Fea Qo Yr FIV mei, Yr 2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., October 1, 1980 Christie seeks P.C. nomination (From page 1) has actively campaigned on behalf of Conservative candidates in several provincial and federal elections. With Bill Newman getting YVONNE CHRISTIE out of active politics because of health reasons, just who will get the nomination to succeed him as the Tory candidate in York-Durham is shaping up as an interest- ing political struggle. Although Mrs. Christie is the first to make a formal public declaration of her intentions, there are at least two others expressing more than just a passing interest g in the job. Long-time Regional councillor from Scugog Reg. Rose is one. And while he stopped short of making an official declaration when contacted by the Star Mon- day morning, Mr. Rose did say that he is strongly inter- ested in the nomination. Mr. Rose is stepping down BUILT TO rect. 40 gal stip fuel tank, dual exhaust system, power steering, 20/7.5 front wheel as Scugog's rep on the Durham council when the municipal election is held this November. A third candidate for the Conservative nomination who is giving the idea '"'very serious consideration' is Georgina Township farmer, Ross Stevenson. Mr. Stevenson, 38, who operates a hog and beef farm on Regional Road 23 about 12 " miles north of Uxbridge, would not make an official declaration when contacted by the Star on Monday morning. "I'll be stating my intent- ions some time in the future", said Mr. Stevenson. However, Mr. Stevenson has already been doing a little campaigning for the nomination. At the Port Perry Fair over the Labour Day weekend, he was being introduced as a possible candidate by Port Perry physician Dr. Bill Cohoon, a long-time Conservative Party supporter from this area. Mr. Stevenson holds a doctorate in agriculture meteorology, and lectured at the University of Guelph 'Crop Sciences department for seven years before returning in 1976 to take over the family farming operation north of Uxbridge.
