Shoppers go mad Die-hard shoppers lined the streets of downtown Port Perry right up until midnight last Thursday, following 14 hours of bargain hunting during Moon- light Madness. Local merchants were pleased with the day, and said the crowds were similar in size to those during last year's sale. "There were a lot of people, and it was much more spread out this year. They were shop- ping all day, instead of just at night," said Claudette Brock of Brock's Department Store.

James Fluke, one of our very early Irish set- tlers. This visit unfortunately was interrupted at times be- cause of matters relating to our most recent crisis - that of the landfill site selections. All possi- ble attempts are being made to rid our community of this meance and we ask for every- one's support. Many meetings are being held these days concerning the landfill site which is on the very edge of Blackstock. Elaine Kelly returned on Sunday from an enjoyable mo- tor trip to Western Canada.
