2 The Caniadian Statesman. Bowmanville, August 13.,1975 'PueËblito^'OÛffersRKayof Hovpec For 200û Costa Rican Children by Liz Armstrong Vast0 numnbers of homeless and hungry cbldren roamn the streets of Costa Rican cities searching through garbage for food anid sleeping la doorways, covered only by newspapers and cardboard boxes as night cornes. Tbey 're known as the 'abandonados' and dire pov- erty, disintegration of tbeir families and lost hope bave left them destitute. The Costa Rican Cildren's Aid Society is able to help abouit 300 of these cbildren, but native resources are not extensive enough to break the tragic cycle o f abandoament and give geater aumbers of these cildren a benîthier, bappier and more secure Amercian country, a Cana- dian named Peter Taconl perceived tbe great need and decided to gather resources to belp alleviate the situation. . The result is "Pueblito"',, a cildren's village now, under construction in the town of Paraiso, 20 miles from the capital1 city of San dose. Pueblito will be ready to accept its first 64 children by Christm-astime this year, anid by 1978, the village will be borne for 200 abandoned Costa Ricans between the ages of 7 and 14, At Monday evening's Lions Club meeting in Bowmanville, John Hockin and Deborab Watkins of Toronto were on biand to publicize the project and explain its goals. Witb the aid of sldes, Mr. Hockin, told the club members that the village will receive $500.000 of Canadian aid during its first two years of operation, and thea ovýer a five year period tbe cost of tbe oneration will , radually be transferred into the bands of tbe Costa Iticans. The finisbed village will be an agricultural co-operative containing 25 bouses,' a recre- ation centre, a bealth clinic, administrative offices and a playing field. Te cbildren will live la single family units of wood and tin with four bedroorns, and be part of a family group of 6-8 wîtb "adopted" parents. Initially, the co-operative will produce vegetables, fruits, coffee, bananas, cbick- ens and pigs, and every cbild, youtb and aduit, including visitors and outside volunteers will be expected to contribute to the work. The cultural environment in Pueblito will be entirely Costa Rican, and any Canadian living and workîng in the village will be expected to adapt. Mr. Hockin pointed out Guest Speakers at Lions Club Dinner that the project had received many offers fromi volunteers, but the real need is for financial assistance at this tine. Approximnately $200,000 bias been raised for the vTillage so far. Mlr. Hockîn and Mliss Watkins have spoken to about 26,000 people about Pueblito here in Ontario, an-d though ,their approachi is definitely not bard seil, in mnany cases the response bas been tre. mendous. For Stratford, Pori Hope and Cobourg, Pueblitc bas becomne a town func raising project.

TWO DRY RUNS Fireinen in Bowmanville lost no time in answering a caîl that camne in Saturday night about a fire burning at the rear of Beaver Lumn- ber, King St. East. Apparently, a neighbor hiad noticed smioke or flamies from a barbeque or bonfire that some resideats of the area biad started for a cook- out, and turned la the alarmi. On Tuesday afternoon, a car caughlt fire at the corner of King and Scugog, but the blaze was extinguished when firemen reacbecd the scene. Debbie Watkins and John Hockin of Toronto, spoke to the Lions Club Monday night about a Canadian-sponsored aid program in Costa Rica. "'Tueblito" is thxe name of a children's village whicfl wîll provîae nomes, education, health care and security for 200 abandoned children. Further information is available from 230 Bloor St. West, Toronto. Townh i(From P. development."- M/r. Howden advised tbat tbe "small amnount" is defined as "not more tban 10 per cent of t he Urban Residential Areas" whicb may be used for "medium density residential uses sucbý as rowhousing." The planner expressed satis- faction on his part that tbe Dies in Car, (Froni Page One) wbicb now forms the main street of Pickering. There, it struck a fire bydrant on the nortb side of the street, glanced off the front'steps of a funeral borne, bit a~ grocery cart and a parked car. At this point it, broke inito flames, trapping the driver. Lightning (From Page One) was the tree that bad been bit but states he has neyer heard a bang as loud in bis life and was sure sometbing close had fallen prey to the storm. *The lightening did not split the tree but rathe-, striking at the top, spiraled its way downward, peeling off large cbunks that were carried across the street by the force of the boit, One of several chunks, measuring close to tbree feet ln lengtb and at least four incbes across, was thrown some 300 feet over tbe roof of tbe residence across the street fromp the Tilicock's and landed on tbe roof of the first bouse wbicb fronts on Cole- man Street. Mrlt. Tillcock, tbougb some- wbat concerned tbat tbe tree mnay die and bave to be removed, is pleased tbat no one was burt by tbe incident and be, personally bas no desire to be that close again. Fortunately for tbe tree, tbe ligbtening dîd not follow its patb to tbe ground but apparentlY jumped to bydro linesp art wýay down and was tbereby carried to tbe ground by a ligbtning arrester. Tbe surge bowever caused the timing dlock on tbe Tillcock's stove to stop and tbeir downstair's television won't work. ther nearby neighbors bad several fuses blown and another claimed a dead tele- phone. Mr. Tillcock bas requested the PUC to examine t he tree for safety and estimates its age to be around 100 years. It stands at tbe bigb p oint of the area and is one of thbe tallest in tbe town.

The works departmnent also advised MrHowden tha! the Region is studying the possi- bility of an interim upgrading of thie existing well wbicb "miay or mray not provide for additional capacîty in the systemn." Mr. Howden advised thlat on that batsis it was requested by tlie wýorks de- Sa rtment that the application etabled pending comipletion of a Development Sehedule and its approval by Regionial Couincil. The PUC for the village advised tbey would be. in a position to supply electrical r~ ower to the proposed town- louses. According to the Newcastle Works Departmient, the sani- tary and water facilities for the village are almnost comr- pleted and the Region bas assumed responsibility for the systemn. It is expected they will require certain charges for, coninection of the develop- mlent to the systemn. Also, as Manvers Rond is a Regional Rond, certain building regula- tions are likely to be enforced. The Newcastle Building De- partment are of the opinion that townhuuse developoîients sbould be totally contained within the property and stated their objections to such plan- ning. Tbey advise By-Law 73-15 makes no provision for townhouse construction as no RMI zone exists in the village at present. Mr. Howden comrnented "there are severail issues which miust be resolved in the consideration of thi1s prposai, namnely the atdvisa bility of introducing townbouse units in tbe village, the desirability of tbe partîcular site for town- bouses and finally, specificýl design details.

Provincial Constable Doug Martin is investigat- ing the robbery. capacity becomes available", Mr, Howden feels a limited number of townbouses would be appropriate for tbe Village of Newcastle altbough at a lower proportion than in larger cenitres and scattere tbrougbout tbe village for easier integration into the community. On the matter of the suit- ability of the proposed site, t he Big valuie on bathroom tissue! 8In planner indicates that "al- tbougb Manvers Street is a Regional Rond, tbere are no restrictions on road access within tbe village" and as only five units could be accom- modated there, creating no significat contribution to the volume of' traffic, be can see -"no real impedimnent to tbe rezoning of the site for townbouses." Tl'le applicant proposes con- struction of seven units, four facing George Street and tbe other tbree fronting on Man- vers. How,ýever, Mr. Howden reports tchat the configuration of the lot coupled witb zone requirements, if RM1 is ap- p roved for tbe villa ge, allows ~or on ly five units, al fronting on Manvers Street. T'le Proposed RM1 zone provisions for townhouse development would require a minimum lot area of 2,4100 square feet per dwelling unit. Normal units would require a m1inimum 20 foot frontage and corner lots frontage of 45 feet. Front Yard Deptb would bave to be at least 25 feet, Exterior Sîde Yard Widtb 25 feet, Interior Side Yard Widtb 1,5 feet, Rear Yard Depth 35 feet and Dwelling Unit Area 900 square feet. Landscaped open space would be required at 30 per cent and lot coverage an equal mninimium of 30 per cent. building beigbt could not exceed tbree stories. Twenty-five feet wvould be required for privacy yards, 1.5 par king spaces per dwelling unit, a driveway of at least 10 feet and not more thian 30 feet for access to tbe Parking Area and a miinimumLin of 50 feet between tbe driveway en- trance and the intersection of street lines. Mir. Howvden recommended the approval la principle of the application, subject to the zone provisions,bDut included in bis recommendation tbat the applicant be advised "that the developmnent of town- bouses be considered pre- mature until we are advised that sufficient water supply is avaîlable. mi EE SAVE 30e~ 'Trac Il' blades 9%.
