2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville April 21. 1976 Mosport Racing Season Gets Underway Sunday With First Bulova Races by Doug Taylor Although the 1976 racing schedule at nearby Mosport Park officially gets underway this coming Sunday (Apr. 25) with the opening round of the Bulova Championships, East- er Sunday's sunny skies drew a variety of competitors to an open practice session. The event, held annually the week prior to the opening of the Bulova series for Formula 100's and 2.5 litre sedans, provides not only an opportun- ity for the competitors to ensure their machines are in proper working order and their personal skill retained, but for the handful of faithful race fans a time to observe and photograph a wide range of race vehicles. Every imaginable size and shape of cars turn out to the practice session ranging from the small Formula "V" open wheel cars and "C" class Mini sedans to Formula "B" and Formula 5000 and the larger sedan breed such as Camaros. St. Marys Wins Tourney In these days of violence in sports, it was a pleasure to be at Darlington Arena on Satur- day to watch six -games of hockey during the first annual St. Marys Cement Hockey Tournament. There were few penalties, all of a minor nature, aid every game was one you would not have been afraid to let a young child watch. The reslîts were as follows: North Hollywood Approval by council of a request from the Maple Leaf Rally Club was deemed by one town official Monday as possibly just the break that could turn Newcastle into a northern Hollywood. The request of the club was to aid in the filming of a television commercial for a Canadian oil company on a town road which Fred Baker, a club spokesman explained would take place just north of Leskard on April 23, which of course is this Friday. Dykstra Favors (From Page One) He insisted that even with a major shopping centre the downtown area would always be retained and supports putting the shopping closer to the people. 'Mr. Dykstra based his argument on the fact that Oshawa, which has had shop- ping centres for many years, has not suffered in the downtown area but that in- stead the competition makes for better business. Chamber President Tony Brand agreed that if Bowman- ville is to become a central shopping core for the Town of Newcastle it is necessary to look ahead and provide facil- ities as a magnet. He reminded however that the controversy is that people will be attracted to the magnet and not the downtown area. The apparent concern of the chamber directors which Mr. Brand outlined at the begin- ning of the discussions is that the 60,000 square feet of commerical development at Highway 2 and Simpson Ave- has been approved along with another 22,000 square feet in redevelopment of the old bus station site which they felt was sufficient. The directors did not feel that the town could support additional proposals in the Waverly Road - Baseline area for development of a centre of 150,000 square feet. Mr. Dykstra concluded his comments by asking the chamber "who does the shop- ping". The answer of course is the "lady of the house" and he therefore suggested that if a survey were taken of the housewives that 80 per cent would be in favor of a shopping centre.

Bob Dykstra agreed that the majority of traffic should proceed by Martin Road and Highway 2 to eliminate heavy traffic from the residential area but suggested that a dual sign indicating both routes is the ideal solution. C of C President Tony Brand requested Coun. Don Allin who was present at the meeting, to take the matter to the town's Works Department for their consideration. There also continues to be apparent confusion for visit- ors exiting to Bowmanville from 401. This was though by the Chamber to be the result of the "Town of Newcastle" sign preceding the mileage sign designating Bowmanville and some uncertainty by those at the meeting whether the Waverly turnoff mentions Bowmanville. Coun. Don Allin gave assur- ance that some of the con- fusion will be eliminated with the coming change in New- castle's name to Township Area or Borough, which he stated will come. was the investigating officer.

The fine was $25. on each count and costs, in default distress. Public Shows (From Page One) cutbacks have delayed the start of construction at Dar- lington by 24 months, Mr. Fitchett explained that the Environmental Assessment report, first released in April, 1975 is still being updated. One section of that study will be devoted to community attitudes, but the question of how to gather the data is not an easy one to answer. "The opinions of the com- munity go into the final report which is submitted to the government. Cabinet approval is not a foregone conclusion, because we just can't fight city hall." For their part, council is determined not to let the Town of Newcastle 'get the short end of the stick' in regard to the Hydro station. Though it is unlikely that there will be a referendum on the issue, last month the Committee of the Whole came out in favor of a citizen-orient- ed, full scale, provincially organized public hearing as a prelude to the town taking an official stand on the plant. Presently, a liaison commit- tee is being set up to examine the Hydro scheme, though terms of reference and guide- lines have yet to be defined. According to Councillor Kirk Entwisle, council is taking a neutral stance, neither supporting nor op- posing the proposed gener- ating station at this time. Mayor Garnet Rickard feels that the local council should be restricting itself to dealing with municipally related sub- jects and leaving the highly technical data to higher gov- ernmental officials who understand it. Other responses to the proposal have been sporadic, though in February a spokes- man for Energy Probe was invited to present an opposing view to the Hydro plans at Darlington by the Town of Newcastle Ratepayers Asso- ciation. About 50 people at- tended the session. A recent survey by Doug Moffatt showed that 313 people favored an independent sur- vey of the environmental impact to the Darlington station. 176 respondents were not in favor of the study and there were 81 who were undecided. Nine Injured (From Page One) by Ludwig Trinkaus of Water- loo. The first impact with the St. Denis vehicle caused the Hare vehicle to bounce back to the driving lane and collide with yet another; a '73 Olds driven by Alan Gordon House of Belleville. The House vehicle then went out of control and was struck from the rear by two vehicles, a '76 Ford operated by Mary Rita Coady of Mississauga and a '69 Dodge driven by Ross Horace Coupland of Cambridge. The Tong vehicle, the ap- parent cause of the mishap, escaped with a mere $300 damage to the rear end and is reported owned by Can- American Auto Lease at Toronto International Airport. The '73 Olds of Alan House and the '76 Ford of Mary Coady were both totalled in the collisions while the St. Denis vehicle sustained $1,500 to the front and rear, the Hare vehicle $1,200 to the left front and rear, the Trinkaus vehicle $500 and the Coupland $1,000 to the front. The only injured party ad- mitted to Bowmanville Mem- orial Hospital was a passenger in the Coupland vehicle, Mary Coupland, 46, of Cambridge. She was later reported in satisfactory condition while others were treated and re- leased. A second four vehicle mis- hap also occurred as a result of the first, a short distance west of it. A '75 Toyota operated by Christen Hansjorg of Toronto is reported to have stopped due to the accident ahead and a second vehicle, a '73 Pontiac driven by Errol Barry Baker stopped behind it, with a third vehicle, a '75 Dodge driven by Alfred E. Sheridan, age 55, of Pickering also stopped be- hind. Then the collision came when a fourth vehicle, a '75 Plymouth operated by Lucy Pearl Sheridan, age 21, of Pickering, struck the rear of the other Sheridan vehicle, pushing it ahead into the Baker vehicle which in turn moved ahead into the Hans- jorg vehicle. The Hansjorg, Baker and Lucy Sheridan vehicles each suffered damnage of $500 while the Alfred Sheridan vehicle's damage was estimated at $1,200. Stalled and overheated vehicles are also reported to have added to the road clearing difficulties and it was after il a.m. before traffic flow had returned to normal.

She's adapted to our national diet of hamburgers and french fries (which she maintains is begin- ning to show) and now chews gum like a real native. Janet is presently staying at the home of Don Morris and attends Grade 12 classes at Bowmanville High School. Among the major differ- ences between Palmerston North and Bowmanville, she noted that her home town is a busy city of 80,000 whereas Bowmanville is a small place with a more relaxed life-style. The scenery is very different too, While this area of Canada is flat, back in Palmerston North, the terrain is quite mountainous. According to Janet, we also break the New Zealand traffic code by driving our cars on the wrong side of the road, and use multi-lane highways in contrast to the more common 1wo lane thoroughfares in New Zealand.

Graduates Waverly Sign (From Page One) advising that in his opinion none of the applications appear to be going to improve Bowmanville as a central shopping area in the Town of Newcastle. He suggested that the vari- ous small plazas, such as the one now beginning to function on Waverly Road, will aid the weekly shopping, primarily in groceries, but not provide any major drawing card like the larger centres in locations such as Oshawa. There apparently are two applications for general com- mercial development of 150,000 square feet, one of 34 acres on the west side of Waverly Road on the Baseline and one of 38 acres on the Baseline east of Waverly Road. Both applications are cited for areas that are presently zoned for highway- commercial and would be phased development. The developers have requested that their application be forwarded to the OMB for adjudication. In addition, Mr. Brand advised that approval bas been grated for the 60,000 square feet of development at Simpson Avenue and Highway 2, half of which is to be accommodated by a super- market and the remainder by miscellaneous retail outlets, while another 22,000 square feet will be provided by the redevelopment of the old bus station site on King St., which has also been approved subject to the developer's site plan. Mr. Brand explained that C of C Vice President Pat Gould, unfortunately absent on vacation, feels that the chamber should simply forget about these various ap- plications and commence to concentrate their efforts on the downtown area. He believes a committee should be formed that would insist that the municipality provide funds through taxes for improvements to side- walks, roads and so on which would help in making the downtown area more attract- ive. Dykstra and seconded by Don Allin that a committe be formed of chamber represent- atives and the proper munici- pal officials to discuss the availability and feasibility of parking space and lay dow n some guidelines. As to the matter of plazas- themselves, the chamber re- solved to forWard a brief to council advising that they favor a shopping centre but request of the town, more co-operation in the downtown area primarily for parking and sidewalks, and that the chamber will attempt to keep a closer liaison with council.

Bob Dykstra heartily supported that formation of such a commission, comment- ing that he believes parking is what has been lacking in the downtown core and that it is time for the municipality to take the initiative. Mr. Manuel urged that consideration be given to staying away from meters in offstreet parking as shoppers can feel much more at ease, and probably stay longer, if they don't have to rush back to feed the meter. It was moved by Mr.
