J 18 hi "These three young ladies from the Third Port Perry Brownie Pack spent part .of Monday afternoon helping to spruce up Queen Street by picking up papers, trash, pop cans and bottles. The girls are Martha McCallum (left) Patricia Bolton and Peggy Webb: Mr. Doug Coppins, who has. operated the Port Perry Marina since August 1, 1970 feels that the recent decision made by Port Perry Council to put out tenders for the marina operation this year is unfair. When told of this decision at 'the 'council meeting of May, Mr. Coppins reacted angrily saying, "I"veput a lot of money into that (marina) operation, and I want to know now why I'm being kicked out." ) He also said that the decision to put out tenders could mean that the marina might not open until as late as June 1. He said in a later interview that with the ' Marina tender upsets operator fishing _season. opening-4his. .. municipakwbrktobedoneby - thing educationally.unique.to.. week-end, boat owners are going to be demanding that the marina be open. Council's decision to put out the tenders was based on the fact that Mr. Coppins did have the opportunity to negotiate a lease for the operation more than a year ago, and did not exercise his option, although he did receive notice in late 1970 that the agreement he was working under would expire at the end of that year. It was also argued by. Councillor Gerald Jackman that with the expiration of the lease, .the Village has an obligation to seek tenders the same way it does for any Toronto woman drowns in Scugog boating accident A boating mishap on Lake Scugog Saturday morning has claimed the life of a Toronto woman. Dead is Mrs. Margarita Popov, aged 29, of Toronto. ? A spokesman for the Whitby OPP said the acci- dent occurred at about 11:30 Saturday morning when a motorboat in which Mrs. Popov, her husband Demitri aged 31, and another couple, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Karazi- noff also of Toronto, were riding overturned in choppy water off Seven-Mile Point. They had been in the water some fifty feet off-shore for about 20 minutes before HOSPITAL REPORT Week Ending Thurs., May 4 Admissions .............. 40 Births:i.: 0000. 000 eed 3 Deaths ........ tava vos 1 Emergencies ........... 117 Operations .............. 15 Discharges .............. 40 Remaining ............... 43 being brought to shore by a Mr. R.

A post mortem conducted by pathologist Dr. A.M. Lafarga indicated death was caused by asphyxiation due to drowning. Firemen from the Port Perry, Reach and Scugog Department and attendants of Brignall"s Ambulance worked on the victim with a resuscitator but to no avail. The three others who were rescued were treated at the Community Hospital in Port Perry for shock and exposure and then released the same day. Investigation of the mishap was carried out by G.B. Gibson of the Whitby OPP Detachment. It is not known at this time whether an inquest will be held. a private individual or firm, Mr. Coppins said in a later interview that he was upset by the fact that he had only been informed on very short notice that the operation would be put out to tender. He said he has already given the Village a sum of money for' the first four months rent for - 1972, and as well has been granted a 1972 licence to handle marina gas, and has a licence from the Village to operate a concession. He also added that when he (continued on page 12) Volume 106 -- Port Perry, Ontario, Wednesday, May 10, 1972 -- No. 29 Technical education of value to every student. Queen's professor "Technical educators have a responsibility to "keep technical education vigor- ous. Not because it may permit continued employ- .ment, but because technical education is both extrinsic- ally and intrinsically val- uable to every student. } f technical teachers can- not heartily subscribe to this, --they-are phonies and should leave the profession." This is what Professor D. E. Loney of Queen's Univer- sity told a meeting of more than 100 Ontario County Technical and Occupations subjects teachers held Mon- day evening at Oshawa's Eastdale Collegiate. Professor Loney is the Co-ordinator of Technical Education in the Faculty of Education at Queen's Uni- versity. In his address he stressed the need to show boards, principals and parents that !' "technical studies have some- offer. "Otherwise," he said, 'let the essentials be taught by subjects that require less space, less equipment -and less money." Still on the same theme he stressed that the foundations of technical education must be examined rigorously and critically, to' provide the answers to the questions being forged by economic pressures, or face the threat of distinction. Technical educators must also assume the responsi- bility of preparing youth for the world of the future, not the world of the past, said Professor Loney, and em- phasized that these worlds are not the same, He also told the teachers that good public relations is needed to impress upon parents and students that social-economic levels have nothing todo with the number of students who may enroll in technical programs. Techn- ~ical'education is valuable, he said, even for the student who may not plan to pursue a career in one of the trades. Professor Loney was speaking at a Professional Development Evening for Technical and Occupations teachers of high schools in Ontario County. Mr. M.J. Mowbray, Chair- man of Ontario County Board of Education spoke briefly and commended a task force of technical teachers who are preparing a report on the progress, aims and problems encountered with technical education. Mr. Mowbray said it is more advantageous for the teachers themselves to do the evaluating rather than to leave it to 'so-called outside experts." Mr. G. Isford also spoke on the subject of 'technical certification," Eight teachers from Port Perry High School attended the meeting, and it was announced that Gerry Mac- Tavish and Stan Lefort will be part. of the 1973 Profess- ional Development Commit- tee. Jack Fisher, who is Committee Chairman this year will stay on in this position next year. Vandelism forces closing of Post Office lobby As a result of increasing incidents of vandalism and willful damage, the lock-box lobby of the Port Perry Post Office will be closed at 7:00 p.m. each night, with this new regulation having been in effect since Monday. Postmaster Bruce Hull said that in the past few months, the outside lock on the Post Office has been broken, light switches have been damaged in the lock box lobby, and there have been unsuccessful attempts to force entry into some of the Construction on a factory for the K.R. Coulter Company Ltd. has been under way for about a month now, at the new industrial park a mile south of Port Perry on the Oshawa Road. The company will be producing components for the automotive industry. The industrial site is to be known as the Dr. Matthew Dymond Industrial Park. PA 07 Rou Th taal LOTR p! - that lock boxes. Mr. Hull said that a small amount of damage etc. can be expected, "but when the security of the mails is involved, that's it. From a security standpoint, we have to keep the door - locked now." Keeping the lock-box lobby open on a 24-hour basis was first tried as an experiment a couple of years ago. It worked out quite well, except for this winter when the cases of vandalism increased, despite police surveillance. The new rules mean that lock-box holders will be able to pick up their mail from 8:00 am. to 7:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday. A decision on whether the lock-box lobby will be open on -~-Sundays has not been made -yet. In explaining the situation Mr. Hull said it is too bad that the decision to lock the lobby had to be made because of the foolish actions of a few. He also said that those respon- sible for tampering with the lock-boxes may not realize tampering with the mails is a very serious offense, and conviction can lead to a iail sentence.
