Ms Scott was introduced by fellow Rotarian Pauline Mote (left) who had recommended her for membership earlier this year. Bowmanville Rotarians heard from one of their newest members at the Thursday, March 3rd, club meeting. Nancy Scott, executive director of the Big Brothers Association of Clar- ington, is the fourth woman to join the local service club. She was invited to join by Rotarian Pauline Mote earlier this year. "When I spoke to this club in 1989, women were just beginning to join. It never occurred to me that I would join and be standing here today giving my classification speech," Ms Scott told fellow-members. Nancy Scott grew up on a farm near Orono where her father raised cattle and sheep and worked for the Department of Highways. Even though her childhood seemed isolated and lonely, owing to the fact that her mother did not drive, Nancy Scott has no regrets about being raised on a farm. "It's a great environment," she said. She attended a one-room school- house for her primary education and then attended Clarke High School the year it was first built. After earning her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Psychology from Laurier Laurier University, she launched her career career in the Northwest Territories supervising supervising a hostel for Indian children. "The children would come to the hostel to go to school while their parents parents went on hunting or fishing expeditions," expeditions," she said. In the Arctic, the sun stayed up for 24 hours in the summer. Winter hung around until late May, she recalls. It was extremely isolated and she was homesick. The one bright spot during her stay was a visit from her fiance, David, who she would later marry. Soon after leaving her post in the Arctic, Nancy travelled to Sri Lanka. "I experienced culture shock going from one of the least-populated areas in the world to one of the most hcavi- Local Man Elected Master of Toronto's Loyal Orange Order by Lorraine Manfredo Bowmanville resident, Don Wilson, Wilson, has been elected County Master of the Loyal Orange Order of Metropolitan Metropolitan Toronto.

Clubs and Organizations Hiking Clergyman Enjoys "Mountain Top" Experiences ly populated," she said. She continued to see David, who was working on a Kibbutz in Israel. Eventually, the couple travelled all through the Middle East along the West bank. They also went to Damascus Damascus and Alexandria. Nancy recalled how beautiful Beirut was before the war started. As newlyweds, the Scotts lived for a while in Acton and then Toronto where Nancy worked at the CIBC bank. While raising her son, Nancy became deeply involved in her volunteer volunteer work. She joined the Junior League, a women's organization similar to the Rotary club. Prior to this, her only other volunteering had been manning the distress line in University. When her son, Ian, was old enough for senior kindergarten, Nancy took a job as secretary for the United Church, but had to take some time off initially to tie up all the loose ends of her volunteer work. As the years went by, she and husband husband David began to spend their weekends back in Orono Where they have now settled because they both like the country. It was in 1986 that Nancy spotted an advertisement in "The Canadian Statesman" for her present job with the Big Brothers. The Big Brothers organization has grown a great deal in the time she has been involved. Seven years ago, there were 12 matches with five Little Brothers waiting. Now there are 26 matches with 14 Little Brothers waiting. waiting. Only 4% of the funding comes from the government, she said. The majority of the budget comes from the United Way, from the community, and from annual fund-raisers. The Rotary Club continues to be a big supporter for the organization. Nancy was thanked on behalf of the club by Rotarian Jim Knight. oy Mary eraser A mountain-top experience can be very humbling. This was the message delivered by the Reverend Frank Lockhart, guest speaker of the Bowmanville. Bowmanville. Men's Canadian Club, on Wednesday, March 2, at Trinity United United Church. Using slides and screen Mr. Lockhart Lockhart took his delighted audience on a hiking tour of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. He shared not only his enthusiasm for climbing, but also an extensive knowledge of the geology and history of the region. "There are twelve hundred miles of hiking trails, some of which have been there for 150 years," Mr. Lockhart Lockhart explained, adding that 48 of the mountains are over 4,000 feet high. Over many summers, he has climbed all 48 and is now starting over again. Mr. Lockhart prefers to day-hike, but said that some people enjoy longer climbs, camping overnight overnight in huts that house up to a hundred hundred people. "Day-hiking means having to do the round trip in a relatively short time, but gives the hiker more control over the weather," Mr. Lockhart said. Sudden changes in temperature and conditions can be very dangerous in the Appalachians, where hikers have been known to die of hypothermia hypothermia in July. To stay comfortable during during a climb, Mr.- Lockhart recommended recommended dressing in layers and using a back-pack frame to dry damp clothing clothing enroutc. Mr. Lockhart showed his audience a map indicating geological differences differences in the White Mountain region. He also passed around samples of rock, explaining why some hills are more difficult to climb than others. "Mount Washington and other high mountains are made of Micas- chist, a metamorphic rock, created by the process of cooking sedimentary rock with great heat and under tremendous tremendous pressure. This rock is very hard and not as easy for the walker as mountains with more granite in their composition," said Mr. Lockhart, For the remainder of the evening, the audience was invited to join the guest speaker on three separate hikes. The first led to Franconia Ridge, the second, up Mount Adapts, and the •third, through Tuckerman's Ravine to the top of Mount Washington. Slides with spectacular views ol breathtaking beauty, vertical drops, and sparkling waterfalls added enchantment enchantment and excitement to each trip. Vegetation ranged from maple and breech at low levels, through birch and evergreens to snow, and sheer rock at the summit. Members of the audience were instructed instructed during the climb up Franconia Franconia Ridge to stay off a solid sheet of granite and to watch out for thunderstorms. thunderstorms. Large boulders dominated the upper region of Mount Adams. Mr. Lockhart told his fellow-travellers to be careful coming down. The way was extremely steep and tripping over one of those boulders might mean an express trip to the bottom. The final climb, up Mount Washington, Washington, which is approximately 6300 feet high, held some surprises. Snow, a hundred feet deep, can be a skier's paradise, provided he or she is extremely extremely fit (there are no lifts) and a superb skier, as rock outcroppings and a 60 degree slope create extremely extremely dangerous conditions for amateurs. As Mr. Lockhart led the Canadian Club up Mount Washington through Tuckerman's Ravine, he estimated that the walls were perhaps 1500 feet high. "This is just a magnificent place, an awesome and humbling experience" experience" he said. "It makes you feel very small and you realize that hiking is good for more than just your body." Reverend Lockhart, speaking at his own church, felt that his fellow- hikers had probably worked off the delicious dinner provided by Trinity's Trinity's United Church Women. He was warmly thanked for his excellent and informative tour by Doug Rackham. Don Wilson Rev.

"We believe believe in freedom of choice in religion religion and anything else that is legal and moral." One of the Order's most quoted mottos is: "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none." Mr. Wilson is also the Master of the Bowmanville Lodge #2384. There arc neighboring Orange Lodges in Purple Hill, Kendal and in Tyrone. "Wc'rc non-sectarian when it comes to politics, but we do study the political scene," he said. The main requirement for men joining the Loyal Orange Order is they must be 100% Royalist. "We believe in the chord between between the Motherland and Canada. The Lodge believes in the defence of the Realm." This loyally is unwavering, even as the Royal Family has been criticized criticized in the media and ridiculed by satirists.
