you should code yours to prevent confusion. Think, about it. Shouldn't you be prepared with the best gadgets to prevent and fight fire, too?

Volunteers Needed Literacy Volunteers of America, Inc. (LVA) grew out of a concern for the millions of people in America who cannot read—or read so poorly their non-reading is a real problem in everyday life—or who cannot speak English. LVA-Oswego County offers workshops that train people to address both of these problem- s—the Basic Reading Workshop and the English as a Second Language Workshop. The texts that are used arose out of the needs of tutors engaged in instructing these adults. As difficulties were encountered, professional advice was sought. Professional techniques in teaching basic reading and English were \translated\ so that non- professional, as well as professional, tutors could benefit. From this accumulated experience in actual practice, the workable techniques explained in these volumes have emerged. The next Basic Reading Workshop will be held from September 8 until September 26, Sundays and Thursdays, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., in Oswego at SUNYCO. An \English as a Second Language\ workshop will be held August 16, from 6:30to 9:30 p.m., and the following two Satur- days—August 17 and 24—from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The only requirements are a caring heart, a high-level reading ability and-or knowledge of the English language, and a small fee to cover the costs of materials and books handed out during the workshops. (A very limited number of scholarships are available for those who truly are unable to afford the workshop fee.) After completing the workshop, the tutor is asked to make a one- year commitment to teaching another adult, for at least two one- hour sessions per week in a public tutoring site, plus attendance at one in-service seminar in that year which will be bffered by the af- filiate. Those who wish more in- formation about these workshop or Literacy Volunteers, may call Pat Kardash at 341-5360, mor- nings, Monday through Friday. Literacy Volunteers is a volunteer organization that offers free tutoring in basic reading or English as a second language to adults who seek their services.
