Q -Ooo ekl 'ies edesa-- oem- r1. 7i ) i Local woman wins distinction award Mary Lofthouse, a long- time Kendal resident was honoured last Thursday with a "Woman of Distinction" award.* Mary received her award in the "Non Traditional Roles" category. The awards, hosted by the Durham Region YWCA, honour women throughout the Durham Region. Mary received her nomination from Ed Lukow, of BDO Dunwoody. In 1984, after receiving her University diploma in Library Science, and Fine Arts, Mary went to join her father in the 'brass forging' business he had started in 1957. "It was not a patb 1 had chosen", said Mary, "but it became apparent that some- one from. the family had to step in." When her dad died in 1989, Mary and her sister Jean took over the business. In 1990, they decided to develop the business and make it a success rather than seil it. Since that time both of the Lofihouse Brass plants, in Whitby and in Burk's Falls, have received IS0 certifica- tion. "Now we are among the best in the world for what we do," stated Mary in an inter- view last Friday. At the time of her father's deatb, Mary became the president of the company. Recently she has become Chairman of the Board, and credits the success of the business to the many great, people wbo run the day-to- day operationis. Other women who received awards Thursday night were: Marjorie Kirkconnell, Lydia Francis, Laurie Argent, Kay Buffet, Paula1 Lishman, Leah Houston, Lesley Poole and Kaye Egan.
