The official opening of the Simcoe Street North facility (directly behind the Central Seven building) isn't planned until mid-August but bowlers should be enjoying the green long before then. Last week the club's building committee took the opportunity to The Port Perry Lawn Bowling Club is pleas- ed to announce the near-completion of its new facilities, located north of the fairgrounds. It's been a lot of hard work, say the members who try out the new green and declared it in fine shape. The clubhouse was the next best thing to being finish- ed and the computerized watering system is all set. The biggest deci- sion yet to be made is whether or not the front property should be sodded or gravelled (for more parking space).

Ap- proximately 130 bricks were sold for the wall, which will be placed at one end of the club house interior wall. Each brick has the name of the buyer printed neatly on it for display. The wall will be unveiled at the official opening on August 23,. 1986. Many members had misgivings about leaving the old site on Queen Street to go north to what seemed like an out-post of town, but now that the site is in the midst of the Cawker"s Creek subdivision, members feel the club forms a part of what they call "the Municipal Showcase." Two years of planning and one year of hard work went into the con- struction of the new facility, carried out by the building committee's 12 members. At the outset, Gordon Prentice was persuaded to be the greenskeeper and members have credited the excellent condition of the new green to Mr. Prentice. Two experienced lawn bowlers, one from Lindsay and one from Oshawa, saw the new green at dif- ferent times and both said frankly, "I am impressed." The green is regulation size for tournaments and members are con- fident that together with the new club house, it will make the facility one of the best in Ontario. Considerable: attention had been focused on the new site, resulting in a real increase in members. Last year the membership doubled from 25 to 50. The goal for 1986 is 100 members and current members are approaching that number with much enthusiasm. New lawn bowlers are invited to join at any time. Anyone who is a member in 1986 will be considered a Charter member of the new facility. The Charter member plaque with. members' names inscribed will also be unveiled at the official opening. Anyone interested in joining the club can contact president Stan Rickard at 985-8033 or Harold Mar- tyn at 985-7110. Garbage station will cost Durham plenty It will cost Durham Region about $150,000 over the next three years to maintain the Cartwright garbage transfer station. Included in that figure are four new 40 cu. yd. roll off refuse containers. The Regional council will be ask- ed this week to approve a three con- tract with Browning Ferris In- dustries for supplying containers and maintaining the transfer sta- tions in Cartwright and Oshawa. The Region's works department is recommending that a low bid from Browning Ferris be accepted. The company estimates it will cost $661,830 to maintain the Oshawa sta- tion and $150,995 for Cartwright from July 1 this year to June 30, 1989. The company will purchase 14 refuse bins for the Region. These bins have a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years. In seeking bids for maintenance of the transfer stations, the Region received a total of five. Browning Ferris was the lowest. The tender cost to the Region will increase after 12 and 24 months bas- ed on the labour and equipment component of the Consumer Price Index. oe le odo HUMAN NATURE Allow a man the little he wants in life and he'll kick himself for not asking for more.
