18- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 4, 1996 > PORT PERRY STAR < RURAL L "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" y | Roots Regatta ball game is sc I attended the Hall Board Meeting Sunday, June 2 and according to the figures they made money on the last dance. An intermediate inspection was made of the work pro- ceeding fireworks was dis- cussed. There was a disappointed feeling about not getting the Big V equipment for Regatta's field day which was ordered before Regatta time last year. The next big item is the "Regatta Ball Game." This is slated for June 15 at 7 p.m. at Nestleton Park. We expect the Scugog Fire Fighters will have a sharp team out there this year. Remember the Police won last year. Players and their families are expected to arrive at 6 p.m. for a bite to eat. There are slides, swings and etc. for junior - tots in the immediate area. We request $5 per car or $2 per head. So Ma and Pa take the kids and bring along the neighbours' youngsters to see the teams play off. It serves two fold. First it's an evening of entertainment and secondly it cements a rela- tionship between our police and our young people which 1s needed today. Any funds derived from the evening will be spent on park improvements. Pig Roast The next item on the list is a pig roast in Putsey Park, Caesarea, set for Saturday, June 22 by the Victory Christian Centre. Time and events I will have for you next week. Fireworks At the Hall Board meeting I was given the green light to hold the Caesarea Fireworks at the Hall Saturday night starting at 7:30 p.m. June 29. Albert SU) CTAVAN This is a joint venture between the Caesarea Hall Board and the Lake Scugog Regatta Assogjation. Here we are play- ing special tribute to our nation's birthday.

All you folks of the surround- ing area come on out and Celebrate Canada's Birthday with us. Education We have had visitors from the Bertelsmanor Foundation of Germany visit our Durham Region School Board and we have been invited to partici- pate as finalist in an interna- tional competition against Hungary, .

Joke of the Week: A man was much overweight and went to his physician for help. The doctor told him he wanted him to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, then repeat the procedure. " When I see you in two weeks you should have lost five pounds," he said. Two weeks later he weighed in at the doctor's office with a loss of 20 pounds. "I see you followed my instructions," the doctor said. The patient nodded, "But I thought I was going to die at the end of the third day." "From hunger?" the doctor asked. "No , from skipping." vw - - To gua ' ~ . - ---- Musicale will be held on Sun- Strawberry Social is planned for Sunday, June 23. There will be games and stories for the children.

The one hundred guests at the happy event which was held at the beauti- fully decorated Recreation Centre were family members who had travelled from many points of Ontario to attend and some close friends. The head table had the wedding party of 40 years ago - the bride and groom, their attendants - Ai- leen VanCamp, Shirley (Vance) Simmons, Helen (Toms) Dorrell, Merrill Van- Camp, Harvey Graham and Swain VanCamp. Wilma who looked beautiful in her pale blue gown remarked that 40 years ago brides did not give any speeches so at this occa- sion she gave a delightful story of the activities of their five children and their families. Everyone sang "Happy Birth- day" to Mrs. Norton (Doris) VanCamp on her 81st birth- day. Congratulations and best wishes for many more happy anniversaries Wilma and Keith!
