"The proposed three-storey expansion expansion would be kept to the confines confines of the existing footprint," Dal- rymple said. The addition would be on the north side of the mill -- an area which presently houses a second office, office, washrooms and a stairwell to the basement. He noted the location "would be less liable to the problems of flooding." flooding." In discussion with Clarington Councillors, Dalrymple said he was hoping to accomplish two things by making a bid for some of the infrastructure infrastructure monies. "Our project has. possible merits for consideration, and if that is not in the cards, then this can be a start of a dialogue with council." ' lif infrastructure funds are not available, the VAC board of directors directors will begin reviewing the stan dard fundraising techniques. "We will work on securing private private capital and see what is available available on provincial and federal levels for funding." However, the board really wants to be considered for the second wave of infrastructure funding, he added. Figures show the VAC is a popular popular place for programs and exhibitions. exhibitions. Last year people made 10,000 visits to the mill. Currently, there are 320 individuals individuals and family memberships held at the centre. Last year, 60 programs were run and 30 art exhibits were held. A feasibility study by Sears and Russel is the VAC's attempt to "gaze into the future," said Dalrymple. Dalrymple. The board is not "under any illusions" illusions" about what can be accomplished, accomplished, he noted. The mill would continue to operate operate on a "break-even basis." Councillor Mary Novak wanted to know if, with 10,000 visits in a one-year period, the VAC would consider trying to raise funds through charges associated with their programs.

Councillor Novak told the VAC members in attendance at the Monday Monday night meeting: "It's going to be difficult, but you're being realistic." She then asked Rodgers if the programs could be expanded without without an addition to the building. Rodgers replied that they could not. Within the executive summary of the feasibility study, it is noted that "the old mill has become less able to meet the demands placed on its small spaces and has needed increasing increasing attention to repairs." One of the points made in the report report is that the authors of the report and the board assumed the VAC would remain at the mill. It is estimated that over the remaining remaining years of this decade the annual annual operating budget of the VAC will increase from $75,000 in 1993 when the study was completed to $109,000 in 2000. At the time the study was completed, completed, it was thought that "if sufficient sufficient funds can be obtained to permit permit the l uninterrupted implementation of this project, it is estimated that it can be fully completed completed by the end of 1995." Construction Construction would have begun "either fall 1994 or spring 1995." Council and the members of the VAC board of directors are now waiting for any information the Chief Administrative Officer, the Director of Community Services, Joe Caruana, and Treasurer Marie Marano can find out regarding the infrastructure program.

Date: _______ A Bowmanville man said his car sustained $750 in damage after youths tossed a rock off the railroad bridge on Highway Two in Bowmanville. Bowmanville. The incident happened around 3:30 p.m. on Monday, June 27. The driver said the rock -- which was about half the size of a brick -- shattered after landing about two metres in front of the car. However, fragments damaged the hood and cracked the windshield of the east- bound vehicle. The driver gave police descriptions descriptions of three suspects he observed on the railway overpass. He adds that had the rock hit the car directly, he could have been killed or injured or caused another traffic accident as a result. The rock appears to have come from the material material placed beneath the railway tics. xu PnovidiNq OuAliiy ClEANiNq ServIces For Borh REsidENTÎAl & CommercîaI Locations SpeciAlizEd ServIces IincIuJe * GeneraI InterIor PaIntInc, * Carpet Care * WInJow CIganîncj ■ Ask Us Aboui Quit Station DiscouNis Also A Gulai Gifi ItliA THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON PUBLIC NOTICE TO ITS CITIZENS NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE IN THE MATTER OF the Ontario Heritage Act, 1974, R.S.O., 1990, Chapter 0.18; AND IN THE MATTER OF the lands and premises at the following Municipal addresses: LOCATIONS: 240 Liberty Street North - Part Lot 11, Concession 1, Former Town of Bowmanville, now in the Municipality of Clarington. 34 Wellington Street - Part Lot 11, Concession 2, Former Town of Bowmanville, now in the Municipality of Clarington.
