2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 22, 1978 From Page Orie) NEWCASTLE ARENA- Got some good news last week courtesy of the Durham-Rye Joint Investment group. That organization managed to produce an impressive $10,000 contribution to the New- castle Village and District Arena Fund. EASTER SEAL CAMPAIGN - Local Rotarians have advised us that the annual drive will run from March lst to April 2nd this year, instead of ending with Easter Sunday. In the Bowmanville area the target is $10,000. Last year local residents contributed $6,700 and over half the amount went directly to local youngsters. The Ontario Society for Crippled Children has an overall objective of $2,500,000 in 1978. HYDRO WANTS YOU - To visit the Darlington Generating Station site on Saturdays to discuss the details of the planned project. If you have not examined what is proposed by Hydro, you owe yourself an opportunity to do so. This Saturday the centre will be open from Il a.m. to 2 p.m., with similar hours for the following two weeks. If enough people appear, the Saturday schedule will become a regular event. The information centre is open on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and on Thursdaysfrom noon to five p.m. The centre is that white bungalow on the east side of the hill, south of the Holt Road overpass on the 401. LOTS HAPPENED - Last weekend was certainly a busy one! The front page of section two has pictures of several events that took place. Others are scattered throughout the paper. We managed to cover most of the events, but were unable to track down the two Bowmanville Rotarians, Morley Watson and Fred Beaucage, who ran-in the Port Perry Snowmobile Marathon on Sunday.:We went, but discovered very quickly how similar in appearance hundreds of snowmobilers ioo when bunched together. FINGERS CROSSED - This has already been one of those weeks you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy, and it is only Tuesday evening. Last we.ek we acquired a brand new and very expensive film processor that is guaranteed to improve our production dramatically. It doesn't. Some of our pictures have turned out in semi-beautiful fashion, and some haven't turned out at all. Various printing presses and other mechanical equipment have broken down, fortunately one at a time. The hot water in the building has disappeared, and the Managing Editor is about to. If you were ex- pecting something early this week, don't. We'll be more than satisfied if you get to read the Statesman and the Independent by Wednesday or Thursday. ROTTEN BUSINESS - Where did everybody go last week? Local merchants are amazed at the way people are staying away in hordes over the last few days. It seems as though more Bowmanville area residents are-in Florida than in Ontario. Let's hope they decide to come back. Two more weeks like this and we'll all be taking advantage of this great land's generosity. LICENCE BUREAU - For those of you who lhave not made the annual trek, some words of advice are forthcoming. First, remember that the office is relocated at The Statesman Centre, just west of our offices on King St., opposite Dykstra's and D&R Sports. Secondly, the hours have been extended to all day Wednes- day and all day Saturday in addition to the regular days. Third, do it now, the lineups still aren't too bad. Ministeria.lMessage COMMON SENSE with CHRISTIAN COMMITTMENT By Rev. Tom Gracie Every once in a while as I talk to some teenagers it seems that they don't have any common sense at ail Take, for example, the way that they "fall - in - love". Now WE know that this is not real love. In fact we usually de- scribe it, quite patron- izingly perhaps, as "puppy-love". That in itself should be enough of an insult, for we, with our ex- perience, know that puppies are not only cute - they are disobe- dient, destructive, and just plain messy!!! We know, as adults, that "puppy-love" also seems sometimes to, result in disobedience, (mostly in relationship, to parental wishes); destruction, (in rela- tionships with other friends now ignored); and sometimes in just one big mess. 1 The teens do not see it that way. They are really blind to the faults of the one they are 'in love" with. Their love, imperfect as it may seem in our eyes, allows them to see only the good, the positive, the eautiful in the other p erson, (and often we now that even this is, exaggerated). This "puppy-love" allows them to have real hope for the future in spite of common sense and past experience. It lets them see beauty where we see only chaos. It speaks to them of hope where we see only problems. But then, when I say that, I guess it some- times seems that Jesus doesn't show any of our common sense either. For in a way He told us to act just as these teenagers are.. . - To love the unlovely, and see beauty where others cannot. - To have hope for the future where others see only problems, to believe that all things work together for good for those who love - - - GOD. - And to give and love, in spite of common sense and past experience. - To be "Childlike" in our experience of the faith and love of Jesus. Now we know that those teens who experience "puppy- love" seem to lack common sènse; but I wonder if their experience is not more in tune with the Scrip- ture than our practical, common sense ap- proach is. Perhaps our problem is that we have too much of this world's common sense, and not enough of the "Blind love" ' or "puppy-love" experience in our faith. "TO GIVE AND NOT TO COUNT THE COST: TO FIGHT AND NOT TO HEED THE WOUNDS: TO SERVE AND SEEK FOR NO REWARD: SAVE THAT OF LOVING THEE" This may not sound like Common Sense - but it is very Christian . Members of the finance and administration committee went behind closed doors this week when they talked about the town's need for new municipal office space. A report from Town Manager Albert Guiler estimated that New- castle needs about 20,000 square feet for municipal administration. "For the past few months I have been reviewing the need for a consolidated municipal administra- tion complex and feel that the time is rapidly approaching when this municipality must either lease a new complex, purchase land and build our own building or purchase land adjacent to the present town hall in Bowmanville," Mr. Guiler said. "Under our present situation we have been applying band-aid measures to try and accommodate our growing staff-requirement pres- sures and even with the three-year lease of the Bell building, we have only partially cured the problem," he added in a written report. "I guess basically we're spread out over a number of buildings and it looks as if we could improve the efficiency of the operation if we were under one roof," said councillor Jasper Holliday. Councillor Holiiday is chairman of the finance and administration committee. The question of more municipal office space was referred to an in-camera meeting because council- lor Ted Woodyard said he had some information of a confidential nature to contribute to the discussions. The town manager recommended that a committee be formed to study the municipality's office space requirements and submit a report within three months.

The meeting was opened with the 4H Pledge and Motto. We then took up the roll call which was "the beef I prepared for home activity and why I used that particular method of cooking." Our discussion dealt with three main topics which were 1. wise buying, 2. meat inspection in slaughterhouses and packing plants, 3. grading It will cost just under $9,000 to change the former Bell Canada building on Church and Temperance St. into a municipalbffice building. The town's finance and adminis- tration committee recommended this week that a tender of $5,600 be accepted for drywall and other items needed to build the extra offices. 37 King St. West In addition, an electrical tender of $3,370.02 was recommended for acceptance by Newcastle council. "The tenders do not include flooring or painting and we will get prices on this work later this week, said Town Manager Guiler in a report to the committee Monday night. More Apts. on King St. W. Pictured above on the left is the winner of the St. Joseph's Catholic Women's League T.V. draw, held on Saturday, February 11, Mr. -Ralph Campbell, of R. ,R. 4, Bowmanville. Mrs. Kay Stevens, from the Participettes drew the winning ticket and Mrs. Marg Shea, president of C.W.L. was the seller of the winning ticket. (From Page One) In his report on the King St project, Mr. Howden noted that there is already an over-supply of new commercial floor space in Bowmanville. "Nevertheless, we feel that the King St. frontage should be developed for commercial pur- poses," Mr. Howden said. Instead of four small stores on the ground floor of the building, the town's planning department is recommending that one larger store be built. "We have enough small stores in Bowmanville," Mr. Howden told the committee. The proposed apartment building would have 56 units. Downtown Bowmanville should be the commercial centre for the whole town, Mayor Rickard said Monday. He added that as development occurs in the north and east, he doesn't expect large commercial growth to occur there. Instead growth in the centre of town woukd be encouraged. Referring to the abundance of commercial space in new downtown buildings, the mayor said "there may be a surplus now. . . but you need that to take care of residential development." Town Prods Province on Regional Plan Elected officials are urging the Province of Ontario to approve the Durham Region's official plan immediately. Newcastle councillors held a special five-minute council session Monday afternoon to pass a resolu- tion urging the province to speed up its official plan decision. The resolution has the unanimous sup- port of all Newcastle councillors and will be forwarded to the provincial housing ministry. The rare council meeting took place at the call of Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard who suggested a resolution aimed at expediting the official plan's approval. The official plan was passed by Durham Region Council on July 14 but has been awaiting the Housing Ministry's stamp of approval since that time. The Durham Plan is expected to guide development in the region until the year 2000. At Monday's special council meeting it was noted that local planning is difficult. because an official plan has not been adopted at the regional level. Portions of the resolution which council will send to the province say that "the Ministry of Housing has had more than a reasonable amount of time to review and approve the Durham Plan." The resolution adds that delays in $100,000 Homes (From Page One) period. "I am assuming that this is a 12 to 15 unit per year market in Bowmanville," he said. In addition to granting draft plan approval, the planning and develop- ment committee recommended that subdivisions be designed to accom- modate a green belt area along a creek valley on the property. Restrictions on the use of this valley area were recommended and the committee suggested that the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority enforce the restrictions on land use. The committee's recommendation must still be approved by Newcastle council when it meets next week. approval have created "a great deal of perplexity when dealing with development applications in our municipality." Time delays which are "costly to all parties involved in the development process" were also noted in the resolution. Referring to the Durham official plan, Mayor Rickard said!"it is not perfect but if we get it passed then we've got something to work with." "At the moment, you've got totally no framework we can build on,' commented councillor Bob Dykstra chairman of the planning and development committee. PD Day Draws 500 Teachers Over 500 public school teachers spent last Friday listening to fellow teachers and taking notes at Bow- manville High School during a professional development day pro- gram. It was a change in role for almost 'all of the educators representing schools from across the Northum- berland and Newcastle jurisdiction from Courtice to Campbellford. Taking sessions ranging from leadership roles in values education to a review of curriculum at the elementary level, the teachers chose from 38 seminars that were offered from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the day. The professional development day is organized by the teachers' federations each year to allow teachers to look at the latest in curriculum ideas, methods of instruction and various ocetipational techniques. $20,000 Damage in Crash A truck that overturned on Highway 401 just east of Liberty Street on Saturday morning has' been assessed with $20,000 in damages. The truck is reported to have flipped after the driver attempted to pass a car and lost control. It rolled over in front of the weigh scales, blocking both lanes of westbound traffic. Carl Bilow of Kingston was driving a 1974 Ford carrying another pick-up truck from an automobile beef and the brandings that represent the grade. Mrs. Loveridge demonstrated "swiss steak" and the proper way to carve a roast of beef. We enjoyed sampling the swiss steak, while we briefly discussed our skit for Achieve- ment Day. The meeting was then adjourned. Twenty and a half tables were in play at thé Senior1 Citizens euchre party Friday,i February 17th.
