She won the use of the elegant 1974 Mustang II for a month in a contest held on the night when the new models were unveiled to the public. Presenting her with the keys to the latest addition to the Ford stables is Dwaýne Sawyer, manager of the Bowmanville branch of MacDonald Ford. In the centre of the group is Toronto-Dominion Bank manager, John Pogue, who made the draw. Barnes Norton of Bowmanville picked up a five-piece cannister set as the second prize in the contest and Joseph Seto won the third prize of a barbeque. The new Mustang Il combines a peppy V-6 engine with sporty looks and handling. Mrs. Rutherford will no doubt enjoy driving for the next month. Wins First Prize for Metal Sculpture Grade 13 student Dave Oudshoorn stands face to face with his metal sculpture entitled "Head". The BHS student won a first prize ribbon and $25 at the Port Hope Fall Fair this September for his creation. Dave is enrolled in the five year academic program but the system at BHS allows students to take technical or commercial subjects if they choose. Dave picked Creative Welding last year and "Head" was one of the results. Health Unit Plans Classes For All Expectant Parents two hours with the entire series spread over a period of eight weeks. The program involves an informal discuss- ion pattern with everyone allowed to ask information on subjects pertaining to the infant at any time. Young fathers are also expected to attend at least two sessions. Mr. James Hooper, Administrative Assistant of Nursing at the Bowmanville Memorial Hospital, will be on hand during the fathers' visits to the classes. Minor Hockey Assoc Holds Election The Bowmanville Minor Hockey Association held their election of officers for the 1973-74 season recently. Keith Shackelton was elected Pres- ident to head up the activities which centre around the town's All-Star hockey setup. Other officers elected were: Bob Wright, 1st. vice-presi- dent; Jim Farrow, 2nd. vice- president; Douglas Kemp, treasurer, and Mrs. B. Butt- onshaw, secretary. Irrespons ible (From Page One) "Literally thousands of peo- ple were inconvenienced," he added "because someone wanted to use an insulator for target practise." "We've tried all sorts of approaches to get people to be more sensible with their guns but it seems to be a losing battle." Although the power was restored within 43 minutes by switching the power load to other distribution stations, hydro crews worked until almost 9:00 a.m. in the morning repairing the dam- age and returning the power supply to its normal source. Apparently, it wasn't the actual bullet that knocked out the power according to Walt- ers. Electricity will flow normally, even without the insulators, as long as the weather remains dry. How- ever, once the poles get wet, the current can jump the line and set the pole on fire, which is what happened on Friday morning. Ten Directors elected for the new season are as follows: Lyn Potter, Walter Tink, Pat Stocker, E. Stewart, Dick Dennis, Paul Sobil, Jim Cry- derman, Don Welsh, Tony Viser, and Mrs. E. Storgaart. The seven team consists of approximately 112 boys with final line-up of players set for Nov. 30th. Names of sponsor- ing merchants and business- men will be released at a later date when a full roster has been established. Mayor Vents (From Page One) Wilson and Manning Swartz. An Oshawa lawyer, Dave Conway, presented the first petition to council on behalf of Waverly Gardens builder, Mario Veltri. He was request- ing that council grant occu- nancy permits so that people who have bought homes in Phase Two of Waverly Gard- ens can move in, despite the fact that the necessary servic- es have not been completed. According to the Oshawa lawyer, five weeks of strikes have led to a situation where neither the underground wir- ing installations nor the pav- ing of the subdivision's streets have been completed. Builder Veltri offered to put in "temporary" overhead wiring at his own expense, and wanted council to allow the new homes to be occupied even though the streets would remain gravel until Bennett Paving in Oshawa gets around to completing the job. However, council was in no Graduates Mrs. Betty Desousa from Bowmanville, the daugh- ter of Mrs. Phyllis and the late William Dawson, graduated from the Quo Vadis School of Nursing in Mississauga in September, mood to grant anymore con- cessions in the subdivision, particularily in light of the prolonged problems that have already been encountered in the Wil-Swar developments. Several weeks ago, for example, council learned that the Wil-Swar firm was unable to complete the storm sewer system for the Waverly Road subdivision because abutting land-owncrs Joc and Carl Schwarz were refusingCto grant a storm sewer easement across their property. Hence, at the October 2nd. meeting, Council unanimously turned down Veltri's request for the occupancy permits. Same Problem Immediately after hearing the Veltri petition, Council was approached by Allan Berk, another Oshawa lawyer, representing Peter D'Angelo, a builder wbo has agreed to purchase 150 lots from Wil- Swar at the south end of Waverly Road. D'Angelo is concerned that he cannot get any building permits because, once again, the necessary services have not been completed by the developers. The transaction for the sale of the serviced land from Wil-Swar to D'.Angelo Homes was to have taken place on August 15th, but Wil-Swar's inability to secure the storm sewer casement from the Schwartz brothers bas left the deal in limbo. According to earlier comm- ents made by the Wil-Swar lawyer, the Schwarz brothers want some kind of guarantee that they will get building permits for part of their property before they will grant the storm sewer case- ment. The casement in question would allow the developer to build a shallow drainage swail across 200-300 feet of the Schwarz farm. The swai would allow storm waters from the subdivisions to drain into the Bowmanville creek. D'Angelo is upset because he has $250,000 tied up waiting for Wil Swar to resolve the impasse. D'Angelo's lawyer charged that the Wil-Swar firm is in no hurry to solve the problem and willing to wait "for 30 years if necessary," for the Schwarz brothers to come to terms. Home Buyer Will Suffer Lawyer Berk also pointed out that if the D'Angelo subdivision had gone ahead on time, mortgages for the home-buyers could have been secured for 9 to 92 percent. Now, however, mortgages are up to 10% to 1012 and may jump to over il percent in the not-too-distant future. Costs continue to rise in the building industry, he added, and "Any additional costs will be passed on to the home purchasers." "It will bc the average wage-earner who buys a house who will really suffer from these delavs," asserted Berk. He suggesied that council had a "moral responsibility" to the future residents of the town to resolve the dilemma. However, Berk was forced to admit that it shouldn't be a council policy to bail out developers, even though he feels the original agreement with Wil-Swar shoula never have been registered before all the necessary easements had been secured. Ater all was said, council decided to meet with the town's lawyer and Engineer Charles Watt at the next Committee of the Whole meeting to see what can be done about the situation. Watt has indi<ated he hopes to get the Schwarz brclîers together with the Wil-Swar firm in the near future. Apparently, the two parties are negotiating again and Wil-Swar has reportedly made a new offer for the sewer easement but there is no indication as yet whether or not the Schwarz brothers have accepted. Building Boom (From Page One) subdivision and they aaaea they felt the Ministry of the Environment would reject any new development in any case. "The water treatment faci- lities are in a similar circum- stance to the sewage treat- ment plant," according to Proctor and Redfern. The new water plant near- ing completion at the East Beach will only handle a population of 15,000. PUC Manager Morley Wat- son has indicated that , a pre-treatment facility can be added to double the capacity of the water filtration plant (at a cost of $500,000) but things may be more complicated with the sewage facilities. A Ministry of the Environ- ment report has stated "no further expansion of the sewage treatment facilities at the existing location can be considered unless an outfall is constructed to Lake Ontario." Considering the distance that such an effluent storm sewer would have to run (from the existing location at Lib- erty Street and Highway 401), Proctor and Redfern suggest- ed that "an alternate site should be considered at a point closer to the lake." Hence, it appears that $2-$3 million will have to be spent on service facilities before any further growth takes place in Bowmanville. Hydro Meeting (From Page One) ario Hydro, Eastern Regional Office at Belleville. Following termination of the meeting, the attending citi- zens were asked to fill out forms outlining their thoughts about the proposed routes for the transmission line. It was stated that public opinion would not be the sole factor in deciding the final route, however, it was a consideration which would not be overlooked. A second meeting will be held at Clarke High School, this evening and a third meeting to-morrow evening at the Kendal Public School. Both meeting. will begin at around 8:00 p.m. C of C Council (From Page One) had written to Council earlier in the summer advising them of their interest in co-operat- ing with the elected represen- tatives to get such a campaign underway. The Chamber was invited to make a presentation to the September meeting of Council and the result has been the special committee and the Anti-Litter Campaign. The Public Affairs Comm- ittee of the Chamber of Commerce. comorised of Bob Dykstra, Merv Kelly, Freda Kramp and George Stephens, submitted a report to the Council committee, recomm- ending several ideas for cleaning up Bowmanville. Most of the Chamber's sugg- estions were adopted. OMEA Pres (From Page One) from Whitbvand Lindsav. as far east as Ottawa, and to Deep River in the north.

According to him, the group acts as "a watchdog for the public on hydro", trying to find better methods and means of provid- ing hydro-electric power to the publie in the various munici- palities across Ontario. The provincial association makes recommendations to both Hydro and the government aimed at providing better service. GET CASH TODAY FOR OLD APPLIANCES THROUGH S T A T E S M A N More Building (From Page One) Not surprisingly. 86 of the 91 permits issued in August covered residential construc- tion. The totals for 1973, to the beginning of September, showed that 429 new building starts have been undertaken, with 410 of those being residential buildings. That represents $9.2 million in construction in Bowmanville so far this year. Its meant a bonus for the town's Treasury as well. Revenue from the building permits is close to $22,000 already this year, whiclf compares quite favorably wtih the 1971 total of just over $3,000.
