12 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, December 19, 1989 Letters to the editor I -- Disabled need the parking spaces To the Editor: This is a peeve that has been bothering me for a very long time. It is about the inconsiderate (or not thinking) people who park in disabled parking spots, especial- ly in front of the Port Perry Post Office or the 2 spots at the 1.G.A. store, They say to themselves "Oh I'll Millerlights To the Editor: Catherine and Tom Millar, Lynn Relf and Nina Foxall, deserve terrific applause and tremendous credit for their delightful production of Millarlights this past weekend. At this holy and festive time of year, it was especially beautiful and appropriate to have a pro- gram of the nature presented. Often, with all the secular adver- tising regarding this beautiful season, one rather tends to forget the true meaning. 'A Child's Christmas in Wales' was especially moving and just be a minute I only have to pick up one stamp." Meanwhile they are gone for more than three quarters of an hour or more. In the meantime two or three disabl- ed vehicles have come and try to find other accessible parking which is not easy in Port Perry. I know, (and I see) many older people in this area who desperate- show great nostalgic. We particularly en- joyed the pantomimes the children portrayed of the slides of Wales. It is very gratifying to see the great talents brought forth from our young people of this com- munity by the directors. The whole program was first rate. Congratulations Tom, Catherine, Lynn and Nina and all the company. Yours truly, Marjorie and Joe Baxter, ; Port Perry Be safe, buckle up To the Editor: What happened to so and so? "Don't worry - I'm in control - I can handle it" are famous last words uttered by people who have ended up doing damage or death to themselves or others. Somewhere in Canada, a home mourns for a.loved one who will not-be home for Christmas. Christmas is a time of celebra- "tion, a celebration of life. Let us all try and put "CHRIST back in- to CHRISTMAS." Drive safely and do not drink and drive. Also do not get into a vehicle if the driver has been drinking. Exercise your right to say "No!" Death isn't supposed to come at Christmas - but it does. More peo- ple are killed in cars and trucks than planes. More people are killed when alcohol and driving are mixed. Do not be dead right! That is the reason for the RIDE program, to save lives, so our families can enjoy a "MERRY CHRISTMAS." Thank you, all police officers. We really do appreciate you.

In fact I think the two spots in front of the post office should be for the disabled or handicapped. On the lighter side I.want to thank the Gentleman who moved from the disabled spot, so we could park our van "Thank you." And for the benefit of the peo- ple (most) are just not thinking at that time. I hope soon people in this area see that disabled or han- dicapped people do just need a lit- tle more consideration. Thank you for letting me vent. Lois Hoftyzer, Blackstock Santa stolen To the Editor: To whom this may concern. We have a tradition every year at Christmas, for our enjoy- ment, and the enjoyment of oth- ers, of putting up Christmas decorations. This year, though it seems someone took it upon them- gelves to remove part of our dis- play: a seven-foot plywood San- ta Claus, which was made by my grandmother. We would really appreciate having this returned, for senti- mental reasons, and we would even be willing to help you de- sign your own personal Santa, if youreally need one. It's unfortunate that peo- ple do things like this, and can't celebrate this special time of year without vandalism. Yours truly, Susan Stevenson, Port Perry. Lights stolen To the Editor: Once again Christmas is here. A time of love and laughter, of giving and of sharing. A time for celebrating the birth of Jesus. We as parents are trying to in- still these values in our children, in the hope that as they grow and mature they too shall inherit these things. But it is very hard and is a constant battle with the things they see about Christmas on television, the commercialism they see in stores and now with the vandalism at our home. We woke up this morning in what we thought was a lovely lit- tle community to find that our Christmas spot lights had been stolen. To us as adults it may be quite insignificant and materialistic, but to our young children who with mommy and daddy on a cold winter day helped decorate the house and make it look "'beeeutifull," it is a big deal. For someone to walk right across our front lawn and remove lights that didn't belong to them and they *'didn't ask for" is wrong and we can't explain it. All we can say is whoever you are, we hope you enjoy our lights and that they brighten your home, as ours is a little darker now on the outside but on the inside, it is bright and filled with love and laughter of giving and of sharing and we as a family are more determined than ever to keep it that way. | Mrs. Cathy Bacon Greenbank, Ontario. Floral candelabra and pots of white chrysanthemums decorated Nor- thminster United Church for the wedding of Marjorie Jane Cameron and William Jay Barton on the evening of Saturday, November 11th, 1989. The Rev. Wm. Piercy, long-time friend of the Cameron family, assisted Rev. Kent Clayton in performing the ceremony. Marijorie's mother, Gretel Cameron, was soloist, and the choir of the Church of Ascension, Port Perry, sang two anthems, with Karen Durward at the organ and Nancy Fairburn directing. . The bride, given in marriage by her father, Clarence Cameron, wore her mother's wedding gown, full-skirted white satin with a small train. It was accented with lace and pearl appliques and featured a cummerbund fastened at the back with 3 large satin roses, echoing the rose on her pearl-trimmed juliet cap. She carried a cascade of rose silk lilies. Miss Jackie Pomerleau of Toronto, maid of honour, wore a fuschia satin and lace gown and carried a co-ordinating bouquet of rose and fuschia silk flowers. The groom, son of Roy and Ethel Barton of Levack, was attended by his son, Willy Barton, as best man. Ushers were Rob Cameron, brother of the bride, and David Coleman of Toronto. The bride was chauffered for the evening ina white 1966 Buick converti- ble, decorated with pink and fuschia flowers and hearts. The reception was held in the lounge of the Oshawa Little Theatre, which was decorated with white twinkle lights swagged in pink tulle.
