8 - PORT PERRY STAR - - Tuesday, June 16, 1992 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Appalled with Aldred | etters to the editor Questions wisdom of councillors To the Editor: We are "appalled and upset" to quote our neighbor, Joel Al- dred, and somewhat saddened by the comments attributed to him regarding Native issues in a speech he made to the Port Perry Rotary Club last week, and written up in your paper. The days of Indian agents and Mr. Aldred's rather anti- quated views are thankfully long gone. We support the efforts of all the people on our first Nation, including our Economic Devel- opment Officer, Gary Edgar, as we move forward toward self- sufficiency. Keeping the public informed about key issues and happen- ings on our First Nation is, we think, critical to our develop- ment since we must work to- gether with our neighbors in or- der to succeed.

FEEDING FRENZY Life at the cottage is full of surprises. Not least is the Over-eating in the city is something I've got under control by not eating out, by not shopping too much, by not having any free time and by spending all my spare money at the cottage. If all But cottage life is a different matter, conducive to frequent social gatherings, bounteous feasts and serious gorging. The simmering aromas and lingering vistas of the gourmet spreads seem only to tantalize the taste buds for the anticipation of the next banquet. And each over-indulgent partaking thereof necessitates a long, slow recovery in a lazy hammock by the lake Forgetting the steaks, burning the burgers, sand in the salad To the Editor: The wisdom of council mem- bers is to be questioned when they constantly refuse to allow affordable homes in the coun- try. Our company wishes to offer "Oak Meadows" for $17,000 plus the township levy tax. This could provide a family home for less than $100,000. At the same time council supports planners who claim these lots only should sell for more than $200,000.

A fourth piece of property, the school at Prospect, was sold for $2,550 to Mr. Warner Malischewski. Offset printing became the method used by this newspaper making its debut with this edition of the Port Perry Star. 20 YEARS AGO Wednesday, June 14, 1972 A Sunday afternoon fire caused an estimated $3,000 damage to a two-storey frame home on Scugog Island, which was occupied by Mr. Danny Maundrell. A spark from a rubbish fire ignited wooden shingles on the roof of the home. William James Carnaghan, son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Carnaghan of Blackstock, graduated from the University of Western Ontario with honors B.A. in journalism. He is presently on the staff of the Peterborough Examiner. An automobile advertisement listed a 1972 Datsun fastback with a four cylinder engine, gold with matching interior, radio for the economical price of $2,295. 10 YEARS AGO Tuesday, June 15, 1982 About 40 crew members and two "movie stars" came to Port Perry to tape an episode of the television program The Littlest Hobo. The movie stars were London and Toro, two German Shepherds who share the lead role. After a 29-year teaching career, Aileen Shier has decided to retire.

Library says thanks for coverage To the Editor: I just wanted to say thanks to Marnie for coming to the library last Friday to take a picture, ac- knowledging Scugog Library's 10th Anniversary of serving this community at the Water Street location. I would also like to thank you for covering Bill Lishman's book signing at the library on Saturday. We always appreciate the Port Perry Star's coverage and support of Scugog Library.

Then as I couldnt be counted upon to do enough damage on my own, there are the socials. One bloated day as the wife and I were trying to recover in time for dinner, she noticed an ad under "Upcoming Events" in the local classifieds. It was an open invitation to a Strawberry Social. Never having met any socially, we attended the local church where perhaps the moderating influence of a reverent atmosphere would curb our worst excesses. But no. "Feed the hungry" took on new meaning as our meal p tickets earned us entrance to a veritable cornucopia of culinary 1 delights laid out buffet style so there was no waitress to slow down our getting to the goodies. This paradise of cold cuts, { salads, casseroles, roasts, buns, veggies, was all there for the more-than-once taking. It was all I could do to drag myself over to meet some of those strawberries for dessert. But I'm nothing if by not polite. Once hooked, our weekends became a frenzy of gastronomic indulgence. A turkey supper here, a beef bar-b-que there, and in between, bake sales, corn roasts and the bounty of roadside stands and chip wagons.

Also, it's tough to be social with your mouth full. Somehow, the wife discovered the truth about the wild life. Since she prefers to know exactly who she's eating, we now eat at the cottage. Simply. Only what we can identify. Only what we like. Only what has not been moving around on our property the night before, And we socialize with our own strawberries. )
