22 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, December 2, 1986 by Kenneth Brown It is hard to believe that another whole year of newsletters is at an end but this is my final edition. That means of course that I get to tell you all about our wonderful annual meeting. This was a really exciting evening. The evening took the form of a dessert and coffee or tea or milk evening. Each of you who attended brought along your family and enough of your favourite dessert to provide a plateful of samples. Those of you who are like me and think its wonderful to be able to try so many of the town's best cooks, best recipes, were there with your ap- petites. We lined up some terrific entertainment for the evening and it was worth coming for without all the goodies. Lori Gemmell, a very talented young woman, delighted us with her mastery of the harp. Those of you who had never had the oppor- tunity to see and hear an ac- complished harpist perform were glad they did not miss this real treat. We also had a small show of holi- day season material from those who were busy making wreaths and swags etc. to make a good display on the show table and to get a head start on accumulating some points for next years awards. This years awards were presented at this Although they were ranked second, Danny's Deakers pulled off a surprising upset and emerg- ed the winners in St. Leo's Intra-mural soccer action. Team members, whose names will be in- scribed on the trophy held by team captain Dan- Farewell...so long...adiev meeting, another reason to have come along to see who accumulated all the points in the various categories this past year. All who participated in the shows were win- ners of course and if you won any classes at all this could have been the. night you collected. Little envelopes of prize money were distributed to everyone who ac- cumulated any points. We watched for Doris Hoskins, her hands full of envelopes. Interspersed among all of the fun and festivities we slipped in the legal requirements of our association's annual meeting. The annual report was presented and the election of officers for next year was conducted. We could still use a cou- ple of more interested people to work on our board of directors, so if you have any thoughts of getting closer to all of the fun we have, please call Betty or Veronica and let them know if you might be interested. Another terrific feature of this meeting was our sales table. Shirley Morrow had loaded it up with all of the items that were needed to help decorate your home for the holidays. This was an opportunity to purchase all of these items at just slightly over the wholesale cost. It also helped Shirley to placate Margaret Davis our treasurer who keeps making funny sounds about all of the money we had spent on this 4 RSE | | Rd BR ed Here's a warm, cozy feeling ... § GREAT CARPET VALUES NS Cumin OK SA \ al CLL TTT LY A v -~ 1 NUL yy E a RESON tly ja Come to us for a free estimate . compare our total cost including underpad and installation, combined with our fast, courteous service .. we know you'll be back!

There are several more things that we can still do in our gardens before the snow arrives. It is time to hill up our roses for winter pro- tection, cover the strawberries and harvest the leeks and brussel sprouts from the veggie garden. Ploughing up the vegetable and flower beds now will allow the frost to work on the lumps and make them soft and crumbly for the spring. Fall digging of these beds also removes one chore from our busy spring schedule. When all is finally dug and put to bed for the winter and the leaves are quietly composting in the corner it's time to turn our thoughts ahead to next year when we all promise ourselves, to finally do it all the way we know it really should be done. My first seed catalogue came in this morning's mail. I can already see those wonderful new varieties growing in my garden.

Brooklin was well represented at Sunday's Grey Cup game by the Precoors of Queen Street. You see, Gail Precoor was the grand prize winner in the Sarasoda Grey Cup Sweepstakes spon- sored by the IGA foodstore chain. Peter Plastina, the owner of both Brooklin and Whitby IGA stores presented Gail with her prize ... a trip for two to Vancouver, including a week's accommodations at the Westin Bayshore Inn, Air Canada flight, prime Grey Cup tickets and spending money. The vacation was appreciated by Gail who told tie Profile "I've never been anywhere before." Viewpoint From page 19 fighters into action with their war with Iraq. A little post-script ... When the Shah fell in 1979, Iran had near- ly 80 F-14s, but until recently the potent warplane had never been used in its primary role as an air defence fighter. The reason, sources said, was that Iran lack- ed guidance equipment on board the F-14s to control their Phoenix missiles. Just last month, however, an Iranian F-14 used a Phoenix to shoot down an Iraqi Mirage fighter. Now is it all starting to make sense"? Although they can't prove it yet (and officials involved in the operation have obviously denied it) some U.S. military leaders believe that those parts needed for the F-14s may have reached Iran through the same network Think Snow!

Now what was their first clue? - Acutally, how the U.S. sup- plies got to their destination re- mains something of a mystery; certainly no U.S. Air Force planes to Teheran. According to early reports, materials drawn from stockpiles overseas reach- ed Iran in ships or planes dispat- ched from Israel. Shipments originating from the U.S. were carried on aircraft chartered by the CIA. So who pulled the strings? Everyone from the president to Secretary of State George Schultz to the lowest man on the administrative totem pole has claimed they did not know what was going on. But the fact re- mains that it did happen, and by gosh something has to order it and see it was carried through. Whoever it was, one thing for sure, Reagan has lost all credibility. Not only with his military staff, and his "royal subjects," but with the entire world population. It appears the only ones who are not condem- ning him are the Russians. Now that in itself is another mystery. There are no assurances that any heads will roll right now -- if ever. The president hates to fire people, even when they deserve it, going by past ex- perience. But the pounding he continues to take in the opinion polls make it clear that, on the issue of arms for Iran, the American people did not agree with Reagan -- and didn't believe him. The Iranian fiasco has damaged one of the presi- dent's most important assets, his credibility, and threatened his capacity to lead effectively in the remaining two years of his term. Do we hear the echoings of "impeachment ... impeach- ment" ringing throughout the land once more? "ri eae
