WHITBY FREE Pk SS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19. 1975. PAGE 7 Words fro pWestLynde by Norm Mealing Well, faithful reader (s), another week has passed, and here I am again with more of my news and views written from my particular vantage point in West Lynde. The past sevei7days have seen a good deal of newsy thing! fanspire, so, with sincere apologies to those who have comrented recently about this column I1 will get at it. Denis O'Connor: The good people who work hard and long in support of Denis O'Connor High School are holding a dance at the school this coming Saturday, November 29th, beginning at 8:30 p.m. Tickets for the event are $7.00 a couple, and the price of admission includes a buffet, and doorprizes. The music for the evening will be provided by a disc jockey, D & H Sound, and there will be a cash bar. Tickets are still available, so, if you feel like dancing, and want to help out Denis O'Connor High School, give Ann Filo (6283) or Rita Bergman (4896) a call. Brian Evoy: Back in September of 1973, a group of people called a meeting at Anderson SIreet High School to discuss the formation of an association to serve the interests and the needs of the then new community of West Lynde. The meeting was, from all reports, very lively, and debate grew heated as the meeting wore on. As it appeared the meeting was going to degenerate completely into a series of continu- ing arguments, one person took charge. That one person was Brian Evoy. He took the meeting to the point where a Steering Committee was fonned to oversee the establish- ment of an Association, and, followed the adoption of a Constitution, Brian, who had served as Chairman of the Steerinig Committee, became the first President of the West Lynde Community Association. Brian Evoy stepped down as President of the W.L.C.A. in March of this year after having guided it through a most difficult first year of existence. Two weeks ago, after having spent the past six months out of the public eye, Brian declared himself a candidate for the Council seat left Historical I Whitby by Brian Winter w- A large brick home on Perry Street, north of the post office, is one of the few examples in Whitby of the architec- ture of the early 1I890's. It was once the home of Dr. W. O. Eastwood, who carried on a medical practice in this town for nore than 50 years, before his death in 1913 at the age of 82. Dr. William Octavius Eastwood was boni in 1831 at Todmorden, in the Don Valley at Toronto, where today there is a small museun complex of historical buildings. He attended the University of Toronto where he received BA and MD degrees, and did intern and post graduate work in New York Hospitals. In the 1850's, Dr. Eastwood commenced his practice in the Manchester, Prince Albert and Port Perry arca. A regular routine for him was to travel by boat from the mainland to tend to patients on Sugog Island. In 1856 a floating bridge was built between Port Perry and thé island, and Dr. Eastwood is said to have been the first person to cross that bridge. In the 1860's Dr. Eastwood moved to Whitby and developed a large practice here. He also served as coroner for the town and township of Whitby. Dr. Eastwood was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Whitby and belonged to the Anglican Church. He was also a member of the Senate of the University of Toronto. His favorite recreation was horseback riding. Dr. Eastwood was noted for his scientific knowledge of agriculture and horticulture, and contributed many articles on the subject to the press. He married Margaret Brown of Port Perry and hîad three sons and three daughters. Two of his sons also became doc- tors, practising at Claremont and Péterborough. vacant by the resignation of West Ward Councillor Jim Gartshore. Brian stopped by for a chat last Saturday, and we discussed briefly his candidacy for Council. Brian Evoy views himself as a people style politician. He sees hirnself acting on their behalf while bringing sanity and reason to municipal government. He is opposed to what lie calls "government by Chargex", and calls for a fresh look at municipal spending habits, promitLng to work for a no-increase budget in 1976. He wants to ensure that the business of council is not kept hidden from the ratepayers, and lie will work to sec that the "confidential" council meetings are kept to a bare-bones minimum. Brian Evoy looks to his election as an affirmation on the part of the West Ward of the need for "a fresh look" in Cou ncil. West Lynde Mixed Bowling League: Mike Bible called in to report on the developments in the West Lynde Mixed Bowling League. After 12 weeks of bowling, the Hot Sliots and the Yo-Yo's were battling it out -l'or first place with the Hot Shots enjoying a two point edge, 39 to 37. An equally ieated battle was going on for last place between the Alleycats and the Dynamos with the Dynamos, at 14 points, two points behind the Alleycats. Ivan Booth continued his domination of the. men's individual scores, lcading in all but one category. Ivan had the high single, flat, 376, the high triple, flat and with handicap, 910, and the high average, 243. Gerry Schenpp leads the high single with handicap with a 381, 5 better than Ivan's 376. On the distaff side, Jean Booth leads both high singles categories boasting a 309 fiat, and a 328 with handicap. Marlene Short aiso leads in two categories, with a high triple, flat, of 757, and a high triple, with handicap, ol 841. Jan Bentley lias the highest average among the ladies with a 202, followed very closely by Jean Booth, and Barb Holweg, both of whom sport a 199 average. The bowlers of the week on November 10th were Jean Booth with a 706 triple, filat, and Evans Court's leading bowler Leon Thornburn with a 745 triple, flat. Whitby Warriors: Tomorrow night the Warriors go against the Cambridge Hornets. It's a minor hockey night for the boys who play in Brooklin-Whitby Minor Hockey Association, and the game marks the return of Dave Nicholishen as playing-coach. It should be a good night, so why not head on down to Iroquois Park. Game time is 8:30 p.m. December Ist: December Ist is election day in Whitby. Those of us who live in the West Ward will vote for both the Mayor, and the Ward Councillor. As I said carlier in the campaign, it's an important election. We are at a crisis point in Whitby, and in the Region, with alIl sides forecasting large tax increases for 1976. The candidates for Mayor are Jim Gartshore, John X-mas at Whitby Arts An Olde Tynie Christmas display and art mart will be held by Whiithy Arts Inc.

TURN ONS WY ARENIT BECAUSE MY YOU FOttoW FOREMAN SAID ING THE 1 HAD TO GET PROCEDURE MY WOR SET UP By DONE EVEW OUR EFFICIENCYa A EPRT ? PY Goodwin, Bruno Harilaid, Graydon Colville, Warren Mowat, and Gordon Hanna. Running for West Ward Councillor are Brian Evoy, Ralph Stratford, and Dr. Ken Hobbs. For what it's worth, when you vote, you should bear a few things in mind. First, and foremost, we cannot afford any more government, so our new Mayor and Councillor should be on record as opposing any increases in spendîng. Secondly, we can't afford to continue building housing to the exclusion of all else, so that our new Mayor and Councillor have to be committed to aggressively seeking new industrial and commercial development. Thirdly, we need to curtail the Region's domination of the town, so the new Mayor and Councillor have to be.prepared to bring the Region into-line. Fourthly, we don't need new highrises, so our Mayor, and especially our Councillor have to be prepared to stop at two. Finally, we don't need nor can we afford public transportation, so our Mayor and our Councillor, must be opposed to any thought of public transportation in this area. These are just a few of my thoughts. Your choice, and mine, will be difficult. Properly made, it could turn the town around; improperly made, it could simply mean more of the present mortgage today for tomorrow which has characterized things here for too long. Bye for now. See you all next week, I hope! MUSIC 110 BROCK ST .N.
