18 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, July 23, 1985 Sexy men not always hairy The sexiest men in town are not necessarily the hairiest, the Star has learned Jim Grieve, voted the Sexiest Man in Scugog by the Kidney Foundation Saturday night, doesn't have a hair on his chinny-chin-chin. And Chuck Dewhirst, who came second in the contest, was awarded the Duffer Prize in Friday night's Beard Growing Contest. The reverse is also true. Garth Kuyt was judg- ed to have the Best Groomed Beard and yet he raised a great big fat zip in the Sexy Man Con- test (actually he had raiségd quite a few bucks until some low life stole his fundraising box). All this nonsense started back in April when the Chamber of Commerce announced the Beard Growing Con- test, to be judged during Festival Days. The contestants, in- cluding Dennis Hender- son, Larry Huntington, Earl Cuddie, Emiel Kroonenberg, Chuck Dewhirst, Mike Foyler, Peter Hvidsten, Hgin Knopp, Ron Allen, David Brown, Ted Hall, Ed Wilson, Doug Olhffe, Garth Kuyt and Ray Penny, were shaved clean as a whisker, er whistle, by barber Mike Guido on April 11th at 9 p.m. Or thereabouts. Some faces were harder to shave than others. Just ask Doug Olliffe, who suffered more than one nick at the hands of the knife. After the shave-off, some contestants cons- cientously shampooed, conditioned, blow dried and trimmed their burgeoning beards every day, while others just let the things grow wild. Garth's regular trips to the barber assured his prize for Best Groomed, although it was a toss-up for awhile between Emiel Kroonenberg, who, rumour has it, threatened to fire Garth (his employee at Emiel's Place) unless the prize was his. The judges (including Vic and Milhe Ives, Debra Jones and Bob Stoolitt) had no problem choosing Dennis Hender- son to be the recipient of the Bushiest Beard prize, or Ed Wilson as the win- ner of the Longest Beard contest. If those two gentlemen could figure out a way to grown that kind of hair on balding HEADS, they'd be millionaires. And Ray Penny, being the soft touch he is, han- dily won the Softest Beard category. Peter Hvidsten, who, by the way, instigated the whole thing, tried all manner of grovelling techniques to win a prize, but even crawling on the ground at the judges' feet didn't help. Neither did Elgin Knopp's attempt to sweep Debra Jones off her feet, or Doug Olliffe's whisker rub with Millie Ives. Let's, er, face it. When it comes to Beard Grow- ing Contests, the proof is right hair. Judges Millie Ives and Debra Jones give one of the contestants in the Chamber's Beard Growing Contest a good going over. They were helped out by fellow judges Vic Ives and Bert Stoolitt. - DO-NO's BUSINESS RECONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION TIME FOR A COMPLETE OVERHAUL 8 RENOVATIONS . EVERYTHING MUST BE SOLD! 50...

Sweetman's Scugog Island News by Mrs. Earl Reader We hear the Festival Days of Port Perry were exceptionally well at- tended and enjoyed with an attraction for all ages, including the weather. We were proud to have some of the honours come to our Island when we heard that John Sweetman sets a pattern for the sexiest senior citizen. We don't know just what the qualities are but he must have them It's easy to see that the festive and hohday season has spread into the church by the decreased Island atten- dance tho' we also gain- ed by having guests from Arizona and Waterloo. The choir is very loyal in attendance and on Sun. Joan Aldred and Florence Fralick favoured us with a special vocal duet: The lovely floral ar- rangements were in memory of the late George Davidson of Port Perry At this time we express deepest sym- pathy to Karen and keg Dawvis in the sudden pass- ing of Kar. 1's father The several children who attend get special Patrick G.

Tho' we got more rain than we needed in the Spring, we hear many people are now having problems with their wells. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Middleton on Scugog Rd. 5 thought they were all set for awhile after pur- chasing a tank of water but in a short time were surprised to find it had rapidly disappeared. Upon investigation with no apparent reason for the situation, and while Mrs. Middleton was scouting around, she fell and broke her right wrist which required hours for attention because of ex- treme medical activity on the weekend. Even- tually a leak was discovered where the thirsty land was absorb- ing water. But, of course, another tank of water was then necessary too. Mr. and Mrs. Steer on Con. 6E have nicely returned from a very delightful trip up thro' the Alaska area. Mrs. Marion Carter returned from a trip to the Edmonton area to help her daughter, Anne and little family, move into a new home. Nelson Reader has returned with a friend from a very enjoyable trip through parts of British Columbia, Alber- ta and the border of Saskatchewan.
