OrcGo Weekly Times, Wednesday, November-20, 1996 3 Sév Woody Happy Birthday from your family and friends. Dear Troy: I messed up. I was sched- uled to represent the Town at the Orono Remebrance Day Service. Because of illness I was unable to attend. However, I should have made arrange- ments for someone else to be there. If I had been thinking clearly on Sunday I would have done so. The Town has always been careful to ensure that a Council representative is at each of the Remembrance Day services held in Clarington. Any member of Council would have been pleased to attend in my place. I regret at that this did not happen, and I apologize to those present at the Orono service. I have not missed a Remembrance Day service for many years because I think it is important for us to pause and remember. Although I was pre- vented from attending this year, I remain personally grateful to our veterans and their families who made so many sacrifices on our behalf. David Scott Local Councillor, Ward 3 (Editor's Note: It is refresh- ing to see a politician admit- ting when they have made a mistake. They are only human, and sometime do "mess up". David Scott's apol- ogy is good enough for me. It takes a lot of guts to place yourself on the line publically like that, especially when he could have sat back and kept quiet. I have always had a lot of respect for David Scott; it is even a little higher now.) To the Editor: St. Stephen's Secondary School in Bowmanville respond- ed to the Article entitled "Three Sponsors pull violent TV Series", written in the Toronto Star on November 9th. Students have put their spirits into action, and have clearly indicated that we believe we can make a difference by affirming big business. Signatures totalling 409 in number went to Eaton's, Leon's Furniture, and the Ontario Lottery Corporation. The Preface to our signatures reads as follows: "In response to the article entitled 'Three sponsors pull ads from violent TV series', writ- ten in November 9th issue of 'Saturday Star', our community at St. Stephen's Secondary School in Bowmanville wishes to congratulate you. When major advertisers assume lead- ing roles to bring about change in our television programming, change that clearly indicated violence and terror have no place in our entertainment industry, real hope for present and future generations will ensue. As part of our Remembrance Day gathering here at St. Stephen's Secondary School everyone had been given an opportunity to witness support of your recent actions in this regard: This support is indi- cated in the signatures that fol- low. Thank you for reminding us that we can make a difference in promoting responsible tele- vision programming through boycotting programs likc "Millennium" and "Poltergeist: The Legacy". InuOUopinion your actions are in the right direction. Once again, we the under- signed congratulate you on your company's efforts to encourage decent public broad- casting. (Eaton's, Leon's Furniture and the Onitario Lottery Corp.)"
