Babe?» In Bookland . by (Dorothy Robinson Sadie and the Sii« wman Author Allen Morgan and illustrator illustrator Brenda Clark combined their talents to produce a stunning picture book. All pages are beautifully framed. One side features a full page picture while the matching text is on the i facing page. The perfect blend of text and illustration is so important for young children. Sadie's efforts to make a snowman are foiled again and again by birds who eat the eyes, a squirrel who steals the nose and a racoon who raids the mouth. These robbers' robbers' efforts are compounded by the melting effect of the sun. All winter, she remakes the snowman, but as spring arrives, it becomes harder and harder to preserve the melting snowman. She comes up with a clever solution to keep some remnant of the old The Pines girls volleyball team has started up and the coaches will soon • be picking their teams.

This year's coaches for the girls are Mr. Staples, Mr. Scott, Mrs. Zander, and 'Mrs. McFadden. Good luck to all the girls trying out for the team. " Last week yoii read about a new teacher in the school. This week we're going to introduce another new member in the school, Mrs. Anne McFadden. She is a special education teacher. She came to us from a high school in Kitchener. Mrs. McFadden found out about t our school by supply teaching in the area. The reason shp came to The Pines is that she wanted to teach in a senior public school and she heard good things about us! This year Mrs. McFadden has six students in her class. She says that she finds them all very kind and considerate. She also says the same about all of the kids at The Pines, so it seems that she's really enjoying herself. Way to go girls soccer team! In this week's tournament the girls beat Dr. Hawkins by a 2-0 score. Then Bowmanville Senior played M.J. Hobbs to see who would play The Pines next. It was M.J. Hobbs, "Grandfather Clause" wins out After repeatedly pleading with council A. A. Strike representing a Mr. Swallow over charges on a land severance finally won out using the Grandfather's Clause. Over the years three lots that are owned by Swallow's were amalgamated into one block from a former three separate lots. This came about through the death of his wife and the settling of the estate as well through the process process of planning regulations. Strike told council it all went back to the early 50s and was a matter matter of the process. He spoke of the Grandfather Clause that did exist even today and requested that this clause be taken into consideration. Swallow wants to sell at least one .of the lots but municipal charges to do so under the existing by-laws would cost him $15,239. plus a levy of $5,000 for parkland dedication. Strike said it was not fair as Swallow was not a developer and he was a vicitm of the system. Strike has made his plea on a number of occasions and on Monday Monday night council did relieve Swallow of the $15,239 charge. If someone in the future however wishes to build on the lots the levies will then come back into force.
