Volume 125 Number 49 PORT PERRY, ONTARIO - TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1991 COPY 65¢ 56 Pages try to Police will limit Hallowe'en vandalism Due to vandalism in past years, Durham Regional Police are calling on the residents of Scugog to be vigilant on Hal- lowe'en night. ~ Durham Police have been kept busy over the past years on Hallowe'en with a number of vandalism related calls involv- ing young offenders. Last year police responded to a number of calls in Uxbridge, the year be- fore in Beaverton, and two years agoin Port Perry. In anticipation of repeat ac- tivity, police are requesting the residents to be vigilant in re- porting any incidents they wit- ness, or any gatherings of large groups. Staff Sergeant Bill VanDole- weerd is asking for the co- operation of the parents of teen- agers to also keep tabs on them during the night. Staff Sgt. VanDoleweerd says Hallowe'en is "for the tykes to go trick or treating" and not for young offenders. He says "vandalism is not what the night's all about." He is asking the public to re- port all incidents that a person may see involving vandalism, including mischief, damage to property, swarms of people and theft.

Candidates querried on local issues at meeting By Julia Dempsey More than 375 people gath- ered at the Port Perry High School Wednesday evening to listen to and question candi- dates running in the 1991 mu- nicipal election. The All-Candidates Meeting was hosted by Taxpayers' Coa- lition Scugog and moderated by Joel Aldred. Coalition chairman David Frew opened the meeting with a few remarks about the tax- payers' group and its mandate. In a 10-year period, taxes have increased 135 per cent (compounded), Mr. Frew said, adding election years brought in the lowest tax increase in a three-year term. He said Taxpayers' Coalition Scugog is committed to making government and politicians re- sponsible and accountable to the taxpayers. The need for new administra- tion buildings for Scugog Town- ship, Durham Region, and the public board of education, as well as the proposed expansion of recreational facilities, the condition of local roads, and the setting of councillors' wages are a few of the coalition's concerns, Mr. Frew said. Although the meeting was hosted by the Taxpayers Coali- tion Scugog, Mr. Frew said the forum was designed to give the A FAMILY TRADITION FOR 125 YEARS electorate the chance to ques- tion candidates on all local is- sues. And question the candidates, they did! After hearing short speeches from the candidates (see separate story), members of the audience asked an entire spectrum of questions: Every- thing from taxes to garbage, and recreation facilities to con- flicts of interest. First off the mark was Lynda Kendry who asked incumbent public school trustee Joyce Kel- ly to explain the need for a $25- million education centre.
