McLean to seek Tory nomination There is a battle shaping up for the Conservative nomination in the federal riding of Durham as Larry McLean announced Monday that he will be a candidate. Mr. McLean is a lifelong resi- dent of the Oshawa area and an al- derman in that city representing Wards 8 and 10. LARRY McLEAN Former provincial MPP Ross Stevenson of Udora has already announced that he will be a candi- date at the nomination meeting slated for September 12 at Sikor- ski Hall in Oshawa. In making his announcement Monday morning, Mr. McLean stated "many friends and support- ers were instrumental in encourag- ing me to seck the nomination be- cause of my unique rural-urban background. As a young man, Mr. McLean worked for over 20 years on a iry farm in Columbu., and one a beef and prok farm in south-east Oshawa. "I learned early in life the day to day problems farming people face. Today I am concerned about the ever expanding encroachment lof the urban sprawl on our agri- cultural lands and the destruction of many of our apple orchids in Newcastle," he said. While a staff member with the City of Oshawa, Mr. McLean was instrumental in the development of a master plan for the Oshawa Airport and spear-headed a joint provincial/municipal project for developing a management system for municipal operations, the first of its kind anywhere in Canada or the United States. Mr. McLean is a consultant with the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission. He's a past director and treasurer of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce; a director of the Central Lake Onta- rio Conservation Authority, vice- chairman of the3 Oshawa Public Works Commission and a director with the Oshawa Federal Conser- vative Association. "After assessing this newly formed riding of Durham, I came to the conclusion that my back- ground in farming and urban poli- tics suited me well to seck this nomination. I strongly believe if nominated I will bring to the rid- ing a balanced frame of mind to address the problems and complex issues that face this fast growing area of Ontario," he stated. Durham takes in parts of Oshawa and Whitby north of Taunton Road, all of Newcastle, Scugog and Uxbridge. The Liberals have already se- lected Doug Moffatt to carry their banner in this riding in the next election. Prime Minister Brian Mulron- ey said on national TV over the weekend, he will wait until Sep- tember 17 "before announcing when and if the country will go to the polls this fall. Vol. 122 No. 40 Tuesday, August 30, 1988 Copy 50¢ 48 Pages Lisa wins photogenic title at international pageant Five year old Lisa McClure spent a few days in Florida and came home with more than just a tan. The pretty Prince Albert area girl was in Orlando August 17-20 competing in Sunburst's Interna- tional Beauty Pageant. She had won the All-Canada Beauty Pageant last summer in Toronto, making her eligible for the international contest. She competed in the pee-wee division, ages four to six. Despite some fairly tough com- petition from the other 27 girls in the category, Lisa managed to win the photogenic title (International Photogenic Sunburst Queen). She also placed 2nd runner-up in the main beauty pageant. In total, Lisa brought home two trophies, each more than three feet high, one 20" trophy, a 12" tele- vision set, and a bag of prizes, in- cluding a watch. Her mom, Julie McClure, was thrilled that Lisa did so well, con- sidering the calibre of other, more professional, competitors. "We were all quite surprised to find out that most of the girls had extensive training in modelling, compared to the Canada finals in Toronto," Mrs. McClure said. "This turned out to be a big disad- vantage for Lisa." Her biggest competition came from a Florida native named Brit- tany, who not only won every other category in the pee-wee divi- sion, but swept the overall point trophy as well--winning herself $6,000 in the process. Brittany's mother told Mrs. McClure that Lisa was the only child ever to beat Brittany in any category in her entire life--the youngster has been modelling since she was 18 months old. Lisa went to Florida with the help of many local sponsors, for which she and her mother are ex- temely grateful. As for the future, well, Mrs. McClure isn't sure what's going to happen. She's thinking of sign- ing Lisa up with an agency, but she hasn't made up her mind yet. In the meantime, Lisa faces a bigger and nearer challenge--after Labour Day, she'll be starting Grade One at Prince Albert Public School. Lisa McClure Is becoming a household name in this town! Recently, Lisa won an award for being photo- genic at an international beauty pageant. See story for detalis.
