Outgrowing Location PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Mar. 30, 1977 -- 5 Fair site could be moved The Port Perry Agricul- tural Society has spent con- siderable funds on the fair grounds in Port Perry in recent years, and is faced with even more projects in years to come, including fence construction probably costing well over $6,000. Problem is, the fair board leases the land from the township and wants to make sure it isn't spending the money only to be kicked out at some future date. On the othier hand, the fair board isn't at all sure that the present fair grounds will be big enough to accomodate the fair five years from now; "I'm convinved that last year's fair was too big for the grounds,' said Ron Deeth of the society. He said he was concerned that the gounds wouldn't be big enough to accomodate a fair five years from now if the rate of growth over the past few years continues. Deeth and some of the fair board members are Call the STAR 985-7383 thinking about moving to the new arena site, a sug- gestion that wasn't ruled out by council. Mr. Deeth said some deal would have to be arrived at. Either a long-term lease stretching over 20 years or more, or a new site. Coun. Jerry Taylor ap- peared to favour the new site proposal, questioning the growth capacity of the present fair grounds. Mr. Deeth said if and when the fair board moved to the arena site, the project could be done on a joint basis with other community organizations and groups, and could incorporate a sport complex-type develop- ment as well as a perman- ent home for the fair. Development meeting A meeting this Monday with the Durham Region development director, Robert J. Nicol, has been requested by Scugog Town- ship Council. It promises to be a hot one. The development director will attempt to convince Scugog Township Council why they shouldn't get '"'confidential" information about industry wishing to locate in the Region, while Council will try to prove the opposite. . Council wants a list of prospective industry so they can help lure them to Scugog. Two resolutions endorsed by council on March 14 asked for the list, and authorized council to set up a committee of coun- cil and other interested par- ties to pursue industries and promote Scugog as a poten- tial site. But in a letter to council, Nicol said that he was un- aware that 'such 'motions" were being made, and asked that he be allowed to appear before council...in camera...to explain the rea- son why industrial develop- ment proposals cannot be discussed in public. Coun. Richard Drew, author of the original motions, welcomed the ex- planation. "Tell him to bring the list along," he smiled. ~ All For Love university regulations, and the to continue the pretence that I was a jokes, and readily buy their raffle tickets. pe --ia nt being loved for all the wrong reasons. This has been happening to me all my life. My wife fell in love with me because I was the first live one she'd met in three years at university. I was just home from overseas, cocky as a young black bass. ~Until then, the only college men she'd met were flat-foots or four-eyes, whose idea of a hot date was to ask her out, dutch-treat, for a coffee, and breathe heavily over their own passion for Wordsworth's poetry. She was a good, sweet girl who believed sanctity of Great Writers. I soon cured her of that. I introduced her into a small than Browning, sex than saintliness. We didn't want to go to college; we wanted to go to Mexico. We didn't want to marry and have children and grown old together; we wanted to have 18 illicit affairs and die young of sheer depravity. It was all a facade, of course, but she was fascinated. And for the next 30 years, I had electric and starter. Subscription rates for the Globe daily - $4.00.

I'm not a leader; I'm a follower, even though sometimes I appear to be going sideways or backwards. Final blow came the other day when she caught me trying to figure out how much pension I'd get if I retired in three years. It sank in at last that she had married, not the Scarlet Pimpernel, but Elmer Fudd. Same thing with my kids. They seemed to love me, but for all the wrong reasons. When I was a weekly editor, they thought I was the most important man in town. Don't know where they got the idea. They never saw me cringing behind the receiver when some old lady had called me up and was wiping me out over the phone because I'd either left one pall bearer out, or put in one too many, in the write-up of her old man's funeral. The kids thought I was a great father because I took them on the Ferris wheel and roller coaster when they were little, They didn't realize I was a quivering jelly inside. From their bedtime stories, they knew I had won the war practically single-handed, but thought I was just a peacemaker when I backed up smartly in argument with their mother. ar A story all over again with my colleagues. Love me for all the wrong reasons. They seem to think that just because I'm an outstanding shuffleboard player, a superb Russian billiards show, an extraordinarily acute poker player, a snappy dresser who never wears the same shirt more than three days in a row, and a bon vivant who can get through the cafeter- ia's shepherd's pie with the best of them, I should be an object of adoration, if not veneration. They don't see beneath that dazzling surface at all. They utterly fail to recognize the gentleness, the sweetness, the academic brilliance, and the humility 'that make up the real me.. I have the same trouble with my stud- ents. I won't say they worship me. I won't go that far. But it's not unusual to walk into my classroom and find candies burning in front of the portrait one of our art teachers has painted of me. Once again, it's for the wrong reasons, they love me because they think I love teaching, love teenagers, tell sparkling In fact, the only reason I teach is the long summer 'holiday; teenagers are difficult to love, even your own; not one of my jokes is less than eight years old; and I buy their blasted tickets because I don't want my tires slashed. Why don't they love me for my unquen- chable optimism; that some day I'll hit three good blows in a row on the golf course; that some day I'll spend most of the time on the trail upright on my skis, rather than down right on my fanny? Yes. It's disconcerting to-be constantly loved for the wrong reasons. That's why Quebec is so disconcerted these days. Suddenly, millions of Canadians, who never gave her a look or a thought before, love La Belle Province. But do they love her for the right reasons? Do they love her because she is toujours gai, aussi charmante, full of elan, and a hell of a gourmet cook? Nope. do they love her because she is much more bilingual than the rest of us, and because she is bursting with creativity? Nope. They love her because the sulky bad- tempered magnificently-endowed daughter threatens to leave home, with her dowry under her arm. After years of being loved for all the wrong reasons, I know just how you feel, Rene Levesque. The Argyle Syndicate Ltd. Phone $25 138) Shas, 'Q CNA i _-- PORT PERRY STAR Company Limited {om J.
