12 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, September 19, 1989 Life's Like That by Julia Ashton (from page 8) there was one small problem | had over-looked. | didn't have one of those can openers that makes the little v- shaped holes in the top of the can. So there | was, with a 14-year supply of apple juice and no way to get into it. it's moments like that when | realize why | stayed at home for as long as | did. Do you know how hard it is to survive after having a microwave for years and then going cold turkey? Forget the color television, the video cassette recorder, the stereo, the swimming pool, the whirlpool, the mix- master, the computer, the dishwasher, and the fireplace. So this is the real world. | think | like it. Viewpoint by J. B. McClelland (From page 7) Fact of the matter was, | had not a drop of anything stronger than coffee that evening. But the thought kept rac- ing id: my head that everybody in the place must think I'm half blitzed at the Police Awards Night, trip over my own two feet and wind up on the floor. Talk about feeling sheepish. It was at least two or three minutes before the knee felt good enough to try to stand on it (thankfully it did not give out again as it has been known to do on occasion) Standing at last, with a lot of eyes on me, | gimped over to a table to sit with a couple of the officers from our local 26 Division. | felt like slipping under the table. Thankfully, that evening, when the old trick knee flipped out on me, no other damage was done. Several ears ago, while attending a baseball game at Exhibition tadium, | slipped in the washroom, knee gave out and | Jarched smack on my right wrist on the cold, wet concrete floor. The result of that little mis-adventure was one broken wrist and a cast for the next 42 days. | really should see about trick knee. Surgery many moons ago to remove tom cartilege was not successful (ob- viously) Not only is it remarkably painful when knee gives out, when it h ns in public in front of half the Durham Police Force, it is downright embarassing. A HOT TICKET If you think tickets for Blue Jay games are tough to get, just wait til Anne Bonney, the musical, opens right here in Port Perry in mid-November. My hunch is that all nine performances are goint to be total sell-outs at the old Town Hall 1873 (seats about 220) And well it should be a sell-out. Anne Bonney, the mu- sical, has been written for the stage by Dr. Tom Millar and Nina Foxall. A lot of le around the community have known for some time that Tom and Nina were collaborating on a full-blown musical, and finally they are going to see it. This is original music here, written by Tom with lyrics by Nina. Rehearsals are underway, and several people who have heards bits and pieces say the music is wonder- ful, absolutely first rate. And the story of Anne Bonney (see article in this week's edition of the Star) is fascinating enough on its own merits. I'm told that tickets for the nine shows go on sale very soon. And when they do, you'd best move fast, 'cause they won't last long. sikkens Cetol 1 and Cetol 23 an Ry So the natural beauty of your exterior woodwork -- doesn't fade in the sunlight -- isn't damaged by moisture -- isn't hidden CENTRAL PAINT & WALLPAPER 295 Ritson Rd. S, OSHAWA 434-3939 Scugog unlikely to attract large industry, Mayor says (From page 4) statement, Mayor Howard Hall said that it is unlikely that Scu- gog will be able to attract large industry. "They will stay in Oshawa and Whitby," he said. In a telephone interview with Mayor Hall, he said Scugog has 1,000 acres of land designated for industrial purposes. Sewer and water services are not available on the industrial zoned lands and therefore larg- er industries that use those ser- vices extensively would not be able to locate here. Recent reports from the Re- gion of Durham state that in- dustries are not attracted to the region as a whole because of the high cost of living and the lack of adequate traffic routes out of Durham. Mayor Hall said the report has validity to the present situ- ation, but commented that 10 to 20 years ago Scugog still couldn't attract industry. Mayor Hall also faced heated debate on his stance on tourism. Mr. Frew told the Port Perry Star the tourist industry is of no benefit to 95 per cent of Scugog taxpayers. His taxes pay for the redevel- "opment of the lakeshore, but he does not benefit from it. Often, on weekends, the lakeshore is crowded with non-residents , he said. "Why should my tax dollars go to lakeshore redevelop- ment?" he asked. Mayor Hall said his stance on tourism would include private enterprise getting involved in the redevelopment by building a hotel and other tourist attrac- tions. He said his ideas would not be aburden on the taxpayer. Spring work falls behind Heavy highway traffic and rain have caused delays in re- routing the Chalk Lake Spring to the west side of Regional Road 23. "The pipes are in the ground but we're not diverting the wa- ter yet," said project supervisor Michael Wilson. "We expect to pour the wall where the outlets will be today," Mr. Wilson told the Port Perry Star Friday. Construction of a 12-car park- ing lot and diverting the water was to be completed by Sept. 15. Mr. Wilson said crews were de- layed by heavy highway traffic and rain. Heavy traffic on Regional Road 23 and a large number of spring users prompted Durham Region Council to build the parking lot for safety reasons. Land could not be purchased on the east side, but was ac- quired from a private developer on the west side of the road. Rerouting the water has al- lowed the region to upgrade the facility. The spring water will now flow from four small outlets for residential use, and one large overflow outlet for farm use. Mr. Wilson expects the pro- ject to be completed in two Filly dead weeks, but said they have until mid-October to finish the work. "We made a commitment to Lakeridge Ski Resort to have the work completed by their grand opening," Mr. Wilson said. The region's health depart- ment has continued to test the water quality during the stages of construction and has found no contamination problems, Mr. Wilson said. after shot between the eyes Durham Regional Police are investigating a shooting inci- dent thatleft a three-and-a-half month old filly dead. According to police, a farmer went to check on his horses at the Nestleton Road and Conces- sion 4 on Friday, Sept. 156 when he found the filly with a bullet hole between her eyes.
