We hope that all students whether they are starting Junior Kindergarten or heading for university, that everyone will have a good year and a safe one. Don't forget drivers, flash- ing red lights and a stop sign on a school bus means all traffic must stop from both directions. Help our bus drivers make it a safe year for our children.

PETER HVIDSTEN / PORT PERRY STAR STRUTTING THEIR STUFF - A team of Percherons owned by Willowdale Farms of Lindsay makes its way past the grandstand Monday at the Port Perry Fair. The team took the first place ribbon in its class. Aerobics classes in Blackstock starting up on September 18th The Blackstock Wom- en's Institute has just an- nounced the launch of their second annual series of aerobics classes. Orga- nized in a 10 week format, there will be multiple classes during various times of the day, with the first classes set to begin on Monday, Sept. 18. Regis- tration will be held on Sept. 12 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Blackstock United Church. The Women's Institute first presented aerobics classes last year, as part of their interest in the pro- motron of healthy life- styles and well-being of Canadians. The response last fall was outstanding. Participants enjoyed the variety of exercise levels, the many different times that sessions were availa- ble, and the leadership of the instructor, Mary Sis- sons. Rather than alter a good thing, the institute group decided to repeat the program again this year with all the same fea- tures and the same in- structor. The classes offered are an easy aerobics session at 2 p.m. on Monday after- noons in Blackstock, with more advanced programs on Tuesday evenings in Blackstock and Thursday nights in Nestleton. De- pending upon registration numbers, the evening ses- sions may include two classes per evening. The program is offered at a cost of $30 for the entire 10 weeks of aerobics. Anyone wishing to take part must be registered prior to the start of the first week of classes. : So dust off the running shoes, pack your towels and come out for some fun, exercise and good compa- ny with your neighbors and friends. For further information contact Dora Martyn at 986-5378 or Pat Sleep at 986-4280. A glance at the calendar shows season is changing One look at the calendar tells the story of the year. Look out when driving, the kids are back to school. The weather has cooled slightly which is the first sign of fall. Soon the leaves will change color along with frosty nights. Let's all be thankful for the best summer we.have had in years. Don't forget you fellas you have an appointment this Thursday, Sept. 7 from 6-8:30 p.m. for regis- tration of all scouting groups of Cartwright at Blackstock United Church. Start the season off right you Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers by getting registered this Thursday. Had a call Monday in- forming me all girls in- volved in the scouting movement of Cartwright to register this coming Monday, Sept. 11 at Blackstock United Church 6 to 8 p.m.This includes Sparks, Brownies, Girl Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers. Remember many of our women politi- cians today were at one time a Girl Guide. Had a call from Len Prout over the weekend and he informs me that Mrs. Curly Mahaffy cele- brated her 79th birthday. + Curly's maiden name was Reynolds and was born here in Caesarea and has seen four generations fol- lowing her. Most all have Caesarea by Albert Putsey been at one time or an- other very active in Cae- sarea activities. Let me know if you or any other family can top this? This week one of the first chapters ended in the Bernardo/Homolka case. Chapter two will be his sentence and then his law- yer's appeal for a new trial. Many people want Karla Homolka's case reo- pened which I'm against. I remember speaking with one of my clients whom was very successful in the new and used car business one day. I asked what business school he attend- ed? His answer was "I guess I got my education from my father who said, "to make an agreement it must be fair to both par- ties, if not it must be made fair. If this cannot be as- certained it must be termi- nated." Could you have any re- spect for the crown if they cancelled their agreement at this late date after re- ceiving all the information to base their case against Bernardo from Karla. Sept. 5 is Pine Ridge Garden Club meeting at Nestleton Hall at 8 p.m. Due to two of the princi- pals at the hall board hav- ing to work, this months meeting will be posted in the store. The hall board is very thankful to Tracy Campbell of Scugog Point for her donation of the fridge. Also to Karen McEachern for the stove and telephone. That's really getting behind the hall board. Thank you. This week we were sad- dened to hear of the death of Robert Smith, one of the active partners of the Blackstock Hardware. We extend our sincere condo- lences and sympathies to his wife Patricia and the families. Remember to bring your humming bird feeders in now. If you don't they'll stay on and the cold weather will have its ef- fects. Also the first two weeks of September is the time to weed spray your lawn. You'll have no dan- delions next spring. Saying of the Week Happinessis the full use of your powers along lines of excellence in a life af- fording scope. John I.
