12 -- PORT PERRY STAR REAL ESTATE -- Tuesday, February 20, 1990 NESTLETON NEWS BY MABEL CAWKER Eight Cartwright Dyno Snowmobile Club members - Wayne & Elaine Bradt, Fred & Carol Cockerton, Val & Yvonne Priebe and Ed & Audrey Brown have just returned from a weeks vacation on the snowmobiles. They left from Burnt River...and travelled to Dorset, Baysville, Port Sydney, and Bracebridge...ending up at Parry Sound...covering 512 miles...leav- ing February 4 and returning Feb. 11. Each person had a saddle bag loaded with a weeks supply pack- ed inside; and for the main meals they dined out. A fantastic, en- joyable trip for all! Nestleton Afternoon U.C.W. Unit Meets The setting for the Feb. 13 meeting was the lovely, spacious home of Jean Williams in Nestleton village. A smaller at- tendance due to illness and many away in the south. Leader Mabel Cawker opened the meeting at 1:30 p.m. with a Valentine message and a warm welcome. Helen Vine acted as secretary. A worship period with a Valen- tine theme "Love & Joy" was presented by Jean Williams and Helen Vine. Hymns were read in unison and Scripture, Corinthians 15: 13 and a Psalm was read, clos- ing with Prayer. The programme was of interest taken from one of Amy Bolding's books entitled, "How many Stones does it take" by Helen, with thoughts on loving, activity, response to others, crisis and how caring are we? etc. A telephone conversation between Helen & Jean from book "Hello! Is God There?" was excellent and centered on the work of the church and the people involved. The programme closed with a reading by Helen, entitled, '"The Treasure Chest" re- children's Valentines. The roll call "My oldest treasure and its story' was well answered with lovely old antiques and treasures...and colourful stories told by the members. Thank you cards received...some with a generous donation. Minutes read by Helen and ap- proved, and treasurer Neta Fish presented the statement and a good balance given. A brief business session was held with discussion on re - the upcoming banquet, March 6, in the Com- munity Centre in Nestleton. The Presbyterial Annual meeting to be held on Wed., March 7th from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. at Trinity United Church in Bowmanville. (Any member wishing to attend give the General President Jean Williams a call - 986-4788). The World Day of Prayer - Friday, March 2, at 2 p.m. at Nestleton Presbyterian Church. 6 calls were reported for Feb. and quite a number of used stamps and labels were on hand for Presbyterial. Meeting closed with Benediction...and a tasty lunch was served by conveners Jean & Helen, and a social hour was enjoyed. Marion Hall gave the appreciation to those in charge of meeting. Nestleton Presbyterian Church With a smaller congregation in attendance, Feb. 18, 11 a.m. the morning church service was con- ducted by Rev. Wm. Fairley, with Russell Brown and George Scott welcoming at the door. Tweens dominate Pickering This past Sunday saw the return of the Provincial Tween "A" team, sponsored by Allens Siding Products. This was the girls first C.O.R.L. playoff game and they came out well recovered from the numerous injuries of 2 weeks ago. Karen Kett and Amy Parlia- ment took care of all the scoring with 3 goals each and 2 assists each. Shannon Fox had 2 assists as did Kim Poppleton and one for Michelle Fitzpatrick who filled in on defense with Jennifer Morden and Kim. The girls dominated this game all the way and with the support of Tracy Pelow between the pipes, Pickering never had a chance, as Tracy made some stops that are normally seen in the N.H.L.. There were only 2 injuries pick- ed up in this game, a re-occuring one to Shannon Fox who continues to be plagued with a bad knee, and an injury to Tammy Pillman back. Tammy had hurt her back the day before, but was determin- ed this was not going to keep her out of the game. This weekend the girls meet Pickering again for a 3 game total point series in Brooklin. The win- ner will have to play '""AA' in the All Ontario finals in March. Although the competition will be fierce, you never want to count these girls out as they can play with the best of them. The girls had a very impressive year and out of 14 league games, they win 9, lost 1 and tied 4, for a total of 22 points. They scored 81 goals, and Tracy only let in 39, for a game average of 2-8. Well done Tracy. All this was accomplished while we spent 102 minutes in the penal- ty box. They were not the most penalized team as Etobicoke took this title and Ajax and Pickering were right behind us. This is a team the coaching staff is very proud of. Over 4 years, they have worked hard, and overcame some very big obstacles. Their toughest test is yet to come and we're certain they will meet the challenge. We'll let you know next week.

Fairley spoke on the Mystery of Communication - The Christian Faith cannot be explain- ed in the same way as rules of grammar or the principles of mathematics. There must be a desire to respond in faith and obe- dience to the word of God as revealed in the love of Jesus. Welcome Home We welcome back from the sun- ny south, Lawrence and Gwen- dolyn Malcolm of Nestleton, who returned home on Saturday, Feb. 17, after an extended holiday in Florida. They enjoyed golfing, swimming, shuffleboard and many other interests...to make it a great holiday! Family members were on hand to welcome them on Sunday at their home. Dennis & Laina and fami- ly, David & Joanne and family and Glenn & Arlene and girls! A real family party! Community Church Caesarea On a bright sunny morning, Feb. 18, at 11 a.m. Caesarea Com- munity Church met with an average congregation. Rev. Dr. W.H. Crawford's theme was "Whiter Than Snow" from Isaiah I: 18 and Psalm 51: 7. Snow covers up pollution, dirt and ugliness. It changes the face of the earth to a thing of beauty and cleanliness. This is what David. asked God to do for him. He wanted his sins to be forgiven so that he was made clean again. His appeal to God was "Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." Dana Gibbons read the first lesson and Frank Arney the se- cond lesson. Kathleen Watts was the organist. Sympathy Extended Deeply saddened to hear of the death of Caroline Naples of Port Perry, and our heartfelt sym- pathy goes out to her mother Dorothy Naples of Port Perry, and Caroline's daughter Karen & husband Tim Nicholls of Brighton. A very out-going and friendly person... Caroline will be sadly missed by many relatives and good friends. Nestleton United Church On a lovely Sunday morning, Feb. 18, 11:15 a.m. Nestleton United saw an average atten- dance with Marion Hall extending the welcome at the door. The church congregation welcomed Mrs. Joyce McLean...who hails from Picker- ing Village United Church...to the pulpit. Joyce is also a member of the Oshawa Presbytery. She used as her text - Isaiah 49: 8-13 & I Dyno members return from 512 mile trek Corinthians 3: 10, 11, 16 - 23 read by Glenn Malcolm. She based her meditation on "Trust In God." She presented an interesting story to the Sunday School re - "The Power of Love." The Ladies quartet...Kay, Janice, Regenia and Shirley, sang nicely, "Tell Everyone You Know" with Carol Mairs at the piano. Arnold Williams & Ken Weir received the offering. The beautiful flower on the Altar was placed in loving memory of Grahame Fish by his wife Neta. This fine service closed with the great old hymn "The Church's One Foundation" by Samuel Sebastian Wesley - 1810 - 1876. Benediction & Three Fold Amen. Family Concerns Recent visitors at the Cawker Farm, Scugog Pt., were Curtis Cawker, Cobourg, Grant Cawker and friend John Sharpe, Oshawa, Arthur Cawker, Sudbury, and Ralph Cawker and friend Dianne Riccio and son Jake of Scarborough. Sam & Mabel Cawker, Scugog Pt. Rd., enjoyed a tasty lunch with Alan and Eleanor Cawker of Oshawa just recently. The Sam Cawkers also had a good visit with David and Regenia Walker, Avril & Kyle, Scugog Point, on Sunday, Feb. 11. It was a pleasure to meet once again...Herbert & Eugenia Hill of Whitby, Regenia's parents. A thought: Yesterday is a cancelled cheque...today a pro- misary note...and tomorrow...let us use our cash wisely! Historical Society meeting to feature Paul Arculus photos SCUGOG ISLAND NEWS BY MRS. EARL READER From time to time you may have noticed misspelling of some words in this column or even literary mistakes and wonder why this should happen. But perhaps most will understand, when they remember the great responsibility of a publisher who, with the conscientious staff, tries to prepare, and produce a paper within a limited time. I'd say they do a great job. Last week we were so pleased to see a fine picture of John and Mabel Sweetman who dedicated most of their lives to the com- munity of Scugog Island. We note * that they look well and wish to add our congratulations for their 65th wedding anniversary. We certain- ly miss them. We understand the Lake Scugog Historical Society has planned another interesting meeting for this Thursday at 8 p.m. at the Borelia Community Centre, in the Port Perry Plaza area near 7A, just off Carnegie St.. This time Paul Arculus, who is very in- terested in historical places and facts, will show his lovely pictures of the cathedrals in England. Anyone is welcome to see them. We promised you a wonderful day at the Hall on Saturday and Correction An article in last week's Port Perry Star about Minor Softball contained an error. It should have read that registration this year for Port Perry Minor Softball will be $25 per player, or $656 per family registering three or more players. the mothers of Cubs and Beavers certainly did their best. but the weather did not co-operate and discouraged many, hopeful pur- chasers. However, many people had another chance Sunday mor- ning after Service at the Island United Church. The ladies of the Women's In- stitute will hopefully have good weather for their meeting on Wednesday night. Perhaps you will remember, back in 1981 when a young, mar- ried woman recieved much physical damage from a car ac- cident and was hospitalized for weeks when many people feared she could never recover to any degree. However, many people dedicated time to her with therapy. They even continued long after she was moved to the therapy wing of the Whitby Hospita] where she showed some improvement. Perhaps her staun- chest friend was Mrs. Roy Walker Smith who suddenly passed away. But many other people continued until today, when help has dwindl- ed. However Roy Walker Smith goes down every Tuesday, though she still can't talk, she has shown progress in movement. That's a very long time and requires so much courage. Last week we were sorry to lose another life-long resident when Percy Jeffrey passed away after a short period in the Nursing Home. We all convey our sym-. pathy to his wife, Dorothy, and members of his family. The Island people also convey sympathy to former resident John Reader now of Whitby, as his wife passed away last week. Flowers at the Island United Church on Sunday were in memory of Percy Jeffrey. While we lose some residents by death, we occasionally lose a whole family by a decision to move to another area. Thus it is with John and Debbie Davis and their two sons who are getting close to March 1, when they move a considerable distance west. For this reason, the congrega- tion of the Island United Church took the opportunity to call them forward on Sunday morning to ac- cept words of appreciation for their work in the community and church and to accept a gift. The congregation of the Island United Church has issued a re- quest for people to offer themselves in any area in which they are interested. They haven't forgotten a need for men bass singers or other men in the choir. Of course, women are always welcome too. DUE TO SHORTAGE OF SPACE some of this week's sports reports have been held over until next week
