26 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, July 16, 1991 " Local children enjoying soccer | If you find you are hot and need some fresh air come to the soccer fields. All you need is a lawn chair. You will be royally enter- tained by the youngsters in our area running their little legs off. Last Tuesday night Scugog Moving and Storage won 10-1 in Stouffville. John Schewaga scored five goals, John Chambers scored three, Robbie Bredin scored one and the star of the game Becky Evans scored one. Everyone played like a team, thanks to the quiet knowledgeable expertise of their coach Roy Cowling. I think Becky played even bet- ter that night to impress her dad Ron Evans who put away the tractor and the haying apparatus to come and cheer her on. We are going to insist that he give up far- ming to come to every game in the future. Congratulations to Tracie An- drews, Cheryl Moore & John Tzikas for winning the Ontario Scholarships for 1991. I can remember when Tracie had a grape war with our neighbour's daughter and they threw grapes all over the yard. The mother was not impressed. "Remember the good old days," eh Pracie! Thursday evening Homestead Furniture won 2-1 over Bowman- ville. Both goals were scored by Shawna Cornish but she was greatly supported by her team. Michelle Evans and Heather Bredin played extremely well against the big guys. Thanks to Wayne Evans who came out to cheer the girls on. I'm sure everyone enjoyed Festival Days. Did you get to vote for your favourite baby or man or lady? Well, maybe next year? We have to write more news this week for a certain neighbour of mine. He has a beautiful pool that he lets my kids use so I must try to be wordy. If you have any news please call as we'd like to keep John B happy. Sunday's Church service was sparsely attended but Bob read us a very intriguing story about "So it was you all along." Great story telling Bob. Mr. and Mrs. M. Watson, Mr. and Mrs. J. DenBoer and a group of near ten Beacock relatives were among the many guests at- tending the Beacock and VanHarten wedding held in Hope Christian Reformed Church, Prince Albert on Saturday. Reception was held in Sunderland Arena. by Ilean Pugh Congratulations to Tracie An- drews, Cheryl Moore and John Tzikas who had 80 per cent or more in Grade 13 and won an On- tario Scholarship.

Residents enjoy Myrtle barbecue es ER BA Ro RRR ee er er er by Florence Ashton A I would like to begin by making a correction from last week's col- umn. Monday, July 1 marked the 5th annual picni¢ at Ashburn Park - not the 50th as was printed. We do not like to misinform our readers. Mr. Don Gardner from Verdun, Manitoba enjoyed a holiday with Bill and Bernice Gardner. It is nice to see Bill Davis out enjoying some of the summer activities. Many Ashburn residents en- joyed the beef barbecue at Myr- tle United Church last Saturday evening, in aid of their furnace fund. There was a good response from the immediate area. The Golden Slippers from Scugog Island entertained. The weather looked a bit threatening for a while, but the rain held off. Rev. Shirley Gale will be on vacation from July 16 to August 15. Gwen Cassady of Toronto spent the weekend with Muriel Fisher. Summer church services at Glen Major United Church throughout the summer months, including Labour Day weekend. Time: 7:30 p.m. Give me a call with some newsy items at 655-4240.

Hundreds enjoy Blue Grass music and wings Blue grass music was on tap Saturday afternoon at the Settlement House Shops. The concert, held in the Af- fordables parking lot, fea- tured blue grass band Blue Mule (pictured above). Former Port Perry resident, Glen MacDonald, played the banjo. He is pictured (left) playing a solo. Settlement House owners Daphne and Tom Mitchell served up barbecued chick- en wings and Caesar salad to the hungry fans. Hundreds of people turned out to watch the band and munch on chicken wings. PHOTOS BY JULIA DEMPSEY
