Port Perry is a lovely, well-cared-for little town. The countryside de- lightful and un-spoiled; Lake Scugog a place of enjoyment for everyone. Our homes back onto the Nonquon River, so we are lucky enough to have the enjoyment of the waterway all year long. Or are we? Thanks to a few thought- less, arrogant individuals, the peace of this little community is shattered by these people using the river as a speed-way for their high-powered boats. We have no complaint with speed- boats, but there has to be a place for everything. And the narrow Nonquon River is not the place for racing. On July 1, Canada Day, a flock of over forty Canada Geese was crossing the river. A speed boat plowed through them, kill- ing one and possibly injuring several others. When confronted, the driv- er said he didn't see them, and his comment on taking the life of a bird so needlessly was "it's nothing to get excited about." Well, if a flock of 40 geese can't be seen, what chance would a swimmer have? Or a child floating, or pets retrieving sticks from the water? We have seen people in ca- noes almost upset by these same individuals, and people in small fishing boats having to scurry to get out of their way, (~ ™) Please recycle this newspaper Choose Washability The PAINT STORE PLUS inc.. 701 Rossland Rd.

We would like, through your newspaper to point out to these high speeders, that the waterways are for the pleasure of everyone, not just those with big motors. And finally, a life is a life. Let's hope the same attitude that took the life of a young Can- ada Goose, does not take the life of a child on this river, or even, his own.

RR 2, Seagrave Bus service needed To the Editor: I am a senior citizen who came to Port Perry, 6 weeks ago. It is a charming village, but, very hil- ly, and difficult for old people, like myself to walk about, to the shops in Queen Street or Water Street, for instance. I do not drive a car now, so it is a great problem, to deal with the hilly terrain. I notice that there is no public transport at all here, so, would it not be possible to put a small bus on, say a one hourly service, to cover the shopping areas, name- ly, Queen Street, Highway 7A, and Water Street. There must be many people in my position, and I feel sure that, the bus service would not lose money on the deal, as many younger people would make use of it too. Thank you. I am yours sincerely Mr. Leslie Hyman Editorial Comment (from page 6) douse the flames of nationalism burning in Quebec. After all, it is Rene Levesque's portrait, not Jean Chretien or Pierre Tru- deau, on the t-shirt that is the hottest selling item in the stores of Montreal this summer. A lot of Canadians went out on July 1, 1990, and put on a brave face. Which is commendable. But more than one com- mentator noted the comparison between the flag waving fervor on St. Baptiste Day and on Canada Day. We suspect that a lot of Canadians this July 1, 1990, were just plain tired over the crisis of unity that rears its head every ten years or so. Perhaps as well, at least a few Canadians were turning their thoughts away from the unity crisis to ponder (and worry) about issues just slightly less cerebral: like whether the factory where they work will wind up in Mexico; or the GST that will nip their wallets January 1; or the mortgage that has to be re- newed next month. Eh, Canada. You'd better get your act together, one way or another, and do it fast. Your people (most of whom still love you, by the way) deserve better than they've been getting the last few years. And maybe when July 1 rolls around again in 365 days, your people will be in a better mood to celebrate. You know it asn't been easy being a Canadian recently.
