Certainly, the in- crease in traffic would be a boost to the local economy, but at what cost. Since | am already making plans to book the same cot- tage for a two week stint next summer, it is perhaps selfish to hope that nothing changes in that part of the province, where for a few days it really is possible to "get away from it all" in the most literal sense of the phrase. 20 YEARS AGO Thursday, August 28, 1969 The Ontario Department of Education has confirmed the Port Perry High School's Ontario Scholarships. An Ontario Scholar is one who achieves an average of eighty percent on -' seven subjects of the Grade 13 year. Six students of the Port Perry High School have been awarded the Scholarships: Brian Donnelly, Port Perry, 88.1 percent; Bonnie Malcolm, Nestleton, Dean J. Kelly, Association of Dedicated Canadians Life's Like That by Julia Ashton Bundles of fun When | went to school for journalism my teachers taught me a lot of useful subjects. They taught me about photography, poli- tics, and reporting techniques. What they didn't teach me was weight- lifting.So why would any journalist need to be able to lift weights? Let me start from the be- gining. Yesterday was Wednesday, which in any normal week it would actually be Tuesday but with a holiday Monday, Tuesday lands on Wednesday and Wednesday might as well be forgotten. Confused? It's really quite simple. Although yesterday was Wednesday, a holi- - day on Monday meant we were behind one day in our usual schedule around here. Every Tuesday Peter wakes about the same time as the roosters and drives down to Bowmanville to pick up the 50-zillion copies of the For Perry Star that are printed each week. He returns to the office with the papers around 9:30 a.m. and everyone heads down- stairs to help out. First, every single newspaper is unloaded from the truck. The papers are tied together in bundles of about 50, and by the time they reach their first destination, each bundle has been lifted by about three people. i Once all the papers are inside it's time to open the bundles and insert flyers -- usually lots and lots of flyers. | want everyone toJdook at their fingers right now. Has the newsprint rubbed off the paper and onto your hands -- or even worse -- your clothes. Well image the mess after stuffing 50-zillion flyers into 50-zillion newspapers. But the fun doesn't end there. Once the fly- ers are in place, we have to carry the newspa- pels tag) over to a table where they are re- und. After they are put back into the bundles, the newspapers are stacked in the truck again so we can take them to the different variety stores and the post offices. During my first week at the Port Perry Star, | felt a little left out when Peter and Rob jumped in the truck and the van on their weekly paper routes. So yesterday | open my big yap and begged Rob to let me tag along 'with him. We had the big route -- the one that in- cludes all of Port Perry, Columbus, Myrtle and Brooklin. Now we all know the parking situation in Port Perry is next to nil. So many people love to shop in our town and there is never a park- ing space left in any public parking lot. This meant*Rob and | were forced to walk what seemed like miles to certain convenience stores with bundles of newspapers tucked un- der our arms and hanging from our fingers. It may not seem like such a big deal, but when you consider that each bundle weighs about a - ton, you can image the pain inflicted on my tiny little fingers. Now | don't have the pretties hands. In fact' I've been told to my face that my hands are downright ugly. (Some people are so cruel.) | realize | can't grow finger nails to save my life and my hands do look like they belong to a 90-year-old woman, but if you thought my hands were ugly, you should have seen them when we finished delivering the papers. My hands were black, my knuckles were even blacker, and | had dirt under what | call nails. Rob told me not to worry. The dirt comes off -- by next Tuesday. But it wasn't the dirt that bothered me so much. It was the pain. After delivering the last bundle of newpapers my hands were so cal- loused and my fingers so sore | just wanted to cut off my hands. In fact the pain was so bad | comtemplated typing this column with my tongue. No pain, no gain, they say. UGGH! 88.0 percent; James Gerrow, Port Perry, 86.0 percent; William Taylor, Port Perry, 83.0 percent; Rick Ballard, Port Perry, 81.1 percent; and Robert Smith, Port Perry, 80.3 percent.
