T ~he Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 18, 1976 Kendol'c and Oshawa Juniors Play First Game Under New Lights at Orono Park Last Wednesday night, Kendal Junior Royals and Oshawa Legion played the first bail game under the recently installed basebali lights in Orono Park. Oscar 'Bud' Rolph, sponsor of the Kendal Royals, had the honor of throwing the first bail with Frank McCallum, formerly of McCallum Transport doing the batting. Bud wound up but his first pitch was low. Top photo at right shows his second throw with Bud putting so much into it that our cameraman couldn't stop the action. It wasn't too fast for Frank though, his bat met' it head on. Later, the two youngsters shook hands to congratulate each other ontheir performance. In the thîrd picture, the teams are in action on the field with darkness almost upon them except for the lights that were illuminating the playing surface. We heard later that Oshawa won the game. Kiwanis Disbands Th ' Bowmanville Kiwanis Club' has voted to close their charter in the town after a unanimous decision by tbe board of directors on Monday nigit, Aug.16. The decision which is ef- fective as of August 16, 1976 marks the end of 14 years of -~service in the community by Sthe club. With the club's non-meeting status, however, they will continue to meet informially on the second and fourth Mon- days of each month for a sports nightwith some of the boys at the Pine Ridge School. The club was established in 1961 under the direction of Oshawa's Westmount Kiwanis Club and had a membership of 25 at one point in their history. A decline in, membership over recent years was an important factor behind their decision to disband. Arena Repprts (From Page One) The Orono Fair Board is to ,be notified of the council's decisiofl and' couneîl plans to arrange a meeting with the board at a later date. Meanwhile, the hockey play- ers, figure skaters, council members and anyone else with an interest in the fate of the Bowmanville and New- castle arenas will have to wait. They will have to wait about three weeks, according to Newcastle Mayor, Garnet Rickard. That's the length of time lie expects it will take for the new arena report to be finished. But after Monday's meeting, the mayor said, "I tbink that by tbe first of September we should have some answers." Hie added that by mid-Sept- ember, the councîl should have a definite idea of what sort of repairs or rebuilding must be done. Mayor Rickard said, the firm of Totten, Sims, Hubicki was engaged because of its experience in a rena inspec- tions and because they bave a FLOWERS *DRIED *FRESH *TROPICAL GREEN PLANTS 3 STORES: çj Highway No. 2 King St. ýE., Oshawa Simcoe St. N., VA E£Oshawa staff of structural engineers. He also said that the firm was selected to be the town's municipal enfgineers in resolu- tion passed by council in 1974. But while the engineers investigate, there is uncer- tainty about what will happen to hockey and figure skating programs this wînter. This year, the Parks and Recreation Department will publish a brochure on winter recreation programs. How- ever, Parks and Recreation director, Bud Fanning, told a, meeting of the Recreation Advisory committee Monday niglit that matters relating to hockey programs will be deleted from the brochure. He said that wlien hockey scheduling was done, the possibility of operating with- out, the use of arenas in Bowmanville and Newcastle wasn' t considered. However, he told the com- mnittee. that scheduling of ice time- at the arenas will be finalized as soon as -the department bas some idea of which arenas will be operating this winter. But the recreation depart- ment isn't the only organiza- tion having trouble witl scliedules now tbat thé arena situation is undecided. In Newcastle village, pro- fessionals have already been hired to conduct a figure skating program and, the intermediate C hockey team mnust make a decision on scheduling. I'm just wondering what we are going to do if the arenas are out of commission?" ,Counillor Ann'Cowman said Monday evening at the meet- ing of the Recreation Advisory committee. She said she was wondering what the children in the municipality would do- for recreation. She suggested that perhaps the bulible being built at the civic fields in Oshawa could be rented' by the town for such things as soccer or track and field. SIf the "worst" should hap- pen --- inother words, if two or three arenas in Newcastle should be forced to close down this winter, it is possible that the buildings could operate without their roofs, as outdoor rinks. However outdoor. rinks would not be suitable for some hockey leagues such as the Junior C teams which require an arena from which they can operate. In addition, an outdoor rink would provide a shorter skat- ing season. Arena supervisor Roy Neads, wbo was also at Monday nigbt's Recreation Advisory committee meeting, said outdoor rinks would be good only for the months of November to Mardi. Soccer Championship Trophy The winners -in the Newcastle Recreation, Department's Junior Soccer League piiayoff game at the Pine Ridge School this coming Saturday, Aug., 21 will receive, the Tyrone Cup Champion Soccer Trophy. League organizer Ton y Day above holds the trophy donated by Byam's Plumbing and Heating in Tyrone. The league's semi-finals for 7-10 year olds start at 10 a.m. on Saturday. W"FiI Explore (From, Page-One) close the arena after, an inspection found that the building would be unsafe during heavy snowfalls and in higli winds. The members also revealed their determination- during the meeting ta hold the fair wlietlier the arena which lias been the centre for variaus dispînys in the past, is used or closed down campletely. A motion was also made for the fair board ta prepare ta rent tents if the cost of the repairs go, above a recom- mended imit. The society also voted ta explore the possibility of obtaining an injunction tat pastpone the closing of the' arena until after the fair is over. The legal move would be based on the possibility that the findings of the first inspection done by the engi- neering firm of Leigliton and Kidd wre incorrect. Lockout (From Page One) wasn 't qualified ta judge the liealth hazards ta students if the nurses remain lacked out. liHowever, lie said, many important services will be hast without nurses. In addition ta the swine flu vaccinations, the public liealth -nurses do disease detection, eye and hearing checks and inspections of student liealth records in the sdliools. Mr. Reid said teachers and principals' would try ta take up thie slack'left by the.nurses. But, lie said lack of public Lealth nurses would create a 'dicey" situation. Nurses Concerned Public health nurses are also concerned witli problems created by the lockout. Mrs.' May Leguard, a spokesman for the locked out nurses, said she lias beard ;ome residents express con- cern that the swine flu vaccinations wouldn't take place. Normally, it would be the ob of the public healtli nurses to set up clinics for the vaccinations. Mrs. ý Leguard said she didn't think the liealth mnit would let the public go Wîthout the, vaccinations but lie said some arrangements for swine flu clinics wouhd have ta be made soon.
