A week ago, he swept to victory in the mayor's race leaving both his opponents far behind. To celebrate his victory at the polls, Bill threw a party at his home in Uxbridge for some 200 people, including quite a large contingent of friends from the Scugog area. But after the euphoria of victory, the rest of the week was pretty much downhill for the new mayor. Just two nights later at a Tory nomination meeting in Uxbridge, he was asked to say a few words of welcome as the new mayor of the township. And a few words it was. In front of some 650 people, Bill for the first time in his life was at a loss for words, literally. He drew a blank, and his exit from the stage was quick, to say the least. It was not an auspicious start for the new mayor. But things got even worse later in the week for Bill. At 3:00 A.M. Saturday, he was closing up his restaurant in Port Perry and went outside to let his car warm up for a few minutes. You guessed it. When Bill went back outside, his car was nowhere in sight. Somebody had stolen the mayor's automobile. It was a good week. SPORTS FLASH: Sporting history in Port Perry was made Saturday afternoon when Dr. John Hammett rolled a score of 267 in the Big Brothers Bowl for Millions Celebrity Bowl. John is a pretty fair basketball player, but he bowls about twice a year, so 267 is not bad for an amateur. Already, there are a couple of league teams negotiating to sign him, but John says they should talk to his agent. Yep, 267; five strikes and four spares. Some game.

The P.P.H.S. secretarial staff assisted in so many different ways it would be impossible to list them all, but in particular we apprec- iate their efforts in the prep- aration of the information book given to each B.C. student. We thank Flamingo Pastries for the tour and samples they provided, and Dorothy Bourgeois for arranging the tour. The Centennial students visited two farms and we appreciate the hospitality received from John and Eric Bonsma and Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Baird and family. So many non band mem- bers at the High School gave freely of their time to help serve our banquet, help at the concert, and give up a day to help acquire items for our auction. The Port Perry Star gave us great coverage in both the presentation and fruition of our project. Again the biggest thank you goes to our community of Scugog for its spirit of warmth and hospitality and for providing the banquet which demonstrated so well the strength of the small community, its sociality! We gave fifty-two students from B.C. an education, a wonderful priceless exper- ience and all be it in a small way, we have drawn our country a little closer together.
