Staff Gets Ready To Re-locate SBy Donna Fairey As a resuit of the recent annauncement ta close Pine Ridge Schoi, Mr. Art Handiesman, sehoal super-' intendent, finds himseif in the same job limbo as the rest of the 92 employees at the schooi. Althaugh Mr. Handiesman admitted periods of transition are always hard on people, ho nevertheless agrees with the rationalo behind the decisian to close the school. The trend which ultimately playod a major raie in the school's closure started ned'rly two years aga, according ta Mr. Handiesman. The trend was the pravincial govern- ment's recognition that carrectional institutions were not the only available option in, the rehabilitation of juveniles. The government now leans ta warking these children back into the community in some sort of group home, foster home or special case-worker situation. At any rate, the Ministry has adopted the policy that cammunity involv- ed offers these kids the best chance of making it in today's society. Mr. Handiesman stated there has been a goneral down-swing in institutionaliza- tion in areas other than correctional services. For instance, ho said, mental institutions have been touched by the government's policy whereby a program ta fit patients into a community setting whenever possible has been implemented. "It makes more sense ta bring people ta the resources than ta bring resources ta the people," he said. There, of course, will always ho a need for a certain number of institutions since there are juveniles for whom an institu- tion is the only answer. Pine Ridge School is the oldest training school in Ontario and Mr. Handiesman has been superintendent for six years. The gavernment will offer employees, includ- ing Mr. Handiesman, alterna- tive employment which may Comm unity Ponders Alternate Uses for 9 5-Acre Turning a portion of Pine Ridge School property into a town cemetery is a more realistic move than having the cemetery expand inta industrial park land on the Baseline, according ta Mayor Garnet Rickard. At a "think tank" meeting spansored by the Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce Monday, a committee of the Chamber and Mayor Rickard met ta informally discuss the future of Pine Ridge School in relation ta the town. The provincial government is clos- ing the school on October 31, 1979. Members of the C. of C. committee were, Norman Webb, John Pague, Tony Brand, Charles Clarke and Bruce Colwell. Pine Ridge School as a possible site for a town cemetery was oniy one of many uses considered by the committee. A municipal headquarters, a recreation complex and a home for senior citizens were, other suggested uses for the school. And the Chamber of Commerce concluded its meeting with a recommenda- tion ta counéil that the possibility of the Town of Newcastle getting involved in 'the purchase of the Pine Ridge School be studied immediate- ly. Municipal-Use? The prime tapic of discus- sion was the feasibility of centralizing Town of Newcastle municipal offices in the existing buildings at Pine Ridge. Althaugh some committee members were in favor of such a move, athers were concerned with the effect a shif t of this nature wauld have on the downtown core. It was agreed that such a municipal complex would eliminate the fragmentation we now have with offices in For the Manderley Sod farm in your area, consuit the Yeltow Pages under - Sod Growers. Mandledey Sod 571-2272 Pope rty Hampton and several loca- tions in Bowmanville. One committee member, a downtown merchant, could not see the relocation of municipal offices on the out- skirts of town as having an, adverse effect on shopping whatsoever. There were committee members who disagreed and feit business and commerce should go hand-in-hand and it would bo a form of "downtown core suicide" ta remove them. "For administrative use, we could probably move into some of the buildings just as they are," stated Mayor Rickard, "but whether they are large enough is another question." "The buildings do have potential requiring very limited renovation," hie said. Mayor Rickard said it would certainly be advantageous ta have ail of the tawn's administrative services in one are-a so that a persan didn't have ta scratch his head and wonder what office was where. 60,000 Population "If we have any faith in ourselves at ahl, we should be planning now for a population of 60,000 people in the fore- seeable future," stated Mr. Rickard. One member suggested the possibility of using the Pine Ridge facility as a senior citizen complex. Many disagreed because the loca- tion is far from downtown shopping.' It was felt seniors need ta be able ta walk ta commercial. and business services. Pool Obsolote The acceptability of Pine Ridge School as a site for the SPLASH po1 pro ject was given verbal rein. Consensus was that the existing pool facility at Pine Ridge is totally obsolete as far as any present SPLASH plans are concerned. They did concur, however, the location itself was not prohibi- tive for the type of pool-squash court complex planned by SPLASH. Members of the committee noted also, Bowmanville arena is getting ta the point where a new arena and location will have ta be considered. General opinion was the town should proceed at once ta study the positive and noga- tive aspects of purchasing Pine Ridge Schooi and deter- mine what uses it would be best suited for, if any. "If council doesn't want ta. make a move toward Pine Ridge School, it's the ir bed and they will have ta lie in it" stated committee member Bruce Colwell. Council has apparently recognized the limitations of its municipal offices for some time, evidenced by the fact serious consideration was given ta purchasing the Honeyweil plant when it closed its doors. A $5 million cost was involved at that time. Following the clostire of the school, Council wili also have ta keep in mind alternative facilities will be required for gymnasium and poal usage the Recreation Department has been enjoying at the school, stated Mr. Colwell. Cost Unknown No purchase price has been placed on the school ta date but the high value of land was recognized at the meeting. Financing would, of course, be a major concern. Mayor Rickard stated the area of leasing should be explored ta avoid taking money from one public coffer and putting it into another. The nitty-gritty of the meet- ing was: "what would Pine Ridge School be best suited for in relation ta the town and can we afford it? " resuit in a shift ta another ministry or branch of the government and in most cases will involve relocation. Ail other factors being oqual, those employees with the most soniority stand the best chance of finding suitable and comparable employment, stated Mr. Handiesman. Some employees will ho absorbed at Brookside School in Cobourg. Brookside is within commut- ing distance and for some, would probably offer the most appeal since it would not involve uprooting a home. "Nobody hbas ta ho out of a job," ho said, but some will definitely have ta relocate. It will be harder ta place those people doing specialized work at the sehool, especially if thoy wish ta romain in the same field, saîd Mr. Handiesman.- Officiai closing date for the schooi is October 31, 1979. However, the process will be handied in phases which have already begun. ,The school is no longer accepting juveniles other than for court-ordered assessment purposes. The, enroiment at Pine Ridge will decrease gradually over the next few months and by September wo will have only, a handful of kids, stated Mr. Handiesman. Working toward final closure, the Ministry has alroady conducted the first phase in employee interviews ta establish a basis for future employmont relocation. The machinery which bas kept Pine Ridge School in motion for 54 yoars is slowly grinding ta a hait. With the school's closing cames the end of an era in Bowmanville's history. Mr. Handiesman said, ho hoped such a beautiful piece of property can ho utilized by the Town of Newcastle. Although Pine Ridge Sehool is closing in six months, business has flot slowed down in the Administration Building pictured. It is one of the original buildings constructed in 1925 when the sehool was known as the Bowmanville Training Sehool. Administration will be busy tending to the many details involving thé closing of any facility and the re-location of 92 employees. Pine Ridge Sehoot, though it has always maintained a relatively WW profile in relation to the community, will nevertheless be missed as a link in Bowmanville's history. The gates to Pine Ridge School will soon be closing, at least as a juvenile correctional institution. As a result of a trend toward in-community rehabilitation, many of the Ontario government's training sehools are being phased out. Sam Cureatz, M.P.P. stands at the entrance to the 95 acre property and ponders the yet undetermined future of the school. Nearly 100,000 people every year are loaked after by St. John Ambulance volunteers. These volunteers ease suffer- ing and fears, sometimes save lives, and save their commun- ities mono y by providing prompt and effective treat- ment.
