But before you can go you've got to find a washroom, and that can be a real problem along Port Perry's lakefront. Every summer people from throughout the area and beyond flock to the beach to swim, play in the park, catch a ball game or do a little fishing. It's a great place to spend the afternoon - as long as you don't have to go to the bathroom. If you do, and most people do at some point, Sons of Beaches play ball Page 18 Inside the Star RE Star plays switcheroo with CITY Page 8 then you could find yourself in a dilemma if you're not familiar with Port Perry. There are washrooms along the lakeshore but many people complain there aren't enough, that they're hard to find and not well-marked, and the ones that are there aren't cared for. Local restaurant owners bear most of the brunt of the problem by unwittingly supplying "public washrooms" to non-patrons who can't find or can't be bothered to find legitimate public facilities.

In a joint announce- ment from Health Min- - ister Keith Norton and Ross Stevenson, MPP Durham-York last week, both Community Memorial Hospital, Port Perry and Cottage Hospital, Uxbridge have been given approval to build heliports. Port Perry hospital administrator, David Brown, told the Star the pad would be built at the south end of the hospital adjacent to the front parking lot. The heliport pad will be approxim- ately 82 feet square and 'covered with ashpalt. The pad will be surrounded by eight perimeter lights which will be pointed skyward, two floodlights and will have a wind-sock to show the direction of the wind. In addition to the pad, there will be an ashpalt walkway from the exit doors on the south wing to the heliport to take patients to the waiting helicopter. Following completion of the tendering pro- Cess, which Mr. Brown expects to have finished in a coupe of weeks, contracts will be award- ed, with the -ministry providing the capital "funding for both heli- ports Mr. Stevenson said, I am pleased that both Port Perry and Ux- bridge will have access to air ambulance ser- vice around the clock to transfer critically ill or injured patients to major medical centres. This will greatly enhance health care in these.communities". The heliports will be used by the ministry's air ambulance Bandage 1 stationed at Button- ville. Bandage 1 has been available to these communities only dur- ing daylight hours and have had to land on the parking lot in the past. At present, there are 37 heliports licensed for 24-hour service serving over 50 hospitals in Ontario. An additional eight, including Port Perry and Uxbridge, are going to tender shortly. Vol. 118 No. 34 Tuesday, July 24, 1984 Darce Campbell, realtor, calmly accepted his uncontested Northumberland last Wednesday night. Durham Northumberland Liberals The horse race has begun. Last Wednesday night in the Port Hope High School auditorium, the Durham Northumber- land Liberal Association chose a candidate to face-off in the upcoming federal election. Darce Campbell, a 53 year old real estate broker from Port Hope, was uncontested in his bid for the candidacy. The uncontested nomination came as a surprise to many Liberals in this riding, who expected Ed Schamerhorn of Bowmanville to give Mr. Campbell a run for his money. But Mr. Schamerhorn never filed the necessary papers and on Monday morning announced he wouldn't be running, citing other personal commitments. "I think we have an ex- cellent candidate in Darce," said Francine Newton, president of the Liberal association. '"He's a man you'll be able to put your faith and trust in." Mr. Campbell has already specified he'll be running on a platform based on promises for job creation and fiscal responsibility. With 33 years of busines and banking experience, he's aiming his campaign in Prime Minister and Liberal Leader John Turner's direction, with emphasis on the business community and jobs for everyone, "It is more crucial now than ever before, in view of our delicate economy, a53yearold Port Hope nomination as Liberal candidate for Durham Choose Campbell to carry torch to have sound financial management,' he said. "We must be accoun- table to the unemployed." He says he plans to reinforce Turner's stand on women in the work force, stressing equal pay for work of equal value. And although he didn't list a specific plan of attack, he told the 200 (Turn to page 3)
