New Stars Arrive At Bowmanville Zoo Company's Expansion is Approved , Preston Transport! Limited Limited will be allowed tiitex- pand their buildings without without the dedication of a road widening allowance normally normally required under Town policy. That was the decision of Newcastle's town council this week. The company, which is located located on Baseline Road in Bowmanville, applied in March for a building permit to increase their present 10,000 square feet of building building space to 18,000 square feet, for the construction of a warehouse. Under Town policy, staff requested that the proposed proposed site plan agreement include the allowance for a ten foot road widening allowance allowance along the north side of Baseline Road. Town councillors voted against the staff proposal after much debate at the council meeting earlier this week. The land in question is part of Preston Transport's yard and has a chain link fence. The company does not wish to pay for removal and re-installation of the fence, and claims that the yard won't be feasible if they have to dedicate the land.

Bowmanville Zoo has aquired the six-year-old African African elephant, not only for the pleasure of visitors to the zoo, but as a basis for future breeding. Mike Hackenberger, one of Angus' trainers, and a very talented addition to the zoo staff, says that Angus will soon, have a mate. A female African elephant will be arriving this week to help keep Angus company. Angus, who was born in Mozambique, Africa, recently recently joined the zoo crew from the Quebec City Zoo, where he jjad,lived for five years! '* Recent Graduate Though treated very well during his stay there, the Quebec City Zoo just didn't have the facilities to keep Angus. Hence, his welcome arrival in Bowmanville. Presently, Angus is being trained as part of the animal animal shows which Mike hopes will be underway in July. "We want to educate the public," said Mike. "Many animals are becoming becoming endangered, the African African elephant among them," he added. Mike envisions a show that will eventually incorporate incorporate audio-visual effects and laser technology. "The type of animal show that everyone is used to has been around for 200 years," he explained. "We want the animals to be the star." When Angus is really feeling feeling friendly, he can be persuaded persuaded to give rides to all willing visitors. The proceeds proceeds from the rides will be used to build an elephant breeding compound. As Mike says, Angus is really working for himself. "If the people come, and we're able to provide Angus with a better life, than he is really working for himself," said Mike. After seeing Angus, it's doubtful that he'd want it any other way.
