28 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 8, 1988 [rie ---------- TOM ADAMS I am 38 years old, married, with two children. I am a manager at ~ IBM Canada. I live in Brock Township, south of Beaverton. Before living in Brock, I lived in the Uxbridge area and before that lived in Oshawa. I believe that the Durham Separate School Board has focus- ed entirely on providing education facilities in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, and Pickering and is ignor- ing the needs of the rural com- munities. St. Joseph's School in Uxbridge has been crowded for years and is only now expecting to move to new facilities for September, 1989. Immaculate Conception, built in Port Perry two years ago, is already crowd- ed, with portables expected next year. Beaverton does not even ve a separate school. Until last June residents of parts of the town could not divert their taxes to the separate system. The board had to be pressured to correct this situation. Beaverton area children are currently bussed to Foley Separate School in Brechin. The Durham Region Separate School Board cannot expect the Simcoe County Separate School Board to continue to provide facilities for Durham students. I believe that a strong voice is needed on the board to speak up for the education requirements of the rural communities. Manchester UCW by Bernice Dobson The October meeting, was held Oct. 6th in Manchester Church with 10 members present. Mrs. Eileen Tapscott was in charge of the devotion & lunch. The meeting opened by singing Hymn 199. "'for the Beauty of the Earth." Scripture taken from .Luke 17, verses 11-19. Two readings were given by Eileen and one by Bernice. The offering was collected and - dedicated by Eileen, followed by a poem, Hymn 197 was sung "Now thank We All Our God." ~The November meeting will be held one week later Nov. 10th with a Guest Speaker Marion Crome, community relations worker with Durham Regional Housing Authority. Miss Crome has had Housing Experiences in the Sun- dan and here in Ontario. Mrs. Diane McKinzey will be in charge of the Nov. 10th meeting at the church. The hostess served a delicious lunch. E.R -o2.L- Candidates for Separate School Board SANDRA CORRIGAN The purpose of this statement is threefold; 1) to introduce myself as a candidate for the position of trustee; 2) to outline my objec- tives if elected and 3) to comment on the status of my health at the present time. I am presently a homemaker and mother of five children residing in Prince Albert outside of Port Perry. I am married to Larry Corrigan, a former trustee on the Durham Board of Educa- tion and a Principal with the Catholic school board. Since the children are now older I feel I have the time and the desire to serve the Catholic com- munity in this role; I have been encouraged to seek the office by a number of people who feel I. would bring a fresh perspective to the board as well as a strong faith dimension. If elected I would like to pursue the idea of a Catholic Secondary school for this part of the region as well as an elemen- tary school for the Brock Township. As a former volunteer in schools I would like to en- courage the use of senior citizens as volunteers. I am prepared to work on the opening challenge of bringing the board, the local school and church in a closer partnership. Shortly after filing my nomina- tion papers I was stricken with an outbreak of cancer. This came as a traumatic shock to both myself, family and friends. My condition is serious but I feel strongly that I owe it to myself, family and faith community to continue to live and to finish the campaign. However, I feel it's only fair to you and to the other candidates that you are aware of this fact. I thank you for taking the time to read this statement and seek- ing your prayers and support at the polls, I remain. Sandra Corrigan KATHLEEN LeFORT HELLO. My name is Kathleen LeFort. I am twenty-eight years old, and a longtime resident of Scugog Township. I am married, and have three children attending Immaculate Conception School. I want to ensure that all our children continue to receive quali- ty education. Our children must be well prepared through the school system when they enter the workforce. If we don't look after our children's welfare, we can't expect anyone else to. I am determined to put the ef- fort into ensuring that our children receive the quality of education that they deserve. - Because of our northern boun- daries, I feel the busing policies should be adjusted -- especially regarding school closings during stormy weather; and travelling to sports events. We should look into the for- mulas that are used in determin- ing how staff is allocated to schools. I am determined to put the ef- fort into ensuring that our children receive quality education. Let me represent you, and I'll dedicate myself to the needs of Brock, Uxbridge and Scugog Townships.

Entry was gained through a southwest basement window and a container of coins was stolen. 4 PICTURE IT PAINTED! ) sikkens CENTRAL PAI 2 & WALLPAPER | 295 Ritson Road South -- OSHAWA -- 434-3939 0% % 00, Benjamin Moore & @ Para Paints available ww Wrestlemania at the YMCA Wrestling begins it's second season at November 16 at 6:30 p.m. at the high school in Port Perry.
