Cubs go on winter expedition On Saturday afternoon the 1st Port Perry Cubs went on a winter expedition at Nonquon Conservation Area. With Scouter Don Farquhar- son as our guide and instructor the Cubs went on a_ ramble through the forest observing an- imal tracks and feeding the birds. The Cubs were then treated to hot chocolate and then learned about some of the condi- tions that affect the weather changes. They found this most interesting and were able to participate in some of the exper- iments. After getting warmed the boys then faced the challenge of snow shoes but this proved Divorce & separation discussion Separation or divorce is a family crisis which affects all members in different ways. Of- ten the parents themselves are hardly able to cope with their own situation, and may be too emotionally drained to provide the support teenagers need to deal with their own unique challenges at this time. The Family Education Re- source Centre of Durham House is offering this four ses- sion workshop for teens from 10-14 years to help them cope with their parents' separation or divorce. There will be opportunities to share common concerns and to realize that there are other teens who have gone through the same process. The workshop will be held at Sir Albert Love School, 426 Wil- son Rd., Oshawa from 6:45 - 8:46 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 25. The cost is $32. For more infor- mation and to register for this workshop please call the centre at 579-2021, more of a challenge for the adults.
