! ! i TT Ms dr re te + = g-- Lake Scugog UFO is sighted The MeBriens haven't quite settled into their new surroundings on Lake Scugog at R.R.1, Little Bri- tain yet, and there were no drapes hung over the bed- room windows. D'Alten Mc- Brien noticed the unusually bright light reflected in the still water of the lake. Examing what he thought was an unusually bright har- vest moon, Mr. McBrien walked to the window and looked skyward. No mdon. A bright "'star- like" light hung over the Happy With Accomplishments: Noreen Bowes elected president Carol McKinnon of Port Perry has been elected trea- surer of the Durham North Association for Children with Learning Disabilities. Noreen Bowes of Sunder- land was elected president of the association. The association is attempt- ing to make the public aware of the special problems faced by the young people they represent, and although the organization is as yet small, Mrs. McKinnon has been heartened by what has been accomplished so far.

Nancy retained her title as Dairy Princess of Lindsay Central Exhibition when she entered the competition and captured the judges winning points. She also competed in the Queen of the Fair competi- tion in which she was first runner-up. The dairy princess' win will also give her another chance to compete in the Ontario finals at the 1977 Canadian National Exhibit- ion in Toronto. Get (plop) alon Writing a. history of Port Perry and area? Well, dont forget to record Tuesday, September 28, 1976. That's the date of Port Perry's last cattle--round- up, an event that will probab- ly surpass the OK Corral gunfight and the Little Big Horn as the tale is passed from generation to gener- ation. "In the manner of legends everywhere, the story will grow in the telling, and those in the future will hear of how such giants as Don Thomp- son, John Dowson, Bernie McEnaney and Ron Mac- Donald and how they headed seven beasts down Port Perry streets...and risking impalement on the thrashing horns...herded them down in the Philp's corral (then an auto dealership). They will go down in his- tory as brave, fearless men.

Judging from the slipping, sliding, and boot- scraping, any further delay could have resulted in even more problems as the seven quadrupeds blazed a steamy trail through village streets.

McEnaney, without the assistance of a guitar and soothing song, managed to the story-' turn the stampeding herd from their John Street to Queen Street course, only to have them turn onto Mary Street.

The organization holds regular meetings, featuring guest speakers who are usually experts in their field of education and child care. Speaker at the next meet- ing, at St. John's School in Uxbridge on October 13 will be Harry McCartney, execu- tive Director of the Ontario Association for Children with Learning Disabilities. The organization is also working on a series of lec- tures starting November 10 at Port Perry High School. Fascinated, he called his wife Audrey who also obser- ved 'the phenomenon and wondered at first if it was a giant star in process of breaking up. However, the fact that it - appeared relatively station- ary and the presence of the red and white lights revol- ving around it dispelled that idea. "I don't think we were afraid," she said. 'Perhaps concerned is a better word. It was like nothing either of us had ever seen before." There was no movement of the object, and the couple woke up their 13-year-old son and all three watched the object for about 15 minutes. When it started to move slowly on a southerly course, the McBriens decided to go 10) to bed. "I wish we had watched it longer, but we were all tired," she said. Pressed to label what she'd seen, Mrs. McBrien couldn't. "'It wasn't a saucer or space ship. It was just.... different." As fas as space men are concerned, the McBriens treat that possibility lightly. "our boy joked that he'd better bring in "Brandy" (the family dog), so the Martians won't get him, but he wasn't serious." "In fact," said Mrs. Mc- Brien, 'We all had no trouble getting back to sleep." The McBriens, although visitors to the area for some 20 years, moved to R.R. 1, Little Britain, in June.
