Over the past few years a number of athletes have graduated from the limited ranks of Wedding - Invitations available at the Port Perry Star 985.7383 Port Perry athletes to toil at their trade in other parts of the country: Brent Heard (Junior "B" and University, hockey), Don Sinclair (Uni- versity basketball) ; Bill Van Camp (Junior "B" and Uni- versity hockey), Rick Evans (Junior "B"" hockey). This is only a partial list and no doubt I have left out a few names, but why should we Chimo Youth Home (continued) And as for Mr. McLaugh- lin's remark about one apple in the. barrel spoiling the "rest, it would be' foolish to think that Port Perry doesn't already have a few rotten apples of its own, and the rest of us aren't spoiled yet. He also said that we have .got along without them so. far and we can get along without them in the future. The question isn't if we can get along without them, it is if they can get along without a community like ours that they so desperately need. A good community is a major part of any rehabilit- ation program, so I think that we should share our community with these child-- ren, in hopes that they, in some way, will benefit from it.

EDITOR'S NOTE It is one of the unfortunate but unavoidable drawbacks of weekly newspapers that first-hand coverage rarely extends beyond the borders of the municipality it serves. It is rather heartening to find, however, that some of our readers are forced to buy major provincial dailies only because of what they cannot find in the Port Perry STAR. We regret to say that we cannot begin to match the extent and scope of cover- age of the Toronto Star and London Free Press who have sports departments many times the size of our entire staff .- including the janitors!!! : For much of what happen outside the community, we must rely on people to keep us informed, as it is almost impossible for us to keep track of the thousands of people who live here but persue activities elsewhere. We might use this opportun- ity to ask our many readers to help us give coverage to those many deserving indiv- iduals who are doing great ~ things elsewhere by keeping _ us informed. Coincidentally, a story appears on Page 21 in this week's STAR about Jim Zoet, a Lakehead University basketball star who comes from Port Perry. The item was used after Jim's proud brother brought it to our attention last week.

Sir: The discussions about tlie penal Reception Centre and more recently about the Chimo home make me think the Chimo people might find Port Perry a bad environ- ment for the young people they're trying to help.
