European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 20, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse Sunday May 20, 1990 the stars and stripes a a a Page 25 outdoor adventure shoot now go out there and Hunt Many prospective Hunters have recently finished Usa eur Hunting courses and received their examination certificate qualifying them for a German Hunting License. My congratulations to you who have taken that first step toward what should be exciting adventures in the outdoors. What a next will you obtain your License and wait for the Hunting opportunities to suddenly appear getting the License is easy but instant opportunities to Hunt May not be so easy unless you already know someone who will help you get started. But done to worry. If you done to know any Hunters Well enough yet done to despair. It was your own initiative that got you through the Hunting course and it will help you Start Hunting. Sometimes it can be easy to dream up obstacles but they can be overcome. No Hunting gun Don t speak German these considerations Are important but they should not be allowed to Dampen your desire to Hunt. If you done town a Hunting firearm the Rod and gun clubs and German Hunting stores have a variety for Sale. You can look Forward to a frustrating yet enjoyable experience when selecting that first Hunting Rifle. The gun Field in Europe is wide and offers Superb Quality for a Choice that May last a lifetime. It May seem difficult to find a source of information since each person consulted will offer different advice. But the gabbing and Bull sessions that go with your search for information will soon become part of the fun and help you come to some sort of decision. My first suggestion to any new Hunter in Germany is to avoid the idea of buying a drilling a that famous combination Rifle double barrel Shotgun owned by so Many German Hunters. The drilling is a classic Hunting gun with consider Mark Swearengen Able versatility but it has disadvantages. Its heavy and May be simply More gun than you need. It s fairly expensive. Although my first successful Hunt for Deer was with a borrowed drilling some years ago. I still done town one. Id say the drilling is probably for the Hunter with nearly As Many guns in the closet As years of experience who like so Many of us really has no need for another firearm. There Are Many Standard Hunting rifles available in Europe made by the Best american and european manufacturers. Rod and gun clubs and Hunting stores on the Economy offer firearms made by Remington Winchester Sako Mauser steer and Sauer. Calipers Range from .222 to .458 magnum. Many Hunters favor a Rifle of the Bolt action variety. Then there Are some enthusiasts who go for the Kipp auf Brcak Brucch Type by such gun makers As Blasser Merkel and Franz Sodia. These tend to be More expensive and they arc favourites of european Hunters. You should consult several references before coming to a decision. Libraries carry books on Hunting guns. I also suggest obtaining Cata logs from two major sporting companies a Franconia Jagd. Postrach 67 80, 8700 Wurzburg 1 and Eduard Kuttner Postrach 10 11 65, 5000 Kiln 1. Their Cata logs Are free and contain Good reference material. Choosing the proper scope and mount is also part of the fun. Some of the Best arc made in Europe. Names such As Kahles. Schmidt und Bender Zeiss and Nickel will be mentioned in discussions on Rifle Scopes. They re All Good. Mounting should be done by a professional Gunsmith. There arc some Superb mounts available including the steer and Franconia Schwnk mounts and the Suhler Pinhak mount. These allow easy removal and remounting of the scope while maintaining a Good Zero. So ask questions and enjoy your search for a Good Hunting firearm. You think language might be a problem Don t worry about that either. Many american Hunters Start with no knowledge of German italian or Spanish. Many Start with All the apparent disadvantages of being new to the system but through some Basic initiative they gel along Fine. Many German Hunters and foresters speak some English and you la find yourself learning some German a that a also part of the fun. And if you just look around you la find some american Hunters who will help you in various ways to get started because americans tend to be that Way.

A we started to make foolish mistakes turnovers. I think 3-2 was the turning Point of the hockey one key was the goal ending. Bill Ranford again played a Strong game in goal for the oilers making 25 saves. For a change Moog did not. A a he a been playing so Well for us All year Quot Bostons Garry Galley said of Moog who along with Reggie Lemelin led the Bruins to the Jennings trophy As the no la Stop defensive team. A a he la be Back and we will play some great hockey in Edmonton. The first two goals tonight were not his Adam Graves who scored the first goal in Edmonton a 3-2 triple overtime win in game 1, did it again this time with a 45-fool slap shot at 8 38 of the first period. Just like the first game the Bruins generally outplayed the oilers in the first period and still trailed. The Bruins held a 10-2 advantage in shots after the first 20 minutes and the oilers held a 2-1 advantage in goals. In the second period the Bruins out shot the oilers 12-9 but wound up trailing 6-2 after Kerri Craig Simpson Esa Tikkanen and Joe Murphy scored following Hawgood a Early Power play goal a for us to look up at the 30-minute Mark and be behind was virtually unthinkable a Milbury said. A we dominated every facet of the the rout was the worst in the Stanley cup finals since 1985, when the oilers beat Philadelphia 8-3 in game 5. Editor s note the following refer to comments made by Rodney Holman tight end of the Cincinnati bengals who toured Germany last month dear Rodney Holman my three Page letter taking exception to your pejorative remarks about teachers has been scrapped for a few Short paragraphs. 1. Smart Choice of jobs a administration is where the Money Little enough is. 2. Fortunately the Days of ill prepared principals Are Over. You will have to teach in a classroom before entering administration. 3. Classroom experience will show you the realities of teaching. Did you know that education begins in the Home uninterested or uninformed parents will give you bored and hostile students. 4. You will realize that the Only possible Means for anyone becoming a teacher is love for the children Ana Pride in their accomplishments. You Arentt going to get Rich. You Arentt going to get much respect. 5. Only from the classroom Vantage Point will you be Able to Quot get inside Quot a teacher s mind and heart and spirit that arc sorely tried by students parents and administration. 6. Being an administrator Isnit like coaching a football team. Teachers Are caring individuals who arc forgotten As often As they Are censured. A football team May lose but that big fat Check will Cushion the blow. 7. You la find that if you care too much your heart will break. The spirit does too. Maybe that a Why when the �?o9-5&Quot syndrome takes Over a it will save you from the stress related diseases. You can to afford to be sick you know 8. Invest your Money now so you can live in the style to which you have become accustomed. Or do you think you will be Able to live the same Way on a principals salary 9. It is to be hoped that the arrogance your remarks reveal will be tempered by a year or two in the classroom. If you find you were mistaken in your judgments no apology required. Just you be the kind of teacher you expect others to be. Ruth Hock Erlanger West German More tackling of Holman dear editor your article of april 21 entitled a Holman Ameri sports letters can kids in trouble incorrectly identifies Rodney Holman As speaking to the students of Wiesbaden High school. Actually Garin Ucris of the new England patriots and Joey Browner of he Minnesota i kegs spoke to the students Here. The purpose of this letter is to refute Holman a comments on the teaching profession that he expressed m the article. His inane remarks on teachers and then Lime of Entrance into the teaching profession simply amazes us. Although most of us at Wiesbaden High school began our leaching careers Back in the �?T50s and �?T60s, Quot when teachers used to come out of school and teach because they enjoyed according to Holman we take offence at his comment that Quot teachers came out in the mid-70s because they did t marry the Rich kid in teachers Here As Well As worldwide go into teaching because they enjoy leaching. They survive in today a classrooms unless they did. Teachers in the �?T70s did not Quot Settle for leaching As Holman so states. It is or. Holman s opinion that teachers today have the wrong attitude. We the teachers at Wiesbaden High school believe that or. Holman has the wrong attitude. Or. Holman should not consider education administration As his next career. His negative Altitude toward teachers expressed in this interview with Walt Morrissette clearly indicates that he could not be the kind of educational Leader we sorely need in today s schools. Indeed we wonder Why the department of defense Ever agreed to have any person talk with Dodds students who has such a dearly negative attitude of teachers. We strongly urge or. Holman to pursue another career when his football Days Are Over. Perhaps he has been playing football without a helmet too Long. The two football players namely Garin Vens and Joey Browner who spoke to the students at Wiesbaden High school clearly gave another message to the students and teachers with comments such As Quot listen to your teachers throughout their talks. They stressed the students responsibility for doing Well in school. We need everyone a a support to educate today a youth. We done to need the Holmans of the world in school administration.
