16 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, June 19,1991 Artist Displays Work at Administrative Centre Resource Centre Could Ease Mother's Concerns Dear Concerned and Loving Mother who cares. I am hearing you loud and clear, and if it is any comfort you are not alone in your concerns for the children children of this town. However, I don't think you need to win a lottery to right past mistakes mistakes and present inadequacies. inadequacies. Windfalls rely totally on chance and pass most of us by, childhood can't afford that kind of time. So, lets do something about it! Yes, you, me ana anyone else who 'cares enough" to get involved. This is not a save the world campaign, we are living in Newcastle, it's 1991 and right now a group of highly motivated citizens are work ing towards what some deem impossible -- The Newcastle Newcastle Family Resource Centre. Centre. To be located on Mill St. in the old MultiCare Centre it would house a multitude of structured programs for all ages of the community. Everyone in this community need to be nurtured and most importantly the future generations of Newcastle Village and its surrounding area. Imagine a place where a teenager could be taking a music course while mom learns about computers, father father and preschooler enjoy a craft and grandparents listen listen to a speaker. It can happen and it will happen. The" lottery ticket is in our hands, we just have to collectif collectif it doesn't happen then we have all failed; you, me, the politicians we elect, the government we vote into power, parents, grandparents, grandparents, groups, organizations, and schools, every living and breathing capable person in this town. We have failed to provide equal access to Knowledge and experience; in failing to support the Newcastle Family Resource Centre. I truly believe that children children learn by association. A town that cares for its children children will find that the child reciprocates in a similar fashion. Knowledge and experience experience are powerful tools, denying them, denies a future future for our children and similarly our town. I must exemplify the lives of Karen Kain - Prima Ballerina and Gordon Lightfoot - renowned Canadian vocalist. Like many famous Canadians they began their lives in towns not unlike Newcastle Village. Ms. Kain spent her early childhood in An caster (just outside Hamilton) and Mr. Lightfoot in Orillia (home of Stephen Leacock). The difference is that their careers stem from knowledge knowledge and experience that individuals individuals in their towns provided. provided. Karen's first dance lessons were taken in An- caster and Gordon's first appearances appearances were at the "Pa- villion" in Orillia. Not everyone can be a Prima Ballerina or a renowned renowned vocalist but they might be a mayor, a grandfather, grandfather, or a lawyer, secretary, secretary, salesperson or mother - - all happy in the knowledge and experience that they became became what they wanted to be and a town such as Newcastle Newcastle gave them the resources resources to do it. I know that the children . want to learn and experience experience the rarity in life, they just need the tools. My hus- and and I now use 4 rackets rackets to plav tennis at Newcas tle Public School; otherwise we can't play, two eager 10 years olds, after sidelining and ball collecting, got into the game, our game is now their game! So by giving them tne tools - 4 can now P '%e t ,/e have a choice for the future of Newcastle. We can stand at the corner of Mill Street and Hwy. 2 and become become a bystander like so many of our youth; eager to watch the lives of others pass us by on their way to knowledge and experience in other centres; or we can bring those lessons and clubs and activities home so we can participate.
