A big upset in the eighth round made Paul's task easier. Woodley, who was strongly in contention for first place, faced Doug Gravells of Calgary, who had lost every game up to that point. You can guess what happened. Gra PETS Judges tough on bird dogs By Joan Colbourn Last weekend two field dog tests for upland gamebird dogs were held at Mountain Provincial Wildlife Area, between Winchester and Kemptville, just off Highway 43. The test Saturday was put on by the German Shorthaired Pointer Club of Eastern Ontario.

The following day's test was set up by the Ottawa Valley All-Setter Association. Of the dozen or so entries Sunday, not one of them obtained a high-enough rating to have that day's run count toward a field dog test award. On the face of it, (hat sounds awful. Everybody came, nobody won. In fact, it was good judging.

A standard of performance has been set. None of the dogs on that day measured up to the requirements needed to pass the test. This strictness helps to assure that when you see a upland gamebird dog (setter, pointer, visla, Weimaraner or Brittany spaniel) with the letters F.D. following its name, you know the dog has proven ability to perform the field function in good style. The judges who assessed these dogs uprp Turn Pntmnrc (if linoctnn nnH Penny Kressler-Willers, a former Ot-tawan- The fine Sahiki owned by Heather Loube of Almonte, Canadian Champion Talluhamra Farik Amira, won best of breed at the big Finger Lakes Kennel Club at Ithaca.

Today and tomorrow, there are field trials at Mountain Provincial Wildlife Area, between Winchester and Kemptville, just off Highway 43. This is for wide-ranging field dogs which should be watched from astride a horse.

Of all the stars they are the 4th and 5th bnghtest Arcturus is a lovely golden yellow star. Vega shines like a blue-white diamond. They look different because they are different types of stars. It is easy to find Arcturus this month. The bnghtest star in the summer sky.

Indeed it is probably because of its position in relation to Ursa Major that the star has its name for Arcturus means "watcher of the Located 36 light years from earth it is one of a class of low density, low temperature "Giant Stars" that are brighter than normal stars of the same spectral type because they are much larger.

Women chess players are seen all too rarely in Canada only two per cent of our competitive players are women. Certain men react strangely when they lose a game of chess to a woman.

The pnncipal star in the kite-shaped constellation Bootes (pronounced B6-6Ltez). it was one of the earliest stars to be named. Vega, on the other hand, is roughly twice as hot as the sun, is somewhat larger and more massive, less dense and more luminous. Its light takes 26.5 years to reach us. The brightest star in Lyra, a tiny constellation representing the mythological harp invented by Hermes and given to Orpheus by Apollo.

Vega has been called the "Harp the "Fallen Vulture" (by ancient Arabs) and probably because of its prominence, the "Arc-light of the Vega is of particular interest for a couple of reasons. About 12.000 years ago it was the Pole Star and will once again mark the position in the sky toward which the earth's axis points about the year 14.000 A O. It is also near the spot in space toward which the sun and solar system are moving a position referred to as "the Apex of the Suns To find your way around the summer sky took first tor Arcturus and Vega. then locate the nearby stars and constellations shown on the map. CHESS given up chess when met with this reaction upon winning a game from a man.

As an encouragement to women who are fascinated by chess, I would add -that the stronger players have trained themselves to look more dispassionately at the result win, loss or draw of a game. So, as you progress in chess skill, you are likely to meet wounded pride less often. Conversely, a woman who gets- past such an experience will learn the valuable trait in chess of lack of concern for the opponent's feelings in defeat. In chess, no quarter is asked, and no quarter is gijrai. It may seem cruel, but chess is a battle where loser leaves the battlefield perhaps a little wiser, not injured PLANETS: All five bright planets are In the evening sky early in June.

Spring bird watch reveals 167 species By Monty Brigham Last Sunday the Ottawa Field Naturalist's Club organized a big day for counting birds in the area within a 30-mile radius of the the Peace Tower. Teams were assigned to four natural regions, separated by the Ottawa River (north-south) and the Gatineau and Rideau rivers (east-west).

The southeast area team headed by Roger Foxall tallied 148 species of birds. At Green Creek sewage lagoon; Roger Foxall and Don Lafontaine had one ruddy turnstone and a pair of white-rumped sandpipers. In the Winchester region, Arnet Sheppard and Ron Harcourt found six Wilson's pha-laropes and one northern phalarope. Not counted Along with the phalaropes, there was a pair of shorebirds that strongly resemble Western sandpipers. The field marks include black legs, a down-curved bill and a rufous-red color on the head and back.

But because of the rarity of western sandpipers here in spring and the inexperience of the observers with this particular species, the bird was not counted. John Kelly explored the Vincent Massey Park area and turned up one yellow-billed cuckoo and one orange-crowned warbler. Out at his banding location near the airport, Richard Poulin caught two gray-cheeked thrushes. Furthermore, he discovered two nests of short-eared owls containing seven and five young respectively. Not since the 1950s has this owl been so abundant in the Ottawa Valley.

Three-toed woodpecker In the Rockcliffe Park area, Roger Foxall and Don Lafontaine tracked down the black-backed three-toed woodpecker that has been lingering behind. In the northeast, a respectable 112 species of birds were noted. The best bird was a bald eagle found by Langis Sirois. That region from Masson to Black Bay along the Ottawa River has always had a lot of carp. Hence it's a good feeding area for bald eagles and ospreys.

Jim Ginns saw a male golden-winged warbler. A few years ago this warbler was locally very rare but now can been seen every spring. North of Buckingham, Hue MacKen-zie and Jo Ann Murray heard the CEPHEUS CYGNUS it Deneb LYRA .4 Altair HERCULES OPHIUCHUS Antares 7 White to play and win "fitt-bew" song of the. willow flycatcher. Roger Taylor headed the group in the northwest.

A count of 115 species from this part of Quebec is very good. Ian Jqnes carefully identified an Arctic tern at Lac Deschenes just west of the rapids. At Lac Philippe the established colony of golden-winged warblers has at least five singing males. Bruce Dilablo and his group in the southwest found 140 species of birds. Some of their notable discoveries included one horned grebe, one long-eared owl and 11 red crossbills.

The 1980 spring bird count, as a whole was a success, considering the windy conditions. On Sunday, 167 species were accounted for on Sunday Valley teams miss Canadian playoffs By Norm Hall In two weeks, 13 teams from across Canada will meet in Toronto to determine a winner in the Canadian National Teams Championship. Eastern Ontario came very close to producing at least one of the competitors but unfortunately, in the final round of a double knockout tournament In Montreal, both of our squads lost out to strong Montreal teams and failed to qualify.
