One of Port Perry’s first “franchise” businesses, Kentucky Fried Chicken, 1888 Scugog St. (7A Hwy.) closed it’s doors without notice the end of September. Customers, arriving at the restaurant were surprised to find the store windows covered with brown paper and a small note thanking them for their support. Nicole Vos and her Cuddly Bunny store have made a hop across Queen Street to a new location at 191 Queen St. (formerly Native Focus). Cuddly Bunny formerly operated from the rear section of P’lovers/Queen Beans, 180 Queen Street. First it was known as IGA, then it became Sobeys and now Port Perry’s only downtown grocery store has been renamed Foodland. The local Sobeys store, located at 270 Queen Street was re-branded on October 12 and now operate under the Foodland banner. It is still owned by the Sobey corporation. That's all we have to report this month! Barb Doupe, chairman of the 2012 Poppy Campaign and Dave Durham, president of Branch 419, Royal Canadian Legion, are hope- ful that the community will once again support the organizations’ an- TIMELESS nual Poppy Campaign, which is now underway in Scugog Township. Photo by J. Peter Hvidsten Poppy Campaign in full swing as Remembrance Day nears It's November and there’s a chill in the air as the sun sinks lower into cold fall sky - but fall is also a time when our thoughts turn to the thousands of men and women who no longer get the pleasure of enjoying the seasons. And with Remembrance Day, November 11, just days away, members of the Royal Canadian Legion can be seen around the community looking for support for their an- nual “Poppy Campaign”. Last year’s campaign raised $29,675 which was used HEATH WOODLARK to support veterans, their spouses and families and nu- merous other community groups and activities including the hospital, cadets, purchase of blankets for long term care patients and a defibrillator. Once again this year wreaths are available and can be purchased by contacting the Legion. Three sizes are avail- able - 14” for $65; 20” for $75, and crosses for $45. And of course, members of the Legion will be canvass- ing the streets of town for the next few days. Don’t walk by them without purchasing a bright, red poppy. It's the very least we can all do to help. FOCUS - NOVEMBER 2012 3 ‘11.NOVEMBER.56 final indd 3 12-10-22 8:41 AM
