SperPur À6Grandj oy George Vice The present site cf Soper Creek Park is the site of the former Crcam cof Barley Mill. About 1832, Leenard Saper built a woodeu grist miii on Soper's Creek at what is nowv known as Saper Creek Park, This mil was destroyed by fire about 1900. The' present four storey' brick building was buîlt about, 1905. It was in this miii that' the manufacture cf barley. preducts was conducted until about 1956. For many years, the miii was known as Soper's Mill but later was known as MacKay's Mili. J. L. Morden cperated the Cream cf Barley Miil for a number cf years and made Cream cof Bariey wellknown through the publicity frcm bis Creain cf Bariey Park at Bowmanville on Number 2 Hîghway. He was married te a daughter cf the MacKay whe had owned and operated the miii. Mr, Morden was.an exceedingiy colourful an d flamboyant character who will long be remembered in Bowmanvile. The miii was, closed about 1956 and remained' unused until 1964 at whioh time the Rotary Club of Bcwmanvilie purcbased the 17 acre site as an arca for the use of the citizens cf this area as a park. The Town cf Bowmanvilie is fortunate te, have two, creek valleys withini theto)wn limits, and within easy walk- ing distance of most of the citizeus. Unfortunately, most of the creek velley land is in the bauds cf privato citizens and thus is net available for the use of the peopleocf thîs area. $17,000 To Buy Wifh flue thougltin lummd, flic Roaray Club cf Bowman- ville purcliased flic site lu 1964 et a cost cf $17,000.00 in flic hope fliat flue would be just flic sien of s pnogram ta acquiro al cf flic creek val- loy lande for flic future use of flic people cf flue area for recreetien pumposes.

In the basemeut cf the Mill House, there is a coffee shop, chairs, tables,, etc., where the youth can play cards, listen te music and conduet other youth's activities. -Facilities f or dancing and table tennis, etc., have been prpvided on the first floor. The second and third floors'still need te be renovated. Receives Grant This ycar for the first time, the Club has received a grant under the Local Initiative, Prcgram cf the Federal Gev- erument. The grant amounts te $24,200,00 fer wages and $4,114.00 for other expenses including the cost of Canada Pension, Unempicymeut In- surance, Vacation Pay and te belp buy the material neces- sary te complete the work. Some of the work which wili be undertaken is as fol- lews: * Toîlets will be înstailed in the miii building. Ma- terial for this will cost about $1,700.00. 11 * New floors ln the miii. The cost ef the plywood will be about $900.00. *Repairs to the uper part of the miii walis Yaterial will cost about $200.00.. Instal playground equip- tment. Cost of equipment $1,5100.00. * Provide new bleachers for bail park, put in ad- ditional crowd control fence, instal drainage tules for bail diamond, ad- ditional loam for diamond. Material costs, $l,500.0ý0. * Clean up picnic area - remove olci and dead trees - plant new trees - plant new grass, and in,!- prove-the area. * Possibly instaîl ad- dîtional well. Material cost $200.00., * Trim all trees in 'park and general dlean-up of area. Clean ditches and repair roads. The grant; provides meney for the cost of the labour. However, most of the cost of the material must be met from club funds. At this time the Rotarians are busy raising funds to help' provide the material necessary for the renovations.
