2 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, January 30, 1985 Christian Youth Centre Will Open in Whiz Plant A new Christian youth centre will be opening its doors in a renovated portion of the former R.M. Hol- lingshead factory in Bowmanville during February. Son Rise Christian Ministries announced announced last week that it will be renovating 6,000 square feet of space for the youth centre at the former chemical factory. The non-profit Centre, which will be known as "The Factory", will offer teens a wide range of services. It will include a coffee house recreational recreational centre, films and videos, counselling services, drug re-, habilitiation, student employment services, a crisis centre and many other programs. "There isn't anything like this, to my knowledge, in the Durham Region," Region," said Barry Reilly, director of the facility. Mr. Reilly explained that the centre is intended to promote a healthy, Christian lifestyle. Social service agencies do a fine job, he added. However, he noted that publicly-funded publicly-funded institutions do not deal with spiritual dimension to life. "Our perspective is a Christian one," he said. Son Rise Ministries is an interdenominational interdenominational organization made up of individuals from numerous local churches. it FIRE EMERGENCY 99 PHONE NUMBERS Town of Newcastle Fire Department For Areas: Bowmanville Courtice Hampton Enniskillen Burketon For Areas: Newcastle Orono Kendal Newtonville Mosport Clarke Township 623-9111 983-9111 For areas within the Town of Newcastle, where long distance charges apply to call the Fire Department: Call the Operator and ask for Zenith 91111 Emergency Fire Telephone Stickers are available from any Town of Newcastle Fire Department member.

To begin, the project will be staffed staffed entirely by volunteers. "I'm looking right now at a staff of 20 to 25," said Mr. Reilly. Future plans call for the purchasing purchasing of a satellite dish and large projection projection television screen, media and sound equipment, restaurant and snack bar furniture and other equipment and games. With tables and chairs, the centre offers restaurant facilities for between between 80 and 100 young people. It could seat 250 to 300 for a concert. The centre will also include about 1,000 square feet of office space. During February, the facility will be operating on a reduced schedule, but programs are expected expected to expand in March. In a news release last week, the sponsors noted that the Bowmanville Bowmanville project co-incides with the United Nations' designation of 1985 as International Youth Year. The announcement added that the new facility "is determined to provide clearly visible Christian alternatives alternatives to abortion, suicide, drugs, and the despair and loneliness loneliness facing teenagers in our modern modern society." It was a mother's natural instinct that saved Paul Rademacher from his death. The youngster, born with a serious heart defect, would have died if mother Heather hadn't insisted there was something wrong with her son. Today, Paul (pictured here with his Mom) knows he's happy to be alive. have survived through the followed my instincts to night," said Mr. have him examined." Rademacher. "I'm so glad I With no previous history by Catherine Denny It was a mother's natural instinct that ultimately saved six-day-old Paul Rademacher from death. Born with an undetected heart defect, young Paul would have died if his mother Heather hadn't insisted insisted something was wrong with her child. "His breathing pattern was not normal," explained Mrs. Rademacher. "Paul's breaths were short and quick and his heart beat sounded more like a thump- swish rather than a thump- thump," she added. Heather went on to explain explain that in 1 a thorough examination of the baby which she and her husband requested before their departure departure to Bowmanville, doctors discovered that Paul was afflicted with a serious heart disorder, a coarctation of the aorta. After the diagnosis was made, Paul was immediately immediately transfered to Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto where he underwent underwent closed heart surgery. "If we would have taken the baby home, he wouldn't of heart defects in their family, the young couple was completely "unfamiliar with the technical jargon used by heart specialists and the underlying implications implications of the disease. "We had a lot of reading and studying to do before we understood what was really really going on with our son," Heather explained. Like most people, until their son was born, the Rademacher's were under the distinct impression that heart disease only struck the older people in society and as such wouldn't be a threat until much later in their life. Now, having learned more about the subject, the Bowmanville couple realize that it is not uncommon uncommon for infants, even at six- days-old, to contract a heart disorder, and that heart troubles don't necessarily mean permanent damage. Although Paul later had to receive another operation operation to remove a developing subaortic membrane around the heart, he quickly recovered to resume resume his natural role as the most energetic kid on the block. Today the fiv.e-year-old boy is attending kindergarten kindergarten classes at Ontario Street Public School with the other children in his neighbourhood neighbourhood and, like a typical boy, refuses to be excluded from school-yard games. Aside from the fact that Paul well remembers his second operation which took place in June 1984, and is able to recount the procedure procedure term for term, Paul is as happy and normal as they come. In fact, the only constant reminder of the little guy's encounter with death are the two scars that remain intact on his chest and his back; a small price to pay for the precious life gained.
