These birders have a yearly, list that outdistances mny life- imie record by quite a numii-ber. They travel over the entire province for listings, and keep in 'contact witb a telephione bot line for infor- mnation of any unusal bird that miay be seen and record- ed.

The move came after receiving a staff report in' which it was pointed out if al Catbolic students now atten- ding grade'nine in the public school system changed over to Catbolic, High schools enrolment could-drop almost ten percent. The staff report however 'aid that siich predictions were an exercise of specula- tion and estimation. Premier Bill Davis an- nounced June l3th that separate scbools would be given full funding for al grades instead of being cut off after grade !l0as' presently exists. The new system is to be in effect for 1985. The staff report said if al C'atholic grade niiner now in the system moved to separate ig.h schools it would reduce the Northumberland and Newcastle teaching staff by nine teachers. Such a reduction would af- fect decisions on programa of- ferings, accommodation, staffing, transportation, ad- ministration and other facets of the overaîl operation of the secondary school system. the experienced bird watcbers from Pickering and to say the least it was something Bill and 1 don't expect to see for sometime to corne. The Second Marsh is an in- teresting place and the habitat it does provide is well wýorth saving. To this end we mliUst congratulate Jim Richards for his dedicatien anýd years of untiring work in achieving, what at time must haive scemed an impossible It will be there for others to The board bas decided to have discussions with the Peterborough-V7ictoria-Nor- thumberland and Newcastle separate school board when more information on the change is made knowni. The local board will also convene a meeting of trustees, board administra- tion and the bigh school teacber's union to discuss the situation.
