The secret to the suc- cess of this event comes from everyone lending a hand. Over 15 different "Pitch-In" projects were completed by various vol- unteer organizations. The value of this clean-up is reflected in less tax dollars being spent on litter collection but also in the commitment of groups and or- ganizations in keeping our township clean. Special thanks to the local businesses - Emmerson Insu- rance, Professional Mortgage Brokers, Scugog Chamber of Commerce, agg Funeral Home, Coldwell Banker and Ridge North Realities and Van Camp & Keller Accountants for sponsoring our advertisements to promote the Pitch-In Week projects. Thank you also to Sara Brown and the Environmental Club and classes at Port Perry . High School. Thanks to the fol- lowing groups who spent nu- merous hours not only helping us clean up a variety of areas, but also in "spreading the word;" Anglican Church, R.H. Cornish, Greenbank P.S., S.A. Cawker, Scugog Christian and Epsom Schools. For the fifth straight year, the Bahai's orga- nized by Nancy and Jim Lee have generously contributed their time and efforts to yearly projects. Youth organizations such as the 1st Port Perry Ven- turers, Port Perry Cadets and the 2nd Port Perry Brownies must also be thanked. Last but certainly not least, we would like to thank Albert Putsey and the community of Caesarea and the SCOPE organizations for their ongoing efforts. On Saturday, May 14, the staff of Port Perry IGA, orga- nized by Leo Donnelly cleaned up the new Rotary Environmen- tal Park. This group, with the help from others in the commu- nity will also do some tree main- tenance on all the seedlings planted by school children in the past year. This business has been extremely supportive of all our community environmental events and we sincerely thank them. The support of our communi- ty volunteers always makes Pitch-In Week a worthwhile project in the township. Thank you once again for contributing and realizing that "Cleaning up the world starts at home." A very special thank you to Jim McMillan Tree Farms and Eagle Tree Movers for moving and transplanting two mature trees to Prince Albert.

Cirencenter, Glostershire. Hospital. Don Phinney. 45 YEARS AGO Thursday, May 12, 1949 At 3 p.m. the office of Drs. Rennie and Dymond was threatened by fire. Apparently the blaze started in the basement, but the smoke soon filled the entire building. While the main part of the building was not destroyed, $2,500 in A new industry was about to start on Scugog Island. Prof. Gray and Mrs. Jack Aldred hoped in the near future to be manufacturing clay art goods. A new building was being erected on The 16th annual business mens association meeting was held. Attendants were Mr. Beare, who thanked the executive and members for their splendid co-operation and Mr. Geo. Emmerson, secretary and Mr. Gordon Reesor, treasurer. 30 YEARS AGO Thursday, May 15, 1964 Lynne Beare, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Beare, of Port Perry, received her Gold Gord award at a ceremony for the highest achievement in Girl Guides. Anna Forder and Richard Stephens were invited to skate at the Rotary Ice Revue being held at Maple Leaf Gardens. The Kinsmen Club of Uxbridge, Ontario was forced to cancel their 20th annual spring meet and horse show due to the lack of a 20 YEARS AGO Wednesday, May 15, 1974 After 15 years in public life as an MPP and Provincial Minister, Dr. Matt Dymond has announced his decision to retire next year. Monica Taylor, Port Perry, an avid horsewoman, was off to England for an instructor's course sponsored by the British Horse Society. She was to join the Talland School of Equitation in Blackstock news-Mr. John Wolters, who traveled to Holland to help celebrate his parents' golden anniversary returned home. The first marriage to take place at the Community Nursing Home was solemnized by Rev. R. Brawn. The couple joined in holy matrimony was Elsie Ogden and James Davidson. 10 YEARS AGO Tuesday, May 15, 1984 Friends and colleagues honored Dr. Matt Dymond. The tribute resulted in $5,000 being raised for the building fund at Port Perry Premier Bill Davis and Durham Regional Chairman Gary Herrema attended the opening ceremonies at Cullen Gardens. The fourth annual Durham Police Association Mini-Putt Challenge for Easter Seals was held at the local golf centre. Winners this year were the team from Emiel's, consisting of Rob Kroonenberg, Rick Weeden, Judy Olaisen , Rob Van Miland and Scugog Island Mississaugas Re- serve. Although edited, the re- sponse to my letters has been widespread and positive, with active members of our group from Fralick's Beach, Carnegie Beach, Sunrise Beach, Aldred Drive, in fact, from most of the Island except those few people who live on the Reserve. Our fight is just beginning against this small minority, who are attempting to violate the tranquility of Scugog Is- land, tamper with its water ta- ble and build a massive sewage system. As taxpayers, we pretty well finance the Reserve. As shareholders, through the fed- eral tax system, we are going to have our say, in blocking this lu- dicrous project. Respectfully, Joel W. Aldred, DFC Port Perry Mr. Aldred does not speak for all To the Editor: I must have missed the Cana- da Gazette announcement that appointed Joel Aldred Governor of the Principality of Scugog Is- land. Mr. Aldred seems to enjoy the hallucination, among oth- ers, that he speaks for all the Is- land ratepayers in his recurring fulminations against the activi- ties of the Island Mississaugas. He does not speak for me, and [ wish Chief Edgar and his Band every success in their en- terprises. Yours truly, Patrick Melligan, C.D.

The signed flag flew in the skies for the rest of the after- noon before being replaced with the usual unsigned Canadian Maple Leaf and the Township Flag. T would like to thank those who have been mentioned, as well ag Kins Dave Goldberg and Larry Kendall for their support, advice and help for this event. You should know now Kinsmen that the Raise the Flag events are not over yet. I am organiz- ing some more. We still are left with the task of counting the number of flags flying and win- dow flags displayed throughout the township so keep them up. We will beat Uxbridge Town- ship with your help and your demonstration of patriotism. Thank you! Event Chairman Kin David Bishop
