The Highway 7A (Scugog St.) through Port Perry has been a dirty disgrace this. Spring with the winter sand on the sidewalks and blowing around from vehicle traffic. Yes and the snow not cleared pro- perly all winter. We the residents do hope this shall be better planned for 1985-86 season. Also culverts cleaned out ear- ly Fall and Spring, No Parking on sidewalks and grassed areas in Port Perry area. The Scugog Beautification Committee wish to thank the Departmen' of Highways for a job well done, after the reconstruction of Highway 7A 'Thank You." May the road at . the top or foot of the Scugog Island be widen- ed and graded, leading to the public boat launching ramp, more often each season 3 The present parks crew certainly are doing a fae pb this vear Many taxpayers believe we should have a person in charge of all Scugog Parks looking after gar- bage containers, grass cutting, flower beds This would reheve our Road Superintendent for more pressing duties About mnety five percent of residents feel the Road Ban the bikes Dear Sir: On Western Weekend last year as every year, the streets are closed off tocars [think the same should apply to bikes from riding all over the streets, for people to dodge For instance. | was watching the street dance in front of the Post Office, and some boys were riding all through the people dancing This could ca ise injuries to the dancers and also to children. This happened a couple of years ago. an adult was injured It 1s not going to hurt people to walk around, not even bike riders So everyone can enjoy this special event A Concerned Senior Citizen, E Irvine, Port Perry Superintendent should be elected just the same as the Mayor and all Coun- cillors on a three year term Most parking lots are a dirty mess from garbage blowing around, boat launching area parking lots bounded by Water St or (waterfront) Scugog St (No 7A Hwy 1, Perry St | North St As I'see 1t only about thirty three per cent of businessmen sweep or clean around their own area A few years back you would see all the older businessmen doing their own thing each A M | for one They are nearly all gone now. All lanes from Queen St. should be just One Way into parking area. There should be a "Yield Right of Way' at Queen St., Water St. south west corner. It is -very difficult for people crossing to and from the park, Latcham Centre or the Bank when walking If signs are torn down, put them right back up again, the same with toilets or flowers No U-Turns at Queen St and Water St. Something should be done about the open tdunes) ditches at the Arena parking lots Who 1s responsible for the garbage containers on the streets, Township, Businessmen or both. The Scugog Beautifica- tion Committee had plans BUT??? The present flower barrels are being used as garbage containers or as, you name it??? again this season. Why not a Doggie Path along the old railroad near the new boat laun- ching site, would be much cleaner than using our streets I have yet to see any person stoop and scoop, 1n all my travels Will Union Avenue ever be free from pol holes, small vehicles may drop into them and larger vehicles would run right over top of them The finishing line for Canoe the Nonquon was again this year a filthy mess. Another filthy mess 1s under all bleachers in Port Perry softball area. These areas have not been (raked) cleaned since 299 The cement wall at the waters edge, with the chain on top, still needs much earth fill. When do- ing so please to not injure the Muskrat who lives there. Via Rail are replacing thousands of rail ties, they could be used to make the east side of Water St. larger for angle parking, across from the old Creamery. 'Mary St and Casimir St © more parking 1s needed here Water St really needs reconstructicr., in all fairness to our businessmen in this area from Scugog St. to North St. Also the road from Crandell St. to Lilla St. south side of Queen St. needs upgraded, sure is a mess in front of Town Hall 1873 and Masonic Temple Hall, and all grassed area near sidewalks. Many residents feel the new Port Perry Marina should not be constructed at the old site, either Cooks Bay or at the south end near Highway 7A at the causeway. It would help clean up the causeway area. Please remember the powers that be in Durham Region. When a new business comes to the Region, (Scugog ears of Scugog Township Township) good things come with it. It provides new jobs. It provides additional tax revenue for all local municipalities, revenue that is used to build roads, run schools, pro- vide services such as transit, police and fire protection. In addition, the new business may mean a new market f a business already there. For all these reasons then, an important role for municipal govern- ment is to encourage new business. to set up shop here. Like I have written at the first of this letter. I should not win many, if any popularity contests. Help keep Scugog Township beautiful, join either or both Pine Ridge Garden Club or Scugog Beautification Commit- tee. I still think the Geraniums should be Scugog Township official flower" Gardening can be done almost anywhere and in almost any area or pots. If it is a flower garden you want, plant tender flowers such as petunias. gladioli, asters, geraniums, they are easy to plant, sweet peas require a little more work but the results are sure worth it. Thank You, Roy Walker Smith. ] P.S. I saw on a grave marker in a cemetery: Remember you only come by this way one time? (Think about it). Port Perry Star ADVERTISING DEADLINES ALL ADVERTISING: MONDAY 12 NOON TT TT -- a el Ladies, Ladies, Ladies. I'm really disappointed in you. What has happened to our community spirit. I mean, are these the only nominees we're going to have' No real competition at all. There are only 40 so far, out of how many good- looking men? Get real, let's be serious about this. We have to hold our heads up and pro- ve to our guys that Qe are with them all the way on this. Look around you, look in the stores, look on the streets, look in your own homes for that matter, there may be a really attractive man behind that mor- ning paper, under that tractor, in the den- tist's chair with mouth wide open. You might even bump into him while in the Star office. The latter could be a long shot, but you never know about these things, do you" We've only got 2'short weeks left on this. Don't believe your man when he tells you he's too shy for this. He really does want you to GO FOR IT to boost his flim- sy ego. Try it, you'll see. Trust me. Now Sexy Business man category hasn't been doing badly I'll grant you, but really there has to be a few more out there. Are you going to sit back and let that young upstart Rick Larocque win by a mile? I can't believe Daphne Mitchell hasn't nominated her good-looking hubby yet. Shame on you. Come on, give your guy at least a crack at it. Are you just going to sit back and let Wayne Luke beat him without even giving him a run for his money? NO WAY, [| SAY. In his own category, Donnie Silver- man is going to win by a landslide. No pro- blem I'll just sit back and rest on my typewriter, | mean, there's only 2 other guys nominated. That's O K [| can han- dle it I guess there couldn't be too many working men out there KH" What can | say" If you girls want to sit back on your fannies and let my little guy win. that's by Bev Silverman WHERE'S THE BEEF? alright with me. I don't care. What's Port Perry coming to when there are only 5 Sexy Bachelors out there. Oh well, I guess you girls will have to go elsewhere to find your future mates. There sure doesn't seem to be very many to choose from around here. What ever happened to those proud Mothers and Grandmothers, who are always bragging about their handsome offspring. Ho Hum Boring. Put up or shut up. Prove it to us, start nominating these handsome devils. Only 2 Sexy Seniors. Everybody must be walking around with blindfolds on. I really feel sorry for you poor fellas. You make it to 65 or more, and what do you get for your troubles, a wife that doesn't think you're sexy anymore. Pretty bad scene, I'd say. Pay them no never mind, nominate yourselves, who's going to know? I'll never tell. Boy, we are really in a mess now. | think I'll pack up and leave. I could have sworn we had more than 4 Politicians tak- ing care of Scugog Township. POOR US. Jack Baby, you've got it made in the shade. Civil Servant Category, now we've really had our goose cooked. Only one Cop on the beat and that's Wolfy. No way, can't have that. Come on Tammy, do your thing, nominate Jim Harmer. Show them all up. Keep in mind Tammy, be kind, and remember, bald is beautiful. By the way, what happened to all our Postal Workers" Are they that bad? Maybe we should let well enough alone. Out of all the categories, Profes- sionals are a real disappointment. Don't get me wrong, Paul Arculus is one of the nicest guys around and I'm the first to ad- mit it, but I'm sure he wants a little more competition than just himself. What's wrong with our Doctors and Lawyers? Do your wives want to hog you all to themselves" What's wrong with jol- ly Millar" He's not so bad How about Dr TELLING IT LIKE IT IS Krempy, he's the tall lanky silent type. Sort of like John Wayne. The Docs must not be in the good graces of their nurses and secretaries when they can't even get an honourable mention. Where are all our Sexy Kinsmen, Oddfellows, Masons, and Lions. I guess that's what happens when yoa don't let the "adies join in your clubs. HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN. Too bad, I bet there's a whole bunch of Sexy Service Club members out there, too. Last but not least, we come to our Sexy Farmer Category. At the time of writing, there has only been one nominated, and he is good ole Harvey Graham. Congratulations, Harvey, you broke the ice. I read somewhere, that [ am of a dif- - ferent generation. It has even been sug- gested that I wouldn't know a Sexy Farmer if I fell over the manure pile. 1 have been told that the real beef is somewhere out there in the fields, slugg- ing bales of hay, muscles bulging from head to toe. You are right. This I have never seen. I must have led a sheltered life, poor me. The only thing 1 can say to this is "Jennifer Malcolm, Wife of a farmer, cast your ballot and vote for this real life hunk of a man and show us all what real men are made of." This I would really like to see. I'll be watching, Jennifer. Remember when all is said and done, the reason for all this tom foolery, is to raise money for the Kidney Foundation.
