Harry Tunbridge, an efficiency engineer from Brooklin will repre- sent the Confederation of Regions (COR) party. The party was registered in May and is expecting to field 32 can- didates in the provinical election. Tunbridge has stated that the ideals and principals of the party Street Dance may be last to be held in Orono The Great Pine Ridge Kinsmen Club held their annual Street Dance on Saturday evening in Orono. The entire proceeds from the dance are to be allocated to community groups and for Cystic Fibrosis Research. The venue this year was on Cen- tre Street between Main and Church Streets. The evenings events, dancing to country music, socializing and en- joying beef-on-a-bun, provided by the Great Pine Ridge Kinettes, was enjoyed by many. Unfortunately sometime later after the closing of the event at 1 a.m. fights broke out resulting in police action. Superintendent Westbrook of the Durham Regional Police said Merle and Emily Slute (pictured On August 9th, the Orono Hor- Church. above) were the judges for the re- ticulture Society held their Summer There was a large entry of ex- cent Orono Horticultural Society's Flower and Vegetable Show, in the hibits in all classes, judged by Merle Summer Show. meeting room of the Orono United and Emily Slute from Bowmanville.

Friday even- ing, September 8th at 7:30 p.m. the crashing of metal will be heard at the Orono Fairgrounds as thirty drivers go into the ring to compete for $800.00 in prize money. Also at stake is the opportunity for the top driver to compete against the top drivers from all the other derbies operated by Thrill Show Produc- tions. This Grand Event takes place at the Simcoe Fair on Thanksgiving weekend. In 1989 Durham Central Fair, hired an American company to operate the demolition derby at the fair. This proved a mistake as the rules set up by the Americans were not consistent with the rules generally used by the - Canadian operators. Therefore, anyone plan- ning to enter more than one derby v iuld not find the rules compati- ble. Rules and entry forms for this year's derby are available at Highway il5 Truck and Auto on Highway 115 soutb of Orono. on Monday that a full police report of the incident wasn't available. He did say that four people were ar- rested for being drunk in a public place and that the Regional Police were extremely concerned over the conduct of persons attending the event. According to. the superintendent a full report will be made to the Town of Newcastle and to the Li- quor Control Board of Ontario. According to a member of the local club it is doubtful that the event will be carried on and that they will make a report this coming week. It was also pointed out that the club had hired two police officers who had left at i1 p.m. at the closing of the event. Orono man representing NDP m Durham East On August 4, Gord Mills an- nounced bis intention to seek the New Democrat nomination for Durham East. On August 5, he at- tended the official New Democrat Party election "kick-off" at the Skyline Hotel, Toronto, attended by New Democratic leader Bob Rae and about 200 candidates. Gord Mills said, that the riding will bold the nomination meeting on August 14, in Bowmanville at the Memorial Park Club building on Liberty Street, starting at 7:30 p.m. The delay in calling the meeting bas been brougbt about, by the actions of the Liberals, wbo called the election, during a holiday period, wben tbe, riding officers were either on vacation, or honor- ing previous commitments. Wben asked for bis reasons in seeking the nomination, Gord Mills said, "Democracy is very precious, and to pieserve that ideal, the people should have a full choice of can- didates to choose from, which is why I am offering myself as the New Democrat in Durham East. Unfortunately, the constitution is silent on calling elections before the end of a five-year term. That opens the door for the sort of manipula- tion the voters of Ontario are now facing." Gord Mills also states, "The elec- tion is to cost about $40 million, and appears to be an obscene waste of the taxpayer's money. I feel that the Liberals have called this election to avoid the political fallout of up- coming legal and economic woes. Their actions are a cynical approach to evade accountability, when the future looks troubling for Ontario's nine million people. The Liberals have failed the people of Ontario in environment issues, in education, in providing more hospitai beds, and in auto insurance. The Treasurer of Ontario, Mr. Robert Nixon, bas made twenty-eight tax increases d uring bis term of office. Time after time, wben it came to making a cboice about the direction of our province, the Liberals ignored peo- ple, and sold out to their big money friends: the developers, the big polluters, the tax free loaders, and the insurance companies. I look forward, if successful at the nomination meeting, to discussing these issues, and others, with everyone in the riding of Durham East, before September 6th." Entertainment enjoyed at barbecue are very simple with a key issue be- ing there should only be one work- ing language in Canada. Tunbridge states that Canada is going in the opposite direction to that of other major countries who have been adopting English as the working language. "COR", states the candidate will never be affiliated with any special interest groups. "We will listen and understand but we will never be af- filiated". Happ enin ...
