Original Toronto Star caption: 'Tie a yellow ribbon 'round . . .' Pat Collie, Scarborough Board of Education chairman, thanks Frank Scherdan, a board carpenter, for gavel he made her from a 200-year-old oak tree that is dying and soon to be removed from the civic centre. It was presented to her at a special ceremoy last night. And yes, that is a yellow ribbon tied around the old oak gavel.
