Ministry Refuses Sign for Clarke Township Museum by Donna The" Clarke Township Museum and Archives, at Kirby, wants everyone everyone to know where they are and how to get there. But the Ministry of Transportation and Communications has refused the museum a road sign on highway 35/ 115, even though recent construction on the highway nas made access to the museum more difficult. "Prior to the expansion of the highway, highway, there was no problem," said Curator Curator Mark Jackman. Last year Clarke visitors numbered a record ,z 2,700, he said. Mr. Jackman and the museum requested requested posting of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications Communications blue and gold signs normally provided for tourist attractions. "If we can't have the signs, the Ministry should stop saying improve your tourist base,"said Mr. Jackman. Mr. Jackman and the museum staff launched an appeal following the Ministry's rejection of the sign request. request. "Basically, all we want is an exception exception to the rule. Historical sites are not considered a destination of the motoring public. Even if we were the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) sit- Kell ting here, we would be refused signs under the present designation," said Mr. Jackman. Mr. Jackman insisted the signs will alleviate confusion. "People have driven around looking for the museum. They miss the events and later call me up," said Mr. Jackman. The Ministry's present designation designation does not allow the Clarke Museum Museum to be classed as tourism property. property. Ski slopes, restaurants, rest areas and gas stations are given sign§ along the highway. A Ministry of Transportation and Communications letter addressed to the museum said: "Unfortunately the Clarke Museum does not qualify for signing on Highway 35/115 under the. present classification." "The public wants the signs. We'll fight this thing to the death," said Mr. Jackman. The Clarke Museum sent letters to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Travel and Tourism. If denied approval for the road signs again, Mark Jackman will launch a petition if necessary. Come join us at the celebration àf i- the; opening of our B I? x .

Ralph Pypker, owner of the Vanstone Mill, is seeking support for plans to restore the historic mill pond and dam which were a local landmark until they were washed away in a spring flood. Mr. Pypker believes that there's still the possibility that both can be re-built. He notes, however, that he will need the support of agencies such as the Town of Newcastle, the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, and the Ministry of Natural Resources in order order to see a mill pond restoration restoration project put into place. In addition, he's seeking a show of support from the citizens citizens themselves. That's why visitors to the mill and regular customers of the mill and health food shop are'being invited to sign a petition which reads as follows: "We, the undersigned, undersigned, believe that Vanstone Dam is an important part 1 of Bowmanville and its history. We therefore support all efforts efforts made to restore the dam and the mill pond." Mr. Pypker noted that he would hope to restore the pond in such a way that the western side of the creek could be developed as a public public park. He added that he currently currently has an engineer working on various possibilities for the restoration of the site. With a historic building dating back to 1846 at the entrance entrance to Bowmanville, Mr. Pypker believes that the site and the building itself have plenty of potential. Anyone wishing to sign the petition is invited to visit the mill, where copies of the document are available.
