Approve $725,000King St.Contract Newcastle council has approved a contract worth close to three- quarters of a million dollars for the repair of Bowmanville's main street. The contract covers 68 items related to the construction of king St. between Scugog and Ontario St. Included in the project is the rebuilding of sidewalks, the repav- ing and reconstruction of the street itself and the repair or replacement of underground sewers and water- mains. Construction is scheduled to take place in two stages with the area between Scugog and Temperance St. renovated this fall. The section of King St. between Temperance and Ontario St. is to be reconstructed later in the spring. September il is the scheduled starting date for the project. It will be finished by mid-November. Although town council has given the green light to improvements on King St., it will take final approvals from the Durham Region and the Ministry of Transportation and Communication before any pave- ment is torn up this year. Dagmar Construction Limited was the lowest bidder on the contract, submitting a price of $723,340. The bid from the Scar- borough company was the lowest of six tenders opened when the municipality's public works com- mittee met for, a special session in Hampton last Friday afternoon. The Durham Region's share of the contract cost is $293,340, according to figures released at the works committee meeting. The remaining sum of approximately $430,000 was listed as the cost to the municipality. Committee members were told the Durham Region's share was about $40,000 above the estimated cost while the town's share was $100L,000 below estimates. There was apparently no opposi- tion to the project during discussion at the works committee meeting or the council session. The Bowman- ville Chamber of Commerce was notified of the town's intention to approve the King St. project but made no comment on the matter during meetings. Councillor Bob Dykstra said there may be some concern over the fact that the reconstruction will be occurring downtown close to the Christmas shopping season. But Councilior Don Allin said he felt the project should get started. "I don't thnk it would matter when you start. There would probably be some who would agree with it and some who wouldn't," he said. Councillor Bruce Taylor, chair- man of the Newcastle public works committee, said last week that a large share of the town's cost will be paid by the Ministry of Transporta- tion and Communications because Bowmanville's main street also happens to be a provincial highway. While 90 per cent of the roadway reconstruction cost is picked up by the MTC, Councillor Taylor said there is no figure on how much of the sidewalk reconstruction will be paid by the town and how much will be funded by the province. At the public works committee meeting, Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard said he did not forsee any obstacle in the way of the Durham Region accepting the contract. The approval by the Durham Region would have to be given at a regional council meeting Wednes- day, September 6 in order for construction to begin on schedule. Others Will Seek Second Term Dykstra Announces He 11Run for Mayor Bowmanville Councillor Bob Dykstra will be a mayoralty candi- date in the municipal election to be held this Fall. He will be running against incum- bent Mayor Garnet Rickard in what will be at least a two-way battle. Councillor Dykstra announced bis decision last night after a meeting with organizers for his campaign. Bob Dykstra is a former councillor for the town of Bowmanvilie and former partner in Dykstra's Delica- tessen and Food Mart. He was elected two years ago in his bid for a position as regional councillor. In a poll conducted by the Statesman this week, Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard said it was his intention to run for another term in the mayor's chair this year. Mayor Rickard bas been head of the municipality for close to five years and he is a former reeve of Darlington Township. Mayor Rickard was acclaimed in the first election for councillors to serve in the new municipality of Newcastle. Close to two years ago, he defeated former regional councillor Ken Lyall in a two-man mayoralty race. Other findings of a poll conducted by the Statesman this week revealed that four members of Newcastle council have decided to run in the elections this fall. The two remain- ing councillors have not decided whether they will be in the running this year. Elections for municipal and school board positions will be held November 13 and all candidates must be nominated by Monday, October 23. Regional Councilor Bruce IayIor said he will be seeking a nomination this Fail and added that he will be looking for a second term as a regional councillor.

STEPHEN'S OPENS - The new separate school in the Waverley Road area, called St. Stephen's will be open for classes on Tuesday morning, although the gymnasium won't be completed for about a week and there is still a bit of work to be done at other spots. Apparently, some folks heard that it wouldn't be opening on time, but no such luck. DONATED FOOD - The Legion ladies were given credit last week for supplying milk, coffee, cups and pop to firemen during Stedmans fire. Since then, they went to Frank Britton's to pay for the supplies and generous old Frank wouldn't take any money. So, he is hereby thanked on behalf of the firemen and Legion ladies. IN SEMI-FINALS - Durham Dairy Princess Louise Van Camp of Blackstock is in the semi-finais of the CNE Dairy Princess contest, with judging to take place tomorrow. Her many friends will be pulling for her. No pun intended. FINAL ROUND UP - Canada's first Canada Jam is over with most of the thousands who attended probably home and rested after a long but happy ordeal. The only remaining signs of the Jam are the littered roads and parking areas where they dropped their wrappers and otþer articles. It is to be hoped that too wll be cleaned up in time. Some of the patrons had quite a time finding their cars in the dark. Maybe next time there could be an improvement in designating farm- ers' fields that were used by numbers or letters to save some time. mal& 124th Year, Issue 35 -* 623-3303
