2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 2, 1977 Plan ne r (From Page One) now a municipality of 32,000, said Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard. He pointed out that hard services being installed in the ground will accommodate 50,000. And with expansion in the plan- ning department, the municipality expects to save money that it has previously spent on consultants. "We've gone too far in hiring consultants. We've spent enormous sums there," said Mayor Rickard after the council meeting Monday. While the expanded planning department may not mean the firing of consultants already hired by the town, Mayor Rickard said new projects may be dealt with by local staff rather than outside firms. Near Riot (From Page One) escaped custody in the confusion. At the Bowmanville High School a window was reported broken, police said. Struck By E No injuries to the public or police were mentioned by spokesman for the Durham Region Police Force esterday. However, the Statesman as learned of one bystander who was taken to hospital after being struck in the head by an egg. Eighteen year-old Jeffery Lunney, of 37 Rhonda Ave., Bowmanville was hit near the eye while standing at Brock's BP station near the cerntre of town. Knocked out by the impact, he was taken to hospital in Bowmanville and later transferred to Oshawa. Both eyes were blackened and he has a hairline fracture of the cheekbone as well as possible damage to one eye. He was released from hospital in Oshawa but will have to return. Another incident was reported from Liberty St. North where pranksters were reported to be standing alongside the CPR tracks on top of the subway and pelting apples at pedestrians and vehicles passing by. A girl said an apple went whizzing by her head, missing her by inches.

Firemen were summoned to Burketon to extinguish two heaps of burning tires on the main street. Five separate occurrences were reported at Hall Two (Newcastle Village). Chief Hayman said bottles of gas and wax were ignited and thrown into garbage and leaves on Church St., Wilmot St., and King St. There was little damaget Shortly after 10 p.m., a small shed in the village was on fire but the flames were brought under control with little damage. About an hour later, volunteers were called to Newtonville to put out another fire that was burning in the centre of a road. No fire calls were reported at the Orono Hall. Quiet According to reports from the Ontario Provincial Police, Hal- lowe'en was relatively quiet in areas surrounding Bowmanville. "It was the usual apple-throwing, egg- throwing type of night," said a police spokesman in Newcastle. Residents of the Tyrone area saw one unusual sight the morning after Hallowe'en. Pranksters picked up three picnic tables at the Tyrone Community Hall and stacked them on the roof of the building. A Tyrone resident told the Statesman that he thought the trick was very funny but he suggested that the same culprits who put the tables on the roof should take them down. ells eus FLOWERS DRIED .FRESH .TROPICAL .GREEN PLANTS 3 ST RES: .

Commissioner of Works On Saturday, October 22nd the Solina Community had a party at the hall to honour two couples who had been married in the spring and summer season. This time it was two of our young Football Stars- namely James Baker and Boyd Knox. When a goodly number were present, cards were played for entertainment. Then Wesley Hills, in his most personable manner, asked the two couples to come to the front and be seated where chairs had been placed for them. Before they came up, Wes got everyone in a hilarious frame of mind by telling jokes about newly married couples. This was vastly entertaining. When the couples, James and Sherry (formerly Morrison) and Boyd and Marjorie (formerly Fraser) were comfortable, Mrs. John Knox was called on to read an address to James and Sherry. Jean in her usual gifted manner, read a nicely worded letter to James and Sherry. She concluded with wishing them congratulations and best wishes and a long and happy life, James replied and thanked all who had a part in geting this party arranged and said it was greatly appreci- ated by Sherry and himself. Then. Mrs. W. Yellowlees was called on to read her (From Page One) commented on the fact that the matter went through council unchal- lenged. Neither councillor could recall any debate or discussion on the wage issue when council approved salary increases. Both councillors agreed that they had promised the elector- ate they would not support extra pay for council during their campaigns last year. Councillor Don Allin said he would contribute his additional salary to some kind of charity but Councillor Dykstra said he will make his own decision on how he will spend his OPp (From1 increase for councillors," Mayor Rickard stated. He added that studies conducted by a private consulting firm indicated that Newcastle council is underpaid even after salary hikes have been considered. Prior to the increases approved by the Newcastle municipality, wages for councillors were 14 per cent below the average wage in similar municipalities. "The mayor's salary was 24½ -per cent behind," Mayor Rickard pointed out. Still Behind With the increases suggested by the consulting firm of Currie Cooper and Lybrand, the councillors' remuneration will be 3.8 per cent behind five other municipalities used as a comparison. The mayor's salary will be 13 per cent lower. Mayor Rickard said the study compared Newcastle with the extra money. While he didn't support a raise for councillors, he said he didn't think he has to give away the added money he is now being Daid. He said he has no objections to seeing salaries of elected officials blished in newspapers. He added, owever, that he had some reserva- tions about seeing salaries of individual staff published. The Bowmanville councillor agreed, however, that the amounts paid to all municipal officials should be available for the public's informa- tion. uosed Page One) remarks to Boyd and Mar- jorie. They followed the same theme as Jean Knox's. Ada especially mentioned Boyd's sports ability and how much Boyd had assisted Solina in this area. Also he was such a popular young man among old and young alike and his personality would always be liked. Both of these young men had similar traits and we hope they'll always come home to Solina. Boyd also gave a fitting response and thanked every- one. Just like magic, the stage curtain was rolled back to disclose two beautiful chair and table sets as the main gif t. Each also received beautiful cut glass vases as well. Pictures were taken by of the couples by Bruce Taylor. A social time followed and a delicious lunch was served in the lower hall. The village W.I. Group with Mrs. D. Flett ani Mrs. ii. Pascoe, and West W.I. Group with Mrs. R. Davis in charge, served a delicious lunch. Kendal U.C.W.

Discuss School Boundaries Northumberland County council- lors left a meeting with the Board of Education to discuss boundaries last Tuesday night with a favourable outlook on the present system. The meeting called b ythe council to have the Northumberland and Newcastle board present their rationale for continuing with the present jurisdictional borders was a success from the board's standpoint. The council was told in a report by the administration that the New- castle area and Northumberland County are both equally sharing their burden of taxes from education costs. Citing Ministry of Education figures, Northumberland County with 14,000 pupils and the Town of Newcastle with 7,500 combine to make an ideal size for operating a large board, the administration report shows. If Newcastle joined the Durham Board of Education it would create a board with over 52,000 students and result in a decline in the quality of education in Northumberland, the report adds. The information presented to the council also indicates the students would suffer most if jurisdictional boundaries were changed in any way. How Raises Solina Community Honors Newlyweds .e_ 00,
