It was, however a necessary business decision for the Massey Company. Although the Massey family family had only resided in Newcastle for about a quarter century, they had taken taken root here well and were involved in all aspects of village life. It wasn't surprising then to the residents of the village that the Massey Family would make their summer residence and hold the Company Picnics at Newcastle Newcastle for many decades to come. But the gesture that must have really surprised many residents came a half century later. The Massey Company proposes a grand new community community Hall for Newcastle. This would be a gift to the village from Chester Massey. Chester was bom in the village in 1850, about three years after his father, Daniel moved from the family farm at Grafton. From the September 29th 1921 issue issue of the Orono News we read; "An important event in the life of the village village took place on Saturday afternoon... afternoon... when the first sod in connection connection with the new Community Hall, donated by the Massey people, was turned. Two bright young scions of the family, Lionel and Hart Massey,' had the honor...Reeve George P. Rickard presided. The attendance fell short of what might be anticipated." Also from the Canadian Statesman Statesman of the same date we read this account; account; "The $75,000 building...will be a T shape and will include a Post Office and Masonic Hall in the East wing, Community Hall with a seating capacity of 400 in the center and a Public Library and Town Hall in the West wing." In the same issue we note; "The party motoring down from Toronto consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Massey and sons Lionel and Hart, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Massey and Mr. Walter Sheldon. There were also present Mr. E.R. Rolph representing representing Sprout and Rolph, architects and Bert Page of the firm of Waller Page and Co., contractors, Toronto." The library remained in this location location serving the village for close to seventy years, until the Town of Newcastle moved it into more modem modem quarters. Shortly after this time the Newcastle Village and District Historical Society started negotiations negotiations for long term possession of the Memorial Library for archival purposes. purposes. About a year ago they signed a deal with the Hall Board which allowed allowed them to refurbish the room to its original grandeur. Since this time many members of the Historical Society have been spending their spare time volunteering volunteering expertise and hard work restoring this room. At last a date has been set for the Grand Re-opening of this historical comer of the village, December 4th at 3 p.m. Among the many dignitaries who will be present at the official Reopening Reopening will be Hart Massey, one of the Grandsons of Chester who officially officially turned the sod for the construction construction of the hall in 1921. Hart's brother, brother, Lionel has since passed away but two of Lionel's daughters, Mrs. Susan Susan Watcrworth and Mrs. Evva Henry Henry along with their families will be present for the festivities. Other special guests will include Mayor, Diane Hamre and other Members of Council. A presentation will be made by Dianna Grandfield on behalf of L.A.C.A.C. to Mayor Hamre. This will be a plaque acclaiming acclaiming the designation of the Newcastle Newcastle Community Hall as an Historical Historical Building. The public is invited to Open House in the Memorial Library on December the fourth and fifth from two until four p.m. With the official opening taking place at three p.m. on Saturday December the fourth. Refreshments Refreshments will be served and many artifacts, not previously exhibited will be displayed.

Jan Oegema, a Bowmanville wood carver and teacher of carving, is shown alongside one of his latest works. This particular deep relief carving is inspired by the entrance gates at old Quebec City. It utilizes utilizes basswood. Mr. Oegema couldn't estimate the number of hours required required to complete such a project, since he is always carving several different works at one time. Mr. Oegema started carving designs on jewellery boxes ten years ago. He now teaches the craft to about 46 students. His popular carving classes will resume in January. An advertisement advertisement in this week's Statesman classifieds gives further details. Rugby Club Unable to Use Farm Land for Playing Fields Land buyers should know the zoning of their property before they buy it -- especially if the land is zoned for permanent agriculture. That is the conclusion Clarington councillors reached at Monday night's council meeting. Glenn Elliott, a representative of the Oshawa Vikings Rugby Club, wanted councillors to overturn a Planning Department recommendation recommendation which opposes the club's plan to develop their land near Hampton. The rugby club was hoping to build two rugby fields and a clubhouse clubhouse on land located on the west side of Holt Road, just north of Taunton Road. The club owns 11.0 hectares. In the Planning Department staff report, it is stated that the property was designated as "Permanent Agri culture Reserve" in the 1976 and 1991 Regional Official Plans. This means the land is to be used for agriculture agriculture and farm-related purposes. "The proposed use is not recognized recognized as an agricultural or farm related related use," states the report. Comments from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food state the land- in question is "80 per cent Class 1 soil and shows indication of being farmed in the past." Also, the Ministry indicated that since the surrounding land is used in an agricultural capacity, the proposed proposed use should be restricted to an urban area. While the Ministry of Agriculture Agriculture and Food was the only agency among eight to voice objections, Clarington Council backed the planning planning staff's recommendation to deny the application.
