Familiar Characters in Enniskillen School Production 'Newcastle System Will Serve 10,000 People Approve $2.8 Wter Plant The Village of Newcastle will get a $2.8 million water treatment plant - probablv by 1978. The plant approved last Wednesday morning by Re- gional Council would serve a population of 10,000 and get its water from Lake Ontario. It is financed chiefly by a grant from OHAP (Ontario Housing Action Program). The loan is interest free, and the Region will not have to pay back the money for three years. Size of the plant was the main concern of Regional Council when it discussed the new waterworks1last week. Some Regional couneillors suggested that about half a million dollars could be chop- ped from the water plant proposal in order to build a more modest facility that would serve an estimated 5,000 Newcastle Village resi- dents. Councillor Allan Pilkey, of Oshawa, was one supporter of a smaller plant. He took exception to the extra $565,000 involved in the large scale waterworks, adding that the smaller plant would provide water capacity for a long time. Financial pressures at the present time dictate a pay as you go policy, the regional councillor suggested. However, Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard was one of the supporters of a larger plant. He said the extra money made good economic sense when you looked at the future development from a long range view. ,He suggested that in the future, it could be possible to supply water to areas such as Orono and Newtonville from the Newcastle plant. The Newcastle water plant will replace the existing wells now used in the village. The second well at the village has a nitrate problem and because of a potential health hazard, it won't be used unless there's an emergency. The motion to approve the plant passed council with a 14-9 margin. It was the second time the water plant was considered. Earlier approval had been given to the project at a regional council meeting Sep- tember 1, but the plant was debated again after a motion to reconsider was made. Works Commissioner, R.F. Richardson told council that the estimated life of the new facility would be 60 years. ~tatt~iu~n Volume 122 20c Per Copy BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1976 26 Pages Number 38 Among the cast of dozens at Enniskillen Public School's production of"Goofus and the Golden Goose" last Tuesday evening were Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy, played by Grade 6 students Robynn Ward and Sandra Avery.

The money is to go towards water mains and sewers in east Oshawa and Courtice. The project had cone before the council earlier in the year but had been deferred until the Region's official plan was completed. Regional works commis- sioner, R.F. Richardson, ex- plained that the new facilities would allow more homes to be built in the Courtice area in the future. And when all the projects included in the $8.3 million price tag are completed, a population of 30,000 would be possible in the Courtice area. Applications to allow for the extra financing will be made to the Ontario Municipal Board. Candidates Meetings Planned At least one public meeting with candidates in the Decem- ber municipal election bas been recommended by New- castle's Social Planning Coun- cil. The meeting will be aimed at providing an opportunity for residents to question the candidates on local issues. The council plans to discuss ie format, dates and loca- ions for any scheduled for- ums at their next meeting in October. Waverley ichool Proposed The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education has included a proposal to build a public school in the Waverley Gardens area in their capital building forecast this year. The board's 1975 forecast called for construction on the school to begin by 1977. The Ministry of Education has set Oct. 15 as the final date for acéepting this year's school building forecasts will be a farmers' market, a baked goods sale, rummage sale, homemade bread and honey products sale and a refreshment garden from I p.m. to 6 p.m. The Community Hall will close at 6 p.m. and re-open at 8 p.m. for the Oktoberfest celebration, featuring music by the Triolers, an interna- tionaliy famous German hand.- There also will be a free Oktoberfest stein, free coffee and a serving of German food included for each ticket pur- chaser. This event will contin- ue until 1 a.m. with dancing from 9. So, come one, come all for a great Oktoberfest cele- bration. Tickets are available from village merchants and they are selling fast. SR.

They also took part in the east-west game at Civie Stadium in Oshawa on Mon- day and outscored Oshawa Catholie in their portion of the game, but the west won the overall event 41_38. The Redmen play here, Friday after school at BHS against G.L. Roberts.

ROUGH WEEK - Sometimes we can mix things up without even half trying. Last week, we had one deceased gentleman being buried by the wrong funeral home. We also tried to give a boost to a 131st church anniversary in Nestleton, but had it taking place at the United Church instead of the Presbyterian. To date, nobody's complained about that one, so they must have had a good crowd at both churches. CHANGE OF NAME - Last night, the Bow- manville Lionettes were to become a new club, with a brand new charter. In future, they will be called Lionesses. Wonder who dreamed that one up? TYRONE AFLUTTER - That article appearing in last week's Country Courier, our sister publication, about citizens of Tyrone wanting more expansion, has apparently raised a few hackles from those who like the place the way it is. No doubt more will be heard about it as time goes on when the two factions meet head-on. Incidentally, some of the citizens of Newcastle Village didn't receive The Country Courier because we didn't have the right count to cover the village. That will be corrected this week, with the circulation boosted to more than 8,000. YARD SALE - There will be a Jamboree Yard Sale Sept. 23, 24 and 25, to raise funds for Bow- manville's ist Scout Troop at 45 Parkway Crescent. Many articles have been donated so there should be loads of items on hand to satisfy every purchaser. WARMING UP - The municipal and region elections have begun to stir up some interest locally, with new candidates appearing quite regularly as the December voting date comes closer. This week, there will be action on the provincial election front as well, when Dr. Bette Stephenson, Ontario's attractive Minister of Labor, speaks to Bowmanville Rotarians and then heads to Oshawa to open the PC's Area Office at 37 King St. East. All we need now is for the Liberals to come out of hiding and get underway, because there could be a provincial election almost anytime, and neither the PCs nor Liberals have candidates in the field. GOOD TUJRNOUT - We haven't yet received a report of the big anniversary celebration held oâ Saturday night in Newcastle Community Hall to mark Doug Moffatt's election to the Legislature, one year ago. From information inparted by Mr. Moffatt on Sunday at the' Change of Command ceremony in Oshawa, the' Newcastle ilaIl was packed to the doors and the evening was most successful. recom- teering ving the nsibility lth-care ng the finding oviding ovincial Another primary purpose for forming the health council was to reduce any unneces- sary costs caused by services overlapping with each other.

The Ward Three, Scugog Island councillor, Jerry Taylor and regional councillor Reg Rose have also declared themselves candidates in the upcoming election. Councillor Don Frew earlier said he would withdraw after finishing his term this year, leaving only two councillors, Neil Hunter and Bob Brink- man to yet announce whether or not they will run for council agan.
