Binvmanville, November 4, 1998 Bits and Pieces ROTARY SPONSORS CONCERT -- The Bowmanville Rotary Club is bringing renowned tenor Mark Dubois to town this Saturday, November 7th, for a concert at Bowmanville High School auditorium. The program, entitled "Vienna, Broadway and Song," begins at eight pan. For tickets and information, call 579-6711 or 623-1511. Tickets are also available at King Street Bar and Grill and Golliger's Travel in Bowmanville or at Mathews and Associates Insurance in Newcastle and the Royal Bank at Townline Rd., Courtice. UGLY CONTEST SHOWS HANDSOME PROFITS PROFITS -- The Big Brothers of Claringlon UGLY server contest will probably raise over $10,000 for the cause. The event closed on the weekend with two volunteers shaving their heads in a last-minute effort to boost the total proceeds. Ten Claringlon pubs and restaurants took part in the fund-raiser, with each one designating an "UGLY" server to collect donations from the patrons. It's a fund-raising strategy we will, no doubt, see repeated in the future. WRONG SPELLING -- A reader has reminded us that the historic Bowmanville sign at 24 Lowe St., in Bowmanville, has an incorrect spelling in no less than five locations. Tire name of the family that owned the residence is Cawker and not Cawbcr. We understand that those in charge of the signage are aware of the problem and a revision will be made. BLOOD DONOR CLINIC -- The next Red Cross Blood Donor Clinic is set for Wednesday, November 18th, in Bowmanville. The clinic will be back at its usual location, the Claringlon Beech Centre (formerly the Lions Centre) at 26 Beech Avc. Hours of the clinic are 12:30 pan. to 7:30 pan. Customers at The Bow and Fiddle in Bowmanville raised a total of $3,782 for Big Brothers of Claringlon in the recent "UGLY" server contest. Part of that success success was due to the efforts of Tom McAleese, who raised an estimated $ 1,700 when he vowed to have his head shaved and his ear pierced if patrons would make a contribution to the fund. On Friday night, he made good on his promise and, with a full house looking on, went under clippers. Here, his son, Scott, takes a turn with the shears, while daughter, Sharon, watches at right. Tim's 5th Wheel Manager Kathy Porter concentrates concentrates on the scalp of her newly-bakl boss, Tim Powers. The head -shaving came as a result of a challenge challenge Powers issued as part of the U.G.L.Y. (Understanding, Generous, Lovable You) fund-raiser for Claringlon Big Brothers. He said if his staff raised $1,500 during the contest, he'd let them shave his head. Powers says in future he'll up the ante. His staff has managed, so far, to raise almost $1,600. Close Shave Halloween Night was Quiet in Clarington Halloween wasn't at all scary for Durham Regional Police in Clarington this year. "Generally speaking, Clarington was quiet" Saturday night as ghosts and goblins made their rounds, says Inspector Ross Smith. According to police accounts, incidents reported reported in Clarington on Halloween very fairly minor in nature. Only one instance of eggs being thrown was noted. Three windows at Mother Theresa Elementary School were broken overnight Oct. 31. A woman in Courtice report ed four tires on a vehicle being slashed on Halloween. And, a nine- year-old trick-or-treater in Courtice was bitten by a dog on Phair Avenue. Other than those incidents, incidents, Insp. Smith says only "standard calls" were received. "There wasn't a great amount of damage this year," said Insp. Smith. "It was rather uneventful." Police Briefs Mischief in School Yard Durham Regional Police arc looking for a number of suspects after a dumpster was set on fire and eggs were thrown at a Courtice school last Friday. A maintenance person at Dr. Emily Stowe Public School on Sandringham Drive told police lie saw about 20 teenagers set the lire and throw the eggs. Two windows in the school were damaged in the incident. Deer and Car Collide A Bowmanville driver had a fright when his vehicle vehicle and a deer came into collision on Highway 2 near Wesleyville Road last Thursday. The man was not injured in the incident. According to Durham Regional Police Inspector Ross Smith, people should be vigilant in watching for deer and other animals. "They're on the move this time of year. Keep that in mind when driving in rural areas," said Insp. Smith. Ministry Charges Municipalities To Nab Parking Ticket Offenders NEW GEAR - P.C. Laurie O'Brien-Edwards, of Durham Regional Police, Clarington Division, shows h'ow the Police Service's new voice and data wireless communication system will work. The new system will be purchased from ClearNET Communications, and should be up and running by next September.

"It will make police officers' jobs easier, and that always translates into better service," said the Chief. Ontario Municipalities are being required to set up a electronic data transmission transmission system with the provincial government to obtain license information for the municipal parking tag program. And it's going to be costly. "I see this as another example of downloading," said Mayor Diane Hamre. "Now they are charging us fees for something they used to provide to help us enforce parking by-laws." If a vehicle owner fails to pay a parking ticket within 35 days, the municipality municipality may send the ticket to court for a conviction to be registered against the owner of the vehicle. In order to prepare the tickets for court, the municipality must know who owns the vehicle and they have lo get that information from the Ministry of Transportation. In the past, the informa tion has been provided through the mail free of charge. Starting in April, the information will only be provided through a computer link and there will be a charge of $3 for each name and address. The system requires a direct dedicated phone link from the Ministry's computers to the municipality municipality at a minimum cost of $250. As well, there will be usage charges for all hardware, software and services required to connect connect and maintain the telecommunications link.
