TT I ig -- ip Ag Pp I 4 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, September 23, 1986 Council requests lights for 7A plaza Scugog Township council has ask- ed the PT inciny transportation ministry to consider the possibility of putting traffic lights in front of the Port Perry Plaza on Highway 7A. "Something has to be done about (the traffic problernas at the en- trance to the plaza) Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor said at Monday's coun- cil meeting. Other councillors nodd- ed their agreement that the situa- tion there is a dangerous one at the present time. There have been several traffic accidents at the entrance into the plaza over the past few years, and on busy weekends, merchants with stores in the plaza have hired off- duty police officers to help get vehicles in and out of the entrance safely. In a letter to council, Mr. Gruda of Harding Gate Development, owner of the plaza, states there is often a ' 'tremendous bottleneck (of traffic) in the plaza, completely in- terfering with the operation of the merchants." Mr. Gruda states in the letter that consideration was given to a second entrance into the plaza, but this was ruled out because it was felt that traffic signals to stop traffic on the highway would be the best solution. Any decision on whether lights are installed there is up to the provincial transportation ministry as Highway 7A there is a provincial road. L.L.B.O. CAESAREA PHONE 9868-86884 presents ...

Fingers and toes were cold but hearts were warmed by the vision Scugog Islander Dave Gardner presented of Baha'i communities, as well as other religious organizations, peace groups and just peace-minded in- dividuals all over the world as they held a variety of gatherings to com- memorate the 'Day of Peace!' We especially enjoyed imagining the festivities in countries with hot climates. Clapping our hands helped warm them and thanks to Juno Award nominee (most promising male) Doug Cameron, we were given plen- ty of opportunity to do just that as we kept beat to his songs and then showed our appreciation as each tune ended. Doug is 2 young Peterborough man who is now living in Toronto courageously pursuing a career in the all-too-rare area of youth- oriented music that appeals to a higher spiritual and moral value. Doug is best known for his hit record and video 'Mona with the Children' which we had the pleasure of hear- ing again on Tuesday evening along with other numbers from both of his ~ albums. While Doug took a break to pry his frozen fingers from the guitar An- drew Salkeld a local concerned citizen from Seagrave shared the latest information about the U.N.'s peace plans. Mr. Salkeld cannot just be called a local concerned citizen as he is indeed a citizen of the world by virtue of his work and travel in many countries. By his own admis- sion he "lost count after 40.' An- Stolen bread Twenty loaves of bread were stolen from the front of the Seagrave General Store on September 18th. According to Durham Regional Police, the bread was dropped off to the store in the early hours of the morning, when it was stolen. Police are still investigating. ATV STOLEN An all terrain vehicle was stolen from the lawn of a Lilla Street home sometime over the weekend. Durham Regional Police say the ATV was parked on the lawn with a for sale sign on it, when it was stolen. The vehicle is valued at approx- imately $2,500. telephone call to another world citizen to inform him of the Peace Picnic in Port Perry. Here is the mess: 'e this esteemed gentleman sent to our gathering. "I am very pleased to have the op- portunity to send you greetings from all of us at the permanent mission of Canada to the United Nations. How particularly appropriate it is that you would choose to spend the evening of the International Day of Peace at a picnic with family and friends. As Canadians we here at the U.N. take pride in being part of the family of the world. Perhaps if we spent more time at picnics and following the example of all of you plugs peace in Palmer Park drew had very thoughtfully made a- good citizens of Port Perry we would be able to make significant strides towards true peace among all citizens of the family of the world." Stephen Lewis, Canada's Ambassador to the United Nations. Following Doug's second set, hot chocolate, coffee, tea and sweets were served to the 60-70 peace- minded souls who had gathered. After an exchange of conversation and much laughter everyone head- ed for the warmth of their homes contentedly smiling with the knowledge, new to some, that peace is not only possible but inevitable.
