Celebrates 101st birthday Ernie Nicholson, formerly of Orono and now residing in Lindsay, celebrated his 101st birthday on December 7th, 1986 at a family outing. Congratulations are extended to Ernie from all in this community. "11 'S TIME TO RETIRE WHEN..." Another year has passed and there has been some changes indeed but then much does not remain the same. In noting change we would refer to gifts received at Christmas.. In the past number of years most gifts had some relationship > to birds...placemats, calendars, bird books, mugs with birds etc. But that all changed this, year with the exception of one mug with a delicate painting of a pair of blue birds. Leading the parade of change would have to be Janette who not so long hgo bounced into the back office with a tabulated sheet outlining outlining pension payments that could Bowmanville Anglers (Continued from page 1) with a 20.05 lb. Rainbow from the Ganaraska while a Peterborough angler placed fifth wifh a 19.81 pounder and an Amprior angler placed tenth with a 16.121b. brqwn. Dan Arnold of Kitchener placed sixth with a 17.81 brown from the Wilmot with Ed McGregor from Peterborough placing eighth with a 17.50 pounder and Nick Sampogna of Scarborough placing fifteenth with a 12.56 lb. brown.

Apparently with this in mind one of her gifts was an illustrated book along with captions entitled "It's Time To Retire When..." Now some of the captions didn't really apply or at least 1 did not think so. I can operate the computer computer and I will bénd over for less than a quarter. Others however could apply such as: "Your wife doesn't grill you anymore about new secretaries" "Your boss is younger than you, worse he may be a she" "Your desk looks like it came out of a Dickens novel" "Constantly make notes'and constantly constantly lose them" ", "Getting a little action means your prune juice is working" "Good looking young ladies feel safe enough to flirt outrageously with you" For Janette's information I do intend intend to hang in for a while yet. The birds also took a back seat this year to animals, piglets no less, which did bring back memories of that successful venture in piglet racing racing at the Orono Fair. A cute card and a poster, the latter I will not describe but it is good for a laugh: NOW BACK TO THE BIRDS A bird sighting east of Orono on the fifth line of Clarke by Bill Bunting Bunting has drawn a lot of attention with birders coming, from as far away as Etobicoke and from the Peterborough area, to view the bird. It all started with a comment to Bill by his son-in-law, Paul Staples, who stated he had seen, on a number of occasions, a strange bird sitting in top of trees along the fifth concession line. Bill identified the bird as a Hawk Owl which indeed it is and is very rare for this area. It is a beautiful bird, smaller than a crow, round yellow eyes, and it has allowed viewers to get quite close at times. Bill was quick to get me over . there to add this bird to my list and enjoy the sighting- He also informed informed Jim Richards, the areas noted birder and author on birds. Jim passed the word of the sighting along to the bird hot line and this has been instrumental in a good number of birders taking advantage of the sighting and travelling to the fifth concession. In speaking to Jim Richards he states his last sighting of the bird was in 1967 and he added that that was unusual for he is out birding most of the time. On Sunday I was speaking with Geoff Carpentier from Peterborough Peterborough who is another noted birder and most active. He said it has been five years since he has viewed the Hawk Owl and came down from Peterborough after hearing of the location and sighting of the bird. The Hawk Owl is a tame daylight daylight owl bf the muskegs of Northern Northern Canada, rarely moving south in the winter. It perches in the open on tree'tops, raising and lowering its long tail slowly. At a distance it could be mistaken for a crow sitting in the tree top. It has been in the area for at least three weeks and most sightings have been at the top of a tree located by the house of Bruce Hancock or in a similar tree next to the white frame house west of Hancock's. Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, January 7, 1987-3 CUPE blocks make-work plan The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) who represent school caretakers in the Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education area have blocked a plan whereby the school board had proposed to redecorate the interior ' of some of its schools. The union has blocked the school board's hope of obtaining government government funding to upgrade school. buildings. A grant under the Department of Employment and Immigration was available to the board and would have ; given eight unemployed workers work for a twenty week period. The use of the program had to have the support of CUPE which was not given in this instance. The main objective of CUPE was the rate of pay being offered by the program. Workers were to earn an hourly wage of about $5.50 an hour, which stated Fred Nichols, president of the local, was hardly enough to live on. The union had asked that the board supplement the wage level to bring it up to union wage level of $9.87 an hour. There was also concern that nonunion nonunion workers could end up doing , unionized workers jobs. The board had expected to raise a grant of some $120,000 for the work for eight painters and a supervisor. supervisor.
