This is written to a very special lady who accepted the job of coach for the Under Sevens Port Perry Lions soc- cer team. Even though she was already coaching a Mon- day baseball team, Wend Robinson took on the jo when the original coach nev- er showed up - her priority was the happiness of the chil- dren. It takes a lot of time and commitment for these coach- es to come to every game, to teach the little ones how to- play, to practice with them, to dry a tear or give a hug when they fall and to encour- age them after they lose by telling them what a great game they played. Wendy, you were terrific - you beat the odds, you re- searched the game, kept the welfare of the children a pri- ority and guided them to be- come the champions! Thanks, Wendy, From all of us, your team, and their parents. Adelaide Dekoning Take part! As I travel down the road of life I often wonder about par- ents. My experience in the years past in the Scouting movement was, there are the few who are utting their heart and soul into the movement and other parents sit back and accept the movement as a place to ship the kids off. This appears to be the game in every district and club. Albert Putsey Caesarea Questions intelligence displayed by C.S.1.S. To the Editor: Only in Canada would the in- sanity displayed by the Canadi- an Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) be this apparent. Or is the word Intelligence necessary just to have a vowel within the abbreviation? It would seem the I should be replaced by another S. CSIS and its predecessor sup- posedly have a mandate to in- vestigate any threats to nation- al security and then advise the government of any discoveries made during those investiga- tions. Sounds good to me. However, if past records come into play; such as paying the Pe- quiste to spy on themselves, and the recent paying the white racist Heritage Frontin order to solidify their network, it would seem these intelligence officers .pay, but don't know how to play the game. Instead of investigat- ing security threats, they are creating them. Who in their right mind signed the cheques ayable to the founder of the Heritage Front, Mr. Bristow? The Heri- tage Front was not even formed prior to Mr. Bristow being paid Notice was To the Editor: Regarding an announcement printed in the Tuesday, August 23 edition of the Scugog Citizen: "Mrs. Cathy Olliffe would like to announce that she has transferred her interest in the Scugog Citizen...." I am writing this letter to the Port Perry Star as I am concerned the Scugog Citizen might not print a letter from myself. Fact is, I have NOT transferred my interest in the Citizen to John McClelland and/or Valerie Ellis, and if I have a choice in the matter, I by CSIS. Now, the Ieritage Front is listed as this country's largest and most successful neo-Nazi group; four years after receiving CSIS funds, and is a potential threat to national se- curity. CSIS has other qualities worth discussion. In the world of spies, our government has to have one of the only unarmed intelligence networks in the world. Every spy organization worth mentioning has their offi- cers armed, but not here, our version of the CIA has a bunch of guys doling out cheques. They are armed with cheque- book in hand and pen ready to appear. Are the inmates running the asylum? And please do not refer to the words used by Roosevelt and Truman: "Yes, he's an S.0.B. but he's our S.0.B." Clean up the act, overhaul the ship. What are these guys do- ing? This ship called CSIS is in bad need of a crew change. Only in Canada do the bad guys get rewarded. # G. Trudell Hamilton misleading never will. The announcement is misleading when it says "Mrs. Cathy Olliffe would like to announce....". I wouldn't "like" to announce anything of the sort. For the record, I would like- to state the announcement caught me completely by surprise. I never read the Citizen and if my mother-in-law hadn't called to tell me about the ad, I never would have known it existed.

I withdraw the item, hungrily unwrap it and Notepad by Jeff Mitchell WHEN THE INEVITABLE OCCURS SOME RELISH WITH THAT? ...It was bound to happen, I suppose, sooner rather than later. There I was, camera at the ready, enjoying the warm sunshine of an August morning and the antics of a large group of kiddies, suddenly let loose in the great outdoors after putting on a con- cert for their folks in a church basement. The kids at Scugog Island United Church's Vacation Bible School had taken care of business, and they were ready to party. The voracious children lined up for hot dogs and drinks, careful to look out for the tinier ones among them. Oh, they were cute. I snapped pic- tures as they liberally applied ketchup and mus- I was leaning over a picnic table focusing on a hungry tot when it happened --Blort! When you're the parent of two young kids with attrocious table manners, you know how it feels when you've been smeared. So I registered my typical reaction -- recoiling as if I'd just stepped in something really nasty -- and observed the shirt sleeve that had been slimed by a beaming kid. Ketchup the length of my recently- laundered shirt sleeve. ...What else is there to do but take it in stride? Moms oohed and tsk-tsked, but I assured them it was all right. If it didn't happen at the church it was bound to just hours later, at my own dinner table. BUT WHAT'S IT MEAN? And speaking of odd culinary experiences, check this one out: Once again it's lunchtime, a beaming summer day. At a table in Palmer Park, I open the daily paper, stretch my legs comfortably, and reach into my lunch bag to see what Pamela has prepared for me. Let's see.. ham sandwich, okay, cookies -- hmmm, nice touch, oh, and a banana, I like bana- find -- half a raw onion. I've prepared my own lunches since then... IS THIS CAUSE FOR CONCERN? A word now about caterpillars, specifically the brown and orange wooly bear variety: When I was boy grow- ing up in the country I had a cousin who lived on a farm and could tell you exactly what the upcoming winter was going to be like based on the appearance of caterpillars. She'd hold one close to her thick-lensed glasses, grimace a bit, and say something like, "Hmmm... thick rings on these wooly bears.... gonna be a tough winter... probably a big blizzard around January 25th." Which was amazing to a boy of three or four, who was still learning to use the toilet properly. That's all fine, but if she were here now, I'd ask her this: What does it mean when they begin to commit suicide? The other day between hegre and Seagrave I squashed at least a dozen as they lum- bered onto the pavement and under my tires. And it's ongoing. I know -- I shudder -- the car- nage will con tinue when I drive home again tonight...
