No walking in this weather! Avril Skates Regenia and Avril Walker of Scugog Point have just re- turned'from a couple of very ex- citing days attending the 25th Annual Sunlife Eastern Onta- rio Sectional Skating Champi- onships, held in Trenton this past week. Many top skaters from all over eastern Ontario were there to compete. Avril, who was representing the Port Perry Figure Skating Club, was competing in the Juvenile Ladies Freeskate Event. Here she skated ex- tremely well and was very pleased with the fifth place fin- ish in the flight. Avril has been working hard this fall prepar- ing for these competitions and now she will be preparing for the busy season after Christ- mas getting ready for the Ux- bridge Invitational and the Pine Ridge Interclub Competi- tion. Warmest congratulations to Avril! Nestleton United Nestleton United Church saw a splendid congregation at the Sunday service on Nov. 21, with Matthew Hill greeting at the door. Rev. David Shearman opened with the Call to Worship and hymn "Praise the Lord is King". The children's theme was most interesting to the large number of children attending. The min- ister's message for the congre- gation was excellent, with Mat- thew Hill reading Scripture from Ephesians 1 and Matthew 25. The trio, composed of Janice, Regenia and Shirley, sang in harmony "Here I am Lord" with our able pianist Carol Maris ac- companying. Service closed by repeating "The Lord's Prayer" in unison and singing "Go Now in Peace". Yours truly was glad to be able to hear Rev. David's mes- sage, and as well, pleased to be back amongst all my Nestleton friends once again! Son Arthur of Sudbury had a break from his busy schedule holidaying for a few days with his mom at the farmstead at Scugog Point Road. A highlight was having a visit with his twin brother Alan of Oshawa and wife Eleanor, as well as dining out! A great few days of pleas- ure - delighted to see Art! Sorry brother Grant wasn't feeling the best. Marlene Bannister, Peterbo- rough and Neta Fish, Edgerton Road, were in Stroud on Satur- day evening attending the birthday party of three year old Melissa Gordon. She had many little children helping her cele- brate. Neta was a dinner guest at son Calvin and Yvonne's home on Edgerton Road on Hall Bo Sunday evening. Sincere sympathy to Ethel MacDonald and daughter Es- ther Trotter of Port Perry, and the immediate family, in the sad loss of a husband and fa- ther, Grant MacDonald of Port Perry. A fine person who will be missed by all who knew him. Yours truly enjoyed a visit with a good friend Wilfred Alex- ander of Oshawa who called in at the farmstead on Sunday af- ternoon, a very pleasant sur- prise!! Thoughts The old believe everything - the middle aged suspect every- thing and the young know everything! (Oscar Wilde) Longfellow said - we judge ourselves by what we feel capa- ble of doing - while others judge us by what we have already done! Notice The Court Lady Snowbird Annual Bazaar, Thursday, Nov. 25, at 7:30 p.m. at Nestle- ton Community Centre. Lots of interesting draws, a penny sale and great items for sale, a fine program and all this is topped off by refreshments! Nestleton Presbyterian Church With an average attendance, Rev. Wm. Fairley conducted the regular service at 11 a.m. in Nestleton Presbyterian Church. Joyce Taylor was the organist, and Barney McCabe and Oliver Rohrer were the ushers. Psalm 100 was read respon- sively, and Scripture readings were from Ezekiel 24 and St. Matthew 25. In the sermon, Rev. Fairley spoke of the Temple of Solo- mon, noting that Ezekiel found that many changes had been made and had corrupted the second temple building. There is still one God, who reigns and died for our redemption. A brief Session meeting after service set Sunday, Dec. 5 for Holy Communion at 11 a.m. Caesarea News by Albert Putsey The big news this week is the Hall Board's Bazaar this Satur- day from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. They have increased the num- ber of tables from 16 to 22 with only one left for rent. Your chance to pick up a number of quality items at economical prices for Christmas gifts. Free admission and you're guaran- teed to have an enjoyable visit. Sunday I was speaking to Councillor Dave Dietlein and I'm happy to report he has com- pleted his second session of treatment. He is feeling tough but happy it's over and very op- timistic about the future. Good luck, Dave! My sincere thanks to Gwen Malcolm for the work she did in helping to keep this column ac- tive during Mabel's illness. With Mabel being back home, I'm glad to report she's able to take over as the chief. I regret to report Natelle, daughter of Jason and Julie Warner, broke her leg below the knee, skating at Blackstock Arena. Best wishes, Natelle. Firefighters - Don't forget your association meeting this Sunday. There is a 50/60 draw active by the P-A-R-K Assoc. here in the village for the next section of the park equipment for older youths. Also a bench in the gen- eral area. Tickets are available at Sunnyside Market. The other night I couldn't get to sleep and I began to think of the election. I remember the Jack La Bloc, Sgt. Gauche, Henry Le Man and others from Quebec who stood with me in the time of war and wonder where they are now. I thought of whom I'd miss most in parliament and I thought of the one or two liner John Crosby who comes from the province with the largest unemployment with his quick Jabby jokes, example: "You'll have to forgive Sheila Copps for being late for this. meeting as i Greenbank Hall on Saturday, Peeples (dobro, guitar, vocals), tars, vocals). Billy Brando of Oshawa opene ard Bazaar is this Sa she is probably having trouble with the motor on her broom." He's very much like Ross Perot in the U.S.A., don't you think? I thought of the last father of confederation, Joey Smallwood. I remember one time during his terms in office when he was ill and a neighbor of mine, June Hastie (not from Newfound- land) sent him a get-well mes- sage. About six weeks later, the premier was back at work and he saw fit to drop June a note thanking her for the kind re- marks. I also recall Centennial year when I was active with the 7th Agincourt Scout group.and we asked each province to send us a tree from their province for our May 24 tree planting cere- k Folk Music Societ presented acoustic blues band Jackson Delta at the bist ngrans Nov. 50. The band consists of Peterborough natives Gary Al Black (harmonica, drums, vocals), and Rick Fines (gui- d the show for the two-time Juno Award nomi- turday money to be planted in Wishing Well Park, Scarborough. The 'letter came back from New- foundland stating it was illegal for them to ship trees from the island to the mainlaind, due to spreading disease. But thanked us for including them in the participation and wishing us well. Then my thoughts went to Clyde Wells and the "notwith- standing clause" of the pro- posed constitution. The people of Canada's view in the plebi- scite and how will the future history of Canada be written. How will Clyde Wells be looked upon in the future? I was at this point I fell asleep. nees.
