22 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 8, 1988 JAMES TOWER My name is Jim Tower. I am 43 years old and have lived on Scugog Island with my wife, Nor- ma, and four children since 1974. Before moving into my own contracting business on a full time basis I was employed as the National Sales & Marketing Manager for a multi-national manufacturer of heating and air conditioning controls. During my years in this position I was a member of many commit- tees within the industry and serv- ed as chairman of the Canadian Hydronics Council for 2 years. I believe that some of the im- portant issues for the Township are expanding the recreation facilities, resolving the problem of an overburdened sewage treat- ment system in Port Perry and the condition of the lake. Specifically for Ward 3 I believe we need improvement in the con- dition of the roads, maintain the current status of not allowing residential development of the in- terior of the Island and assure the quality of the lake to be at least maintained and hopefully improved. If elected to represent Ward 3 I will ensure the concerns of the people of Scugog Island are brought to council. I respectfully ask for your vote at the polls on November 14. Candidates for WARD 3 It is my desire to maintain an open door policy, to hear the pro- blems and concerns of my consti- tuents, and stand up for the quali- ty of life that exists on the Island and Port Perry area. I've felt my natural progres- sion, from a strong active involve- ment in the community will bring understanding and experience to Council, to speak out on behalf of the people. Experience, such as, Past President of the Kinsmen Club, third year as a Director of the Chamber of Commerce, representative of the Lake Scugog Task Force, and numerous active community activities have allow- ed me to initiate and be involved in situations to improve and main- tain a high standard in Scugog. Concern over all issues affec- ting our community also stems from my life long residency in the area. I appreciate the support I have received and vow to support the community throughout my term.

Sympathy from the community is extended to Frank and Bonnie Branton and family in the passing of Frank's father last Saturday. Stained glass is a memorial by Mrs. Earl Reader We frequently like to remember our life long residents and recall their commitments and influence upon the community. At this time we are thinking of the late Yvonne (Milner) Ap- pleton whose life was cut short by an incurable affliction in June, 1987. She had been helpful in her community and Island United Church sharing her time and ability in music, speaking and leadership with her friendly, joival peersonality. Her courage was an example to all who knew her. It was therefore felt that a lasting memorial in the form of a stained glass window should be in- stalled in the Island United Church. Accordingly, all friends and relatives are invited to attend the special Dedication Service at the Island United Church, Sun., Nov. 20 at 2 p.m. There will also be thanks and recognition for the parcel of land donated by Maurice and Eliza Fralick for the purpose of a driveway and parking. Following the service refreshments will be served at the Community Hall. The "Head" U.C.W. and friends will serve at the Hospital Tuck Shop during the week of November 14. : The "Head" U.C.W. met at the home of Mrs. Marilyn Tripp last Wed. night with 9 ladies present. They have decided that the Mystery Sister Supper will be held at Conway Place on Nov. 23 at 6:30 p.m. There will be the usual exchange of gifts and disclosure of secret names. The "Grace" U.C.W. - Mystery Sister Supper will be held Dec. 7 at the "Island" Restaurant. At the Island United this Sun. there will be a guest speaker who is a missionary in Japan. The Island people wish to con- vey their condolence to the well known Harold Forder and his family in the sudden passing of his mother, Mrs. (Forder) Byers in Blackstock, Wed., Oct. 26.

Oil spilled Lake Scugog isn't exactly famil- iar turf for oil tankers, but regard- less, there was some kind of an oil or diesel fuel spill on the lake November 4. Durham Regional Police were called about the spill at 6 p.m. near Aldred's Beach. Police report the spill as a large one, measuring some 10 to 15 feet wide and a half mile long. The Ministry of the Environ- ment is investigating the incident but no details or comments could be obtained from Ministry offi- cials by the Star's deadline, on Monday. THE NEW DEMOCRATS environment. MARG WILBUR SS THIS TIME...a safe, clean environment Canadians want strong action so our children can have clean water and healthy air. Brian Mulroney promised to clean .ip the environment but he let us down, just like the Liberals did before him. The Liberals started to cut environmental programs; the Mulroney Conservatives cut them further. Now the Mulroney trade deal jeopardizes our control over natural resources -- and still there's no action on acid rain. Ordinary Canadians can count on Marg Wilbur and Ed Broadbent to fight for the NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY 433-0376 - 623-7701 - 985-8345 Rutherized by Roy Griersen - 0fficiel Agent sa i eh a a a a a a Li li a pa aff i eH ee a A RZ i t,o a, |
