22- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, May 12, 1998 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" R D> PORT PERRY STAR & URAL Roots Hope all mothers en My hope is that all mothers enjoyed a very happy Mother's Day on Sunday. Certainly there were many family gatherings in honor of the special day. At the United Church at the regular morning worship service the Sacrament of Baptism was conducted by Rev. David Shearman when Gabrielle Elizabeth Anderson-Duvall, daughter of Catherine and Carl Anderson Duvall and Janice Lynn Duff, daughter of Jodie and Christopher Duff were received. During the service spe- cial music was provided by both the junior and senior choirs. Rev. Shearman preached a very thought-provoking sermon, "New Visions." Following church Chris and Jodie Duff hosted a family gath- ering in honor of Jamie Lynn's Baptism. Guests were Larry and Coreen Johnstone, Raglan, Ilda Duff, Alice Linstead of Port Perry, Jeff, Wendy, Jordan and Travis Johnstone of Seagrave, Joanne Robin and Owen Popovitch of Port Perry, Alma Duff, Corey and Marilyn Call, Ashley and Morgan of Blackstock.

Heartiest congratulations to the Cartwright High School Senior Concert Band. This band attended the International Music Festival which was held in Quebec. They played before three international level adjudicators on Saturday and were awarded the Gold. It puts the band in the top 8 per cent of all groups heard by the I.M.F. across North America and the world. To put the importance of this award Blackstock by into perspective, Cartwright High School Bands have attend- ed six International Music Festivals and this is the first time a Gold has been awarded to a concert band. Who says great things can't come from our small high school? To keep his promise to the band, conductor and leader Mr. John Beirness (Mr. B.) shaved his moustache which he has sported for 26 years. Once again heartiest congratulations for such a fabulous achievement. Welcome home to Karen Water who is home after a month vacation in Australia.

Blackstock W.I. By Eileen McLaughlin, reporter The May meeting of the Blackstock Women's Institute was held on May 6 with 15 mem- bers present. Vice-president Dora Martyn opened the meeting with the Institute Ode and The Mary Stewart Collect. Carol Thornton, convener of Agriculture was in charge of a most interesting meeting.

Several ladies put on their walking shoes and with Carol Thornton as their leader went for a walk of Blackstock. An answer to Albert's red Highway 7A Last week I asked what these triangle red markers meant on Hwy. 7A and this week I have an answer. Every so many years the department makes a film of the highway in order to protect own- ers of property along the highway and also the department from wrong doing along the road allowance. It could be a building added too close to the road or a culvert installed in the year 2000. A dispute arises and the owner says "that was here in '91 when | purchased the property." The department will review the film and it will tell the true story if it was there in 1998 or not. Most municipalities have films of prop- erty they have jurisdiction over.

Lions Club We had a very good address triangle question by Dr. W. Rapley last Wednesday about the Metro Zoo. They have 25 to 30 projects a year taking place in an effort to raise funds.

Joke of the Week A 12-year-old boy became very interested in riding horses and a 17-year-old girl gave him many tips. She asked the boy to aid her in preparing the horse for a show. However when she added how much easier it was going to be having him as her groom, he replied "I'm not going to marry you." Saying of the Week The cinema has no boundary, it 1s a ribbon of dream.
