2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Nov. 21, 1973 Lockhart's School Pupils mm 0 àd*7M 0$ Raise More Thon $700 to Buy Playground Equipment Lockhart Public School may only be a small school-(five classrooms ot gracies one to six pupls)- but it is certainly big in determination and effort. This past September, when it was found that there was no money in the budget for playground equipment the pupils decided to do something about it. After careful consid- eration the pupils of grades four, five and six planned a 'Run-a-thon' and began coll- ecting sponsors. The event which was carried on at the school under the supervision of the teachers and some parents proved very success- Banjo Expert Thrills LegioA Audience ful. Slightly over seven hund- red dollars was raised. Play- ground equipment consisting of swings, teeter-totter and a climber was selected and ordered. Last week, this equipnient was installed and the pupils are now enjoying their much improved playground. Three Oshawa Men Win Key Positions In Regional Set Up Three more top administra- tive officiais were hired by the Durham Regional Council last week. All three come to their new positions from posts they currently hold in Oshawa. Oshawa planning commis- sioner Bob Richardson was appointed as the head of the Works Department for the Durham Region at a salary of $29,000 per year. Ontario County engineer Bill Twelve- trees was the other finalist for the job. Bil McAdam, the planning director of the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board, won out in a close vote over Whitby planning director, Dr. Mofeed Micheal, for the position of planning and development commissioner. The third appointment also came on Thursday, November 15th. Fifty-one-year-old Doug Johns, superintendent at Osh- awa's Hillsdale Manor Home for the Aged, was picked as the commissioner of the Social Services Department over Ajax-Pickering Social Plan- ning Couneil director Creg McC lare. In both the case of McAdam and Johns, Council opted for administrative capability and experience rather than new ideas and education. Each committee of council had screened and interviewed the applicarits for their adminis- trative department and then recommended the two final- ists to the council as a whole. This week the council is expected to choose the last of the top administrative offi- cers, the commissioner of the Finance Department. "Parochial Voting", After the selection of Ont- ario County Clerk William Manning as chief administra- tor for the new region last Wednesday, the seven Oshawa councillors at the meeting walked out in protest. Mayor Potticary seemed to feel that the other councillors had voted against the Oshawa candidate who was up for the job, simply to thwart the Oshawa representatives. Afterwards, Newcastle councillor Ken Lyall pointed out that it is the Oshawa councillors who are the ones Adm inistrator (From Page One) adminstrator was made by secret ballot in a closed council meeting. This method was originally favored by Potticary who sponsored a joint motion with Newcastle's Garnet Rickard to this effect. This idea was that council didn't want to damage the careers of any of the appli- cants by discussing their qualifications in open council. Potticaryfchanged horses after conferring with the seven Oshawa members and decided to make a motion keeping the interviews with applicants for other top ad- ministrative posts secret but having an open debate and vote in council to do the actual selection. Seven Police Forces United In addition to the selection of the 44-year-old Jenkins as, the first regional police chief, the five Police Commissioners made two other major decis- ions last Wednesday evening. The present Oshawa police building will become the regional police headquarters for the seven existingpolice departmients in tbe Durham G. N. Milburn C. C. Leslie MR. GEOFFREY MILBURN, Manager of the East Central District of Consumers' Gas since 1969, is appointed Administrative Manager in Toronto, effective November 1, 1973. He is succeeded by MR. CLIFFORD LESLIE, former Manager of Operations for Provincial Gas Company - a division of Consumers' Gas, serving the Niagara Peninsula. Mr. Leslie will be responsible for all phases of the Company's operations in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Bow- manville and surrounding communities, and also Lindsay and Peterborough. guilty of thinking and voting in terms of local interests. "There's no question that bloc voting on behalf of the Oshawa people is raising its ugly head," said Lyall. "Act- ually," he added, "It would be better to call it parochial voting." "As far as I could see there was no anti-Oshawa prejudice on the rest of council. We picked Manning because he seemed to be the best man for the job." Region and ahi administrative work and communications facilities will be centralized in the Oshawa headquarters. Bowmanville will be includ- ed in the area which will be taken over as of January 1st, 1974, by the regional police. However, the rest of the new Town of Newcastle, plus the new municipalities of Scugog (including Cartwright Town- ship) and Brock, and the old township of Scott, wiil con- tinueto be policed by the OPP, at east fornthe present. Chief Jenkins bas suggested that the area to be covered by the new regional police should be divided into two districts. Number One District will include the city of Oshawa and the towns of Bowmanville and Whitby, with the headquarters in Oshawa. District Number Two, with headquarters in Pickering, will include the new Town of Ajax and the new Township of Uxbridge. The remainder of the region will be grádually taken over by tbe regional poice force over a number of years.- Jenkins indicated that all communications, including cails for assistance. wilh be cbannehed througb the bead- quarters in Oshawa. Starting January lst, the new pbone number for emergency cahis will, ho ahi ikelhood, be 579-1234. Jenkins said that cards containing important information on the new reg- ional police will be mailed out to all residents of the area with their next telephone and hydro bills. The new chief commented that he intends to pay informal visits to the Bowmanville Police, as well as all other detachments in the area, as soon as possible. He offered his assurances that no offi- cers, with the 'exception of some in the senior ranks, will be transferred unnecessariy as a resuit of tbe new set-up. "That's not my philosophy", he said. "The police in Bowmanville know their area and have established a good rapport with the people of the town and I don't intend to upset a good situation." He added he is "death against cosing the Bowman- ville station." One Bowmanville police officer commented, "The majority of the fellows here are happy with the new set-up." High Esteem for Manning Regarding the appointment of Wihiam Manning as the cbief administrator for tbe region, Durham chairman Walter Beath commented that Manning's knowledge of the area and the bigb esteem in which he is held localy would stand him in good stead in his new position.

He showed his versatility with the instrument, that is rapidly regaining its popularity, by playing many currently popular numbers and then switching to the nostalgie old timers. Others appearing on the program arranged and MC'd by the well-known Zena Cheevers whose baton twirling exploits have been seen over the years on television as she led Grey Cup football parades, included singer Kathy Wayne, graphologist Les Barker, dancer Peggy Jackson, with incomparable Art Snider on the organ and Ted Snider, his nephew, on traps. Manning is "a quiet, soft-spok- en person who has the greatest respect of anyone who bas worked with him. He will be uvery compatible with the council. " Rickard added that Man- ning's biggest task will be "to get all the municipahities from the region working together." As the chief administrator one of his main functions will be to ensure harmony and co-ordination among the var- ious departments in the reg- ional set-up.

I addition, ifta taxpayer lives outside the Newcastle'municipality, he can pay bis annual levy at any CIBC branch in the Durham Region. Reviewing Applications Applications for the key administrative positions of Clerk, Treasurer, Director of Public Works and Fire Cbief are currently being studied by council members. They hope to have the complete adminis- trative organization complet- ed by December 15th and that will include such municipal positions as building inspec- tor, by-law enforcement offi- cer, animal control officer, etc. Support staff such as secretaries will be hired at a later date. A number of local boards, such as community centre, library and museum boards will probably also be resolved before January 1st, the date the new town of Newcastle officially comes into being. Inauguration Jan. 3rd The inaugural ceremonies for the Newcastle council members have been slated for Thursday evening, January 3rd, in the Bowmanville High School Auditorium. Mayor Rickard indicated that Prem- ier William Davis was asked to officiate at the inauguration but he will be unable te attend. This Saturday morning, November 24th, the seven council members will be touring the area to get a better idea of what buildings, office space, equipment, et ah, is available in the Newcastle municipality.

Tr ustee ls (From Page One) Jim Breckenridge, a Clarke High School teacher who, up until last week had acted as a spokesman for the local tea- chers, biunthy refused to commentbatnail on the situa- tion. When asked if the provincial executive of the teachers federation had taken over the negotiations for the local teachers, eagain replied, 'no comfment" Breckenridge finally yield- ed enougb ta indicate that a man named Frank Dillon would be the one to answer such questions and he was staying at the Chateau Hotel in Cobourg. Breckenridge would not identify Dillon any further. Dillon checked out of his hotel room at noon on Tuesday and was not available for comment. It is assumed he represents the provincial exe- cutive of the OSSTF. The Clarke High School teacher would volunteer no further information other than to say "They (the teachers' provincial negotiators) don't tell us very much." Board "Pleased" If nothing else, the tone of the communications from the board is distinctly less hostile. A pleasantly-worded release last week from trustee Car- man stated, "we are pleased to say that we've heard from the teachers and have agreed to a meeting." This is in marked contrast to the board's last release which charged the teachers with issuing "misleading and in- accurate" statements which were so "flagrant" that the board had to reply. i-l i pYi) North End Subdivision Finalized Bowmanville's Town Coun- cil signed a subdivision agree- ment with a builder named Dali Developments last week which will permit the Toronto firm to begin work on 38 homes in the north end of town. The agreement has been in the works for a number of years, according to Clerk-Ad- ministrator Joe Mcllroy, and hence will not put any unexpected strain on the town's water or sewage treat- ment facilities. The subdivision will be, located between Liberty and High Streets and will meani extending Sunset Blvd. through to High Street. All 38 homes in the development will be single family dwellings. Former Resident Wins Nassau Trip In Radiom Contest A former Bowmanville resi- dent, Mrs. Elaine Dittrick (nee Highfield), and her husband have won a two- week, all-expenses paid trip to Barbados from radio station CHOO in Ajax. Mrs. Dittrick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Highfield of Bowmanville, said she was completely surprised when the radio station called her to inform her of the good fortune last Thursday, November l5th. "We received a card in the mail from CHOO s0 we filled it out and sent it back," she said. "Our name was picked out of a drum with thousands and thousands of others." The couple will probably take their trip to Barbados sometime in March or April. They will receive $250 in spending money in addition to the rest of their prize. Mr. Dittrick is a tool and die maker in Oshawa. Good fortune must run in the family because Mrs. Dit- trick's parents won a trip to Nassau in the Bahamas about 10 years ago in a Canadian Statesman contest.
