(Turn to page 6) PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, October 4, 1978 -- 5 letters Dear Sir: I read with trepidation a recent article in the Star . concerning deer hunting in Scugog. It appears the hunt is in doubt. My family and I are bitter- ly disappointed. We are somewhat isolated and each Autumn we look forward eagerly to the crush of vehicles parked spasmodi- cally up and down the road as far as the eye can squint. We don't mind a smidge that most of the occupants are surly, uncommunicative and armed to the teeth, we enjoy the company. You have to admire these people. It says oodles for the intelligence of someone who is able to thrash his way through the thickest of undergrowth in the dark of a soggy night with nothing much more than a flashlight. These dancing lights are a source of great cheer, being remini- scent of fireflies on warm summer evenings. We are thrilled to pieces that the Game Wardens are much too far away to crimp our nos talgia. You light up my life. Many unscrupulous land- owners have posted Private Property notices forcing the less intrepid to crouch in the ditches, guns bristling, eyes glazed, some perhaps with memories of foxholes in chotterbox ....... ELECTION DAY FRUSTRATION With election day only six weeks away and more and more candidates coming out of the woodwork to declare their intentions, it seemed the appropriate time to inject a glittle fun into the political ring. With two years under their belts, present councillors have decided they will run for positions on council again, but the upcoming election must have them wondering about their fate. With that in mind, listed below are the council members and what I feel will most frustrate them in the upcoming election. ~ They are as follows: Mayor Lawrence Malcolm - after getting used to running the last two terms against the same opponent -, having to sygitch opponents. + * Regional Councillor Rose - wondering what the "chain of office" would look like around his neck! Councillor Vern Asselstine - having to run for a council seat in Scugog Township when he lives so close to Newcastle. Councillor Richard Drew - the possibility of getting back his seat by acclamation rather than being elected. Councillor Jerry Taylor - whether as Mayor he should vote in the "negative" or '"'positive" in the case of a split council. Councillor Don Crosier - getting council to agree to eallowing mobile homes on farms for sons and daughters of ~ farmers. Councillor Neil McLaughlin - the thought of having to stay awake for another two years through those dull council meetings. If you have any thoughts about what frustrates each of the above councillors, send them to '"The Councillors, c-0 Port Perry Star, Box 90, Port Perry, Ontario. The Star will publish some of those received, and the entry with the best ideas, (as picked by the Star staff) will win a $10 gift certificate. Try your luck. It could be fun and rewarding. PATIENT FANS Area sports fans who find it in their hearts to cheer for Toronto based teams are getting the short end of the shaft this year. The "Jays", although having improved slightly from last year, have ended their season in the cellar. The "Argos" are continuing their on-going torture of defeat after defeat and it looks as if the 'Leafs' are going to follow suit. It has not been what you could call an encouraging year for the fans, who despite the continual losses by their favourite teams, have been true-blue right to the end. Argo fans are still shaking their heads in disgust! And many of them have been getting used to walking out at half-time never to look back. Blue Jay fans have been patient. The Jays are a young ° club and even the dejected fans realize that it takes a few years to build a young club into a winning team. With Toronto's record........ they'll have to be very patient! And the Leaf fans, God bless them, are just beginning to get a taste of what could be a disastrous season for the '"'boys-in-blue-"', dropping their opener with the Habs by a 9 to 1 score. Oh well, there's always next year! SPEAKING OF SPORTS And speaking of sports, anyone who is NOT a sport enthusiast must dread this time of year. It's a time when everything takes a back-seat to the activities on the screen. But for the "sports-nut........ it's a dream come true. Very soon now television stations from coast-to-coast will be crammed with every conceivable type of sport activity imaginable. There'll be the CFL and NFL playoffs, the Grey Cup, Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl and Super Bowl, Golf Classics, NHL and WHA hockey telecasts, basketball and an assortment of miscellaneous sporting events carried by Wide World of Sports, which will undoubtedly include a re-run, or two , of the Ali-Spinks fight. Wives will become sports widows once again, as the "ole man" slides into his easy chair with a bottle of beer in one hand and a dish of pretzels in the other. And the only reason he'll consider moving is for the call of nature or another bottle of the cold brew. And with a little luck, he will probably con the "ole lady" into bringing the beer while he trots off to the John. This way he won't miss one important play before the commercial break is over. Preparations for winter will once again be put off until another day, or at least until the Mrs. can't be bothered 'Deer hunting??? France, the basic squat in- dicative of leg collapse or spontaneous diarrhea. But the hunt must go forward. I've spent a great deal of time and money in preparation for this thing. My biggest expense was for a luminous Flak Jacket for my daughter who is two, has doe eyes and funs like a deer. Next came a battery blinker for our cat who is tall for his age and peeks sudden- ly out of bushes. I've constructed a sign in front of the house which reads "HOUSE", and simi- larly, CAR". Said car has been rigorous- ly tuned because last year I incurred incredulous con- tempt as I spluttered down the road with my rapping tappets and miasmic ex- haust. I huddled in a sleezy motel room for a solid week ravished by guilt and shame. The cold room has been stocked for a long siege. We have all rehearsed a password to facilitate entry into the house. We have practised hurling ourselves to the ground until we are faint. I am now able to rake my leaves zigzag and with olympic alacrity. (Turn to page 6) waiting any longer. While he is inside stretched out in his comfortable lounger slugging back the brew, she'll be outside washing the storm windows, raking the leaves and cleaning the yard in preparation for winter. Ah, yes! Fall is a wonderful time of the year. . AND IN CLOSING Life is cruel to men! When they're born, their mothers get the compliments and flowers....... whn they're married, their brides get the presents and publicity, and when they die, their wives get the insurance and winter vacations in Florida.
