He cited as an example a truck fire two days earlier on Trulls Road in south Courtice. As the emergency was being being handled by firemen from the No. 4 station, a tire exploded exploded with "such a force that debris debris off the tire shattered the faceshicld" of a fireman's helmet. helmet. "People just don't realize how dangerous and hazardous our job is," Elyca bemoaned. "Something as small as a tire fire and the guy almost got his head blown off." A couple of hours before he made the remark, Elyca and a two-man crew - driver Gary Oliver and fireman Owen Ferguson Ferguson - were at the scene of a nasty traffic accident. Elyca said the driver of the 1981 Oldsmobilc was "banged up pretty bad" and "I sent a man inside the vehicle to get him (the driver) out of the car." "The hood went through the windshield, but the driver was lucky. He had his scat belt on." One fire engine from the No. 4 station and one each from stations No. 5 in Enniskillen Enniskillen and No. 1, which is the Newcastle Fire Department headquarters station in Bowmanvillc, Bowmanvillc, joined an ambulance and police at the intersection of Enfield Road and Concession 7 where the car collided with a dump truck. "VVe arrived (at the scene) six minutes after we got the emergency phone call." As their captain spoke, firemen firemen of the No. 4 station were putting finishing touches on a miniature Fire Safety House they were constructing in the main hall of the station. The firemen had hoped that the 12-foot-by 13 and 1/2-by- cight replica house they were building on a trailer could be in time for Saturday's Santa Claus parade in Bowmanvillc. They even had planned to have Mayor Marie Hubbard cut a ribbon to the miniature house at the start of the parade. That didn't materialize because because "we were called away many times and wc felt we cannot be in time for the parade," parade," Elyca said on the eve of the parade. The ribbon-cutting would have been one of Marie Hubbard's Hubbard's last acts as the Mayor of Newcastle. Mayor Hubbard was not rc- .turned in Tuesday's community community elections. She was badly beaten by Councillor Diane Hamre of Orono and Mrs. Ann Cowman of Courtice. Mrs. Cowman, who was officially officially 27 votes behind Ms. Hamre, was expected to call for a recount.

The Cold and The Bold! by Krista Motty and Kris Stapley The junior students went to a soccer tournament at the Darlington Nuclear Plant field at the end of October. They played six games. Although it was cold and cloudy, they won three games and felt they had done a good job. All the games were close. The team enjoyed meeting many pupils from other schools for fun, fitness and the spirit of fair play. The team would like to thank Mrs. McElwain and Mile. Burnett for doing a fine job coaching the students through the tournament. After the tournament the students went home, relaxed and thawed out. of the Town of Newcastle vot-. cd 59% in favor of a name change. The actual count was 7,873 to 5,470 in a referendum that asked voters: "Arc you in favor of retaining the name Town of Newcastle?" The reason for the name change is that many residents, of the town felt confused by the two Ncwcastlcs - the Town and the Village of Newcastle. Several weeks ago it was suggested in this column that! since towns arc on a higher, rung than villages on the ladder ladder of political infrastructure shouldn't it be that the Village of Newcastle and not the Town should have its name changed. Why not Ncwcastlcvillc for the Village of Newcastle? It's unlikely that long-time residents residents of the village would object object to Ncwcastlcvillc, which still retains the essence of Newcastle village. Also, think of the dollars and cents the town is likely to save by changing the village's and not the town's name. Bowmanvillc residents who favor name change really shouldn't be too concerned over whether it's the Town or Village of Newcastle since theirs - Bowmanvillc is known throughout the world, thanks to Canada Post. Many Courliccans will have Canada Post to thank toward the end of November when permanent mail boxes will replace replace their temporary counterparts counterparts in a number of subdivisions subdivisions in Courtice. Installation of the permanent permanent boxes began several weeks ago and inspectors were seen last week at several sites in a number of sub-divisions, conducting last-minute checks on the new boxes.
