JOY BOTT 229-1278 (HOME) 229-1050 (SCHOOL) Record Review: covered that there are still some anglers who think they must catch a WHOPPER to win the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters' Grand Prize draw. . "Not so," said Lance Males, contest administrator. "Winning ' the O.EA.H. Grand Prize draw is entirely a matter of luck! Every Ontario resident angler over 19 years-of-age who enters a fish- any size fish- according to the rules of the Molson Export Big Fish Contest, has the same chance," Males said. "Since this is the first year of the O.EA.H. Grand Prize draw, we expected to have to do some extra work to make it clear who was eligible. "But we don't want anyone to miss out on the chance to win a Dodge Dakota pickup truck, a 15' Stryker bass boat and trailer, and a 70 h.p. Evinrude motor, if they've caught an eligible species of any size." Species include Contest species include Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Muskellunge, Walleye (Pickerel), Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, Speckled Trout, and Salmon. Fish must be caught in Ontario waters, and may be entered in either the Live Release Category or the Catch and Keep Category. No entry fee is required. Rules for the contest and the draw are outlined on every Molson Export Big Fish Contest entry form. Entry forms are available from all Molson representatives, Bits and By Helene Ballard Hello Folks! Here we are in September; let us hope we have a nice month. This is a beautiful time of year and we sould all enjoy nature's "paint. brzsk"- I don't think there is any artist past or present who can do justice to this wonderful "colour show" of Mother Natures. Our residents enjoyed a few more outings' in our bus; once to Rainbow Lake and on Sept. 3 another trip to Jackfish and a visit to the Miller's who are always so kind to us; we had a good visit and a light snack. We have to take advantage of the nice sunny days and be out- New Def Leppard album lacks energy By Julio Gomes Special to the News Part way through the new Def Leppard album, Hysteria, lead singer Joe Elliott implores us to "Pour Some Sugar On Me", a rather pointless request because this 12-song effort is so saccha- rine sweet you are in danger of developing a toothache. In the September '84 issue of Musician magazine, Def Leppard was rated one of the five worst heavy metal bands around and dubbed "Menudo for metal mani- acs." This cruel cut was made in reference to 1983's sensational Pyromania album. Hysteria, the long-awaited follow-up, will only inspire more snide remarks. It's not that this album is uni- formly bad. The problem is the shameless use of formula metal: if a cynical corporation wanted to develop a blockbuster, sure-fire heavy metal album completely lacking in energy and creativity, Hysteria would be it. Indeed, this newest release should be re-titled Pyromania II, which only reinforces the image of Def Leppard as heavy metal's version of the Jackson Five. The album's. first track," Women," opens with chords~so reminiscent of Pyromania's "Billy's Got.a Gun" that the lack of imagination is staggering. As if that is not bad enough, the song is pointless and the chorus typically idiotic: " Women, women/ Lots of pretty women/ Ladies, ladies/ Can't live _ without them." The next song, "Rocket" fol- lows this pattern of total point- lessness: it's about a rocket, shiny and new. Granted, there are some decent sections that carry you away, but generally this is anoth- er disaster. The backing vocals of the Lepardettes is ridiculous, as is the pompous voice-over of a countdown to a rocket launching. The rest of the songs can be summarized thus: "Animal" is the most melodic effort, and the absence 'of sound effects greatly helps; "Pour Some Sugar On Me" has only Joe Elliott's delivery to recommend it; "Armageddon It" also rips off a musical arrange- all that need be said; "Gods of War" is so silly it concludes with a voice-over of Ronald Reagan, if you can believe it; "Run Riot" has absolutely nothing to say; and "Hysteria" features Joe Elliott trying to sing like a romantic Michael Jackson. The essential problem with Hysteria is seen in "Love Bites." Anyone with a fleeting familiari- ty of heavy metal recognizes this title from Judas Priest and has a certain raunchy type of song in mind. Def Leppard unwisely uses the same title and then presents a ballad in the most syrupy and mushy romantic style. It com- pletely misses the mark. The problem with this album is that every trick exploited in Pyromania is trotted out again, and the wear and tear shows. Where the synthesized whirring of helicopters and machine gun fire worked in Pyromania, it is an utter disaster in Hysteria. Here the band is not cute and winsome, it is cheap and exploitative. Ground-breaking heralds red- letter day for salmon association By Julio Gomes Special to the News A brief ceremony on the edge of the Kam River in Kakabeka marked another day of celebra- tion for members of the Thunder Bay Salmon Association in their efforts to establish a major sport-_ fishing industry in the area. The symbolic ground-breaking pose struck by Bob Simpson, the association's president, and Ron Stewart, regional director of Ontario Hydro, signalled the beginning of construction of a community chinook salmon hatchery: and 'the realization of a major-part of the dream: . "It's really a culmination of almost a year of a lot of work by a lot of people," says Simpson of the hatchery, which is being con- structed on Hydro property at a. cost of $175,000. "I couldn't say anything else but (I'm pleased with the accomplishment)." Much of the construction of the hatchery will be done by vol- unteer craftsmen, which under- scores the general enthusiasm that the project has generated locally. "A lot of people have been very supportive and came out and done a lot of hard work," Simpson says. "It gives us a pret- ty nice feeling that we know we've got a tremendous amount of support." Once the hatchery is ready, members of the year-old associa- tion will embark on the next sig- nificant phase of the project: trav- elling to the Wawa area to collect i ee that will be housed in the: hatch- ery during the winter. However, Simpson admits that problems may.arise with this particular venture. "We're pressed for time," he acknowledges. "but we're very optimistic that we'll be able to make the deadline...: Unfortun- ately, this has. been a kind of hay- wire year and we're not sure (about the success of collecting the eggs). We've started looking at alternatives in case we run into inclement weather." The association, formed last September, has made huge strides in pursuing a plan that started as an improbable dream: establish- ing a world-class chinook salmon stock in: the area to satisfy avid local anglers. Encouraged by the support of Vince Kerrio, the min- ister of natural resources, the association has secured MNR approval of limited salmon stock- ing in Lake Superior, as well as as a $50,000 grant, which was subsequently matched by the Ministry of Northern Develop- ment and Mines. Eleven months later, the dream is moving still closer to reality. "It's almost frightening the amount of success we've had," says Simpson with a smile, adding that even the second year membership drive has exceeded initial expectations. "We're not finished. In fact, there's still a lot of people that don't know we've A spinoff of this overwhelm- ing interest has been a flood of volunteers, even for the arduous egg collection, which will proba- bly take place in the cold of late September. "It could be a demanding exercise, but there's no lack of volunteers," Simpson says They're Winning Their Fight For Independence Thousands of children like .

'At this time a word to motorists to be careful driving as school starts; you know some- times little ones don't always look before they cross a street, so let's all be careful and watch out for these children. Thank- you. We are just about ready for the Fall Fair"; I hope we will all enjoy it and do our best to make it a huge success. Dr. Mike McCausland is back from Thunder Bay where he had eye surgery and he is as "perky" as ever. We are glad he had good results from the operation. We had a_lively time in our recreation room where one of our nurses was a guest of honour at a shower; our Tracey Stachiw, who will be married on Oct. 10; she received many lovely and useful gifts.
