Every other Tuesday is craft night at 7:30 p.m., next meeting Oct. 18. Every Wednesday night it's cloggers at 8 p.m. Eve- ry Thursday, Looney Bin 9:30 to 11 a.m., Beavers 6:15 to 7:15 .m., then Dog Obedience raining 7:30 p.m. Bingo is starting Saturday, Oct. 22 at 7:30 p.m. and will run every oth- er week thereafter providing we get the turnout. Saturday, Oct. 29 is the Halloween Dance at 8 pm. A very busy village, wouldn't you say? We had a good Saturday af- ternoon and evening at the Park. We expected more of a turnout for the horseshoes, and the volleyball didn't come up to expectations, but the 30 who turned out had a good evening of fun. The Pine Ridge Garden Club had an excellent turnout Tues- day night. I believe it was the largest attendance yet. Ken Carmichael gave an excellent talk, along with his slides on birds, plus his odd joke made a memorable evening. There was also a competition this month on fall flower ar- ranging. This is one organization which is growing each month and great credit should be ex- tended to their executive for the stimulating program they have. The Firemen's Ball had a great evening Saturday night and they were not disappointed in the turnout. They are staging for firemen a car rally Saturday Oct. 15 at 12:30 p.m. from the fire hall. Give a wave to these cars as they go by and have a good look at their getups. Good luck, gang. You shouldn't go to the elec- tion polls unless you have some knowledge of these people who are going to represent you for the next three years of local gov- ernment. Be sure to attend the all candidates meeting Oct. 26 at the Port Perry High School. Let's hope we have a full slate of competitors in all wards and school boards. Your next local government isin your hands. I was greatly moved and dis- mayed this week by our judicial system and I'm wondering when common sense is going to come home to some of these judges. This regards a case of rape of a woman which was made to the courts and the judge threw it out because the man was drunk. Our congratulations to Ei- leen and Harold McLaughlin on their 45th wedding anniversary this Thanksgiving weekend. They're the people who have that beautiful estate on Hwy. 57. Eileen is always out to the Pine Ridge meetings. Congratu- lations, folks! Called Dave Dietlein this week and also saw him at the Hall Board meeting last Sun- day. He is feeling great but has spent some time last week hav- ing assessments made. He ex- pects to have more tests this week and then start the treat- ment next week or the following week. We can only say thanks Dave for representing us so well on council and the very best of luck to you. Uxbritlge WEE SEATIEE 23 1. Large tree removal & pruning 2. and shrub trimming 3 chipping 4.
