A cordial invitation _ has been extended to all residents of Scugog to attend the official open- ing and dedication of the new wing at Community Memorial Hospital on Friday, June 15. "We are hoping that a lot of people will attend the opening and take the opportunity to see what this new addition means to the hospital," said building committee chairman Howard Hall last week. Constructed over the past year at a cost of $705,000, the new wing will add about 10,000 square feet of space to the hospital. This is the first addition to the Firemen come to aid of youth The Scugog Fire department had to be called out Sunday after- noon to rescue a 13 year old Port Perry youth who was stuck in waist deep mud in a swampy area near the boat launching ramp. According to a fire department spokesman, the young boy apparent- ly had been using a small raft in the swamp to hunt for turtles when it developed a leak and went down. He tried to walk to solid ground but quickly sank to his waist and was unable to move. Firefighters Vic Walker and Roy Teer, with safety ropes around their waists, slowly made their way into the swamp, but the mud prevented them from getting right to the youngster. They tossed him a length of rope which he secured around his waist and other firemen on solid ground were able to pull the boy to safety. Walker and Teer also had -difficulty getting out of the swamp and had to be pulled out by (Turn to page 3) After a 20 mile paddle, these two canoeists could still manage to smile as they neared the finish line in the Canoe the Non- quon event. We're not sure if they are smil- building since it was constructed back in 1969. It will mean enlarged facilities for the physio- therapy department, the emergency-trauma unit, recovery room, day surgery, labora- tory, medical records, general storage, phar- macy, staff education, library, conference room and facilities for medical staff. The new addition was paid for through a grant from the provincial Health Ministry of $200,000; a grant from Scugog Township of $160,000; and the re- mainder by contribu- tions from businesses, groups and individuals in Scugog Township and outside the borders of the community. The new addition will be called the Dr. Matt- hew B. Dymond Wing, in honour of the former MPP and Health Min- ister. Dr. Dymond will be among the dignitar- ies attending the open- ing ceremonies. Also taking part in the official opening will be Hospital addition set or official opening Ontario Health Minister Keith Norton, Durham- York MPP Ross Steven- son, Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor, Joy Hull, chairman of the Port Perry Hospital Board, and Rod Foster who will serve as master of ceremonies.

She wouldn't even look at the thing. Can you blame her? The clinic will be held this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Prince Albert Community Hail.

The session (elders) in Port Perry met Sunday to pass the resolution, adding the Church should take no action on this issue until Finally, after several years of poor weather, Mother Nature smiled on Canoe the Nonquon held last Saturday in brilliant sunshine and near perfect paddling conditions on Lake Scugog. A field of 123 canoes (about the same number as last year) hit the waters of the Non- quon River for the start of the demanding 20 mile course which end- ed at the Port Perry waterfront. The near perfect weather conditions obviously worked to the canoeists advantage as six new records were set in 1984 in various class- es of competition. In the Mens open class, Phil Johnson of Port Perry and Paul Burns of Lindsay shav- ed six minutes off the previous record as they an accurate feeling of all United Church members across Canada can be meas- ured. This local resolution is similar to one endorsed early in May by the Bay of Quinte Conference of paddled home in a time of 2 hours, 40 minutes and 31 seconds. The old record in this class has been around since 1979. And in the same class, - the second place finish- ers this year also broke the old 1979 record. Bill Haynes of Port Perry and Elwood Stewart of Oshawa came in with a time of 2:42:32, just two minutes behind Johnson and Burns, but four minutes better than the old record. In the Mens Resident class, the father-son team of Rudi ana Clint Jammer added another first to their impressive list of firsts in this event as they crossed the finish line in 3:02:27. That broke the old record set in 1979 by just over a minute. For Rudi and Clint it was the fourth straight year they have had the ty issue the United Church which calls for opposi- tion to the task force report on homosexuality and ordination, but also calls for more study and debate on this issue.

They received the Chamber of Commerce trophy for their efforts. Close behind in second place with a time of 3:05:10 was the team of Rob Page and Steve DeHaas. In the Womens open class, Judy Brinkman of Port Perry and Gina Lyczba (Brinkman) who now lives in Oshawa, trimmed a full 20 minutes off the record set last year. They hit the line in 3:15:55.
