2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, July 21, 1976 Costly Arena (From Page One) and weakened by as much as 20 per cent. The engineering report states that the 50-year-old arena could be unsafe with an unbalanced load of snow on its roof. In the Bowmanville arena, new timbers are needed. This material would be added to the roof supports in order to give the building more, strength. The cost of the work was estimated at between $45,000 and $60,000 Mr. Short said there would be a time when the arena's essential activities would have to be stopped if repairs were carried out while the building was in use.. ek He said the length of time the building would be out of service would depend on such things as the size of the repair crew. However, the engineer estimated that three weeks to one montb would be lost at the Bowmanville arena. Mr; Short explained that some kind of staging would have to be used so that repair crews could get to the higher parts of the roof. The arena that came through the inspection with the best bill of health was the one- in Newcastle. "There's not really much to be done in Newcastle, Mr. Short said. The report prepared by his company indicated that be- tween $8,000 and $10,000 would be needed to bring the facilities up to building code standards. Good Order Of the three arenas studied, the one in Newcastle was the newest. It was built around 1950. "Carpentry, workman- ship, fitting and details all appear to be of good order," the report said.1 The Leighton and Kidd report will now be sent to the Ministry of Labour, the pro- vincial body responsible for checking arenas. But the report on the Orono arena will not be sent to the provincial government by the Town of Newcastle because the council decided that the Orono arena wasn't a mun- icipal responsibility. Although the town bas used the Orono area facilities in the past, the building is not controlled by the Town of Newcastle. Councillor Ken Lyall said at the Monday council meeting that the Orono arena is "none of our legalbusiness." Full Cooperation The section of the Leighton and Kidd report dealing with the Orono arena will be given to the arena owners and it will be their responsibility to deal with the report. According to a council resolution passed Monday, the owners will be given the full co-operation of council and the director of Parks and Recreation. In other action taken by council, it was decided that two pieces of correspondence dealing with the arenas be Men's Soft Tim's Rent-all hold a one- half game lead over Kramp's Furniture after playing four contests each last week at Memorial Park.

The first was a memo from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation. t stated that' funds for the arenas are available through both the Community Recreation Centres Act and the Share Wintario Program. The Recreation Centres Act says that grants of up to 25 per cent of the cost of arena repairs or replacements are available. Such grants can be worth up to $75,000. Under the Wintario pro- gram, matching grantscan be provided to cover one haîf of whatever sum of money remains. The Leighton and Kidd engineeringstudy was com- missioned by the Town of Newcastle and arena inspec- tions were carried out late last month and early in July. The inspections are part of provincial government regu- lations that require all arenas to meet certain building code standards. Arenas not meeting the standards must be brought up to standard or closed. iaIL League Team Standings (As of July 18) GP Team W L GB Tims 15 Rent-All 10 5 Kramps 16 Furniture 10 6 2 Franks 16 Variety 7 8 3 Stephens 15 Fuels 6 9 4 D &R 15 Sports 5 10 5 N.B.: Stephens won June 29th's protested game over Franks by default.

A former Orono verterin- arian presented a petit point picture to the University of Guelph during the Ontario Veterinary College Alumni Convention held there June 17-19. Dr. W.W. Sherwin, a veterinarian in the Orono area from 1940 to 1951 now living in Nampa, Idaho gave the uni- versity a 56 in. by 48 in. picture done in petit point.

Officials representing Dur- ham region including MP Allan Lawrence, Regional Council Chairman Walter Beath and MPP Doug Moffatt were also in attendance. Some of the visiting digni- taries were given the re- sponsibility of choosing Miss Bowmanville Week while Mr. Moffatt served as emcee in the competition.

Jaycee Dave Madden and guitarist and singer Harry Simpson followed them with a couple of folk songs. Later more singers and guitarists showed up to dis- play hidden talent to the town. Tuesday night's square dancing wasn't too successful because of the rain. The musicians played for some time while protecting them- selves under the awning at Ken's Men's Wear, but eventually gave up and called it off. About 25 people were present. Special Study (From Page One) highway 401 and about as far west as Maple Grove Road. Also included in the special study is land west of Durham Road 57. The decision to put the land la a special study area was made last Wednesday, follow- ing a series of motions at a meeting of the Regional Coun- cil. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard moved that land to the West of Martin Road be slated as it was on stage four of the region's draft official plan. That would have placed the lands in question in a perman- ent agricultural category. Mayor Rickard's motion passed following a tie vote that was broken by Regional Chairman, Walter Beath. Newcastle's regional coun- cil members were split on the issue, with Councillors Tink and Rickard voting in favor of the motion and Councillor Lyall and Hobbs voted a- gainst. Councillors Lyall and Hobbs had favored an industrial designation for the land in question. But, after the land had been earmarked for agriculture, planning and development committee chairman, Clark Mason, suggested the land be removed from permanent ag- riculture and placed in a finished it this year after spending a total of approx- imately 2000 hours of work on the project. The project was no easy task as Dr. Sherwin, with a bandaged thumb held up as proof, pointed out that there were 576 stitches to the square inch in the detailed silk picture. The picture, one of 200 that he has done as a petit point artist, contains over 75 water colors as well. special study area instead. He said he was concerned that the region was "nicely getting painted into a corner." He also said that with an agricultural label on the lands west of Bowmanville, you could almost forget about the land for 25 years. He said the agricultural designation would remainfor "one bang of a long time." Thehcouncillor moved to table the motion calling for agrirulturaI designation. Then, he moved to rescind the motion and finally, to place the lands west of Bowmanville in a special study area. The motions carried. The special study will ex- amine the desirability and feasibility of expanding the urban development in Bow- manville to the west. Council Gives (From Page One) if a tbreat to resig bysome members of the fire depart- ment will actually occur because of their decision. According to Councillor Vern Asselstine, the threats were made by only a few of the Caesarea firefighters and never gained wide support from other members of the fire department. Also facing threats of hav- ing legal action taken against "discriminatory" practices, Councillor Reg Rose said there were repercussions involved in either direction the council's decision took. 'If it is proven that the girls can't do the duties, then gtey'll have to go, but we cannot stand up and say no because we think they can't do it," Coun. Rose said. "It bas been recommended to us, and all the applicants have been properly tested and have met all the require- ments. How can we refuse?" The Fire Cbief's recom- mendation to hireftherthree women applicants came at the same time as a report on a municipal fire protection sur- vey was reieased by the Fire ýMarshal's office. The results of the survey done for the report, recom- mend basinghiring policies on the qualifications of all ap- plicants. On charges that the present hiring policies discriminate against women, ,the report states that "any qualified person" is eligible according to the bylaw regulating hiring principles. June RePort (From Page One) fewer units were being built but the units that were being built were of higher value. "We're quite active, almost on a par with last year," Mayor Rickard said. As of June 1975, permits for construction valued at $8,679, 702 bad been issued for tbe year. As of last month, building permits for '76 on construction valued at $8,095, 794 had been issued. During the month of 'June, 136 dwelling units were given permits. That's down from June 1975, when 233 permits were issued. The cost of building permits sold so far this year totals $35,927. While on a recent European vacation, he said a London art gallery asked him to allow the gallery to do a display of his art. But because he does the craft mainly as a hobby, Dr. Sherwin said he decided to turn the offer down. The recent visit with friends and relatives in Orono was his second trip back to his yometown since leaving 25 years ago. Port Hope Fil! (From Page One). According to Atomic Energy Control Board Information officer, Carl Mayhew, it meets the need for the management of radioactive waste on a safe, long term basis. The new site will be part of a $1.7 million dollar cleanup of Port Hope landfill. The clean- up is in its first stage now and is designed to get rid of Port James came second in the bigh jumip.
