2 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, April 14. 1976 Career Details ftrom Voice Sergeant Spoils One Girl's Detective Ambition She's Only 5'1" But They Ask for 5'4"1 by Liz Armstrong The girl in the front row of the Bowmanville High School auditorium was clearly disap- pointed. She had come to hear Sgt. John Hamilton of the Durham Regional Police Force talk about his chosen career, and her ambition was to become a police detective.1 "Successful male applicants must be at least five feet, eight inches tall," Sgt. Hamilton told the 200 students attending his Careers Week seminar. "Females should be at least five foot four and weigh 110 pounds.'" "I'm only five-one," she groaned. "At this rate, 'll never make it." She's probably right--at 16 years of age, another three inches is a lot to ask. What's My Line? Sgt. Hamilton was only one of over 30 guest speakers that David Schwalm and his Stu- dent Services Department invited to the school recently to talk about careers. A few, like the girl who wanted to be a detective, were disappointed, but then there's not much a guidance counsel- lor can do about physical re- quirements for a job. But the majority of the B.H.S. stu- dents thought Careers Week was a great success. 1 As well as a representative from the police, there was a veterinarian, a radio an- nouncer, a lawyer and a hairdresser, just to name a small cross-section of the guest speakers. The point of the whole exercise was to help as many students as possible answer the perplexing question, "What do I do when I finish high school?" In the past the Student Services department has tried many different methods to help students find information about various jobs. One idea tried in past years was to hold a 'Careers Expo' in the gym, but the program didn't live up to its expectations. Ideally, as Mr. Schwalm pointed out, the best way for a student to choose a career would be to allow him to go out and actually watch a doctor, accountant or journalist in action. Needless to say, how- ever, with over 1,000 students enrolled at B.H.S., the guid. ance counsellors would be swamped if they tried to undertake such a massive task. Careers Week, which tool three months to plan, was the next best alternative. Junior Assembly The week started off on an interesting note. The grade 9 and 10 students were involved in an assembly tailored after the television program "What's My Line?" The student questioners were given the challenge of guess- ing the career of each of the four panel members within a four minute time limit. After it was all over, the students had fared quite well. Though the insurance adjustor left them stumped, they came close to establishing the iden- tity of the agriculture repre- sentative, and had little trouble correctly guessing the social worker and dental assistant. Then, from Monday after- noon to Friday, the school played host to its long list of visitors and each of the students was permitted to attend three of the seminars. Most of the speakers gave a brief talk to the students about their backgrounds, education and experience, and then threw the meeting open for questions for the remainder of the 40 minute session. Judging by the fact that over 100 students attended the social work seminar and nearly 200 filled the upper half of the auditorium for the session on police careers, these were the most popular of the students' choices. Individual reaction to each of these sessions was varied, though several students who were asked for their com- ments unanimously agreed on one thing--Careers Week was decidedly beneficial. For some students, the seminars served to reinforce a choice tbey'd already made, AnnettetRypstra, aGrade 13 student, has already been accepted in the social work course at Humber College. so she went to hear Mary Attersley of the Social Ser- vices Department of the Region of Durham. "Although I already have a general knowledge of this field, I wanted to hear a social worker speak about her experiences and wat it meant to her," Annette said. For 17-year.old Denis Michaud, the seminar on econormies may have given him some new insights, "Be- fore I went to hear the economist, I really didn't know what it was about. I went to the seminar with a clean slate but came away with som ideas of bow important an economist is." Grade 9 student Jim Martyn wants to be a farmer, but he attended the social work seminar because he is inter- ested in psychology and "in helping people with their problems." Erin Nicks, A Grade 10 student, found not only the Careers Week program of help, she gives full marks to tbe Student Services Depart- ment as a wbole.

Thursday was quiet as far as alarms went but there were two service calls, one at 7:30 p.m. on the Schwarz property near the Baseline at Bowman- ville Creek where two young men were found with a campfire and asked to exting- uish it. A washdown of a gasoline spill was required at 10:15 p.m. following a two vehicle accident at Courtice and Taunton Roads. At 12:59 a.m. Saturday a fire was reported in the Soper Creek Park but was found to be near the old miIl at the bottom end of Simpson Aven- ue wbere remains of an old bousefnot yet cleaned up bad been ignited. Saturday afternoon at 2:39 Bowmanville firemen re- sponded with the water tanker to battle a bush fire on the McDonald property, northeast of Leskard as the Orono brigade were already tied up with a major grass fire which burned from one concession to the next. A small grass fire at 277 Liberty Street north resulted in an alarm at 3:29 p.m while the Bownville crew again took the tanker to Orono's aid for the Jackson bouse fire at Kendal Saturday evening. Newcastle Village fire- fighters were called out three times Saturday, two of the cals coming witbin minutes'of each other. The first call was turned in by Newcastle OPP who reported grass burning along the CPR rail line south of highway 2. While at that fire, a second alarm despatched the village brigade to a bush fire on the south side of highway 2 about half way between the village and Newtonville. Sparks from a nearby campfire were the apparent cause. Bowmanville firemen were called out twice on Sunday, the first call being an old shed at the Potter house at 2:55 p.m. and the second the major fire at 131 Elgin Street at 4:13 p.M. Newcastle had an alarm Sunday for a grass fire east of the golf course road on the third concession of Clarke. Then on Monday, three calls continued to keep Bowman- ville firefighters busy. The first alarm came at 12:12 p.m. for a grass fire at Bob Bickle's on the sixth concession, two miles east of the Tyrone road. At 3:41 p.m. firemen re- sponded to 26 West Beach for a spaceheater, the same resi- dence as recently had a similar problem at 4:31 a.m. on March 9. 1 Monday's action finally con- cluded with a report of a barn fire across from the Kings- court Townhouses at 9:47 p.m. apparentl'y started by unknown parties. Bd. Members (From Page One) continue with the agenda of the meeting. Coun. Ann Cowman second- ed the motion as she felt the discussions over the budget would be and should be lengthy and that a special meeting should be held to deal with it. Chairman of the Finance Committee, Coun. Ken Lyall, supported proceeding with the budget discussion while the board representatives were present, some of them having taken time off work to attend. Lt was* not clear how the board members gathered the impression that they were to discuss the budget matter as only the building permit problem was listed on the agenda, however the motion to continue with the agenda carried. With that result, the board members departed in a some- what angered mood. Although the council motion calls for the meeting with the board on the budget to be held here, the members present Monday commented on de- parture that if a meeting is scheduled, it would in their opinion have to be held in Cobourg. They refused Monday to discuss a possible time, ad- vising council to contact the board office in Cobourg. MAAoffatt Wins (From Page One) on the issue was "the most relentless, dogged effort Vve seen in many years," Mr. Lewis said. After accepting the nomin- ation of the association, Mr. Moffatt said the recent non- confidence motion put for- ward by his party in no way contradicted their attempt to make minority government work. The NDP was forced to make the move, he said when the government refused to take their criticisms serious- ly. The turning point in their support of the government came when provincial Trea- surer Darcy McKeough asked the federal Anti-Inflation Board to review the salaries of provincial public servants, he said. "When that happens, we have no choice but to. move non-confidence," he told his supporters. Mr. Moffatt was elected to his first term in the legislature on Sept. 18 last year and is serving as the consumer and commercial relations critic at the present time. St. Marys Cement of Bow- manville are hosting the first annual St. Marys Invitational Hockey Tournament this Sat- urday (April 17) at the Darlington Arena from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Welcome Input Citizens of Bowmanville are being given an opportunity to express their views on the uses and contents of the Soper Creek Park, being developed by the Jaycees. The public input is sched- uled to be held at the park on Saturday, April 17 com- mencing at 1:30 p.m. Those attending the meeting will first be treated to a tour of the park to observe what effects the clearning oper- ations which the Jaycees have conducted under an LIP grant have had on the area. All interested citizens and public figures are, asked to gather at the designated time at the old mill where the meeting will be held following the tour. What the Jaycees hope to gain from the meeting is an understanding of the types of uses people would like to see made of the park and the types of equipment they feel would be most useful in it. Salvage Yard (From Page One) expense of planting trees of a similar height at a cost of at least $10 each. Mr. Skells also suggested that the traditional board fence which now surrounds Dom's and many other salvage yards serves a better purpose both for screening and keeping trespassers out. He stated that a chain link fence is much easier for unwanted persons to climb over as it provides hand and foot holds which a straight board fence does not. The salvage yard operators are also objecting to the requirement of an unused strip of land between the tree screening and the fence line. They claim that at the cost of land today, it is necessary to make use of their whole property for storage. An additional matter which Mr. Skells brought to the attention of the committee is the requirement of the bylaw to allow one parking space for each acre of land occupied by the salvage yard. The solicitor fails to see the relationship between the size of the yard and the require- ment for parking spaces. He explained that Dom's do have some customers coming in privately to purchase parts but that the majority of their business involves delivery of parts to others. In that way they would not require matching ,their 57 acres of property with 57 parking spaces. Mr. Skells admitted that the appearanceof such businesses is not the most attractive but insisted that tbey are essential like to see even more of the same sort of scheme tried next year. "A broader outlook helps, especially when you're not sure what you want to do." She's taking a general program at B.H.S. because she can't quite decide between teaching, nursing and a legal secretary's course, though after Careers Week, she's leaning toward the latter choice. Erin was relieved td, find out that she can pick up all the necessary secretarial skills in a post-high school program. More Next Year Surprisingly, many of the guest speakers tbemselves got into their present careers in a roundabout way. Social work- er Mary Attersley started off as a nurse, and Helen Fig- gures gave journalism a try before settling on a career as a dental assistant. Others overcame parental preferences. Saxophonist Paul Brodie, wo gave a seminar on the Arts, said tbat bis parents wanted him to be a lawyer, but he had his sights set on becoming a musician. His hard work and ambition paid off because he's now one of the world's leading saxo- phonists. Finally, a word from Grade 1 student Jan Kozak. "Though the seminars were definitely beneficial, I was disappointed that we could onlysign up-for three sessions, and I wish that some of them could have been longer." If David Scbwalm and bis guidance staff bow to popular demand, they'll be busy next January preparing for Car- eers Week '77. Waverley Assn Euchre Tonight Tonight is the Waverley Community Association's Eucbre Nigbt at the Port Darlington Marina Hotel, the evening begins at 8:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. On Saturday, April 10, many children enjoyed movies at the Bowmanville Public Library at 1:30 p.m. The Waverley Community Association welcomes every- one to celebrate Spring at their April dance.

Burned Woman (From Page One) probing the bùrned home for clues as to exactly how the explosion was ignited. According to Chief Hayman, there are two apparent possi- bilities, either ignition of the gasoline allegedly spread throughout the home by Mrs. King or ignition of the fumes by the furnace. Chief Hayman explained that the furnace is believed to have been running at the time of the explosion as it blew the duct work apart. The chief advised this morn- ing that the fire marshall's representative has found an apparent cause but as yet bas made no official statement and final confirmation is pending conversation with Mr. and Mrs. King. According to Superinten- dent Powell, Mrs. King was apparently in a depressed state due to family problems, specifically an argument that had taken place earlier that day. Busy Week (From Page One) Village Chief Fred Glanville reports the brush was being burned on the property owned by Bob Simpson and got out of control, with the result that the drive shed attached to the barn was ignited. Chief Glanville advised there is no value placed on the burned structure as plans were to tear it down anyway. At 3:13 p.m. on April 7, Bowmanville firemen were dispatched to another grass in our society today and asked that council not impose such harsh restrictions. He stated that his clients could live with the majority of the bylaw's intentions but that he felt whoever was respons- ible for drafting it "wasn't being realistic." One operator who is starting a new yard admitted that he is in a different position with respect to the requirements but would like to see the fencing and screening by trees left as an "Either-or" option. He also felt the eight foot height was unrealistic as it exceeds the height of fencing used by the Department of Highways. The general feeling among the yard operators Monday seemed to be that individual agreements should be worked out with each situation as not all are in the same boat. As one operator explained, he already has a bush area screening part of his property so why should those trees be cut down to replant those required by the bylaw along DN 'S Only $2000 with fencing. Coun. Don Allin, chairman of the committee agreed that what applies to one yard does not necessarily apply to another, and concurred with a suggestion of Clerk Joe Mcllroy that a type of site p- for each yard seems to bc necessity. It is probable now that the bylaw will be passed with the addition of a clause that allows council to grant certain exemptions when accompan- ied by a covering agree'nent by the owners.
