,,Qssona1 Potter Attempts Many Crafts Sharon Brittain of Bowmanville demonstrated the old-time art of spinning at the Orona Fair. Sharon is ralso a prof essional potter who also paints. She says she has an interest in learning things "from the roots r fBy Lynne Ainsworth If you want to learn to do something, find the person in your chosen field and learn from him or her. These words -of wisdom corne not from an rancient Chinese proverb but from a young Bowmanville woman who, practices what she preaches. Sharon Brittain has done just that. Between her career as a grade school teacher and motherhood she has become an accomplished potter selling rher work locally. She also learned to paint and recently k to spinning. Although she admt she stll has a great deal to learn, this mother of two is years ahead of the raverage person.

Everywhere one turns there are samples of her latest achievement, whether it be a painting hanging in a, back room, a cushion on a chair or a set of handmade dishes on her kitchen table. _" 1"I have a great interest in learning from the roots up," says Sharon. "It's nice to know I can be seif-sufficient. " After the birth of her first child eight years ago, Sharon decided to give up teaching and concentrate on her family. Always having had an interest in art she now had time to try out various mediums and find the right one for her. Gradually her interests have focused on pottery. After an introductary course in pottery taught by Mary Doezema of the Visual Arts Centre Sharon knew this was what she had an aptitude for. Professional Potter The course was two years ago. Today Sharon is a professional potter with a complete studio in her home, but the learning has not stopped.,,Any opportunity she gets to attend an advancement course on pottery is taken. This summer she travelled to Michigan for an advanced workshop with Mary Doezemna. "First, you learn to be a good functional potter, doing teapots and such, then you can apply your skills artistically," says Sharon. Now that her children are attending school Sharon has more time to concentratje on her craft. There should be a big difference in my work in the next year, admits Sharon. "I'm a traditional person, and I ike to, do traditional pieces," she says. Tradition Tradition appears to play an important part in her ife. Dressed in a long gown, with a shawl and her hair up in a bun Sharon looks like a pîcture from the past. Completing the image is a spinning wheel. "Spinning is much ike watching television, it's relaxing but it can be 50 boring," says Sharon. BillClarke is Candidate for Regional Post Ward Three has another candidatethis year in the race for a regional council seat. Bihl Clarke, .a,. 57-year-old Newtonville-area resident, will run for the regional council position. He says he will make the job his full-time occupation if elected this November. "A - regional councillor has a full-time job," he said. In an interview hast week, Mr. Clarke, said he behieves a councillor has to have a capacity for hard work and an ability to cope with the complexities of a modern municipal system. One of his goals as a regional, representative will be to spruce up theý downtown areas of Newcastle Village and Orono.

Mr. Clarke said he also favors a better deal for senior citizens. "I think there has to be more attention given to. our senior citizens," he told the Statesman. As an example, the ward three candidate suggested that seniors groups which rent local community halls could be subsidîzed by the municipality. Mr. Clarke also says he is concerned about the minimum lot size required to build new homes in the country. He said he understands that the minimum size for lots is 40 acres and that this size could be increased to 100. "I don't know why a family who wants to locate in the country has to purchase 40 acres for a homestead," he said. He suggested that some poor agricultural land in rural areas would actually be better-suited for housing purposes. He indicated that it's unfortunate that some good farmland is being used for development. Another issue mentioned by Mr. Clarke was the dlean- ing-up of the tax assessment throughout the Town of Newcastle. Bill Clarke is a retired teacher who taught in Oshawa for 25 years. He is married with four children and lives on the Victoria Park Farmn east of Newtonville. Bill Clarke is chairman of the St. John's Ambulance in the Durham Region. He is a member of the Town of Newcastle's committee of adjustment and a third vice- president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 178. He is also a member of the advisory board of St. George's Church in Newcastle Village. Mr. Clarke ran in Ward Three two years ago and lost to incumbent Ted Woodyard by just over 100 votes.

Inmates from institutions in Whitby and Cobourg did maintenance work at various schools throughout the area including Ontario Street Public School and Central Public School in Bowmanville. Trustee, Mrs. S.D. Parker, praised work done at a Cobourg school she lives near and, the board endorsed her recommendation that a letter of appreciation be sent to the inmates and a copy to the Ministry of Correctional Services. A report to the board said these institutions combined provided approximately 1,600 man hours of labour by inmates and 420 hours of guard supervision. "The Board of Education has prwvided approimately- 165 manl hours in supervision and labour," the report stated. The material cost to the board including paint, brushes, rollers, wipers, cleaners and travel was estimated at $1,275. "The work program was generally commended by adjoining property owners. The school grounds have an improved and cleaner appearance. There have been no incidents or significant problems related to the program," the report concluded.
