"A Family Tradition for 132 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, August 11, 1998 - 21 RRs ---- > PORT PERRY STAR TR URAL Roots Road sign confusion could send tourists home Pine Ridge Garden Club Shirley Love reported that the bus trip to Waterloo and then by one of the old time trains to St. Jacobs is pretty near filled with only six seats left.

Lake Scugog Historical Society Don't forget this Sunday, August 16th, is the "Cruise Classic Car Show". Time 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the museum on the Island. You'll enjoy seeing them and talking to the owners. It's always nice and cool with a breeze on top of the Island. Highway Signs I would like to warn anyone who is travelling into areas they are not familiar with on our highways, you may become con- fused. With the down loading by the province to the region of certain highways and the infor- mation centres not having the new road maps with the changed regional numbers, it is very con- fusing. You see regional high- way numbers not on your map. You think you are going the right way when suddenly you see Queen's highway number point- ing in another direction. Confusion, Confusion, Confusion. I can see our American visitors returning home completely disgusted. I was! L.S.R.A. I would like to make it clear that my report on the Lake Scugog Regatta Association hol- iday regatta was not written by me. I am thankful for it as I was away. I had a sub title "Reported by the "Lake Scugog Regatta Association" which was omitted. So, you people whom have differences about the arti- cle, I'm sorry it's not my baby. Morals This week I was working alone on a project which was Caesarea being torn down. You can imag- ine everything looked rather junky when two men and a small boy about four dropped in to see what was going on. There was a small bicycle under some of the junk which one of the men spotted. He advised the young lad to take it. If they had taken it, wouldn't it have been out right theft as I was the owner of the junk. You can see by his remarks how children can get the idea to take things that don't belong to them. What trouble will this lad be in when he reaches four- teen or fifteen years of age? Historic Building Lost By Fire At 3 a.m. this week our fire- fighters were called out to extin- guish a blaze in the old Ken Glides' Imperial station building at the north west corner of Hwy. 57 and Herron Road in Caesarea. During the winter months when our town was a great summer resort and permanent residents were about 5% of the population, Ken Glide built boats in there. Harold Drew bought one and Bill Burns and Ernie Lay bought another. They were about 16 to 17 feet long with full front seat then the engine area plus a full back seat plus a full deck up front. Later it was changed into Walkers Bake Shop. These peo- ple had a neighbourhood bake shop in Toronto. During the summer business dropped off with many of their customers away, so they came to our town and opened Walker's Bakery. They were here for many years. Later parts of the old garage was torn down to make room for a house but most of the old land mark remained. Another his- toric story in Gaesarea's passing parade. Joke of the Week A friend of ours ordered home delivery of their local newspaper. Because they lived in a rural area where no street numbers are used they were concerned that the carriers would have trouble finding them. Sure enough. They missed delivery several days despite frequent calls to the circulation depart- ment. Finally she phoned to cancel the subscription. "You'll have to tell me your exact loca- tion" the woman on the line said. We can't cancel the subscription unless we know where you live.
