Eleanor and Clifford Terrill are making plans for spending and saving the $245,095 windfall which they claimed this week as second prize in the June 25 Lottario. It's the third time that Cliff Terrill, a 58-year-old retired GM employee, has won a largè prize in a lottery. He previously received two $10,000 Wintario jackpots. By Peter Parrott Close to 2,000 readers of the Bowmanville Statesman and the Newcastle Independent say it's time the municipality changed its name to the Town of Bowmanville. After reviewing the results of a survey conducted by the Statesman and Independent last month, Newcastle council has agreed to consider this request. The mayor and municipal staff have been asked to investigate financial, administrative and other ramifications and make a report to council. • ,, ; ; ' : ■/ H, > VEC c. : Speaking on behalf of John James, editor-publisher of The Statesman, A1 Strike told council that the reaction to the survey conducted in two May issues of the papers was a surprise to the editor. "He was completely astounded by the response." The question posed by the newspapers was : Are you in favor of the municipality name Town of Newcastle being changed to Town of Bowmanville? To this question, 1,958 readers answered yes ; 95 said no. Most replies came from within the limits of the old Town of % ■ ! J Bowmanville, where 1,558 supported the name, and five were opposed. Responses also came from within the limits of the Town of Newcastle, but outside Bowmanville. Of these, 331 responses were in the affirmative and 89 were negative. From readers living outside the Town of Newcastle, there were 69 yeas and one nay. Mr. Strike told Newcastle council that the survey was not the result of any large-scale campaign. He added that about 300 replies were submitted by a few individuals who collected responses from friends and f neighbors on their own accord. "The balance of the questionnaires were received in the mail with a 32 cent stamp attached or from persons who took the trouble to drop them into the office," Mr. Strike pointed out in his presentation. There were two main reasons cited for preserving the Bowmanville name. First of all, the change would clear up confusion caused by the current name of the Town of Newcastle conflicting with Village of Newcastle.

For Clifford Terrill, the $245,095 prize was the biggest prize he's ever won. But the 58-year-old retired GM maintenance man is no stranger to the lottery winner's circle. In June of 1976, he collected a $10,000 prize in Wintario. And he followed that lucky streak with another $10,000 Wintario windfall in June of 1978. With Lady Luck paying a return visit Saturday, there seems little doubt that June is Cliff ,Terf ill's lucky month. It also happens tb be the month in which ms wife, Eleanor, celebrates her birthday. To celebrate, shé and her daughters, are looking forward to à shopping spree. Mr. Terrill thinks that an optimistic outlook will help bring good luck. "You've got to think positively, ' ' he insists. He also believes in playing the lottery regularly, even though there are disappointments. He estimates that he has been spending about $18 per week on the lottery and adds thàt he won back some of this amount in small prizes. He picks his Lottario numbers from a home-made system which consists of an empty peanut can and numbers from one to 39 scattered inside. When he checked his ticket early Sunday morning, he found that the peanut can had picked him a second- place jackpot. Naturally, his first reaction was disbelief. "I opened my wallet... I looked at the number ana said it can't be right," he said. Later, they checked the number at Mike's Place in Newcastle and at the smoke shop in the Bowmanville Mall where they bought the ticket. After that, they didn't let it out of their sight until they had claimed their cheque in Toronto. Cliff and Eleanor Terrill doubt that Lottario will change their lives very much. They joke about having enough money to b4iy a new wheelbarrow for Eleanor Terrill. It seems as though the old one she uses in the garden on their farm isn't working well and they never got around to buying a new one. In a more serious vein, the Terrills say that they will probably buy a new car, invest some of the money, and make some donations to charity. They also plan to share their winnings with their four children. The Terrills' children include Louise, who lives in Oshawa; Jay, who is in Edmonton; Donna, in British Columbia; and Brenda, who lives in Bowmanville. The couple also have six grandchildren. Cliff Terrill was born in Colborne Turn to Page 2 A recreation plan for the municipality municipality almost ignores the requirements requirements of Bowmanville's 400 soccer players, members of Newcastle council were told Monday. Mike Woodcock, president of the Bowmanville United Soccer Club, told council that the town's Recreation Recreation Master Plan should make provision provision for the restoration of old soccer soccer fields and the development of new ones.

For example, in describing the field used at the Pine Ridge Training Training School, Mr. Woodcock said; "It's a judgement call whether the weeds win or the grass wins." In other fields, there are patches of dead grass, uneven ground, aijd many other difficulties. The safely of players who u!se these fields is one of the concerns of the soccer club. "They are becoming unsafe," said Mr. Woodcock. Council was told Monday that two new fields are needed in Bowmanville Bowmanville and another field should be built in Newcastle. Complete renovations, renovations, including re-seeding and grading has been prescribed for many of the town's ailing soccer pitches. Dick Budel, vice president of Bowmanville United Soccer Club and head of the Newcastle Colts soccer organization, told town council that Newcastle Village has two soccer fields which are both in need of grading and other maintenance. maintenance. Of the eight schoolyards mentioned mentioned for upgrading in the Recreation Recreation Master Plan, only one is used i by soccer teams, Mr. Budel said. Council was told that soccer clubs took charge of recreational soccer in the Town of Newcastle from the community services department two years ago. " The philosophy of the club is to give all applicants an opportunity to play the sport, said Mr. Budel. About 750 soccer players are playing playing soccer in the Town of Newcastle this summer. ,jyA;4s-yei the Master Plan for recreation recreation is istill being considered by the Town of Newcastle.
