2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 15, 1978 Bowmanville's community con- servation centre on King St. held an open house last Friday, with coffee and cake available for visitors. In this photo, Jeff Gold, project leader at the centre, shows his daughter Robin, the inner workings of a wood-burning stove. The stoves and a solar energy panel were on display in the front windows of the conservation centre.' In addition, the centre has books for persons interested in browsing through the latest information on energy conservation. There are also brochures and pamphlets available. One of them is a government publication, lists 100 ways to save energy andmoney in the home. Jeff Gold sai Friday that the greatest interest so far seems to be in the area of home insulation. A display on different methods of insulating houses is located inside the centre. Mr. Gold said that the centre hopes to start community projects that will continue after t h e facility has completed its work in the Bowmanville area. One of the goals of the centre is to establish community gardens and another goal is to start a recycling program. "Everything that's now called garbage actually has a value," Mr. Gold explained last week. For example, glass has a value of $28 per ton, corregated cardboard boxes are wortli about $40 per ton and newsprintis worth $60 to $80 per ton, Mr. Gold said last week. He added that recycling "reduces the need for expensive landfill sites which are in short supply." Cu GP OnháP e eI Canada's pros will play for the largest purse, $100,000, ever posted for a national tournament with the exception of the Canadian Open, when they stage their Canadian Professional Golfers' Associa- tion championship in Vancouver this year. The CPGA and the sponsor- ing Labatts have combined to present a new fornat for the, one major tournament to be scheduled outside of the Toronto area this year.. "We will invite the PGA champions from around the world plus three or four other speciai invitees to take part in the tournament," said CPGA executive director David Zink, a former pro at Bowmanville Country Club. The CPGA and Labatts will work with officials of the Mark McCorm- ick agency in Cleveland to attract some of the big names of the golf world to play at the Shaugnnessy course in Van- couver August 17-20. Although the new format has drawn some criticism,,, particularly from the two- time defending chamion George Knudson, Zink said that a lot of thinking and development had gone into the planning for this year's event. He listed 11-points which the CPGA had considered before instituting the change - most of them revolving around an effort to improve the quality of play in the event, the problem of redeveloping interest, among spectators and the upgrading of the tournament for the sponsor. "There is such an exposure on TV today, that we must provide an outstanding oumament in order to kindie the fans' interest", he said. "Without it, we are approach- ing the day when the tourna- ment will no longer attract a sponsor." Under the old format, he said the golf fan had stayed away in droves and it was FKeGm Firths 5 Franks 2 The large crowd only saw one game Sunday morning but it was a beauty. The teams traded goals in the first 2 Deriods and it looked like it could be a tie until the Meat Machine went to work in the final minutes of the game. Franks jumped into an early lead when Boyd Knox blasted one from just inside the blue line that beat goaltender Clint Trimble, JimBurtch and'Rory Gibbs assisting. Franks tied the score when Rowe tallied VL U N T E SE R S to work with people under e motional1 stress. Inforination Session Wednesday, Ma rch29th 2 - 4 P.m.

Bob Howes tied the score with Joe Burns drawing the assist. The teams then played 20 minutes of scoreless hockey as Franks' needed only the tie to take the series and seemed to let Firths bring the play to them. The Meat Machine did just that and scored 3 goals in the final 4 minutes to force the final game next week. Steve Hogarth and Fred Braybrook each assisted on 2 in a row less than a minute apart by Sandy Brown and Bob Howes. Laurie Gay then put the game away with Joe Burns drawing the assist. The final game in this series goes next Sunday morning at 10:00. Don't miss it! becoming increasingly difficult for a sponsor to justify the large purse and promotional expenses. "Primarily, our association must make some steps to promote the game of golf," said Zink. "That is the purpose of the association. This new format will give Canadian. pros a chance to play with sore of the world's best players. "For many of our members, it is the only opportunity they will have to play with such quality opponents. And if a Canadian should win, it will certainly elevate the quality of our efforts in the public eye." He said the new format would make it easier to sell the event to television sponsors and would develop press and media interest. "We are the only body in the world that does not make its PGA championship available to outstanding players from foreign countries," Zink added. He said retention of the old format would be a backward step and eventually result in the failure to attract a sponsor, fan interest and appropriate courses on which to play a national champion- ship. This year, a minimum of 125 Canadian players will round out the field. Final details havestill to be worked out as to how the Canadian entries will be determined, possibly on a provincial allotment basis with branches providing qualifying tournaments. Kindergarten From Page One whether there is a vacancy in a kindergarten class, the policy states. The change, was given full support by trustees from the eastern side of the jurisdiction. Noting that it was a positive step that other boards were also taking, Director of Education Frank Thom said that the screening test was simple and would identify the children who were "reasonably mature". The admission age was lowered to accommodate the increasing number of parents who believe that their children were ready for school at an earlier age than regulations allowed added Bob Moorcroft, Superintendent of Instruction. There are an estimated 200 children in the jurisdiction who will now be eligible for admission to kindergarten under the revised regulation according to administra- tion projections. Flexible Policy Ward One* trustee Sîid Worden, however, warned the board that parents whose children are denied early admission to kindergarten because of the test will question the golicy when a neighbor's child egins school at 4/z years of age. Countering Mr. Worden's com- ment, Port Hope Board member Sheila Parker maintained that no child should face discrimination because another chld was till to young for school. The test that each child will take is designed only to prevent children who are unprepar- ed for school to start too early, "I think a number of things have chan ed in the last few years," she N chools and television havue help to equip children for school at earlier ages, she contend- ed. The board should be flexible enougl to allow a student who enrols in kindergarten and shows signs of failure to drop out if parents and teachers advise, she suggested. Cobourg trustee Ian Wilson also argued that the change was a step in the right direction. "Kids really are incredibly versa- tile and able to cope with things," Dr. Wilson said. Mary Brown Novices Win Three and Tie One On March 9, the Novices travelled to Port Perry to play their Novice team, coming away with a 5-3 win.
