So far, more than 25 youngsters have registered as club members and the numbers are expected to increase as the summer progresses. banner passant real estate limited 161 King Street Eeit, Bowmanville Member Broker 623-6121 House of the Week by Catherine Denny There is an odd looking tree growing inside of the Bowmanville Public Library Library and it's growing.notic- ably bigger every day. It is a rare species known as a "Book Review Tree". It doesn't need much sun, and water would only spoil the imitation green leaves. The somewhat ridiculous-looking ridiculous-looking flora just sprouted its roots last Thursday afternoon. That's when the library's book trek club began writing book reviews reviews and pinning them on a make-believe tree. To make the tree grow, all you have to do (aside from becoming a member of the book club) is read a book, write down your comments on a paper leaf and pin it up among the other leaves on the tree. For the next six weeks the tree will be developing at rapid pace as the membership membership increases. The club, taught by Linda Taylor from the Bowmanville Bowmanville Library, is much more than just a study of novels and children's books, it's an hour and a half of fun. Each Thursday afternoon from 2 until 3:30 there will be, aside from shelf searching, searching, quizes, games, prizes, films, and occasional visits to local spots of interest. This week, the theme of the day will be animal stories. Next week the focus could be placed on anything from adventure to mystery to humour stories. "The club is geared toward children who already know how to read," explained club co-ordinator Linda Taylor. "We help the children children select the books that are right for them whether it's an easy-reader or an adult fiction book, but they must have some reading capabilities," she added. Of course the activities that will be held at the library library will not be limited to a specific schedule of events but open to suggestion suggestion from all club members. "The kids come here to have fun, not to be ordered about," explained Linda. "This is the kid's club and if they want to do something special then that's what we'll do." At present there are 25 members, from grade three and up, partaking in club events. Registration is still being held for all kids who would like to learn more about books and the library while making new friends. __ > VA nvtuo WllliC lllcumig I1UW II J Obituary New Town Flag Planned RS.

The committee voted Monday to start work on the creation of a Town of Newcastle flag. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard introduced the idea when he presented presented a resolution directing the town's planning staff to bring forward forward ideas for the Town of Newcastle Newcastle standard. Mayor Rickard suggested that the town crest and the apple-blossom be used in the design. Proposals for a possible Town of Newcastle flag will be forwarded to the committee some time in September. September. At that time, councillors hope to choose from a number of possible designs and colors. New Fire Numbers Possible The town's fire department is planning to introduce uniform fire emergency numbers for the Town of Newcastle this fall. Plans for the change in emergency phone numbers were outlined Monday at a meeting of the town's general purpose and administration administration committee. In a written report to the committee, committee, Chief Jim Aldridge explained "" * that there would be two emergency':.'" numbers instead of three and that each number would end with the digits 9111. A toll-free Zenith number would be established for a few areas outside outside the town's most common telephone telephone exchanges. The general purpose and administration administration committee agreed Monday to recommend that council approve the alterations in the emergency phone numbers at a cost which is estimated at $2,500. Chief Aldridge said the largest share of the cost would be in the form of a public information program program to inform the public of the ihanges., - ,. - The fire chief suggests that the new numbers could be introduced in early October in conjunction" with Fire Prevention Week. Meanwhile, all of the old tele- - phone numbers will remain in effect. effect. Councillor Objects to Fines Persons found guilty of violating the Town of Newcastle's Newcastle's new comprehensive comprehensive zoning by-law could face fines as high as $20,000, while corporations would have a maximum fine of $50,000. These penalties were too high for Bowmanville councillor councillor Ivan Hobbs who said: "I have never in my lifetime seen a penalty on a by-law as great as I am seeing before before me today." Planning Director Terry Edwards noted that the size of the fine depends on how seriously council wishes to take the new by-law. But he added that they co-incide with penalties contained in the provincial Planning Act. The town's chief administrator administrator pointed out that the actual amount of any penalty penalty would be at the discretion discretion of the judge. He added that, in the past, municipalities municipalities found maximum fines of $1,000 were only regarded regarded by some offenders as a cost of doing business. Minor changes in the zoning zoning by-law were being dis cussed by the town's general general purpose and administration administration committee on Monday. Monday. However, the entire document will not be given council's stamp of approval until it has been scrutinized at a public meeting slated for September. ii KRAC0 f f Registered Builder of Carpentry & Contracting Newcastle 987-5400 ^SS^Sffv VpNOGRAM Custom built homes nüÉKf and |Rr2QOOI general carpentry * SUPER ENERGY EFFICIENT HOME BUILDER WWnjIlflllKUlC, u Uljr 1 0| School Board Study TTrrvm Porto Ann From Page One board study its implications. Funding for schools is done on a per student grant basis, so if students students are drawn away from a public board to attend a separate school the public board loses provincial money. This is the position the Northumberland and Newcastle board would find itself in if the Peterborough - Victoria - Northumberland Northumberland - Newcastle Separate School Board started to open up senior secondary schools in the jurisdiction. Retiring Director of Education Doug Sifton, making what were his last comments to the board, agreed with many trustees that the full separate school funding decision was not a good thing, amounting to "a socially retrograde step" on the part of the provincial government. In the past, Ontario's separate schools have been funded by the province at the elementary and junior secondary levels. The new scheme means all the grades will receive full funding. This has raised questions province-wide about enrolments in the public high schools, as students will be drawn off to attend the new separate high schools. As well, several trustees felt because Roman Catholic students students could now attend separate schools through all grades this would increase the amount of segregation in the education system. system. Vice-chairman of the board, Col- borne's John Carter, said many trustees felt "betrayed" by the province's province's surprise announcement in June. "I feel there is a time as (students) (students) grow up to bring people together, together, rather than keeping them apart," Mr. Carter said. Mr. Sifton said religion was not really at issue, and that religious harmony was the reality in both separate and public school systems, systems, with Roman Catholic students students attending public schools and vice versa. He said, however, that the new provincial funding formula threatened to "fragment" the school system. "What (the province is) doing is accelerating by 10 to 20 per cent the declining enrolment that we know already," he said, adding adding that if such fragmentation continues continues to occur it will undermine the board's ability to provide edu cation at a reasonable cost. Only two trustees opposed the resolution resolution to implement the study, Mr. Creighton and Bowmanville trustee Hal McKnight. Eastern Area Superintendent John Cowing, standing in as director director for part of the holiday period at the board, said Monday the study will examine three areas: enrolment, enrolment, accommodation and staffing. "The board has asked the administration administration to get out their crystal ball and take a look at the implications" of the provincial decision. He said the study will try and look five years down the line; possible school or classroom closures and teacher lay-offs because of dropping enrolments enrolments will be considered in the report. report. For the sake of study, he said it is assumed one or more separate senior secondary schools would be opening in the area. Mr. Gowing said the report would be put before the trustees in late September or early October. The board will then ,decide what further action to take. BMHA Receives $100 from Town For Tournament Bowmanville Minor Hockey Association Association has asked for a donation of $100 from the Town of Newcastle in order to run a top-calibre pee wee hockey tournament this Christmas. Christmas. "It's going to be a tournament that, we hope, will attract more of the elite teams," said Bruce Lush, a representative of the BMHA who presented the group's request to members of council on Monday. The tournament, which would be held the weekend between Christmas Christmas and New Year's, would attract teams from New York State and Michigan as well as hockey clubs throughout Ontario. Mr. Lush explained that the grant sought by the BMHA would help to pay for trophies representing the , Town of Newcastle. The committee recommended that the donation towards the tournament tournament be approved. That suggestion suggestion will go to town council for final approval next week.
