On Friday, February 5, 1982, Durham Regional Police charged the accused; Maria Frances Baker, 46, of R.R. No. 2, Bowmanville, her daughter Shirley Ann, 18, and Shane Warren Schade, also of R.R. 2, Bowmianville with conspiracy of making threatening telephone calls to a local high school. These charges were laid after Bowmanville High School was evacuated due to a bomb scare which was telephoned into the school. The Durham Regional Police and Staff who checked the school, did not find any bomb while the school was evacuated. Those accused in connýec- tion with the bomib scare at the High School, have trial dates set for Tuesday, March 2nd. 1982. Would like to know stausof hospital By: Wendy Procher Councillor Tom Edwards of the Durham Region District Health Council is very concerned as to the in- tent of the Provincial Government regarding fur- ther- facilities at the Psychiatric Hospital. CÇonstruction of new, facilities was promised te begin in the early 1980's with the demolition of the present building constructed in 1916. It is noted that the present- buildings are fîre hazards and the patient accomodations are inadequate. The plan for re- construction was first an- nounced in 1979, and was reported one year later. A promised amouint for this project was $27 million. Fdwards hias been prying away at getting things rolling and has finally succeeded in influencing the Health Coun- cil to send a letter to Premier Bill Davis, asking when re- construction is due to begin. Councillor Gerry Emm, pointed out that a definite committment regarding thé expansion of the hospital would help Whitby's efforts to bring in a Port Whitby sewer. At the present time, the staff -of the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital are awaiting the final report for mental health policy on situa- tions such as the niumrber of beds and services, made by the executive co-ordinate. An apprerximation of $230,000 is thle expected cost for the overaîl projeci.

This year, we have major door prizes to be given away. They included trips for two, a week-end for two at the Inn on the Park, Toronto, a Royal Doulton Figurine. Fur- ther details we be released at a later date. Diaytime Owls Woods, Water and Wildlife By: Ron Reid- Federation of Ontario Naturaists Ontario's "birds of prey" are often grouped into two general types - the daytime - hunting hawks, and the night-hunting owls. Most of us picture owls as the silent killers of the night, swooping out of the darkness on some unsuspecting mouse spotted by their extraordinary night vision. Many people stili in- correctly believe that owls can't see in the d[aylight. In fact, at least two or out cofn- mon owls do their hunting during the day. On a recent visit to a rural area of snowy fields and scat- tered trees, 1 saw both these species in the samne after- noon. The first was the short- eared owl, a crow-sized bird whose awkward, moth-like flight first attracted my atten- tion. As it grew dloser, the buffy undersides of the wings, with a black patch on each elbow, provided positive identification. Though a bird of the open country and easi- ly seen, short-eared owls are feared to be declining in re- cent years. My other day-time o wl was more unusual. The hawk owl is appropriately named, for at first glance it looks much like a larger version of the common sparrow hawk. Drîving slowly along a road where hawk owl had been reported, I was suddenly passed by a falcon-like bird winging straight across the fields. It pounced on a mouse, came Iow across the field again, and swooped up- wards to the very tip of an oak to) feast on its meal. Ob- viously, the vision of a hawk owl is very keen, for it had spotted that mouse from a full quarter-mile away! Hawk owls are birds of the northern muskeg, where they favour perches on the bare re- mains of dead trees. Fattened by the mice of the sphagnumr bogs, they nest in old woodpecker holes or on the rotting wood of a dead stub. At first glance, their reseniblance to a hawk is striking. Hawl owls even jerk their tails when sitting upright, much like the coin- mon kestral. But a close look at the roundced face, framed by handsome black sidebars, identifies this as one of the most exotic of Canada's owls. of Orono Brings to you a Qualified Beauty Advisor Oh Thursday and Friday February 18, 1982 To Teach You European Skin Care Free Facials and Free Advice Free Eye Shadow or Lipstick with Any Purchase Over $40.00.
