BOASHWOOD' ) Jr INS TA bd 1200 Phillip Murray Ave., OSHAWA 7 A 436-1344 52 Water St., Port Perry PHONE 985-4241 MON-SAT 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM SUNDAY 12:00 Noon to 4:00 PM Meg 2 SET I Couple fighting parking Mid-Town Mall Rick Skan was less than amused last week when his wife Jo came home with a $16 park- ing ticket. In fact, the Port Perry resi- dent was downright angry. So that he plans to fight the hot in court. And he has taken his story to this paper and one in Oshawa where the ticket was issued the morning of February 7. What irks Mr. Skan is that the ticket was issued while his wife's car was parked properly in the lot at Oshawa Mid-Town mall, while his wife was in the mall. According to the citation, the ticket is for parking "on pri- vate property without owner's consent." He just can't believe a tick- et would be issued for these rea- sons when the owner of the car isin the mall. Furious, he contacted the mall and was told there is a li- cy of issuing tickets "at random" to discourage people who are not shopping in the mall from parkingin the lot. Apparently, people who are doing business at nearby Oshawa City Hall have been parking their vehicles in the mall lot. Mr. Skan can understand that. But there was no warning, there were no signs posted to that affect, and his wife was in the mall, not at City Hall. And the ticket was issued within 15 minutes of when she pulled into the lot shortly after 9:00 in the morning. Although his wife does shop at Mid-Town on a regular basis, that particular day she did not purchase anything. ticket issued at Oshawa's A] A representative of the mall told Mr. Skan that if his wife could show a proof of pur- chase for that day, the mall would pay the $16 ticket. But that's not the point, he fumed. What about shoppers who are just browsing for half an hour, or stop for coffee. "I just can't understand how they can ticket cars at ran- dom in an effort to discourage people who are arkin there and going elsewhere," he told the Star. "That is some way to treat their customers." He said he has no intention of paying the fine until he's had a chance to tell his story in front of ajudge. And he said the Mid-Town Mall in Oshawa has lost a cus- tomer over this $16 ticket. Tenth annual Kidney Foundation Dance The 10th annual Kidney Foun- dation Dance, sponsored by the Ransberry family, will be held March 3 at the Newcastle Com- munity Hall, Mill St., Newcastle.

Michelle has accepted a posi- tion with Centenary Hospital, Scarborough. The Ransberrys became involv- ed in fundraising for the Kidney Foundation after family member Don Ransberry underwent a kidney transplant in 1968. Don, now 43 yeas old, is one of the world's longest surviving transplant patients. Today, he continues to enjoy good health and joins his family in trying to help others afflicted with kidney disease. Durham residents are remind- ed that March is Kidney month in Canada. Meanwhile, this is a special year for many Durham kidney patients. The Ontario Ministry of Health recently an- nounced funding for a kidney unit at Oshawa General Hospital.
