iW The gym at Cartwright Central Public School was overflowing with friends and well-wishers last Sunday afternoon when Cart- wright High School toasted its retiring principal, Gordon Paisley (shown above cutting cake with present CHS Student Council Presi- dent Norma Jean Newbold). It was an emotional day for Mr. Paisley, who was reunited with former students in a career going back some 34 years with '"the smallest high school in the province." Known as a friend as well as principal and pillar of the community, Mr. Paisley will be missed by students and parents alike. See the Blackstock News, inside, for details. Pastor asks stores to rid shelves of erotic magazines A Port Perry clergy- man wants local stores to stop selling such magazines as Playboy, Playgirl and Penthouse. Rev. Ralph Hilsden, Pastor at the Port Perry Pentecostal Church on Queen Street, told the Star last week he has had '"'discussions" with the managers of at least two local stores asking why they feel they have to make this kind of material available for sale. Rev. Hilsden said he is acting out of "concern for the moral fibre of the community"', and what he described as the "deteriorating morals of society'. He said that while he is aware of other indiv- iduals in Port Perry who share his concerns on this issue, he stressed that he is not speaking for any particular group and in no way did he ever threaten a boycott of stores which continue to sell these kinds of magazines. The Star has learned that in recent weeks, at least one local store owner who sells Pent- Collision causes $7500 damage There wereno serious injuries in a two car accident May 21 on Highway 7A about one- half mile east of the causeway. A spokesman for Whitby OPP said the accident took place shortly after 9:00 P.M. when a westbound car driven by Raymond Heeley of Richmond Hill went out of control And crossed the centre line striking an eastbound car driven by John Churchill of Blackstock. Police estimate damage to the Heeley vehicle at $3000 and about $4500 damage to the Churchill vehicle. There were no charges laid as a result of the accident as police say it was due to a section of the westbound lane of the highway under repair. Tha. 'ion of the highway was damaged late this winter by flooding and has still not been repaired by the provincial highways department. house,Playboy, Playgirl and other magazines has had complaints from a couple of indiv- iduals and was threaten- ed with an organized boycott if he doesn't stop selling this material. Rev. Hilsden told the Star he knows nothing about any individuals or group that may have threatened stores with boycotts over the kind of magazines they sell from their shelves. "I just think this kind of literature has a demoralizing effect on people", he said, adding that he believes it should not be allowed for sale anywhere in the country. He described the magazine as "suggest- ing a pre and extra- marital life-style, group sex and homosexuality, all of which is related to what I consider porno material". He said this is contrary to the Bible and Christian beliefs and ethics. Rev. Hilsden said he has no intention of launching any kind of all-out campaign against stores that con- tinue to sell these types of magazines, but indic- ° ated he may continue to discuss the issue with store owners and man- agers. Vol. 118 No. 26 Tuesday, May 29, 1984 36 pages A lawyer representing ratepayers in the Chalk Lake area says her clients do not want to totally ban new develop- ment in that area, but they do want the pro- posed Ridgeland hous- ing-golf course project scaled down. Kathryn Robinson made the comments last Wednesday as an exhaustive 11-day Ont- ario Municipal Board hearing into the Ridge- land proposal came to a close. "I have made it very clear from the outset (of the hearing) that my clients do not want a total 'han on develop ment. Some estate resi- dential development may be appropriate, but the degree of intensity (of Ridgeland) is too great,' Ms. Robinson said. She is representing a group of about 60 pro- perty owners who have asked the OMB for a ruling on the proposed 76 lot estate residential development which in- cludes a nine hold golf 'course on 230 acre of the north side of the Chalk Lake Road, about two miles east of Durham Road 23. Ms. Robinson argued at length that the deve- lopment is too large, the | OMB reserves decision LH on Ridgeland project proposed lot sizes (1.2 to 3.4 acres) are too small and such an intense use of the land is not consistent with the surrounding area which she described as "rural (Turn to page 8) School kids kept in . during partial eclipse Many elementary students in Scugog Township will be kept inside their schools to protect them from a partial solar eclipse of the sun over the noon hour this Wednesday May 30. The National Re- search Council of Canada has issued a stern warning that the partial eclipse from 11:30 A.M. to 2:15 P.M. may be the most dang- erous for anyone who attempts to view it because of infra-red rays from the part of the sun not covered. Looking at the sun can cause eye damage and - blindness unless certain precautions are taken. Vice-principal lan Fun at the Fun F~'~ As always, the face painting was a popular place for the kids, and some of the designs were simply outrageous. But fun, too, at the R.H. Cornish Fun Fair Saturday. Proceeds from this event are used to assist in school activities. More photos inside. Cook at R.H. Cornish School said all students will be warned the morning of the eclipse, and those who usually bring their lunches to school will be kept indoors over the noon hour. For those students who go home for lunch that day, Mr. Cook said parents will have to stress the dangers of trying to look at the eclipse. The partial eclipse will reach its height at 12:47 P.M. Ordinary sunglasses are not sufficient shields for viewing the eclipse. A shielded telescope or several layers of expos- ed and developed film are suggested, but the safest way to watch the eclipse is on television. The directive to keep Durham elementary students in the schools over the noon hour on May 30 was issued by the director of educa- tion.
