Flu Bug Hits Yelverton Yelverton News by EL Malcolm With almost one half of January January gone by, to date it has been a most exceptional month.. The unscasonal mild temperatures coupled with drab dreary Novcmbcr-likc weather has provided a climate conducive to the flu bug which has been prevalent in the area. The current variety seems more persistent than normal, recurring over and over again. Even our winter birds have had to adjust to the changing weather pattern. Our bird feeders feeders arc visited daily by the colourful colourful if noisy group of blue- jays. The obvious "King of the Castle" is the male Hairy Woodpecker who rules the roost in company with his mate and the occasional visit by a pair of smaller Downy Woodpeckers. Woodpeckers. A dozen or more field Sparrows Sparrows call almost daily to check the area beneath the feeders for tidbits. Large flocks of Goldfinch 25-30 in number drop in every day or so and brighten up the area with their colourful winter dress and cheery chatter. One individual stands out with a single long all white tail feather. feather. The mourning Doves fly in a covey in one early morning area around dusk, picking up what the others have scattered and blend in most unconspi- ciously on the drab background of grass and tree roots. Every once and a while a bevy of noisy supcraclive starlings starlings flock in to clean up all the surplus food scattered about. That just about concludes concludes our bimonthly Bird report report here at Malconia. Other "early Birds" noticed arc our Municipal Road Crew who arc out repairing our Township roads with Cold Mix - a job not usual possible in January. Pretty quiet this week socially socially in our vicinity. A number number of local residential changes have taken place recently - folks arc moving from here to there like a checkerboard game. Much has been written and ■ portrayed on T.V. about the expulsion expulsion of 3 Canadian M.P.'s from China to Hong Kong in a rather brusque manner. Unfortunately Unfortunately I have no sympathy for these "do-gooders" sticking their noses into the internal affairs affairs of another country. When we Canadians can set ourselves up as being "lily-white" in the treatment of our own minority problems, is time enough to embark on such a program. Can you imagine the reception given to any foreigners who came into Canada and set themselves up as "do-gooders" in a similar instance? We would become justly incensed at their colossal nerve and rightly so! Just learned of the demise of a former Yelvcrtonian more recently of Port Perry in the person of Miss Lillian Lawson. Sympathy is extended to her nephew Mr. Bruce Lawson who is left to mourn her passing. passing. Lily was a hair dresser for many years in Toronto and later later in Lindsay till ill health forced her retirement. We were very interested in seeing a documentary on channel channel 23 T.V. this week showing Bill Lishman of Purple Hill and his efforts in getting a flock of Canadian Geese to follow follow his light aircraft.

The Upt Newcastle Village sponsored, Breakfast with Santa Claus was held on December 21, 1991.
