He was welcomed to the club by Neale McLean. The purpose of the Rotary Foundation is to deveiop world understanding with the high ideal of wold peace as a prime motive. A contribution to the foundation is considered an investmnent in the future. Gary Fîtchett, a Rotarian from the Oshawa Rotary Club, was nominated as leader of a Group Study Exchange trip to Brazil which was funded by the Rotary Foundation. He reiated his experiences of his recent six-week tour of the country when he was guest speaker at the weekly meeting of the Bowmanville Rotary Club last Thursday at the Flying Dutchman Moton Inn. Mn. Fitchett, who was introduced to the club by Neale McLean, was part of a six-man team who represent- ed this area's district, The other five men on Mr. Fitchett's- team were not Rotanians but -were selected because of the reputation they have gainied as outstanchng businessmen. The oniy definite requirement tliey had to meet was that they had to be from,25 to 35 years of age. Their study trip took them to the state -of Parana in Brazil where the men were given tours of the farms, schools and businesses of the country. They were also given the chance to enjoy many of the tourist attractions of the state of Parana. The main objectives of the exchange trip were for the six men to learn about Brazil for their own benefit and to spread tho3 resuits, of the findings to Canadians. They were also to tell the Brazilians about our country. The Rotary Foundation sponsored the entire trip. The Rotanian families there pro- vided the men with accommo- dation and food. Families from this district hosted in the same manner when a team of men from Parana were visit- ing Canada in April and May of 1977.

Letter to Editor R. R. 2, Newcastle, Ont. 25 Juiy 1978 Mayor Garnet Rickard - Town of Newcastle Dean Sir - Certain stonies are being heard around the area con- cerning the condition and operation of the Swimming Pool facilities in the Village of Newcastle and the town of Bowmanville. If the stories are correct it would appean that drastic action must be taken immediately to ensure that the pools are being maintained pnoperly. It is undenstood that be- cause certain people did not turn off the water supply and drain waten fnom the buildings connected to the swimming pools, a very considenable amount of damnage was caused by pipes fneezing. In fact, it is understuod that wals have had to be torn down and large amounts of piping have had to be nepiaced. Not too long ago a member of the Town of Newcastle Recreation Department necommended that heating units be put in the buildings so ifhaitâ hewater Would înot freeze duing the winten. It amazes me that last winten was the first time this type of damage showed up. I don't recali having a mild winten sînce the pools and buildings were built, so pos- sibly there is another neason why evenything froze up. Could it possibiy be that someone in the Recreation Department eithen forgot to turn the waten off and drain the pipes or was just too lazy to do the job properly? The swimming pooîs have been in operation for three yeans now and there seems to have been no pnobiem prior to this past winter. As you will know, the Lions Club of Newcastle worked hard and long to provide the Village of Newcastle with a good swimming pool facility. In addition we had the wading pool and the tennis courts added to the area. It is also undenstood that the water wasn't even drained out of the wading pool ast fali. As I was chairman of the Swimming Pool Commîttee for the Lions Club of Newcastle, I personaliy know of the long hours of work that took place in order to build the pool. I know that the firms who built the pool and buildings did a good job. It makes me ili to think that the incompetency of someone working for the Recreation Department has literally destroyed the work we did. I feel sure that the members of the service clubs in Bow- manvilie must feel as sick as I do when they consider how their work has been destroyed and wasted. I understand that a meeting was held in camera not too long ago to discuss the above noted prohieras, and I feel sure that that type of meeting has done nothing to deveiop any more confidence in your Recreation Department. It is my intention te continue te dig out the answers to the foiiowing questions and 1 would most sineerely hope that you w-11l be ahle to answer them for mée.'ha No. 1 - Is it correct ta very considerable amiount of damage was sustained in the swiminiig pool huildings in Bowmanviiie and the Village of Newcastle duning the winter months of 1977-78? No. 2- Why did this damage occur? The Canadian Order of Foresters' prjet, to build a senior citizens' hoomjein Bowmanville, is not dead, yet, and Mayor Garnet Rickard has found a site hie believes would be suitable for such a building. Approximately one month ago, the Foresters' project was scuttled when council refused to grant permission for a re-zoning of land near the, Goodyear plant. On Monday, the mayor announced hie had been talking to the owner of nine acres behind the medical centre. According to the mayor, this land was originally acquired for condo- minium development, however, the market for condominium§ is weak and the owner is interested in selling to the Foresters. "I believe it's a better location," said Mr. Rickard. "It is close to all 'Cana1%d ,From Po booked eight 'naine bands' for the concert. Strawberry Fields, a concert held at Mosport in 1970, saw more than 300 police, two airpianes and a helicopter involved in crowd control and law enforcement. No. 3 - Who was responsible to see that the water was turned off and the pipes drained before coid weather set in? No. 4 - What is the total cost of repairs to each building? No. 5 - Has any action been taken against the person responsible for the damages? No. 6 - What does the Town of Newcastle intend to do with such incompetent people who destroy ail the good will buiit up by the donation of such facilities to the Town of Newcastle?,, I shudder to think of two new arenas being turned over to the Town of Newcastle Recreation Department. If the swimming pools and buildings which cost approximately $100,000.00 each are being treated this badiy, what wil happen to the arenas which will cost around $750,000.00 each? Imagine the feelings of those people who have worked so hard to have these arenas built. As you can see, I am deeply concerned by what has happened and I want to make sure that such incidents are flot aiiowed to happen again. When I realize ahl the time and effort that we of the Lions Club of Newcastle put into our pool, and to have' it partialiy destroyed -by stupidity I become rather irate. I sincerely hope that whoever was responsible for the damage is severely discîplined. Let us have no more "in camera" meetings to try to cover it up. Bring the fac ts out into the open, and make sure that such things are not aiiowed to happen. There is no excuse for this type of incident. The writer has now been informed that the problems in the, swimming pool building have been blamed on poor construction etc. For Mr. Fanning to make a statement like tl?,at makes one wonder, as in a conversation with hlm two weeks ago hc admitled that the responsibility for the problems iay enlireiy with the fact that an officiai in the Town Recreation Dept. had neyer checked to sec if the water had been shul, off and drained from the pipes and heaters. If there was approximately, $3,000.00 damage 1<) the village pool building, ducs thal include the P.U.C. waler heaters thal were nol drained, was also taken to hospital. According to investigations by the OPP, the atccident occurred when a westbound ýmotorcycle attempted to passa westbound car and collided with an eastbound car. Following this collision, the motorcycle hit the westbound car it was attempting to pass. The driver of the westbound car was Giovanni. Detta Colli of Ritson Rd. North in Oshawa. The driver of the other vehicle was Philip Ban- nister of Bewdley. The accident occurred around nine p. m. Sunday. the amenities required by senior citizens: shopping, medical centre and downtown. And on top of this, it could be worked in as part of the development of the downtown core of Bowmanville. " The mayor said that while the owner is willing to sit down and discuss the matter, the Foresters have yet to reply to the offer. Those he has discussed the matter with s0 far, have reacted favorably said the mayor. He also stated that there would be no zoning problems or problems with servicing the development. The nine acres is more than would be required by the Foresters, although, the mayor has suggested that other compatible uses for the left-over land could be found. a Jam' >age One The concert is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. on the 26th and will include bands such as Kansas, The Commodores, Wha-Koo, Dave Mason, Prism and the Village People. Admission price is currently set at $20. and froze and split and had to be replaced? .1 believe that the whole matter shouid be brought up at an open council meeting, with ail interested and involv- ed persons there to clear the matter up once and for ail. I would particuianly ask that the Town of Newcastle Build- ing Inspectors be asked to give their views on the construc- tion. I know that they inspect- ed everything very carefuliy, and I am sure Charlie Warren would neyer let shoddy construction slip by. t is understood that two toilets in the swimming pool building in Newcastle Village are loose on the floor. One of the attendants called the Town of Newcastle Recreation Dept. about it and was toid that'as they had been loose for a year, he was sure they would be alright for another year. Is this" another example of prope'r maintenance? May 1 assure you that this letter is being written as a pivate citizen who is alarmed by such a mess. After working sO hard to provide the Village of Newcastle with an adequate pool - it just takes one particulanly inept individual to destroy it. Yours truly, Pat Blaker, R. R. 2, Newcastle.
