i RAE BA 4 & | i § F 8 § L] 3) by Ed Canning This past weekend at the Hamilton Convention Center, Port Perry's Mark Kendall mounted a successful campaign for the position of eighth vice-president on the ex- ecutive of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Youth Association. Both the youth and the adult association held policy and ex- ecutive elections conventions in Hamilton on the weekend. There was a humility which per- vaded this convention that might not have been easily found at the pro- vincial Tory gatherings of the last forty years. For a year now the Par- ty has occupied a new role as the House opposition under leader Larry Grossman. The OPCA is heavily in debt and although Grossman announced Friday night that the debt has been recently reduced from $4 million to $3 million, it remains a burden the Party must work hard to lighten if the Progressive Conservatives are to be ready for the election expected within the next year. While there existed a loyal op- timism concerning the Party's elec- toral prospects on the part of most delegates, a sober recognition of the need for a genuine outreach for grassroots support was also evident. Things have been better for the On- tario Progressive Conservatives. One delegate at the convention who's enthusiasm came complete- ly without reservation was Mark Kendall, "Sam Cureatz is not losing one poll in my riding," asserted Mark. He has faith in leader Larry Grossman's capacity to turf the Liberals from power. Mark sug- gested that the P.C. leader is not on- ly representative of the regular man on fhe street but also the ethnic voter. Mark was particularly busy at Will Purple Martins return to Birdseye? Will the purple martins return to Birdseye Park? Bill Barr, a Seagrave resident who is something of an expert on purple martins, believes they will, and he has been given permission to place four "homes" for the migratory birds next spring in Bird- seye Park. Mr. Barr told council Monday afternoon tha several years ago, many purple martins spent the sum- mers in Birdseye Park, but the bird houses have long since disappeared from the area just north of the Township Library on Water Street. ~The bird houses Mr. Barr plans to put up in the park will have 18 "rooms" each, with a pair of purple martins usually occupying one room. = A great day in Prince Albert Next Sunday, September 28, will "be a glorious day at Prince Albert United Church. This fine old building, dedicated to the Glory of God on September 30, 1866, will be celebrating its 120th Anniversary. The day begins at 11:30 a.m., when morning worship will be a ser- vice for the entire family. The special guest preacher at this ser- vice is Rev. Dr. Rex R. Dolan, B.A, B.D , Ph.D., minister of Simcoe Street United Church, Oshawa. He said that once the birds leave this part of the country in fall to winter in the Amazon Valley of South America, the bird houses would be taken down until spring. Mr. Barr has been successful in attracting purple martins to houses he has placed on his own property just south of Seagrave. But he said just putting up bird houses is no sure guarantee the pur- ple martins will take up residence. It may tage several years to attract them, he told council. If the plan works and purple mar- tins are found next spring in Bird- seye Park, there will be more than one benefit to people who use the park in the summer months. The favourite food of the purple martin is the mosquito. At 7:00 in the evening, a quiet and worshipful service time will receive as our guests the Choirs of the Church of the Ascension in Port Perry, who will join the Junior and Senior Choirs of Prince Albert Church in some of the Church's fine evening music. All present and former members and friends of Prince Albert United Church are encouraged and invited to share in this celebration.

This responsibility in- cluded visiting all the "ccpitality suites at the convention and distributing S.A.D.D. buttons and signs. After making the decision in June to seek executive office in the OP- CYA, Mark spent the remainder of the summer travelling the province and gathering support for his cam- paign through personal contacts. At the convention 15 helpers made Marks face a familiar visage by generously distributing his posters throughout the convention buildings. The first thing visible as the elevator doors opened onto the eleventh floor of the Royal Con- naught Hotel this weekend was a wall made almost invisible by Mark's election posters. Huge signs recommending Kendall for 8th V.P. ushered the way to Mark's room and makeshift election headquarters. Inside the candidate appeared as busy as his workers. Over the course of a half hours interview the phone rang several times with callers requesting information, ad- vice, and more campaign supplies. One call came from Blue Star, the OPCYA newsletter. They needed an article from Mark quickly about S.A.D.D. Although the newsletter is supposed to be non-partisan, they had inadvertently published the day before a policy paper with Mark's only opponent's name on it. To avoid disqualification proceedings and still give equal coverage the editors of Blue Star agreed to publish and circulate before the elections Mark's S.A.D.D. article on the front page of the newsletter. Mark pro- mised to deliver copy soon as every _ bit of hype counts in a campaign. Throughout the interview Mark poured energy forth at an amazing pace. He had yet to give a speech to the youth delegates in the morning before the ballots were cast. Mark said he would concentrate in it on his concern with increased student in- volvement in politics, especially at the high school level. The S.A.D.D. issue would also be a focus. "If the PC youth grab a hold of SADD," Mark said, "perhaps we can strengthen even more of the drunk driving laws." The Progressive Conservatives equate the sale of beer and wine in the corner stores to increased drunk driving. If the standing ovation Larry Grossman received in response to his rejection of corner store beer and wine sales at the gala banquet on Saturday night is any sign, Mark is right on track with his party's line. The night before elections Mark remained fairly confident of victory. Results aside he values the ex- perience running a campaign has afforded him. "Win, lose or draw I have no regrets except maybe the money. I could have bought a stereo," explained Mark with a grin. Mark turned in early after the gala banquet as he had to be up at 7:00 a.m. to deliver a speech to the voting delegates and offer his last attempts at persuasion. After the speech was delivered the next mor- Looking for A Place to Advertise Your Business? LOOK HERE! Where consumers in need shop for the professionals in business!
