14 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 29, 1978 Section Two Opens Art Gallery in Oshawa Brad Clemens. Ed Osborne scored the winning goal unas- sisted on the power play, similar to Erwin's goal as he rushed end to end but deked the Lindsay goaltender in- stead of shooting. From this point on our Toros controlled the game with Steve Cary scoring his second goal assist- ed by Scott Hillier and Mike Stocker. With less than a, minute remaining Ed Osborne made a good setup pass and Scott Hillier made little mis- take drilling it home ending the game at 6-3. There was a good lesson to be learned from this game as the Lindsay players and management lost their minds early in the second costing them many penalties and also the game. Playing well in Toros net was Paul Adams and also playing well were our defence pairs of Ed Osborne and Peter Herron and Rick Erwin and Mike Stocker. LET S GET GROWING! McGregor Hardware Toros TEST TUBE BABY Yes that's right, we now have test tube baby plants, this is a new and revolutionary method of 'reproduction in plants. It all started in the orchid growing operations in California, where they had problems to produce clean disease free plants in quanti- ties for the commercial market. The "Einstien" of this method is Dr. Toshio Murashige, a scientist at the University of California at Riverside, who for the past 22 years has worked on this pioneering research. The above phrase of Test Tube Baby is of course catchy to say the least, in the horti- cultural trade this type of reproduction is called tissue culture, this is the art of growing plants in test tubes (or other glass containers) in a stërile environment from a tiny bit of tissue (which in the trade is called an explants) will produce thousands of disease, fungus and virus free plants, which are grown in less time, less space for production and of course a tremendous savings in maintenance and labor. It is estimated that in time when this type of operation is in full with Harry VanBelle swing that we will be able to grow plants in a third of the time and at about half the cost. At the moment there are about 75 to 100 of these labs in the United States, from California to Florida and in the North mainly in Michigan. When we were in California a couple of years ago, going through some of the Orchid Ranges they were already using this tissue culture for reproduction, which is particularly important for orchids' produc- tion, that the bloom and the size of the bloom is consistent, and by using this type of reproduction each one will be identical in size, bloom color, and of course the quality will be the same as the mother plant (leaf). Another advantage with the tissue culture is the fact that new introductions of plants, or improvements on certain plants will be on the market in quantities in a very short time. This opens up a whole new thought process when thinking in terms of growing plants, even to the extent that we may have an over produc- tion of trees and plants when the new "Super plants" of tomorrow will be here today. (#IOo TWIIIpeRiITe 1 le WhRin'b Excitin gàQme One of our suppliers of perennials will probably have some varieties of perennials available for the trade next year. The first company to start production for the retail trade is the Ogelsby Nursery in Hollywood, Florida, where they can hold up to 70,000 test tubes at one time, and these can produce as many as 3 to 6 million plants per year, this is one of the 15 labs of various sizes in the State of Florida. Everything in the lab is absolutely clean and sterile, lab technicians spray their hands with a 70 per cent alcohol solution every time they start on another step of production, visitors are requested to remove their shoes before entering the lab, but are not allowed in the actual part where the work is done or where the equipment is kept. To facilitate visitors to see the operation, large windows were installed so that visitors can see the whole operation behind glass. It seems that we live in a changing world where a small piece of leaf can produce thousands of new plants, and where not too many years ago we talked about food It was a very exciting game to watch, with good hockey played by both teams. Whitby scoring three goals, two in the first period, one in the second. The Bulls bounced back and scored four goals, two in the second and two in the third period to make the game 4 to 3 for Bowmanville, then it happened. The referee called a 2 minute tripping penalty on No. 9 of the Toros, Mike Knight, at 13:14 in the third period. A very bad call on the referee's part, but that's hockey, I guess, then another penalty Margot Samuel at the opening of her art gallery. After working several years as an art historian and lecturer for the Oshawa Art Gallery, Bowmanville resi- dent Margo Samuel has open- ed a gallery of her own. Located in the industrial section of Oshawa on 899 Nelson St., the Margot Samuel Gallery will feature the work of local and internationally known artists. Budget-conscious gift- givers who are searching for that unusual Christmas gift may find what they're looking for at the Gallery next week. The work of local artists such as Laurine Sage, Janet McGhee, Don Staples, Sue Tabuchi, Jane Eccles, photo- grapher Neil Newton and many others will be on sale Sunday, December 3 until Saturday, December 23. All works will be framed suitable for gift giving. Dutchman Major Bantams Split Four Recent Games On Monday, Nov. 6 Bow- manville Flying Dutchman Motor Inn Major Bantail s played Oshawa Charterways in a regular scheduled game at Darlington Sports Centie. There wasn't any scoring in the first period even though our Toros had thé better of the scoring opportunities. In the second, Oshawa caie on and scored four unanswer- ed goals, three of the$e coming when our boys seemed completely disorgan- ized and also in less than one minute of play. The Oshawa goal scorers were Robrt Holtforster with a pair and Brad Vaughan and Bill Bradly one each. The score didn't reflect the play in this game as it was the goal posts which kept our boys from keeping it much closer, as we rang them four times. Ajax 7, Bowmanville 4 On Tues., Nov. 7 our Toros travelled to Ajax who are unbeaten in league play. Halfway through the first period Ajax went ahead on a goal by Lepine. Our boys checked and skated hard and with just 25 seconds left, tied the game on a good passing play from Ed Osborne to' Barry Cullen with Bill Ho- garth driving the puck into the net. Ajax came back with 2 goals, early in thesecond by Furlotte and Branton. Two minutes after Ajax's second goal, Toros defenceman Mike Stocker blasted a shot past the Ajax netminder after taking a pass from Steve Cary. Late in the period Ajax scored on a penalty shot by Branigan. This caused our boys to ease up a bit and Bush for Ajax scored with less than a minute left to end the period at 5-2 for Ajax. Toros came out flying in the third and within a minute Bill Hogarth had collected his second goal of the night set up by Darcy Cummings. It looked as if Toros were going to close the gap but a second penalty shot goal to Branigan seem- ed to turn the momentum in Ajax's favor. Still trying hard 'foros came back with a goal by Barry Cullen assisted by Mike Stocker and Darcy Cummings. With six minutes remaining Furlotte got his second goal of the game for Ajax. This ended the scoring at 7-4 for Ajax. This was the first game the Toros had all players giving 100 per cent or better, which is a real good sign of what could be in store for this team in the future. Bowmanville 6, Lindsay 3 On Sun., Nov. 12 our Toros played Lindsay in Lindsay. In the first period it looked as if Lindsay were going to run Bowmanville out of the rink and they came out of the period with a 2-0 lead on a pair of goals by John Bergs. Early in the second Shippel put Lindsay in front 3-0. Less than a minute later Toros got their first goal scored by Rob Kennett assisted bv Chris Dyck and John Klompmaker. With 8 minutes remaining and Toros on the power play Rick Erwin carried the puck end to end and drove a blistering shot past the Lindsay goaltender. This ended the scoring in the second at 3-2 for Lindsay. Playing with confidence in themselves, in the third Dutchman's Motor Inn boys tied the score on a good shot by Steve Cary assisted by BRUCE TAYLOR TO THE VOTERS IN WARD I Town of Newcastle I thank you for your support in the recent Municipal Election.

Don't worry boys, we'll take them next time. Peter Hughes exploded, stick handling through five Whitby players to score the first goal unassisted, Guy Lafleur couldn't have done any better. Then, Mark Hickey scored, assisted by defenceman Warren Short. Third goal was picked up by Jay Kelly, assists going to Kelly Balson and Chris Moroz, then hard working Dan Moriarity got the last goal for Bowmanville assisted by Ed Paradis and Greg Martin. There were six penalties in the game, three to the Toros. It was a superb team effort by our boys, some very good passing, stick handling and hard hitting. Todd Balson again came up big in net for the Toros stopping some hard ones, Mike Knight, Ian Wheelock, Mark Smith also playing a top brand of hockey.
