Her sermon title on Sunday was "Lighten Up." Pam Palmer sang a lively solo "Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho," with the choir joining in. Following the service, a beautiful container of red and yellow roses was pre- sented by Grant Parrott in ap- preciation to Pam, for her ef- organizing the Rwandan Relief project, which was such a huge success.

Guests came from Sault Ste. Marie, Fort Erie, Toronto and Markham. Everyone enjoyed a barbecue supper and much catching up with talk of grandchildren, re- cent trips and reminiscences of teaching experiences in Leaside (now part of East York). Alma Feagen of Sault Ste. Marie stayed on for a few days, and visited John and Betty's cabin on Ragged Lake near Coe Hill. Doug and Florence Ashton at- tended the 50th wedding anni- versary in honor of Joe and Cla- ra Dowson on Saturday afternoon, which was held at the Community Centre on Scu- gog Island. Dave and Marion Slater have recently returned home follow- ing a vacation in the state of Maine, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Theo and Joan Knight and all their family members enjoyed a family picnic at Lakeview Park, Oshawa, on Sunday afternoon. Sunday evening church ser- vice continues at Glen Major at 7:30 p.m. throughout August, including Labor Day Weekend. We attended the service on Sun- day night and the church was packed. Have a good week! Damage that followed Regatta was a big disappointment to organizers, community Each and every one of us is a member of our society. Most of us have an investment in our homes and consequently an in- vestment in our community. I recall many years ago taking a course and one of the nights the lecture was on the environment in which we live and a week lat- er it was on heredity and going on into the gene structure of the human body and etc. If we go back into early tribes of Canada we find they had a leader and a council and so do we have gov- ernments which we elect to make our laws. We in the com- munity also make laws to re- spect the general public and so it was on Regatta Saturday night when the lights were turned off. The next morning we saw the damage that had been done and then to add more in- sult to the situation Sunday evening when we all had so much to do, the lock for the elec- trical box disappeared. Think! Think! What kind of a society do you wish to live un- der? Our windup of the 1994 Re- gatta year ends with a meeting in Putsey Park on Aug. 18 at 11 a.m. This year is our election of Lo | Albert Putsey officers for the next two years. Be sure and come out with your suggestions and complaints at that time, we the committee wish to hear them. Next week I'll touch on where your dollars went in financing the Regatta. Had a great Wight at the Pine Ridge Garden Club Tuesday night. The subject was grass and of course I immediately thought of lawnmowers and work, but this wasn't the case. The lecture was by Martin Galloway from Chalk Lake Greenhouses and I can assure you you'll never fall asleep at one of his lectures. He showed slides of all the different types and colors of grass. Plants which can be used to help your v landscape problems, growing in height from eight inches to three feet. I saw the beauty of things which I had just looked at before. Shirley Love reports to me there are only 18 seats left for the bus to Niagara on Sept. 8. The bus trip will stop at Walker's Food Terminal and a couple of wineries. The price 18 $15/person and leaves Nestle- ton at 8 a.m. Tickets are availa- ble at LizyLou Color Craft, 233 Queen Street, Port Perry; 985- 2379. We also have our teams ar- 'ranged to deal with our booth at the Blackstock Fair on Satur- day, Aug. 27. Also the barbecue for the peo- ple in the nursing home Aug. 18 was discussed. Yes, we had a busy night. Saying of the week under re- sponsibility - You are the only one who has to live your life. by David Viscott The other day I heard my wife talking on the telephone and she said "I have to go to Port to the bank this afternoon, my husband is taking me out to- night." Pile of rum bottles marked birthday 1 must apologize to llea Pugh for not doing my part this summer writing the news. I will try to do better. The summer has gone by quickly as usual. Heather Bre- din has returned to her old self after having the screw removed from her leg. Watching her play soccer, I must keep reminding myself which leg was broken. This has been a summer of birthdays and anniversaries. Lloyd Pereman had a major birthday but he didn't get upset when a group descended on the quietness of his home. Maybe you saw the massive amount of rum bottles on alawn on Josephine Street. The man of the house had turned a certain age and his neighbor Judy.Phin- ney decorated his lawn with 50 rum bottles. John Bardeleben is trying to recuperate quietly. It 15 rumored that in his weak- ened state, he started remodel- ling his kitchen. Congratulations to Judy Phinney who has obtained full- time status at Prince Albert School. Her neighbors hope she won't have time to get any more "bright" ideas. Linda and Doug McMillan celebrated their 26th anniver- sary. Very good friends took them out to brunch and when they returned their yard was filled with family and friends. Doug gave an awesome speech about Linda and Linda said af- terwards that every bit of it was true. She also stated that Doug has been a real sweetie over the years, too. Have you noticed how the young people are changing into fantastic young adults? Mark, Carla and her friend and Dana put on an excellent party for their parents. They made every- one feel welcome. The small town of Wilber- force will not be the same-after a group of church men went to John Bredin's cottage for rest and relaxation. Keith Elliott, Dave Stanley, Ron Smith, Doug MacMillan and John Brough left their families to entertain themselves so that they could participate in some male bond- ing. I must say the ladies had a good time Friday evening dur- ing their husbands' absence. Many folks have enjoyed holi- days. Beth and Chuck Willes went to their regular cottage, Peremans and McMillans went to Manitoulin Island area, Ilean and Merv Pugh went to Gana- noque. Les and Grace Beacock, with son Don, went to Lindsay to visit Mr. and Mrs. John Bea- cock. Sympathy is extended to Elva Brain due to the loss of her brother. Chris Jamieson is still out on the golf course somewhere in Ontario. ,He won money in Oshawarfo that encouraged him to golf more. Mrs. Mary Devitt of Oshawa took Gertrude Wannamaker and Grace Beacock to Canning- ton to attend the lovely quilt and craft sale. Florence Smith had a lovely visit with her daughter Shirley from North Carolina. Summer is great for these get togethers. Did anyone notice the lovely garden wedding in Prince Al- bert? We watched as Ed and Max Daigle worked very hard to revitalize flower beds and all so that Charlene could have a beautiful wedding. Charlene's grandfather was able to assist - Charlie Clarke. What special memories that day must have created! Have you ever watched two grown men and two teenage boys fight over a pair of binocu- lars. Maureen Dowson and Peg- gy Bredin sat on a certain deck in Wilberforce while this was oing on. Ken Dowson and John redin beat the boys (John's cousins from Kingston). The men say they were watching the loons on the lake. Melissa Pereman had a great trip to Australia. She has lots of pictures to show you. A message to those young people who ran through the ce- metery Saturday night. I know it's fun and I'm sure you didn't do any damage, but next time see if you can refrain from using the "f" word so much. There are many interesting words that could be substituted. Bats are topic of hike They are the terror that flaps in the night; no, they're not birds or planes, but bats! Should you hide your hair? Are they blind? Are they dangerous to us?
