The Senior Citizens held their weekly card party on Tuesday evening, the winners Two dollar parking, fines, in Bowmanville are not supported by merchants, the Chamber of Commerce or the general public, Bowmanville councillor Don Allin said Monday, January 30. "You're just getting another dollar out of the people when you fine-them," he said. Councillor Allin added that the parking fine system is already making enough money to pay its own way. He argued that the $2.00 fine is being imposed because persons from outside Bowmanville favor the higher fine., Although Bowmanville councillors Don Allin and Bob Dykstra voted against the stiffer fines, Newcastle council agreed Monday to enforce the present Town of Newcastle by-law which allows parking penalties of $2.00, $5.00 and $10:00. The two dollar fines cover minor offences such as failing to put enough money in a parking meter while the higher fine covers more serious infractions of the by-law such as parking in front of a fire hydrant. The Town of Newcastle's comrnunity services cornmittee is recommending that tenders be called on a fire truck that would be purchased for a Courtice fire station. At a meeting Monday, Jan. 31, the committee also voted to investigate details related to the construction of a fire hall building. Town Manager Albert Guiler told the committee that lawyers are working on final details connected with the town's purchase of fire hall property. The site of the new hall is north of Highway Two, on Trull's Rd. Newcastle Fire Chief Jim Hay- man said that the fire engine to be gurchâsed for the Courtice area will e a Class A pumper capable of carrying 600 gallons of water.

Phone 623-5683 The fines have been in effect since 1976 but neyer enforced in Bowman- ville, councillors learned Moniday. No one indicated exactly why the new schedule of fines has not been used. "What have we been charging?", asked Councillor Bob Dykstra.. "One dollar," replied Mayor Rickard. "How corne?" asked Councillor Dykstra. "Don't ask me, I've been trying to get to solved for the past two years," the mayor replied. Mayor Rickard added that during the months when fines for parking in Bowmanville were only one dollar, a person could have gone to court and escaped his penalty by arguing that there is no by-law to support the one dollar fine. Fines in Newcastle Village and Orono are two dollars, council was told. "We're not any more prosper- ous there than we are here," said Councillor Ted Woodyard. H1e also noted that if motorists obey-parking by-laws it doesn't cost an extra five cents to park in Bowmanville. The proposed Courtice fire hall would have storage space for up to four pieces of firefighting equipment and would contain office space, a meeting room, washrooms and workroorn facilities. It would be the town's fourth fire hall. At this week's meeting of the cornrunity services cornmittee, Chief Hayman recommended that the town depart frorn the traditional cernent block construction used on fire halls and build a metal structure. 11e said such a building would be eight to 10 dollars cheaper to build per square foot and he said it can be constructed in, a rnuch shorter period of time. Further details on the type of buildings and their costs will be presented at a meeting of the cornrunity services committee later this month. The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 8, 1978 1 'District Horticultural Society On January 25th, 1978, we held our annual pot luck supper at Trinity United Church Hall. The tables were decorated with arrangements of yellow mums. Some of the flowers were donated by Bev's Floral Arts. The members also had an opportunity to make a suitable arrangement named 'Taster's Choice. " In this class. Mrs. Jean Dykstra received first prize, and Mrs. Nelly Sul second. The various com- mittee chairman reported on their work, and we learned that we had a good year. On civic beautification we planted over 1200 plants, and inspite of unusual weather conditions, such as too dry during Dlantîne time. and verv wet during summer and fali, we had a good show of flowers. We also started a library on gardening books and at the moment have a number of 34 books covering many topics. During the past year we. enjoyed excellent speakers at our regular monthly meet- ings. We also held flower shows in conjunction with the meetings, and find that one doesn't need a perfect garden in order to make a simple arrangement, or even a few flowers and leaves!will do. Our main interest is to beautify our town in which we live, and get more citizens interested in gardening, indoor or outdoors. New members are always welcome, as we meet every third Wednesday eveming of the month at the Bowmanville Publie Library. We also support a junior garden club, under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. B.
