2- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, Oct.4, 1994 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Cartwright Central Terry Fox Run Kids raise $4,000 for research Kids at Cartwright Central Public School in Blackstock raised $4,000 for cancer research last week. About 330 students in Grades 4 through 8 took to the fields around the school during their lunch breaks last week, running two kilometres a day to reach their goal of 10 km each over five days. The children gathered about $4,000 in pledges for the Terry Fox Run, said organizer Mary- Anne Deanike. Two classes raised more than $1,000 each. The run at Cartwright Central was a further boost to the area's effort this year. On Sept. 18 several hundred people took to the streets of Port Perry, raising $14,000 in the first Tewy Fox Run in Scugog in years. The run at the school was dedicated to the memory of Sean Mumford, the four-year-old nephew of a school staffer who died recently after a battle with cancer. k Wee i m. run.

Bill Lishman, who plans to fly to the United States with a flock of 39 Canada geese, said last week the planned take- off date of Sept. 29 had to be postponed as more preparations are made. This year's flight to the southern U.S. will be the second by Operation Migration, founded by Mr. Lishman and his colleagues to carry out research of migratory birds, and re- establish the dormant instinct in species. Last year Mr. Lishman, in his ultralight aircraft, accompanied 18 geese to Virginia. He and colleague Joe Duff, a photographer, had tentatively planned to take oft at the end of September, but mechanical problems and concerns about the flock have set them back. "We're not sure the geese are ready yet," Mr. Lishman said last Tuesday. "And we're not sure we're ready yet." "It looks like it will be the 7th (of October) before we go." The birds are flocking well together and sticking with the small aircraft, but needed more long-distance workouts, said Mr. Lishman. The flight to Airlie, Virginia -- the first leg of the journey south -- is 600 kilometres, flown in 50 km stretches with landings scheduled along the way. Some repairs to the ultralights -- Mr. Lishman is to be followed by a camera plane that will shoot movie footage of this year's flight -- also had be be carried out last week, he said. Despite the slight delay, the Operation Migration crew 4 Thanksgiving Food Drive Operation Scugog wants to restock its shelves during the Thanksgiving "Time To Give" Food Drive.

Association attracts 90 for inaugural meeting An association for entrepreneurs with roots in Port Perry is off to a flying start after 90 people showed up for its inaugural meeting last week. The Durham Home Business Association held its first break- fast meeting at the Trillium Trails banquet hall in Oshawa last Wednesday morning; pres- ident Betty Penny, a Port Perry accountant, told those in atten- dance the group will be both a voice and a network for inde- pendent business people. "Our mission statement is home business excellence, and we want to bring the best out of each of you by providing the resources, networking and the education that can help us suc- ceed," said Ms Penny. She said that while there are numerous associations for home business across the coun- try, none existed in Durham Region until she and a number of organizers got together. Groundwork for the organiza- tion began in February, and directors worked through the summer to recruit members and set an agenda for the group, said Ms Penny. "Our goals for the upcoming year will be to write a code of ethics and guidelines for home- based businesses, as we want to have professional credibility," she said. The association will be putting together a business directory, "so that we can pro- mote ourselves to other mem- bers, but also to outside sources." It's important for home- based businesses to have an organization like the associa- tion, Ms Penny said. "By joining this association we become a group of individu- als whose voice can be heard, not only for lobbying for home- based business causes, but also in negotiating with various organizations to get discounted rates for our members," she said. "Home-based businesses are the way of the future." 1) 4 a 4-04 04.0 \ 4 v A 4 ® COMMUNITY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WE CARE NOTICE Community Memorial Hospital, Port Perry would like to announce that the Front Main Entrance Doors will be closed for the next 6 weeks due to renovations in the Main Lobby.
