20- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 30, 1998 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" R > PORT PERRY STAR < URAL Roors Congrats to all CCPS students headin What a vicious storm passed through Southern Ontario on Thursday night. Even though it brought the very badly needed rain, the high winds created con- siderable chaos. Many trees, especially the large, older ones suffered badly. Mother Nature is certainly bigger than mankind. A lovely afternoon at Nancy and Bob Bryans Cadmus farm was enjoyed when about 35 descendants of the late May (Gaud) and Morley Wilkins gath- ered for the 28th picnic. The Wilkins farm was on Trulls Road south in Courtice and is now Fieldstone Estates with a Wilkins Crescent. Much remi- niscing with the Balsons from the Hampton area, the many scattered Browns of Bowmanville and all our local Bryans was enjoyed. Our community was saddened with the sudden passing of Frank Staniland on Sunday. Details of the visitation and service time are unavailable at time of writ- ing. Sympathy is extended to his family and friends. Valerie and Ron Linton became the parents of a very small baby girl last Sunday. The baby remains in Kingston Hospital. Nicole Gibson underwent fur- ther surgery in Sunnybrook Hospital. Jean Adams spent last week in Oshawa Hospital. Ruth Thompson has been moved to Lakeview Manor, Beaverton. Your many friends have you all in our hearts. Many attended the Retirement Party and roast hon- oring Eric Fletcher on Wednesday evening. The pro- gram included speeches from former students, colleagues and two boyhood friends who had attended high school with Eric.

Preparations are well under- way for the annual Tractor and Truck Pull which will be held this Friday and Saturday Where are the Canadian fla gs going? School is out Last year in June I went out and purchased eight large flags and installed them on the main street of our village. Within a week four of them disappeared. We left the remainder up until after Remembrance Day. This year I obtained eight new flags, spent three and a half hours ripping up oak hard- wood and securely fastened the new flags to them. Spent another two hours that night with a volunteer fastening them to the poles. Next morning when I went by around 10 a.m. two had been taken. These were installed for our dedi- cation of Canada Day held this past Saturday night. The shame and dis- respect of some individuals toward the country they live in is beyond all comprehension. Fireworks I apologize for the late start of the races. This was beyond my control. The races were to be over by about 8:30 to 9 p.m. and then we were going to form in a large area and I was going to give a talk about the 14 plaque cards of early Cartwright's history. However, we did lay them out on tables in the hall and they were there for people to see. The snack bar was busy all evening and the crowd was larger than last year. With the gate fee and Pauline's (Sunnyside Market), gift of $200, we made over the cost of the fireworks. The snack bar and lucky draw profit goes into the bank for our community Caesarea BY improvements. Thank you one and all for attend- ing and a special thanks to our young people who did the finger painting, the firefighters who let off the fire- works, hall board and all the regulars who work so hard including our coun- cillor David Deitlein.
