2 TMe Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 7, 1979 BlockiParents .From Page One the Block Parent program. The Durham Regional Police Safety Officer does this to some extent, said Mrs. Siocomrbe, but because of the large area hie must cover in a year, lie isn't able to visit every school on a regular basis. He also has several topics related to safety lie must cover with the children. Three Committees Currently, only three schools in the town have successfully operat- ing Block Parent committees. These are Central Public, Vincent Massey and Hampton Junior Public School. St. Stephen's and St. Joseph's are in the organizational stages of forming commîttees. Members Dwindle People are also needed to man the town's central Block Parent committee, said Mrs. Slocombe. It started out with 12 volunteer members but the number has dwindled to four. The Central Committee is respon- sible for organizinq school commit- tees and providing them with supplies. However, it has had to do much more than this because there are so few volunteers at the sehool committee level. "Ail I should have to do is oversee the whole program and make sure everyone is doing their respective jobs. You get frustra ted at times because every- thing seems to pile up on you. If everyone took a turn it would be 50 mucli easier," she said. Mrs. Slocombe stated in January's newsletter that the next general meeting of Block Parents wi¶1 b e in May and if a sufficient number of volunteers have not come forward by then, the program will have to be aandoned. "When you've put s0 mucli effort into the program you hate to just say that's it, said Mrs. Siocombe, "but I feit I had to push the issue." Since the newsletter's hint that the programi may end, only seven more people have volunteered their services to Block Parent ranks. "lEven the threat of collapse has not brought forth many volunteers," said an amazed Mrs. Siocombe. She has noticed that the greatest apathy is among people w ho have aIways lived here. "This communi- ty, particularly in downtown Bowmanville tends to think nothing terrible could ever happen to the children on their way to school. If by chance it did, a child1 would know where to g o because they know al their neighbors." But she pointed out, children from the Waverley subdivision are walking downtown to school "where they don't know a soul." In fact, she said, an incident occurred not too long ago where a child had to go to a Block Parent home because hle had been hurt by an older kid. Need la There People who live in the subdivisions seem to be more concerned Block Parents, she noted, because most of them come from bigger cities and know the need for the program is there. "No one is suggesting the streets in Newcastle are not safe to walk on. They are safe - we just want to keep them that way." A meeting for new volunteers is being held tonight (March 7) at 8 p.m. in Courtroom No. 2 in the Police' Building on Church Street 'and anyone interested in voiunteering their time and talents to the Block Parent program is urged to phone Janet Slocombe at 623-4278 or Laura Robichaud at 623-6522. Local Man Wins Legion 's $1,500 The 2nd series of manthly draws were made at the, Ladies Auxilîary Bingo in the Legion Hall an Wednesday, February 28th, 1979 about 7:45 p.m. In the absence af the chairman, Pres. Ran Richards was in charge of the draw, with the follawing winners declared after ticket numbers were drawn: ist prize - $1500.00 Bob Scott, 116 Queen Street, Bowmanville; 2nd prize - $500.00 Bruce Fitzgibbon, 4 St. George St., Bawmanville; 3rd prize - $250.00 Darothy Richards, 10 Sauthway Dr., Bowmanville, 4th prize - $150.00 Bella Falls, 18 Fran St., Bawmanville, th prize - $100.00 Leon Wright, Galway Road, Kinmount. Tickets Br. 178 had hoped ta seli 1250 an the 1979 lottery with the proceeds being used ta, contin- ue the, active program of Branch 178 in suppartîng ahl charitable arganizatians, and worthy prajects in the com- munity and the surrounding area, as well as supporting youth sparts, youth activities and giving 3 annual schalar- shîps in the area High Schaals ta assist students ta further their education. During 1978, donations af $2500 were given ta each of the arena prajects - Newcastle, Orona and Man- vers community centre. Pro- ceeds of the 1978 lttery show- ed total donations of $15,896.81 but unfortunately the figures were nat as high as project- ed because some 450 tickets were nat sold. In the 1979 lottery it is necessary ta seli 625 tickets ta break even with the prizes of $30,000, the $600.00 lottery licence cast, printing of tickets, advertising, etc. To date anly 584 tickets have been sold, which is about one third the number of tickets sold last year. It would be great if Br. 178 coud make a profit by thiemselves, but it is essential that they have the support of the community and surround- ing area in arder that they can continue ta support worthy pragrams. We, of Branch 178 need the help of everyone ta carry out aur job of service ta the cammunity. Proceeds of lotteries are given bnck ta the cammunity and surraunding area, but if there are no profits left after costs, then it will be necessary for us ta cut down an aur support. Tickets are being reduced at the rate of $4.00 per month, and there are approximately 900 tickets purchasers less than aur 1978 project. We cut tickets accordingly, but we still have 666 tickets lef t at the time of going ta press. Tickets for the month of March seIl at $42.00 and will reduce monthly until July when they will seli at $26.00 for the balance of the year. Get your ticket now, or purchase a second ticket at the price of $42.00 ta help aur branch do a job for aur community. F rank St. Drain Problem A preliminary engineering study of the draina ge on Frank Street in Bowmanville as been recommend- ed for council by the town's public works committee. The committee lias had several complaints from Frank Street residents about flooding on their lots caused by water draining off nearby properties. Town Manager Albert Guiler told committee members this problem lias been in existence for some time now. He said drainage on Frank Street is the municipality's responsi- biity but, a method of bac k lot drainage must be paid for by tlie residents. One of the residents most severely affected by the flooding, Mrs. Gary Pickard of 24 Frank St., showed committee members some of the debris whicli came to rest on lier back yard following the recent fire and brouglit there by a river of water. She said tliere is s0 mucli water in lier yard that lier chldren can't play there. Water pours in the basement windows to such an extent that she lias liad to rip out lier carpet downstairs. Because of flooding, the downstairs bedroom can't be used and the house can't be sold, she said. "Public Healtli las been over, sliook their lieads and said plione a lawyer. I'd like to get someone to condemn the area - it's coming to that," warned Mrs. Pickard. Councillor- Jasper Holliday told Mrs. Pickard lie is in sympathy witli lier pliglit but the committee and council have to tread carefully and make sure tliey don't create too many precedents. He assured lier the committee is looking for an adéquate solution to the problem. Completes Pilot'Train ing Second-Lieutenant (2Lt) D.W. Polak, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

The opening game was Bowmanville's ail the way as, they won 10 - 3. At the end of the first period the score was a tie 1 - 1. Scoring for the Toros was Cory Sweet with Chris Beck getting the assist. In the second period the Toros scored three quick goals to put the game out of reach for the visitors. Larry Perris scored two goals and Cory Sweet one. Gaining assists were Paul Stainton, Cory Sweet, Kelly Armstrong and Chris Beck. In the third period Bay Ridges scored twice but the Toros added six goals ta put the first game in the local boys' favour. Scoring for the Toros were Shawn Rekker (2), Barry Oliver, Brian Noble (2), and David Fairey. Gaining assists were Larry Perris and Michael Houston. Playing a strong game for the Toros were Larry Perris, Mike Gallant and Paul Stainton. In the second game the Toros travelled to Bay Ridges very confident they would win and were handed a 2 - 1 defeat. The Toros neyer really were in this game and if it hadn't been for David Smith, the goalie, the score would have been much higher. The first period remained scoreless and the second period remained that way until the dying seconds when the Bay Ridges team scored. In the third period Bowman- ville scored but it was too late to win the game then. Cory Sweet scored fromn Chris Beck and Larry Perris. The third gamne proved to be a real battle. The Toros lost it 1 - 0 in Bowmanville. The Ridges really wanted to win this game and fought all the way. The only scoring was done in the second period. Playing strong for the Toros were Chiris Beck, Kelly Armstrong and Cory Sweet who were just unable to put the puck behind the goalie. In the fourth game the Toros realized their backs were against the wall and travelled to Bay Ridges to win the game to force the final game in Bowmanville.
