September is just around the comer with the opening day of dove sea son. The opening of dove season will always bring fond memories of my youth. Dove shooting was usually the first form of hunting that young hunters were exposed to, usually picking up downed birds for their father before they were old enough to shoot Some of my fondest memories are of the long time friends and relatives who met at our house be fore the opening day dove shoot. My mother would always have enough food cooked to feed an army and anymore else who showed up could sit down and eat. There was never a shortage of food. I will never forget the white tablecloth that covered the food af ter dinner was over. How things have changed! Back in those days people ate dinner at 12 noon just as God in tended. This was the big meal of the day. No one would have thought of eating a large meal at 9 or 10 p.m., and then going to bed on a full stomach. Only Yankees and a few city folks ate like that. After the noon meal was fin ished, my mother would cover the left over food on the dining room table with that white tablecloth and it would sit there until we uncov ered it for the evening meal, cor recdy called supper. The experts tell us now that all food has to be immediately refrig erated after each meal or you will catch all kind of interesting bacte ria and diseases. These things must not have been invented when I was young, as I do not remember any stomach upsets or serious illnesses from leaving the food on the table. Maybe that white table cloth had an effect on the germs. Food has changed a lot since then also. No pre-prepared frozen, quick foods in those days. There were always at least two different kinds of meats on the table and several different vegeta bles. Who would think of sitting down to eat without biscuits on the table? A working man or growing No boating zone at Lake Worth The Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division has established a "No Boating Zone" above the dam at Lake Worth to protect boaters and anglers while dam repairs are made. This zone extends 600 feet above the dam and will remain in effect until the dam is repaired and the lake has returned to its normal level. The dam at Lake Worth was damaged during the July floods. With the dam out, the Flint River and Muckafonnee Creek have re- Step Aerobics Sponsored by the Perry Recreation Department Tuesdays & Thursdays 6:30-8 p.m. • Saturdays 9 -10:30 a.m. Perry High School Cafeteria Deborah Hamlin ACE Certified Instructor 10 Weeks - S3O (This is an on-going program) boy would not survive on "light bread". Many of the foods that we ate in those days have disappeared from our diet. How many modem day people have ever eaten salt mack erel for breakfast? My mother would buy the ex tremely salty, mackerel that came in little wooden buckets. She would soak them over night to re move some of the salt and then fry them to eat with eggs, grits and hot biscuits swimming with butter. Try to find a salt mackerel in a grocery store now. It would be en cased in shrink-wrapped plastic and have no taste, if you could find it My mother would take a baked sweet potato, peal it, slice it into slabs about one-half inch thick and fry them for a few minutes. She would then sprinkle a little sugar on the slabs, and that really im proved a sweet potato. She would iso take left over roast beef, slice it into half-inch thick pieces, flour it and fry until it was a little crispy on the outside. A meal fit for a king from left-overs! Now, all of the modem day nu tritionists will probably tell you that the above food will kill you and should not be eaten. Have you taken a look at the men around Atlanta that are living on a diet of pasta and other health foods? They don’t look healthy! They have that sort of sickly, ema ciated look. If I ever need help in a sticky, dangerous situation, I believe that I will pick a sugar and fat eating, beer drinking redneck rather than a health food addict from the city. My Grandfather and Grandmother Tuggle both lived to be 86-years-old. My Grandmother Harper lived to be 106-years-old, and my father is 93-years-old and in great health. All of them lived on a diet of sugar, salt, and fried food. I believe that I will stick with that diet. It seems healthier! turned to their previous channels and have created a dangerous situa tion for boaters near the dam. The 600-foot "No Boating Zone" will remain in effect for several months until the dam is fixed. Once the lake is back to normal, the distance of the zone will revert back to its previous state of 50 feet above Muckafonnee Creek dam and zero feet above the Flint River dam.

Taking kids fishing is a good time One day during a weigh in at a tournament site, I overheard a young kid about 11 or 12 make this comment: “1 wish my Dad liked to fish, so then maybe I could get to fish with him." I couldn’t help myself and immediately asked why he would say such a thing. All the youngster would tell me is that his dad never had time to do anything but watch T.V. True or not, I couldn’t really say, but the look on his face could have convinced a jury during any trial. It takes so little to please a young person, girl or boy, when it comes to fishing. They only want a chance to try something they see so many other people do. They may fall in love with the sport as Susanne and I have, or maybe just the one time is enough. We, as adults and parents in most cases owe this to our children. Let them be the ones to decide if they like it or not. So often we try to decide for the kids and not take into consideration how the kid feels. How many parents do you know or you may be one, make their or insist their kid participate in a sport or activity without even asking their feelings or thoughts. Kids have a mind of their very own and it is up to us to help them develop that mind but not mold it into what we think he or she should be involved in. I have heard only too often that fishing is too expensive and time consuming; all the while the individual saying this was buying another golf club or baseball glove for the softball league. There is nothing wrong in either of those Dove season comes in Saturday at noon By VETO F. ROLEY Sports Editor Dove season will open for Georgia hunters in the north zone this Saturday, Sept. 3. The dove line zone runs west to east along Highway 280 from Columbus to Wilcox County, then south along the western border of Wilcox, then east along the southern border of Wilcox to the Ocmulgee River, then north along the Ocmulgee to Highway 280, then east along 280 to the Little Ocmulgee River, then south along the Little Ocmulgee to the western border of Jeff Davis County, then south along the western border of Jeff Davis and Appling counties, then north along the eastern border of Appling to the Altamaha River, then east to the eastern border of Tattnall County, then north DNR reminds hunters about hunter's course Don't let a six-hour course stand between you and the woods this seasouf The Wildlife Resources Division, Law Enforcement Section encourages all hunters who have not completed a hunter educa tion course to enroll early to' avoid being stranded without a hunter safety certificate this season. "Too many people wait until the last minute to take their hunter safety course," says Lt. Col. Joel Brown, Hunter Education Coordinator. "Our class sizes are limited and fill up much quicker as hunting season approaches. This often leaves hunters scrambling to find an open seat." the need for hunter safety courses was recognized in the late 1940 s to early 19505. New York initiated the first required hunter safety course in 1949. In the 19705, the focus on hunter safety turned to hunter education. Hunter education participants learn hunter ethics, sportsmanship, wildlife identifica tion, and respect for personal prop erty, in addition to how to be a safe hunter. A mandatory hunter training law was enacted by the Georgia General Assembly in 1977. The law requires every person bom on or after January 1, 1961, to suc cessfully complete an approved Softball, from 7A ous Thursday by a score of 9-0, and Sonshine. The game between Lanier and S&E in the finals of the winner's bracket had been played with con troversy, with Lanier walking off the field under a heavy downpour David and Susanne Andel sports but don’t say fishing is too expensive while reaching into your pockets to buy something for your own pleasure. One of the most rewarding experiences we’ve had was working with the DNR during the national Fair a couple of years ago. Susanne and I, along with other volunteers, set up a small fishing clinic designed solely for the young individuals. We started out with the idea of being able to teach them some things about fishing and answering a few of the questions they may have. As it turned out, the kids were so enthusiastic over the idea of fishing and catching fish, we quickly just let them enjoy fishing. During the course of the fair, we met hundreds of young fishermen and fisherwomen, who will always have a place in our hearts. One such joy was meeting a young 13 year old boy from Macon County. Tliis young lad had never had the opportunity to fish. His mother was widowed and she had to work two jobs just to survive and keep her family together. The smiles and yells that came from this young person will remain burned into my memory forever. Remember, we were all young once, even though it may have been a long time ago. I can remember each time that Dad would stop along the eastern border of Tattnall and the western border of Evans County to Candler County, then west along the southern border of Candler County, then west along the southern border of Candler to the Ohoopee River, then north along the western border of Bulloch County to U.S. Highway 301, then northeast along 301 to South Carolina. Houston County is in the northern division for dove hunting. There is a limit of 12 doves per day. Shooting may not begin before noon on the opening day of the season in both zones. The southern zone will open Sept. 24. The dove season is divided into three windows. The first window in the northern yam m ffil| |||| \ vv La. Wml iJP. ! 11-*l 1 -*- ..a; *. ' !

Today all states and Canadian provinces offer or require similar hunter education courses. In Georgia, between July 1, 1993, and contending the field was too wet to play on. However, the umpire re fused to call the game. At the time Lanier walked off the field, S&E held a 9-0 lead, and had runners in scoring position. After one inning of play in the third place game against Sonshine, Lanier held a 3-2 lead on the basis of two-run blast with one out. Mike Grier, batting deep in the Sonshine batting order, would tie the game again with a solo shot in the second inning. But, Lanier Houston Times-Joumal . !U!

He never really complained even though at the time I felt like he was mad for stopping his work long enough to carry me. No matter how bad the times were and how hard dad worked, he would always find time for us. If you don’t have any children at home, this is no reason not to take a kid fishing. I know there are many kids in your neighborhood who would jump at the chance to spend a day fishing. Maybe there are some parents who are not able June 31, 1994, the Law Enforcement Section taught over 650 hunter education classes and certified more than 22,000 people. For more information about hunting laws and hunter education would come back with one run in the bottom of the inning, with Billy Graves singling in Pete Taylor, who had reached on a triple. Sonshine would battle back in the third, taking advantage of a Lanier error that allowed Alan Roberson to score from first on Joey Hawk’s single to left. The run left the score knotted at 4-4 after three. Lanier would take advantage of two Sonshine errors in the fourth to take control of the game, scoring or care about the sport and they would love for someone to take their kid fishing. All one has to do is ask. Remember as long as that kid is fishing you know where they are and what they are doing. Our kids are our future and we as adults have had our chance and done a pretty fair job of messing it up. Just maybe, our younger generation will turn this great nation back around. What’s fishing got to do with this? I don’t know; maybe just one step closer to nature and God.

The southern zone also has three windows. The last two windows are the same as the last two zones in the northern zone. The first window opens on Sept. 24 in the south zone, and closes Oct. 22. The Department of Natural Resources is also warning hunters about hunting over baited fields. A hunter can be charged with hunting on a baited field even if he did not know the field was hunted. • Also, every hunter bom after Jan. 1, 1961, must pass a certification course before he can purchase a license. courses, contact the Wildlife Resources Division, Law Enforcement Section nearest you or call (404) 918-6409. two runs on Jeff Passmore's single to take a 6-4 lead. Lanier would solidify their lead with a single run in the fifth and two runs in the sixth. Graves had a solo homer in the sixth to start things for Lanier in that inning. Although Sonshine would make another run at Lanier in the seventh on two Lanier errors, scoring two runs, it would be a matter of too little, too late. The fourth place trophy went to Comfort Inn, which lost a heart breaker, 13-12, Sonshine.
