Lion Majer is a member of the Newcastle Lions Club and a former president of the club. He joined the Newcastle Lions in 1969. In his speech to the Bow- manville group, he stressed that service to the community is an important part of Lionism. He spoke of the need for new members, noting that "New members of the life blood of any Lions Club." But, he also stated that the quality of the new members is more import- ant than the quantity alone. Mr. Majer urged Lions should be on the look out for service minded individulas who are willing to be available when there is work to be done. He said that standards of the club should be such that a new member will feel proud that he has been asked to join the world's largest service organ- ization. Time Travelers Rod Club Wins Awards at Show The Time Travelers, a Bowmanville-based street rod club, entered eight cars in the 18th annual Speed Sport cus- tom car show, held last weekend in Toronto, and proceeded"to win an amazing total of 14 individual and club awards. These included class awards of 4 firsts, 1 second and 2 thirds. Six special awards were taken, as well as Best Club Display, which the Time Travelers won for the third consecutive year. The Time Travelers have now won a total of 33 awards at the Speed Sport show in five appear- ances, not to mention literally dozens of other awards won by the club and its members at various shows and rod runs. From a modest beginning in September of 1972, and al- though small with a maximum membership of 13, the Time Travelers car club has be- come well known and respect- ed throughout Canada and the United States. Members cars range from, 1928 to 1950 Blizzard (From Page One) nothing serious happened," he added.

But, with motorists strand- ed everywhere, he said the Bowmanville fire station had "umpteen million" telephone calls. Tow Trucks Busy In the north, Orono Towing reported about 34 damaged cars had been taken to its yard during and after the Friday storm. With undamaged cars added to that number, there were about 64 vehicles in the Company's yard, according to Albert Munneke, the owner of Orono towing. He said that in the 10 years he has been operating the business he has never seen a similar situation. Brock's BP tow trucks were busy all night and were still pulling out cars from snow- banks on the weekend. • Bob's Towing, west of Bow- manville, reported a similar number of wounded or aban- doned vehicles. One of the people on duty Monday said she took a picture of the cars because she couldn't believe her eyes. Stranded Buses Charterways Limited, the company which operates close te 50 school buses, reported that it wasn't until the middle of Saturday afternoon that all the buses were finally off the roads. This was in spite of the fact that schools had been closed three hours early on Friday evening so that the students and buses could get a head start on the weather. Jim Youngman, a dispatch- er at Charterways, said that most students finally made it to their homes although six or seven buses "went down" in the storm. He said Charterways mana- ger Archie Groth would like to thank the drivers and the parents who took care of about 75 students who didn't get home Friday evening. At Bowmanville and New- castle Village, there was literally no room at the inns. Hotels Full People were sleeping in the lobby of the Flying Dutchman Friday evening and there were people in the banquet room and board room. The cafeteria was jammed, ac- cording to a hotel receptionist who said that the 57 rooms at the hotel were booked full. At the Port Darlington Marina, people were every- where, according to Mary Gill. Mrs. Gill said Monday that during Friday afternoon all the exists off 401 were blocked and the only place travellers could go was south to the Marina. "I would say we had 150 people in here at least," Mrs. Gill said. She said three couples who had never known each other before found themselves shar- ing one room. She said one gentleman who was stranded without any money, offered to wash dishes in return for his lodging. (He was finally able to make other arrangements to pay his bill). "It was fantastic how people co-operated," Mrs. Gill said. She added that the staff received no complaints and nobody was in a hurry. But, while the professional innkeepers had their hands full, a few non professionals also helped to lodge stranded travellers. Shelter at Church Reverend John Peters of Bowmanville's Trinity United Church said that regional police asked permission to use the church hall to accommo- date motorists. At one time, he estimated that there would have been at Tragic Fire Results in Death of Newcastle Couple Blackstock Once again old man winter has done a great job of blocking some of our roads and making driving hazard- ous. Sympathy is extended to the family of Mrs. W.W. Van Camp who passed away last Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Chester Graham, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Feltis, Chyrl, Peter and Randy of Dalrymple and Mrs. C. Graham were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Kelly and Girls. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Bob Williamson on the arrival of their baby son. Poor weather conditions postponed the Agricultural Society meeting with John Bradshaw as guest speaker. It will be held Thursday Febru- ary 3rd. Hopefully our weather will be calm by then. A speedy recovery to Mrs. Stanford VanCamp and Mr A view of the house in which Mr. and Mrs. Green died on Tuesday afternoon when fire broke out in the living room. The house is located on the Lovekin farm near Newcastle. Fire was confined to the one room with smoke damage throughout the entire building. 1100 Unit (From Page One) This money would come from the Ontario Government in order to help offset the cost of the housing development. Council was told that a letter of release on the draft approved subdivision would be needed before the money would be available. While the grants are uncon- ditional and can be used as the municipality wishes, they could offset the cost of building a library, fire hall, extra recreation facilities. The planning Administra- tion committee and town officials were also told that the construction of about 1100 units may take place over a four to five year period. However, Ian McPherson, a planning consultant with Courtice Heights Develop- ments, said the exact dates on least 50 to 60 people at the church hall including a bus load of students from Etobi- coke and motorists from St. Catharines and Toronto. The UCW served food, a few games were found in the hall and used to keep the people amused. The busload of students left later in the evening when the roads improved slightly but Rev. Peters estimates that about 10 to a dozen people slept on couches and the floor of the hall Friday night. "We'll have to work out a plan in case it happens again and then pray that it doesn't" Rev. Peters said. The soup was on at the Salvation Army Citadel on Division St. as travellers were fed and sheltered. About 25 homes--many of them provid- ed by Salvation Army mem- bers, were made available for people who wanted to stay the night. One family that spent the evening stranded in Bowman- ville was from Washington D.C. Captain Perry said, In Newcastle Village, fight- ing the storm turned into a community effort. Open Fire Hall The village fire hall was opened for two busloads of students from the Kendal and Orono areas plus one Voyager Colonial bus from the 401. Firemen's wives and others from the village provided coffee, sandwiches and hot chocolate for the stranded people. "Newcastle's like that,' said Marion Glanville, the wife of the village fire chief. "I've never seen a storm like that in my life," she added. For a while, the fire hall took on all the comforts of home as a few portable TV sets were installed and some- one produced a record player. Some of the students did a little dancing. Even two dogs were stranded at the station with their master. As the evening wore on, some of the stranded students were picked up by parents, some people were billeted in homes in the village and the Voyageur Colonial Bus made its way back to highway 401. About 10 people stayed in the fire hall overnight. But there is one more interesting part to the story of the hospitality at the New- castle fire hall. The people who spent the evening there took up a collection of just over $65 for the Fire Department's ladies auxiliary--a gesture that proves generosity works both ways. Deputy chief Sam Brereton said the fire department would like to thank everyone who helped out at the fire hall last Friday evening. Newcastle's community hall was also opened as a shelter last week. An estimated 100 people were fed at the town hall. No matter how you look at it, last Friday was an unusual day and people will probably be saving up stories about the 1977 storm to tell their grandchildren. when the project is completed will depend on the housing market. Four residents who will be living near the proposed subdivision said last night that they were concerned with how the development will effect their existing homes in Cour- tice. George West, a resident on Prestonvale Road, said he was concerned that the develop- ment would result in a lower water table and a lower water table would dry up his well and the wells of his neigh- bours. Wells in the area are very shallow, he told the group-- some of them only 12 to 19 feet deep. He also wanted to know whether or not the Courtice residents would have to pay for the extra cost of hooking up to municipal water and sewers if this became neces- sary. Barry Johnson, a Courtice resident on Nash Road, said he wanted to know if residents would be given the benefits of the OHAP money. Ed Knowlton, another resi- dent on Nash rond, said he was concerned that the proposed subdivision would resuit in a lack of privacy because houses would be build behind his property. He said he was willing to move away from the area because of the subdivision. Former Darlington council- lor, Ann Cowman said she would like to see council consider the drainage prob- lem of the area. She noted that an earlier study on development in Courtice has estimated that $6 million worth of drainage would be needed in order to allow development. Finally, a brief from the Central Lake Ontario Conser- vation Authority advises that woodland and a small stream in the southern subdivision area should be preserved for recreation area. Robert Messervey, a repre- sentative of CLOCA, said the authority recommended that the property be re-designed in order to accommodate this parkland. That issue has been left unsettled although n motion adopted by council last night states that staff will meet with CLOCA in order to resolve their concerns. Bylaws (From Page One) water main project with a price tag of slightly over $1 million. O.K. Bowmanville Project The Bowmanville water pro- ject includes a new intake and modifications that will double the water production at the Smart Avenue Site. Capacity of the plant will expand from two to four million gallons per day, ac- cording to reports from the regional works department. Similar reports on the Courtice-Oshawa watermain state that a 24-inch pipe will run about two miles from Oshawa's Grandview St., along Trull's Road to Nash Road. A 16-inch pipe will run about half a mile down Trull's rond, to a point south of Highway two. Of the three projects, only the $2.8 million water supply facility was debated last Wednesday as councillors dusted off old arguments both for and against the proposal. Open Debate Councillor Jim Pottiéary re-opened the debate when he suggested that the building of the waterworks be referred to the planning and development committee for further review. He said he couldn't agree on spending $2.8 million for services to 1,200 people. Later in the discussions, Mayor Rickard stated that the 1200 figure was incorrect, pointing eut the current popu- lation of the village is 2,400 and under officiai plan guide- lines it could rise te 7,000. Cost "I'm having problems justi- fyng the cost," said Oshawa councillor, Alan Dewar: He stated that the cost of provid- ing water for a projected population of 5,000 in the village would amount to $2,100 to $2,300 per household. Councillor Dewar described this as "an awful price to pay for water." He suggested that perhaps the size of Bowmanville should be increased rather than including extra develop- ment in Newcastle. He also suggested that the region should consider area- rating the cost of the facility so that taxpayers in the entire Durham Region wouldn't have to pay for it. Smaller Plant Oshawa Councillor Allan Pilkey suggested that a smal- 1er plant should be built in order to save money. In further discussions on the water works, chief adminis- trative officer, Bob Richard- son, indicated that a délay could be dangerous because a contract has to be awarded by March 31 if the plant is to qualify for an interest free loan from OHAP (Ontario Housing Action Program). He added that when the plant was approved by council earlier, consultants began to work on the design of the project. All four Newcastle council- lors voted in favor of the plant on the third reading. Barn Burns Near Tyrone Fire levelled a barn about three miles east of Tyrone Sunday night causing an estimated $15,000 damage. Two Australian Shepherd show dogs perished in the fire. Items of riding equipment worth an estimated $5,000 were also destroyed along with about 1800 bales of hay. Seven horses stabled inside the barn were rescued before firemen arrived on the scene. Fire chief Jim Hayman estimated the value of the barn at $5,000 but he said it would cost much more than that amount to replace it. The barn was located on the former Dick Gibbs property and fire chief Hayman estim- ated that the building was probably built in the 1800's. Chief Hayman said the fire was reported by AI Fraser, who is a tenant living on the property. The owner of the property is Thomas Martin, of R.R. 1 Port Perry. The fire was reported about 6:45 Sunday evening. Guest Speaker What do you do when you climb the ladder of success as a policeman, a detective, and then a Sergeant Detective, and find that you are not satisfied with life's answers? This is Ken Leech, a former Detective with the British Police, who is presently visit- ing the Oshawa Free Metho- dist Church, Trull's Rd (Dar- lington 15). During the investigation of a tragic rape-murder of a young lady, Ken was made to realize that there were some basic answers te the question, "What is life all about?". Ken met and found God in a wonderful way. This Sunday night, Sunday, February 6 at 7 p.m., Ken will give his life story at the Free Methodist Church, Trull's Rd. S. Pastor David Dyer recounts that, although, he has heard the story twice before, he is again looking forward to hearing this gripping story again. People from the com- munity are invited te corne and hear this unusual and fascinating story of a man whose life has found real meaning and purpose.
