In attempting to compile a history of the newspa- pers which published in Prince Albert and Port Perry from 1857 to the present there are still a few de- tails that have eluded us. From 1866 to sometime before 1900 a Mr. Ed- ward Mundy published the Port Perry Standard, and as many copies of the old newspapers are missing, we have been unable to find out when he sold the paper. Also, we are trying to locate photographs or sketches of the following local men,each of whom, at one time, published the Port Perry Standard. 1. Edward Mundy 2. W.H. Cline 3. S. M. Newton 1 Anyone having any information or photos of the above men are asked to contact Peter Hvidsten at the Port Perry Star - Phone 985-7383. Your assistance will be much appreciated! Random Jottings (From page 6) putting the finishing touches on their new building and = should be fully operational by Spring. Blanchard's along with the Taylor Insurance building and Triport Properties building have given North Street a new look. The other commercial project that is now underway, and which will have the most dramatic impact on Port Perry, is the new Conway Project which was given approval in princi- pal by Scugog Council last week. Developers of this site have already started working on a water break-wall around the property and it should be finished in the next few weeks. Housing projects continue to come on stream and work has been underway all winter on Victorian Village in the heart of Port Perry. This large project will put about 75 more homes onto the market this summer. In addition to Victorian Village, there are homes under- way in the Castle Harbour subdivision, the Brook's subdivi- sion has been given the green light and the Honey's Farm subdivision is now in the preliminary planning stages. There are undoubtedly many more smaller projects either under- way or in the planning stages, but all of this indicates that 1988 is going to be a banner year once again for Scugog Township.

Viewp int (From page 5) lines need to be drawn to put more of the sport back into Like most Canadians, | watched a good part of the Cal- oiNnt gary Games on TV, and | must admit | felt a lump in my throat when Elizabeth Manley skated and came within an inch of the coveted gold.

Maybe I'm just a dreamer, an old fashioned traditionalist who prefers things in their purest form, who enjoys the thrill of competiton not for what it means ina bank book, or the bottom line of some accountant's ledger, but rather for the sheer pleasure of doing one's best. For me, the Games, like just about everything else, are rapidly becoming a symbol for the commercialized, throw- away, plastic pop-can world we live in. | just hate to see the Olympic ideal worshipping at the alter of the all-mighty dollar. pics.

My point is this: over 99 percent of all amateur hockey players play the game for fun and recrea- tion! It is not a means of earning a living; it is a game! I feel we should do whatever is necessary to keep it as much fun as possible and let those few who decide to make hockey a career, learn the hitting skills from professional coaches. My main concerns are: 1. keep the game fun for all players; 2. eliminate the fear factor and in- timidation tactics; 3. protect the smaller players; 4. allow for greater skills development by taking the emphasis off hitting.
