They represent U.C.W. *in the area bounded by Pickering, Port Perry and Newtonville. * Chairperson Betty Tiircott, Bowmanville, warmly - welcomed the executive personnel to the annual annual January workshop to share objectives, objectives, concerns and practices of the U.C.W. organization.greetings were spoken by the Reverend Ray Edwards, who is minister of Centennial Church and Chairman of Oshawa Presbytery United Church of Canada, and by Centennial Centennial Church U.C.W. president, Joan McFarlane.

In the first, they met Port Perry Selects in an up and down affair. However, on one Port Perry shift in the second, they scored two goals and ended up 2-0 winners to consign Orono to the consolation side of the tourney. In the next game, Ennismore were the opponents and they took the lead in the first period. In the second, Orono stormed back with two goals. First, Michael Landers popped popped one in on a power play, being set up by Daryl Reid and Ben Deremo. Orono took the lead when Drew Hansen put one past the goalie assisted by Daryl and Jeff Hughes. The third period was exciting exciting with lots of good saves by both goalies. As the season wears on, Chad Maartense in the Orono nets, is really coming on to anchor the defence giving his colleagues confidence. The lead lasted until the 8:22 point of the period when a young Bobby Orr type on En- nismore's defence came up ice and tied the score. Twenty-eight seconds later, 1:10 seconds to go, he did it again. In fact, he scored all three goals in their 3-2 victory. So the Orono boys did well but at any age it is difficult to stop a player such as this little guy. The next day we were all back up to Millbrook for the first play off game against Millbrook Novices. Again the team played really well but came home with a 3-2 loss. Jeff Hughes started us off well with a goal arranged by Paul Woods and, Michael Dreslinski but Millbrook have a Bobby Orr of their own called called Murray Hogg. Murray scored one and assisted on another to give his team a 2-1 lead going into the second. second. We kept plugging away and ; Daryl Reid was rewarded with the tying goal, assisted by Jeff Hughes and Andrew Burton. After losing by six and seven goals, this 2-2 score was providing the Orono fans with exciting expectations of a well deserved tie, particularly with the team playing so well and sticking to their checks. Chad made two terrific terrific saves on Murray Hogg, one on a blast from the point. Guys like Henry Kaldeway, Brandon Meadows,' Mark Foster, Aaron Staples and Jamie Shetler skated their little hearts out and, although Murray Hogg finally-almost inevitably-scored the winner, it wasn't fair (at least from our point of view!). The team played so well against an opponent that has dominated them all year that a tie was deserved. At least, we know that we can come close and that must give hope for future games against them. Next' game is against Pickering at 7:00 p.m. on January 22nd in Pickering. ' , Issues to be addressed on Valley land proposal members. Jean LeGrand and Bev Holmes of Centennial Church led refreshing intervals of singing. Audrey Martin,, Bowmahvillé, pro- 1 vided a good book display. * Marilyn Schammerhorn, BowmanviMe, gave an hour-long presentation on the issue of pornography pornography from a Christian point of view. Six specific concerns regarding regarding pornography and its social impact impact on our community were shown to warrant appropriate government assessment and action. A detailed definition of the word pornography, pornography, and up-dating and strengthening of existing laws is necessary to protect our society. Individuals Individuals are urged to inform the Federal Minister of Justice, Mr. John Crosbie and Provincial Attorney Attorney General, Mr. Ian Scott, of their concerns and to request appropriate appropriate action. The interest and enthusiasm shown by participants in the day's information and activity is indication indication of a great beginning to a productive productive year for United Church Women in 1986. On Monday the general purpose committee of the Town of Newcastle referred back to the Chief Administrative Officer, David Johnston, a report pertaining pertaining to a proposal by Mayor Winters which would see development development of Valley Lands along the Bowmanville Creek from Highway 2 south to the Baseline Road. The proposal presented on January 13th by the Mayor had been referred to the Administrator for a report. The proposal had considered development of the Valley Lands to include the location location of the proposed new Bowmanville arena, the construction construction of a new administrative building, a new valley land road and other recreational facilities. It had also been proposed that a Junior Architect's contest be,held for the design of the proposal. The Administrator's report stated it may be premature to hold the contest pending the receipt and consideration of the Arena Feasibility Study. The study is expected expected sometime in February. It also said council members unfamiliar unfamiliar with the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority proposals for the valley lands may want to review the documents. The Conservation Authority does hold ownership of t some of the lands in the area. • Johnston also said it Would not seem appropriate to proceed with .the contest to design any proposal without the full' support of* the Authority. The report also stated it would be premature to discuss or consider costs of the project , based 1 on the amount of information information available through the sketch which was ' attached to the Mayor's proposal. Çounc. Hamre said she was shocked to see the report so soon before council. She said there were many issues to be addressed regarding roads, community services, services, Conservation Authority and others. Counc. Hamre moved that the report be referred back to the administrator administrator for a more thorough review and report and that the ad-, ministrator sit down with the Mayor to discuss the proposal. Counc. Cowman said she had to agree with Counc. Hamre and that the report needed more depth. She said the proposal did mean a major change in road design in the area that could cost $10 to $15 million. Council supported the referral back to the Chief Administrative Officer. ; Distinguished winter visitors - Juncos FED. OF ONT. NATURALISTS WOODS, WATER AND WILDLIFE By Rdn Reid One of the most dependable winter visitors at your feeder is likely likely to be a handsome little bird, soft grey on the back and head,, and velvety white on the belly.'

Like their Ice Fishing ^ on Lake Scugog (Cbntiriu0d from page 7) ' melted water drains down to the water level leaving a very weak honeycomb structure of ice. Anglers should pay special attention attention to clothing when ice fishing. Several layers of loose fitting clothes are most effective, An outer layer of a wind resistant material should be worn to guard against wind chill.

Fish are considered considered to be in possession whether they are in hand, in transit or in a freezer. Muskellunge and bass are out of season during the ice fishing season, and must be returned immediately ,if caught. Two lines are allowed on Lake Scugog when fishing through the ■ ice. A person must tend his or her lines at all times. A clear and .unobstructed view of the lines must be kept. Set lines are not allowed. A line is considered to be "set" when the line is not bein^ tended by a person. person. When leaving a fishing hut on the ice, the hut must be registered with the Lindsay district office of the Ministry of Natural Resources. There is no charge for this service. All litter must be removed from the ice at the end of each fishing trip. All fishing huts must be removed from the ice by March 15. The 1986 Summary of the Fishing Regulations should be consulted for additional information. The most serious -problems . associated with ice.fishing are litter and abandoned fishing huts ; . In 1985, about ten fishing huts were left frozen in the lak^ after the March 15th deadline.

Juncos seem to like to feed from the ground or the surface of the snow, ' especially around the base of your ,'feeder where other birds haye scattered scattered their wastes. Because'of this habit,» somê people Jcnow this bird as .the black snowbijrd.» Ontario is one of the few places where juncos are present year round, eventhough they seem much ' more scarce in summer. While jun- cos range across much of North America from the tree line south, we are at the southern edge of»their breeding range, and near the northern northern edge of their winter distribution. distribution. A nesting pair of juncos chooses the edge of a deciduous or conifer woods for raising its brood, and searches for a nest site under the «cover of a stump, overhanging bank, or even the eave of a building occasionally. In a deep mossy cup of a nest, the four or five blue-white speckled eggs take only 12 days to hatch. A flock of juncos usually is announced announced by a medley of jingling trills - voices that seem too large to come from birds that seldom weigh more than an ounce. The bird's subtle colouring is enhanced by two brilliant strips df white down either side of. the tail, that are flashed in ' flight. Feeding juncos also seem to use their tail strips in an aggressive way to fight for their share of the supply of' rich seeds. When the fresh-fallen snow lies thick on tl . branches, thé cheerful antics of W flock'of juncos is evidence enaegh that not all of the natural wq^l is slumbering.
