Bird's Eye View of New Waverley Public School Local trustees returned from a school board meeting in Cobourg last week with a new elementary school for Bowmanville's Waverley *Gardens area. At a special meeting of the Northumberland Newcastfle Board of Education Thursday, July 27 a contractor was selected to build the 12-classroom building on Waverley Rd. south. Total cost of construction and furnishings will be just under $1.3 million, trustees were informed. The scoo ncludes a small gymnasium and stage area plus a library. It can accommodate Just over 400 pupils fromn grades K to six. Bobi3urke, a school trustee from Bowmanville, said the builder hopes to begin construction on August 14. The exact location of the building is south of the existing portable classrooms on Waverley Rd., Mr. Burke said. The area will be totally surrounded by fences during construction, he added. It will take one year to comqlete the school and the Northumberiand Newcastle Board of Education is planning to have classrooms ready for the autumn of 1979. Architect William J. Moffet of the firm of Moffet and Duncan estimated that the final approval of the school by Ministry of Education authorities could take two weeks. Approval by the Ontario Municipal Board is expected to follow in about 10 days. Once the project clears these two hurdles, the building can begin. Mr. Moffet said a total of sever contractors submitted bids on the Save G.as. construction of the school. '1He said the lowest bid was in order. Although the contractor had not worked for the Northumberland Newcastle Board, the firm had completed buildings for boards of education in Toronto, Mr. Moffet said. After less than a haîf an hour of discussion the low bid of A. Petersons Étd., of Willowdale, was selected. Thie contractor submitted a bid of $1,113,800. Mr. Moffet told trustees that no difficulties are expected in the deliveries of products needed to build the school. The only delays in construction could result from strikes. The unionized carpenters were still on strike last week and trustees were informed that a contract settlement among unionized laborers has not, been reached. Mr. Moffet said the total cost of the project.isapproximately $45,900 over the amount of funds allocated by the Ministry of Education. 1The Minist7y haci aliowed a cost of $1,232,772 for the school however the board s total cost totals $1,278,839. This added cost coiiid be picked up by spending current funds or increasing the debenture cost of the building. Porta ble classrooms will have to be used for one more year in Waverley Gardens. A total' of 350 students will be enrolled in grades one to four in the Waverley area this faîl. As a result six more portables will be instaiîed at the. school, site bringing the total number of Portàble buildings to 16. in Style and Smile 1975 Volkswagen Rabbit Steel belted radiais, rear defroster, radio, mag wheel covers, reclining bucket seats, rust protected, hatchback, with security sheif, 51,150 miles.

Police Meet From Page One "I wrote to the police and asked for their recommenidations but I still haven't heard anything yet, " said Mr. Simpson. "I told them I needed the figures by the first of next week. This meeting is not really my concern. If the police and the rmters can work things out getween them and are in agreement. that's okay by me. If they were at odds, it would be different. Af ter all, it's the town that has to license these people.i1clon't hiave to attend tis Accordýing to Mr. Simpson the Durham Regional Health -nit has sent recommendations to the promoters regarding the facilities required, however, no agreement has been reached in this area either. "We've sent them a list of our requirements, although we haven't decided on anything fVt"sid a spokesman for the uni . B asicaally, what we're doing is following.the guidelines laid down b y the province and the Ministry of Health. These guidelines were drawn up as a result of the, last festival, Strawberry Fields. Whether they're adhering to them 100 per cent though, od knows. It depends on the number of people expected. That's the big problm: it's very' difficult to provide services for an unknowin number of people." The unit did hot wish to reveal the recommendations it made to the promoters because the doctors who worked them out are on vacation. The one day concert is set for August 26, and if the promoters meet ail the requirements of the town's licensing by-law, should go oni as planned. Promoters have predicted anywhere from 50,000 to 200,000 p eple, depending on the weather. evral prominent bands have already been booked to play at the 12-hour event including: Kansas, Prism, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, The Commodors Dave Mason, Wha-Koo, and the ý7llage People. The last festival of this kind at Mosport was Strawberry Fields, a three-day event held in 1970.
