Remember that Festival Days "wing eating contest" last July? Well, the Community Memorial Hospital's building fund turned out to be the big winner In the wings contest, as some $3500 was turned over to administrator David Brown (centre) last week. At left are Julie Harriman and Annette Copeland of Kentucky Fried Chicken in Port Perry who sup- plied the wings, and at right Is Fred Churchill of the Scugog Chamber of Commerce, which organized the Contest and Festival Days. No, those bags of money did not contain $3500 In quarters. Mr. Brown said the building fund now stands at just over $2.5 million, with the identified target set at $2.7 million. The Port Perry Star has won an award from Crime Stop- pers International. Durham Region Police Sgt. Sandy Ryrie who is co-ordinator of the Crime Stoppers program in this area, accepted a plaque on behalf of the Star on Sept. 18 while attending a Crime Stop- pers Conference in Albu- querque, New Mexico. The award was in a catego- ry for newspapers that appear weekly or twice weekly, and en- tries were received from all over North America, Australia and the United Kingdom. The winning story ap- peared in the May 2 issue of the Port Perry, and dealt with a film re-enactment for Crime Stoppers of a hit and run acci- dent in rural Scugog Township that left a six year old girl with serious injuries. This is the second time the Port Perry Star has won a Crime Stoppers International award. Three years ago, the paper received a plaque for coverage of a Crime Stoppers segment on an un-solved murder in Dur- ham Region. Port Perry Star editor John B. McClelland said he was pleased to receive the award, adding that the Star has been and will continue to be a strong supporter of the Crime Stop- pers program in Durham Re- gion. The Port Perry Star is pub- lished every Tuesday with a paid circulation of 7,000. Crime Stoppers is a world- wide organization that has been operating for about a decade. It is designed to allow citi- zens the chance to help police in their battle against crime of all kinds. Citizens who report infor- mation about crimes to police are eligible for cash awards. They can remain anonymous and never have to testify in court. Sgt. Ryrie said Crime Stop- pers has been operating in Dur- ham Region for the last three years, and during that time Po- lice have laid 700 criminal charges as a result of the pro- gram.
