Enquirer and News. Battle Creek, Dec. 29, 1979 B-3 list Gore-fex: a fabric for all seasons erads swcam's flight Open Ston Kaufman Ci I Is will come in. Now this is not a flaw tne Gore-Tex itself it's a manufacturing oversight by everyone producing Gore-Tex products. The stores that sell Gore-Tex products will sell you a sealant for Gore-Tex and you must seal every seam yourslf or you simply don't have a waterproof item.

Point: If you're going to pay such a high price for a Gore-Tex item, why must you also spend an additional few hours sealing it? One reason why several backpacking instructors do not recommend using Gore-Tex is that they say Gore-Tex simply doesn't work when it gets dirty. It can be cleaned with Ivory soap to regain its unique porous properties. Washing is not extremely difficult, but you do need to excercise caution. You can't, for example, throw a Gore-Tex product into the washing machine. The point here is that virtually all camping products will quickly get dirty.

And if you don't expect to be washing your Gore-Tex product every other day on your camping trip, then what's the point in having it? NEXT: More on Gore-Tex and a well-known "natural" product that almost duplicates Gore-Tex's properties. So save your money. Readers: Your comments, questions, and experiences with Gore-Tex would be highly One hunter's bullet ended the annual saga of a wild whistling swan en route from the Great Slave Lake area of northwestern Canada to the Mid-Eastern Seaboard of Maryland and the Carolinas. The swan, a species protetced by federal and state law, made it for 1,600 miles. It flew across Lake Michigan and was approaching the western limit of the Manistee National Forest.

A shot from a deer hunter's rifle rang out. The bullet shattered the left wrist of the flying swan, damaging the control of 10 flight feathers. The wounded swan was turned over to the DNR. The swan was taken to Traverse City, where Veterinarian Bill Gelston pinioned the swan's injured wing. The whistling swan was released later on Boardman Lake, where it stayed in the upper part of the lake shunning the resident mute swans.

With the freeze-up of the lake overdue, the whistling swan was captured and transferred to the Traverse City Zoo. Once again, it stayed away from its cousins, the waterfowl residents. The swan became lethargic and concern for its future was discussed. On Dec. 10, the swan was moved to the Michigan State University Kellogg Bird Sanctuary, where it was introduced to other whistling swans.

Considering the ordeal the swan had experienced, sanctuary staffers dubbed it "Grit." "The transfer has been a success," said R.D. Van Deusen, wildlife specialist at the sanctuary. "The injured swan has settled down when placed with other swan in an open-water wintering pen. Since Grit will never be able to fly again, it is hoped it will find a mate and add new blood to the whistling swan breeding project here at the sanctuary." Van Deusen said that four years ago, a pair of whistling swans from the wilds nested at the sanctaury and produced young for three consecutive years. The breeding of the female ended when the cob male) was lost.

One of the females reared from this union paired off with another captive cob and they nested at the sanctuary last spring. One egg hatched, but the cygnet was weak and soon died. "We hope the second attempt, in 1980, will be more successful," Van Deusen said. Hopefully, Grit will be around next spring and when brought out of winter quarters, it will be released in Winter-green Lake for the public to see. The scantuary is open every day from 8 a.m.

to dusk. There is a nominal admission charge. By CHRISTOPHER NYERGES Gannett News Service In the past, one could select one of two types of fabrics for outdoor clothing, sleeping bags, and tents either a water-proofed fabric that kept the water out and kept perspiration in, or a breathable fabric that allowed body moisture to escape and thus was not waterproof. But lo and behold, a "miracle" fabric was created that was both breathable and waterproof. It was named "Gore-Tex." The Gore-Tex material, available since January 1976.

allows body vapor to pass through to the outside, yet it is waterproof to external elements. Gore-Tex, made from the same material as Teflon, has billions of tiny pores per square inch that are too small for water to enter but big enough for vapor to exit. The Gore-Tex by itself is a thin, flexible plastic-like substance that appears white and impermeable. Under ideal conditions, body heat pushes water vapor through the Gore-Tex. Theoretically, moisture doesn't condense inside the fabric and isn't absorbed into the garment.

Test results for the most part have been favorable in this area, but one should not expect miracles. Some Gore-Tex testers reported that they were drenched in their own sweat during strenuous hiking, as if they were wearing ordinary non-breathable waterproof fabric. But there are some far more serious problems with Gore-Tex; reasons that should make you think deeply before purchasing such an expensive item. Not a single Gore-Tex item on the market today that I've been made aware of) has sealed seams when you buy it. This means that at every seam where the needle sewed the garment, tent, or sleeping bag together, water This whistling swan was forced down in the Manistee National Forest during the deer hunting season and is now at the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary, under the watchful eye of R.D.

'Thinsulate' yourself this winter Skiing on powder is harder than it looks Outdoor Living Knight's Solunar Tables when to fah or hunt By CHRISTOPHER NYERGES Gannett News Service The latest advances in technology certainly affect the hiker and biker. This is because hikers and bikers are increasingly relying on lightweight and compact "space-age" materials, whether they be bike components, clothing or basic pack items. Of the new "miracle" fabrics for camping gear (Polarguard, Hollofil II, Gore-Tex), Thinsulate is the newest, having been around for nearly a year. Does Thinsulate actually insulate better than down, without the bulkiness? Thinsulate insulation is composed of fibers much smaller than competitive polyester fiberfill insulation.

In fact, in a given space, it contains almost 20 times more surface space when compared to competitive insulations. The folks at 3M who invented Thinsulate say that this greater surface area is significant because the efficiency of any insulation depends on the amount of air it can immobilize. According to 3M's scientists, everything that comes in contact with air has a layer of air molecules clinging to its surface. This is known as the boundary layer. It is held there naturally.

Since it won't move, this layer of air (known as "dead is one of the best possible insulators. Since Thinsulate has a surface area 20 times greater, there are more boundary areas of dead air. All this adds up to greater insulating name for wet snow that is not You can't tell where the heavy powder starts (at least not if you're not accustomed to powder; maybe seasoned powder skiers can see the subtle differences.) Heavy powder has the nasty trick of slowing you drastically when you least expect it. Now for the good news: if you're willing to ski relaxed, if you'll go with the flow and experience your skis rather than try to control them, you might find powder fun Remember that in powder You must carve your turn, not skid it. Skidding pushes your skis deeper into the snow, and even the lightest snow gets heavy when there's more of it.

When you carve your turn, remember that you will never be completely on your edge. The entire bottom of the ski will remain in contact with the snow. Because you already are beneath the snow, you will displace snow sort of like creating a skidding platform without skidding. By JUDITH AXLER TURNER Gannett News Service I finally skiied Western powder, and decided it's not the total ecstacy it's supposed to be. In fact, powder suffers from good press.

The problem with powder is that it calls for absolute trust and faith, and a large dose of recklessness. Skiing powder is a little like skiing blind. For one thing, you can't see your legs, your boots or your skis. You have to trust that they are there and doing all the right things. It's somewhat akin to the first time you drive a van, and are disconcerted because you don't have the frame of reference that the hood provides.

For another thing, you can't see the surface your skis are touching. You don't know if there is rock or a branch in your path. You don't know if there will be a bump or a depression, and moguls are deceptively softened. Finally, powder is not ubiquitous. It has spots of what W'estern skiers ambiguously call "heavy powder" another The schedule of Solunar Periods, as printed below, has been taken from Mrs.

Richard den Knight's SOLUNAR TABLES. Plan your days so that you will be fishing in good territory or hunting in good cover during these times, it you wish to find the best sport that each day has to offer. The Major Periods are shown in boldface type These begin at the times shown and last for an hour and a halt of two hours thereafter. The Minor Periods, shown in regular type, are of somewha shorter duration. Use Eastern Standard Time: Of course, this all sounds great on paper but does the stuff actually work? Is it really better than the best that's already available? For warmth, Thinsulate is the best.

The name comes from thin and insulate, since a thin piece of it will keep you just as warm as a lot more of the other insulators. According to 3M, and verified by the U.S. Army clothing lab, Thinsulate has twice the insulating qualities of wool or polyesters, such as Polarguard and Hollofil II. Thinsulate is 80 percent more efficient than the same thickness of down. The lack of bulk makes it a top choice when engaged in activities where bulk is undesirable (such as bicycling or skiing).

If weight is a major criteria in choosing your jacket, down (not Thinsulate) would be the best overall choice. Down is at least one-third lighter than Thinsulate. Thinsulate has some of the same qualities that made Polarguard and Hollofil II so popular they all insulate even when wet, since the fibers absorb less than one percent of their weight, and they can be safely washed in the washing machine. But both Polarguard and Hollofil II are much bulkier and heavier than either Thinsulate or down. To repeat, down is still the lightest insulator known.

But if you want to take advantage of the unique qualities of synthetic insulation, you'll probably choose between the Polarguard-Hollofil II types and Thinsulate. Possibly your pocketbook will make that final decision. But consider: Thinsulate costs not much more than Hollofil II and Polar-guard yet it is considerably lighter, slimmer in appearance and a better insulator. To date, Thinsulate has only been used in jackets. 3.M doesn't yet have a version of it that will do well in sleeping bags.

If a variety of Thinsulate is developed that does well in sleeping bags, and there is every indication that this will happen, campers will soon be able to use sleeping bags that are more compact than the most compact now available.

By JOHN NELSON The Associated Press Ski waxing seems to be a little-known art relegated to the back rooms of ski shops and sporting goods stores.

Many skiers, even the good ones, know little and have little interest in learning how to take care of their own skis. But all that's really needed is an old household iron, a $10 package of assorted varieties of wax, a metal or plastic scraper, an acetone-base cleaning solvent and a flat place to work. By the way, don't expect to use the iron for anything else once you have used it for waxing. "For Alpine skiing, basically all that wax is used for is to protect the base of the ski, which is coated with a polyethelene material similar to Teflon," says Michael (Twig) McGlvnn, 26-year-old owner of Sundog Ski and Sport in Lake Placid, N.Y. "The base of the ski can oxidize when it gets nicks and scratches in it." says McGlynn, a former racer who now does the waxing for many of the local competitors.

"Waxing not only gives you a better glide, but it protects and prolongs the life of your skis. "Sitting in the closet, the bottom of your skis get a dust film on them, but even when you're skiing you pick up grit, lift grease, mud and sand. You spend a lot of money on your equipment and you need to take care of it." McGlynn feels the average skier does not take advantage of all the free information available to him in the form of waxing workshops, conducted by many ski shops. So, in case you haven't the foggiest notion how to wax your own skis, here's an easy step-by-step The final step is to take your scraper again (use the plastic one if you have both) and scrape off the excess wax. Another money-saving tip from McGlynn: The wax you scrape off can be melted down into a lump and reused.

Also, you need to use an old spoon or some similar implement to scrape the wax out of the groove in the middle of your ski. If you have a cork buffer, you can smooth up the bottom of the ski, but it's not absolutely necessary. Also, if your edges are nicked or dull, or if you have cuts or gouges in the bottoms of your skis, it's probably best to have a pro shop straighten things out. It's less expensive than you think, anywhere from $15 to $40, depending on the severity of the damage. Some other sidelights McGlynn says there is a new wax that just came onto the market called "Fast Wax." It comes on a strip of paper and is applied much the same as an iron-on stensil.

It's being tested now by the U.S. Ski Team, but it has yet to be proven. A lot of skiers think they can apply the wax to a cold ski, just by rubbing it on the bottom. "Without heat, the wax doesn't really get into the base of the ski," McGlynn says. "It might stay on for a couple of runs, but no more.

Also, you can't mix your waxes when you apply them cold." A normal hot wax will last over the duration of a short ski trip. There are a lot of brands of wax on the market and McGlynn says some of them are pretty poor. It is best to stick to a top brand, especially one whose directions you can easily understand. "I don't really know what's in these waxes," McGlynn says. "Some people say they're 75 percent parafin.

The manufacturers are pretty closed-mouth about it." First, place your skis bottoms up on a flat surface. If there's an old wax build-up, use a scraper preferably metal) to take off the old wax. Use the acetone-based solvent to clean the ski. Then, select your wax. "The yellows usually are the most complete, broad-base wax, but all the brands are not completely uniform yet," McGlynn says.

"They're all color-coded, depending on the temperature and the humidity." Whatever brand of wax you select, there will be a color-coded diagram telling you which is best for hat conditions. Before you buy, make sure the directions are in English unless you're fluent in French or German. If you need to blend two different types of waxes say for instance a red for cold weather and a purple hardener you can either melt them together in a pot or apply the waxes simultaneously. If you chose the latter, soften one side of one of the bars against the iron to make the two stick together. Then hold the ends of the wax cakes to the iron and drip the wax over the bottom of your skis.

If you chose to run the tip of the iron along the ski, as some coaches prefer, make sure you don't hold it in one spot too long. The bottom of your ski ill burn. A wax-saving tip here. McGlynn says you can soften the ends of your wax bars on the iron, then rub the wax directly on the ski. This applies the wax more thinly and prevents waste, "but usually, it's not worth the effort," Next, run the flat part of the iron evenly and quickly over the ski to spread out the wax.

Again, don't hold the iron in one spot too long. STATE OF MICHIGAN. IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR THE COUNTY OF CALHOUN. ORDER TO ANSWER. JUNE MAY, Plaintiff, vs AUTHER MAY, Defendant.

Rugous-sided towhees have red eyes and used to be called but the ones in Florida have white eyes. In the West, they have white-spotted backs and don't say "towhee." Then, there were coast towhees brown, gray and green-tailed. In 1930, about 24 kinds were recognized. There was even one from San Clemente. Now, the taxonomists have boiled it down to four species in the U.S.: the ref-ous-sided in the East and all across the country; and Albert's, Brown and Green-tailed towhees only in the West.

All the others breed freely with one of these, so are considered a variety of one of the four. But all this confusion is man-made. Towhees don't care. Here is a bird we don't see too often. They live in bushy woods, nests well hidden, close to of on the ground, have a hard-to-locate ven-triloquistic song.

People they can do without. But scratching. That's their thing. They're the champs. Tow-hee, too-wee, drink-tea, che-wink.

It might have been any of these, but Mark Catesby, the naturalist who first encountered this bird in the Carolinas in 1731, thought the call said The American Ornithologists Union agreed, so towhee became its name. Towhees are closely related to most of our sparrows, but unlike them, the sexes are different. The male towhee is black above and white below, with rugous-sides and belly. There is some white on the wings and tail. The female is brown where the male is black.

They are about eight inches long. I watched a towhee scratching under our feeder beside a fox sparrow, champion scratcher of the sparrow tribe. Like all sparrows, foxies scratch both feet at once, but they do it better. Among a flock of white throats, they stand out in a literal cloud of debris. The towhee won hands down.

He dug deeper and scattered further than the rest of the birds under the feeder. I recalled one dry fall day when the commotion of one towhee had me expecting a flock of turkeys. Leo Purucker RCA Whirlpool Kitchen Aid Roper Ranges Eureka Hoover But something was different. This bird was a single-footed scratcher. He scratched one foot at a time, alternately, just like a chicken or a grouse.

Among the double-shuffling sparrows, the left-right action was a standout, and the towhee was eating bugs. The ground beneath our feeder is inches deep in hulls and spellings. All sorts of crawlies live in it. Sparrows scratch for the smaller bits of corn and seeds, and they get an occasional bug. The towhees were deliberately hunting meat.

Their deeper digging unearthed a host of wlgglies. Any seeds they ate were incidental. The towhees we have are "rugous-sided" ones. It was not always so. When Catesby named the tow hee, he opened a NOTICE OF MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE SALE Property at 170 Post Avenue, Battle Creek, Michigan.
