Bonnie Windsor, Worthy Matron; and Richard Windsor, Worthy Patron, Blue Ray Chapter #238 O.E.S. Three cheers for league's organizers To the Editor: I would like to commend the organizers of Port Perry girls baseball. As a first time sponsor of abaseball team I was very im- pressed by the way these games were handled. Having grown up on the base- ball field I have had many expe- riences with poor organization, poor sportsmanship and poor coaching. I would like to take this time to let these people know how impressed I was with the whole season. I would especially like to thank Karen Henry, the coach of our girls team. Rarely have I seen a coach insist that the game was for fun, not just to win. Our girls definitely en- joyed the season, win, lose or draw. I would also like to thank the parents of the girls for their sup- port and examples of fair play. Last of all, I would like to thank the girls on our team for one of the best seasons I have seen in many years. They may have finished in second place but to me they are all winners and I am proud to have been their sponsor. Melody Chapman, Kountry Bulk and Deli Building will be spoiled by renovations From Page 6 If the brick was in poor shape it was due to moisture problems from within or poor drainage from the roof. Besides, damaged bricks can be replaced and wa- ter problems corrected and they can be viable solutions for those who care about conservation. Application of stucco will not correct the above mentioned problems and is sure to fook To the Editor: The article concerning the dog bylaw being reviewed in last week's paper really up- set me because there was lit- tle reality behind it. Without getting too in- volved, I'd like to say that perhaps cats should be re- viewed. Why can a cat run at large with no problem, with- out tags? They rip up your bag of garbage that you have happened to have left out, or walk all over your car that Animal critics: Lighten Up you have spent two hours cleaning. A dog wouldn't do that! The one point I'd like to make is; for the person(s) who have nothing better to do than complain about a dog barking or actually urinat- ing on your lawn..GET A LIFE! Complain to or about someone who can give you their own point of view! Proud tobe a dog owner, Cindy Harris even more shabby as it cracks and blisters in a few short years. So sadly, for years to come, the spirit and craftmanship put into one of Port Perry's more prominent buildings is tobe smothered in a dull lifeless mask of cement originally in- vented to cover up sloppy con- struction. Maybe a future council will realize how significant the ar- chitecture of Port Perry is to its citizens and the tourists who flock here every year, and have the resolution to create and stand behind policies that pro- tect and respect Port Perry's ar- chitectural heritage.

Give the Gift of Life! Blood Donor Clinic Wednesday, Sept. 14, 1994 Masonic Hall - Port Perry 2:00 - 8:00 PM Editor's McArthur, who's been keeping us up to date on developments, reports nothing but enthusiastic responses to the invitations for run participants ancholy -- while we anxiously ticked off the squares on the calendar. HEY: THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES: While Notepad by Jeff Mitchell WATCH MY (PUFF... PUFF...) DUST YOU GOTTA SEE THIS: Everyone is invited to come out this Sunday, Sept. 18, and watch Star publisher J. Peter Hvidsten and me, along with other media luminaries like Star sports editor Kelly Lown and (Yes! It's true!) advertising manager Ana Jackman lace on our sneakers, take to the course -- and soon collapse on the pavement, sweating and heaving for breath. For a good cause, of course. Sunday marks the revival of the Terry Fox Run for cancer research in Port Perry, and a team of organizers have been working like the dickens to put on the best show possible. And it's paying off: Event coordinator Elizabeth and volunteers she's been sending out via the Port Perry Star. The event gets under way Sunday morning bright and early -- 9 a.m. -- at Palmer Park in Port Perry, and participants -- who can run, walk, ride, rollerblade, whatever -- will fan out and do their choice of a one, five, or 10-kilometre course. If you're participating, welcome -- and watch my dust. If you're not, please sponsor someone who is... and by all means, come out and watch the fun. And for God's sake -- get out of the way when Peter comes bearing down on that rickety three- speed of his. AAAAAAAHHH! .. That, I have no doubt, is what my wife said Thursday around 9:30. Both kids were off to school, at last, and she was able to look forward to a few days of R and R before returning to her own job Monday. We live in York Region right now, where classes didn't start until Thursday because of the observ- ance of Rosh Hashanah. So the kiddies were allowed a few more precious days of freedom -- late summer is such a blend of bliss and mel- we're in such a peaceful and generous mood here on Page Seven, here's a note of thanks to the folks who worked so hard to bring us the Port Perry Fair on Labor Day weekend. The board showed us initiative and dedication in putting together a program with something that would appeal to everyone, and it paid off -- in spades. Fair board president Paul Christie told us Tuesday morning that about 15,000 people attend- ed the fair, and that's the best turn-out ever. And one more thing: Kudos too to the people who put together the program in Blackstock the previ- ous weekend. The Fair is one of the greatest tradi- tions of country living, and it's important to keep the tradition strong. And thanks of course to The Man Upstairs, who smiled down on us with fine weather both weekends. BAGPIPE UPDATE: Readers can decide for themselves which is superior -- Pakistani or Scottish pipes -- during a demonstration at my house in Sutton Saturday. Kilts are optional. I aT
