2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 10, 1978 Marnwood Nursing Home Celebrates 25th Anniversary The Canadian Order of Foresters informed council Monday night that it is tired of waiting for a decision on the proposed senior citizens' complex and is prepared to go to the Ontario Municipal Board for a bearing. However, council tabled the matter pending tbe outcome of a meeting between councillors and Goodyear officials. Two delegations approached council, Milt Dakin and Joe Sehwartz;t,, asking the town to decie one way or another on the pro- posed amendment to the town's official plan which would allow the construction of a senior citizens' complex and low rental housing near the Goodyear plant. "We asked last September and we're finally getting through in May. We want action," said Mr. Dakin, who was representing the Foresters. "I've had meetings with the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the Ontario Housing Corporation and we're prepared for an 0MB, hearing. We see no problem and if Goodyear objects, well, we have our rights and they have theirs." Mr. Dakin told council that he believed that there were people in Bowmlaniville lun eed of accommodation and that these needs should be met. He claimed that the senior citizens had paid their way and the low income people deserved more than traffic and streets for a home., He stated that he was also worried that the money the Ontario Government had made available for the project may not be forthcoming if council continued to procrast- inate on the issue. "I've not heard from Goodyear that it's going to pull out of Bowmanville just because we put up a senior citizens' complex", Mr. Dakin said. "We're talkiug about the rights of people and council as got to make a decision Mr. Schwartz asked that council "get on with it and not pass it on from week to week." Councillor Jasper Holliday suggested to Mr. Schwartz that a buffer zone be provided between the senior citizens' complex and the Goodyear plant. This zone would be occupied by light industry and was designed to eliminate St. Andrews 144th Anniversary No Decision on Costs From Page One After both applicants had been given opportunity to rebut the arguments given by Progeny Development's representative, Ian Lord, Mr. Couch and Ann Cowman, who represented a citizen's group, the board entertained suggestions on the conditions which should be laid down on approval of the application. Mr. Couch/stated that the City of Oshawa did not want to make any recommendations on the grounds that it did not have the mechanisms to enforce them if they were adopted. He did, however, go on to suggest that the drainage works if approved be designed to allow, drainage into the drainage basin in existence prior to the approval and that the developer supply the money for the water and sewage works. He said that then, monies collected from the levies would be reimbursed to the developer and if they could not be collected the region would not have lost the money. "I have the temerity to request this because I don't want to see Oshawa having to pick up the tab for 62 per cent of the uncollected levies," Mr. Couch said. "If you're going to gamble on a long shot, don't gamble with our money.' Mr. Lord had three suggestions as far as conditions were concerned. The applicants believed that two of his conditions were already covered within those submitted by the Ministry of Housing and that his third, which required the developer to pay for expropriation costs if expropriation was required, was rebutted by Mr. Willms. Raise Sports Fees From Page One Marnwood Nursing Home celebrated its 25th anniversary onSaturday, May 6th, with a reception in the room which was the drawing- room of the "Southey House." Invitations had been sent to the doctors and relatives of the residents, and to as many former members of the staff as could be located. Special guests were Mayor and Mrs. Garnet Rickard, Councillor R. Dykstra and Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Walker of Toronto. Mr. Walker is executive director of the Ontario Nursing Home Association. Also invited were long term friends of Marnwood, the staff and of course the residents. The reception room was decorated with the many gifts of plants and flowers, and a buffet table of refreshments. Mrs. Ruby Trull, Mrs., Keitha Alldread and Mrs. Irene Hetherington, all former nursing supervisors, poured tea, which was served by the staff who acted as hostesses, and as guides for those guests who wanted to tour the nursing home. Bill Cobban Jr. was master of ceremonies, assisted by his two brothers, Jim and Rob. In his address of welcome, Bill gave a brief, humorous history of Marnwood as recalled by a young man who grew up there, and then asked Dr. E.D. Hubbard to say a few words. Dr. Hubbard, who has been advisory physician for Marnwood almost from its beginning, paid an impressive tribute to the role the nursing home has played in the community since 1953. Mrs. Peggy Hornigold, a member of the staff since 1960, presented a handsome serving tray to Mr. and Mrs. Cobban on behalf of the volunteer group of whom she is the leader., On behalf of the staff, Mrs. Myrna McCullough, nursing supervisor, presented a silver gallery tray and wine stand, and a very fine and original pen and ink drawing of the nursing home and grounds. Mr. and Mrs. Cobban would like to express their apprecia- tion to the many friends who attended, to their staff who made all the arrangements, and to the ladies of the Eastern Star who provided an attractive assortment of refreshments. some of the objections made by Goodyear. Mayor Garnet Rickard informed council that he had been in contact with Goodyear and that a meeting had been arranged for this morning between council and Goodyear in Toronto. Councillor Bob Dykstra suggested that the matter and the re-zoning be handled after that meeting. Council agreed with this suggestion. the cost will be a straight $15 an hour. The town is also retaining the right to open the canteen on any rental. Committee members were inter- ested in producing a definitive fee schedule similar to those offered at other halls in the area. Mr. Fanning stated that he was displeased with council's previous reactions whenever he proposed raising fees because he believes council always came back and complained that he wasn't generating enough revenue from the sports complex. The major change in arena rental fees for the Bowmanville and Darlington Sports Centre is in the prime time allotment. In the past, prime time was between 5 p.m. and midnight, this year it will be between 5 p.m. and 6 a.m. Users during prime time Willpay $35 an hour while users during other times will pay only $25. Registration fees are also in- creasing this year. Hockey registration has jumDed Police Keep Busy with Accident'and reak-ilns A car accident that caused $2900 damage and a break and enter in the village of Newcastle were the major items dealt with by the Durham Regional Police in the past week. Friday night, Bruce Colwell, proprietor of D and R Sports, and John Gallos of Scarborough, were involved in the weekend s worst accident.

The con- gregation was reminded of the debt it owed to the faith and vision of those pioneers, who, despite the lack of the material wealth we enjoy today, went ahead and built a church. The morning service was a service of music with The Living Hope Singers bringing to us the Gospel Hymns that are familiar to all of us. This Group sang during the Oshawa Festival Week, and are well known for their ability to bring alive the old and the new in church music., St. Andrew's was pleased to welcome the minister and many members of the Ukrania nPresbyterian Church in Oshawa who joined' witb us on this special occasion. The evening service had as its 'soloist Mrs. Lloyd Ayre who is always a welcome visitor at St. Andrew's. Together with the Choir of our Church, this festival of music continued. Our minister, Rev. James Gilchrist, spoke on "You are the Church." He reminded us that the age in which we live is impressed by names and by numbers. If having large congregations and many important people in your church is a sign of success, then Jesus must have been a complete failure. His congregation dwindled away until he had twelve left, and none of these were intell- ectuals or important names in the community. We were reminded that it is the ordinary people in the Church who do the work and meet the Church's Budget. When Jesus said, "Ye are the Light of the World" he spoke directly to each one of us. The demand in the Church is for individuals who are willing to dedicate their lives to the work of the Kingdom. When someone catches a glimpse of Christ in us, the Kingdom of God becomes very real and the- work of the Church continues as God is brought very close to us. Our sincere thanks to our choir leader, Miss Leta Bragg, and the members of our Choir for their ministry of music, and to all who helped to make these services such a rich and joyous blessing on our Anniversary Day. On April 29, at the annual Scouters Appreciation Night, Mr. Donald Heard, Assistant Cub Leader at 1st. Hillcrest Cub Pack was presented with his 25 year pin for continuous and faithful service to the Boy Scout movement. At a time when the average service of a leader is 9 months, Don's contribution to the movement is even more outstanding. Starting in 1952 with the loth Oshawa group, Don moved to West Durham District in 1965 and worked with lst Hillcrest. From 1968-1971, he was District Commissioner and then returned to Hillcrest where he continues to take a very active part. Don, who also holds Scouting's Medal of Merit, is also Chairman of the 10th Oshawa Group Committee. Mrs. Carol Zinck, Akela of lst Hillcrest and herself a Scouter for 23 years made the presentation. Prior to Don's Presentation, other people involved in the Scouting Movement in West Durham District were also recognized. Mr. Ross Bragg and Mr. Jim Lunn were presented with Thanks Badges. This is a badge given to non-uniformed people for outstanding contributions to the movement. Mr. Robert Nicholls, past District Com- missioner, was presented with a set of bookends as a thank you for bis leadership while he was D.C. by Mr. George Charland, current District Commissioner.

FLOWERS DRIED FRESH TROPICAL .TR Op c A L .GREN PL A NT S 3 STORES: . Highway No. 2 King St. E., Oshawa Siimcoe St. N., Oshawa from $25 to $50. Some councillors suggested that this may mean that children from larger families would be unable to play hockey, but Mr. Fanning defended the figure, stating that the ice time will be double what it was this year. It was the director's contention that the amount the taxpayer was subsidizing community sports such as hockey, baton and figure skating had gotten out of line. He said that this year it was close to 80 per cent subsidy with the users paying the other 20 per cent. These new fees are designed to get the ratio back into line. Several councillors concurred with this reasoning, stating that taxpayers who do use the facilities should not be subsidizing those who do to such an extent. The only other activity area where fees took a large jump was in senior figure skating. The fees have gone up to $60 from $35. Mr. Fanning stated that this was still below what many other municipalities were charging. 20% One hundred years ago in 1878 "H.M.S. Pinafore", an operetta whose words were written by William Gilbert and put to music by Arthur Sullivan, was produced in England. Surely it was en- joyed then no less than the excerpts from it were enjoyed by the audiences and the performers on May 4th, 5th and 6th at M.J. Hobbs Senior Public School. The staff and students and anyone who helped with the production may be justifiably proud of the results of their efforts. The "Admiral" welcomed the audience on Thursday evening with zest and the sparkle and fun were stili in the air when Saturday night's crowd dispersed. Mrs. Mary Ruth Moore directed the music and accompanied at the piano, but the Programme is full of names of hardworking people like the stage crew, advertis- ing, ticket sales, make up, many staff helpers, and the understudies, who all contrib- uted to a vivid production of fine entertainment. Courtice Secondary School Band Concert was held on Saturday May 6, 1978 at Bowmanville High School. The Junior Band gave an excellent performance including the "Viceroy Overture" by Robert Bowers and "Sunset Meditations" by Maurice Taylor. The Stage Band was very popular with their music with the "big band" sound. The Intermediate Band played "Highlights from Fiddler on the Roof" arranged by John Edmondson, among other favourites. The Senior Band provided something for every- one by playing classical selections through to the modern day styles. Included "Light Cavalry Overture" by F. Von Suppe, "Eiegie Heroique" by Healey Wiilan, "I Write the Songs" by Barry Manilow, "The Hustle" by Van McCoy. A gratifying audience gave a standing ovation following the Finale by the combined Intermediate and Senior Bands. On Wednesday evening, May 3rd, three one-act plays were staged by the Courtice Secondary School Theatre Arts Class in Bowmanville High School auditorium, "Nobody Sleeps", "Adapta- tions" and "The Witches". The students did the directing, acting and producing under the supervision of their teacher, Mrs. Kathy Coverly. At the Euchre Party on Friday evening it appears that the locals gave no ground to visitors, with Lorna Swain taking lst place, Jack Cook 2nd, John Broome 3rd and Earl Prescott 4th. Orval Watson broke the trend with sth place. Ladies low Ginny Johnston, Mens low Gladys Potts. 25 tables were in the shuffle. In the recent Kiwanis Music Festival held in Oshawa Blain Vaneyk was awarded a first place andaa second place in male vocal selections. RECOVER YOUTH's BODY The body of a Bowman- ville youth, Lenny Hollister, was recovered from the Humber River on Sunday by North York . firemen. He disappeared on April lst while attending a wedding in Woodbridge. Humber canoeists spotted the body on the riverbank and alerted authorities.

ENQUIRY NOT NEEDED Durham East MPP Sam Cureatz feels that the charges of overspending, bungling and wrongdoing made by ratepayers groups in the Town of Newcastle do not warrant an enquiry by the province. In the Legislature this week in his address on the budget, he did stress the urgency of tax reform to do away with inequities.
