6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Thursday, Sept. 4, 1975 ~ News of interest from Scugog Island Last weekend, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Redman were accompanied by the latter's sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hewson of Whitby, when they vacation- ed around Lake Placid, New York State.

Saturday night, the double preséntation at the ggmmun- ity Hall to FE the former Janice Budge and her husband, Jim Gerrow, along with the former Debbie Leahy and her husband, Eric 0'Quinn, proved to be- a wonderful evening for the newly weds and the large' number of friends who at- tended.

Jan and .im were presented with a lainp table, a cheese board and knife, and Babbling reporters..bias press.. continued pressure or mampulation. We have now probably reached the point we would have been back at the initial __stages, had our council taken control of the situation and placed the proposal in pros- pective to the community. Letus™ hope that further is- sues placed before them re- ceive their appropriate at- tention and that decisions are made in respect to the overall community develop- ment. I hope also that our newspaper will see fit to regain its creditibility by maintaining complete news coverage and not create the image of a babbling reporter présenting his views. Irregardless of the pros and cons and the final decis- ion of the penitentiary issue it is hoped that there are still people left in this community who are humble enough and big enough to accept the decision and prepared to continue to contribute con- structively to the develop- ment of this community. personal Roland M. Coy, . R.R.1, Blackstock Editor' Note: Like we keep saying. There are two kinds of people in Scugog. Those against the penitentiary and the biased ones.
