Cheryl Dayes (left) and Kristy Armour are wearing the colour- ful Caribbean-style dresses that will add to the Festival Days at- mosphere July 11-13 in Port Perry. The theme of this year's Festival Days is Caribbean and many staff of local businesses will be getting into the swing of things with colourful outfits. Many businesses are also planning to dress up their store fronts to match the theme. And there are plenty of events and activities that will bring the Caribbean to Port Perry. See story for details on this year's Festival Days. Cheryl and Kristy are employees at Port Perry IGA. (® Vol. 120 No. 31 Wednesday, July 2, 1986 Copy 35° 40 Pages Town declared "honourary Island" for Festival Days Do you like the sounds of a steel band, the excitement of the limbo and the tantalizing taste of exotic food and drink from the Caribbean? Sure you do. Try Port Perry in . mid-July. The annual Festival Days can't whisk you away to a sun-drenched islands in the West Indies, but the Caribbean theme of this year's events is the next best thing. For three days, starting July 11, Port Perry will take on a distinctive ly Caribbean atmosphere with col- ourful costumes, stores decorated to fit with the Islands theme, exotic food and long, cool drinks available at many restaurants, a steel band, limbo dancers, fire eaters, and Mardi-Gras style Junkanoo dancers. And organizers for the Scugog Chamber of- Commerce sponsored Festival Days this summer have even managed to have the govern- ment of the Bahamas declare Port Perry an '"'honourary island" of that country. Medical Chief of Staff warns of hard feelings The Chief of Staff at Community Memorial Hospital has warned that the fall-out from Bill 94 may linger quite some time. But Dr. Mike Krempowich added that he's hopeful any difficulties that might arise between physicians and the hospital administration "can be resolved amicably." Dr. Krempowich made the com- ments as he addressed a crowded annual meeting of the Hospital Board held June 24. Already, there have been some resignations by physicians from hospital committees and Dr. Krem- Durham Regional Police are questioning several suspects in con- nection with two day-time burglaries in Scugog Township last week. A Police spokesman said Monday that a home on Concession 14 north of Port Perry was hit June 25 about noon when the owners were away for a short period of time. A hunting rifle, jewellery and cash of about $2,600 wag reported missing. Later that same day, a second home on Concession 3 was also robbed of an un-disclosed amount in cash and powich said the hospital 'should be concered that doctors withdraw from committees over the next year." Noting that seven out of ten Port Perry physicians have closed their offices in support of the Ontario Medical Association opposition to Bill 94 and that the emergency department at the hospital has also been affected, Pr. Krempowich said the whole issue has left heru feelings. He said that while physicians in Ontario feel their personal and economic freedoms are at stake, Police question theft suspects jewellery. In both instances, neighbours reported seeing a van parked in the driveways about the time the rob- beries were taking place. Over the weekend, Newcastle OPP arrested several suspects on Highway 401 in a van that had been reported stolen in Toronto. A Durham spokesman said the van matches the description of the one that was seen in Scugog Township last week. Charges may be laid pen- ding the outcome of the police in- vestigation, said the spokesman. 'the public may have more to lose than the physicians." "Bill 94 will cause government to intervene in the relationship with patients. Physicians working for the government is not a good thing,' he stated. While making these comments, Dr. Krempowich ended his remarks by stating that "hopefully, things will get back to normal and the hospital will continue to function as it has in the past." The bitterness and anger that physicians feel about Bill 94 (pass- ed in the Legislature June 20) came to the surface again later in the an- nual meeting at the hospital. Dr. Bill Cohoon and Dr. John Stewart argued that certain by-laws pertaining to the medical staff should be delayed, rather than pass- ed at the meeting. Some of the by-laws relating to medical staff may not be acceptable in the wake of Bill 94, said Dr. Cohoon. Despite protests from the doctors, the meeting endorsed the by-laws, but they will be subject to review by physicians between now and the end of October. The by-laws were described by administrator David Brown as routine, prototype by-laws that had been worked out by the Ontario Hospital Association and the OMA He said the by-laws had been posted in the doctors lounge at the (Turn to page 2) Festival Days, of course, is the successor to the old Western Weekend, but organizers felt last year it was time to drop the western thente and come up with something different. This year, it's Caribbean all the way. Actually, the festivities will start about a week ear July 3, to be exact. On that eve ' bar-tenders working in the community will take part in an exotic drink-mixing challenge at Emiel's on Queen Street. The mixed drinks must have an island flavour to them, and they must be original creations. A panel of experts will judge the best, bas- ed not only on taste, but on presen- - tation and how much "flair" the 'bar-tenders can display as they prepare their special drinks. - .The recipes will be printed and the drinks served during Festival Days the following week. Probably the high-light of the Festival Days weekend will be Saturday, July 12 as Jerry Jerome brings his seven piece steel drum band to a dance in the giant tent that will be set up in Palmer Park. Exotic drinks will be available, and throughout the evening, limbo dancers will entertain and challenge anyone to give it a try. Junkanoo dancers will also entertain that' evening in the big tent, and there will be a fashion show featuring costumes and fashions from the Bahamas. On Thursday evening, July 10, Wintario comes to town for a live draw at Port Perry High School. Tickets are $5 per person and that includes one free Wintario ticket for the draw that evening.
