8 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 5, 1985 Scouting Corner October has been a busy month for scouting in Pine Ridge District. Apple Day was one event that all groups took part in, and although the morriing of the 19th didn't bring the driest weather, most groups reported a good turnout and a successful effort. Cannington has all sections off to a good start, with 3 leaders each for Beavers and Cubs, and two enthusiastic new Scout leaders. (There has been little Scout activity for the past 2 years). Four Beavers swam up to Cubs, 5 Cubs went up to Scouts, and 1 Scout became a Venturer on September 24th. Cannington is selling the 1986 Scouting calendars as a beginning to a major Fund raising campaign to enable work to begin on a year-round Scout Hall in 1986. This plan depends on their ability to secure Wintario grants and private funding. Uxbridge Beavers (all 46 of them) are busy working on tails and colouring books. On October 7th the Cubs from A and B packs held a joint weiner roast and investiture in Elgin Park. The same night the Scouts also held an investiture. They are currently working on Knot tying relays. The Scouts also enjoyed a bring a friend camp at Haliburton Adventyre'base on the weekend of September 28th and 29th. Some of the more memorable activities included tent collaps- ing, moss fights, canoeing and catchless fishing. Seagrave held a Paper Drive on October 26th. The Dance held October 12th was a success with a fair profit and a super time. The Afghan was won by a generous but anonymous person who redonated it back to the Group Committee. The corn dolly was won by Carol Sturman of Seagrave. The 1st Cartwright Group Committee will be sponsoring a dance on November 9th at the Nestleton Community centre at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are obtainable at $12.00 a couple - please call 986-4233 or 986-5350. The District is holding Training for Leaders at the beginning of this new season. There was a Nuts and Bolts, or basic training, for Pack Leaders on October 24th. And a Woodbadge Part 1 for Beaver leaders is being held starting this week (October 29th) for 5 con- secutive Tuesdays at the Port Perry High School. Part 1's for other sections are available through other Districts. Training is invaluable to help a leader develop confidence and program skills required in their service, and to provide orientation to their role, the boys, and the available resources. We are very proud to have in Pine Ridge District 4 boys who are Pathfinder Scouts. lan Cobham, Stuart Dove, Scott Gales and Todd O'Connor have worked very hard to earn this Award. Three boys will be receiving their Chief Scout Badge at Joseph Gould School in Uxbridge on Monday, October 28th and the provin- cial recognition ceremonies take place for all four on Saturday, November 2nd in Thornhill. Congratulations on a task well done!

Going into the Finals, the Seagrave Barrel Races were trail- ing a Newmarket team, Debbie Racz and Cinch Bid, by about 300 point. (The Point System in Rodeo gives the competitor one point for every dollar won). Joanne had missed two rodeos while travelling to Futurities in the States, and she knew it was a lot of pressure on her young horse to ex- pect him to close a 300 point gap in three runs. But the Rodeo Finals turned out to be their weekend as Wind Lancer turned in an outstanding perfor- mance winning all three barrel rac- ing go-rounds and enough money to boost the team into the top position. Competitors and spectators alike have come to expect the fast, stylish barrel patterns that the young horse consistently runs. This style and consistency has won Joanne barrel races, not only in Ontario, but inter- nationally as well. After a successful, but extreme- ly busy year, Wind Lancer will en- joy a few months of rest before the new season will again see the pair 'on the road again."

Editorial Comments (From page 4) way a detraction from the fact that so many young men went to their graves fighting for that very right. Perhaps the fact that Canada has not been involved in armed combat for more than 30 years has made some of us smug and com- placent about such things as the right to vote in a free and democratic election. Perhaps some have also become complacent about Remem- brance Day itself. It's pretty easy to drop some change in the poppy box, pin the red flower to the lapel and forget about what it all means. And for some, it may be more convenient simply to "forget to vote," or take the attitude that "it doesn't matter much if | don't bother." It may be 'an old cliche, but we wonder how people would feel if their fundamental rights were suddenly denied them. And it may also be an old cliche when we urge our readers to take the time this Sunday to watch the parade, attend the service at the Cenotaph and reflect on the meaning of it all. Then decide whether it's 'worth your while to make the effort' to get out and vote on Tuesday, November 12. There are many things that can, even should be taken for granted these days. Remembrance Day and casting a ballot are not among them.
