2 The Canadian Statesman, BowiraanvilIe, October 11, 1978 Beer G-arden From Page One security men - one to'patrol the grounds and one to maintain control inside the beer garden. As for people staying overnight on the premises, he said truekers and tourists in trailers very often stay oyernight in the hotel parking lot and " I can't very well stop them. " Mr. Jones was asked why there is suùch a big crowd on Thursday nights and he replied this is the night many of the young people in the area corne to the beer garden to meet their Celebrates Firat Birthday iriends. He said he bas nothing special going on that night. Mr. Jones said the botel bas been licensed since 1970 and this is the first real problem he has had. He said he wants to co-operate with bis neigbbor's and tokir council that he didn't know about the petition until he got a copy from a reporter. Now that he knows about. the problem, he saidhe would be quite willing to sit down with his neighbors to discuss the matter. Top Credlit Frorn Page One levies and to renegotiate the Ontario Housing Action Program (OHAP) agreement. Rsac These ratings were granted only after much research, consultation and documentation by Jack Gartley and staff from the Finance Depart- ment with assistance from the Ilegion's fiscal agents, Wood Gundy 'Limited, Dominion Securities Corporation, Harris and Partners I,-imited and Bell Gouinlock. Mfter representatives of the rating agencies received regiona 1 documentation, they made several výisits to Durham where they received personal presentations and toured the area to view its physical characteristics, and learn what is being done to encourage investment. "Receipt of these ratings does not by anv means indicate that the Region can rest on its laurelsý," stressed Mr. Beath. "Rather it should be a stimulus and encourage- ment to redouble our efforts to provide quality services to everyone in Durham while remaining fiscally prudent and cost-conscious. In this way we will justify the faith that Moody's and Standard and Poor's have shown in us. "This latest achievement 'for Durham, " he added,- "was the result of team effort and places our Region as, one of the leaders in the field of financial credibility." Citizens Comment Frorn Page One strives to achieve a better level of traffic service in town and its recommendations are to be implemented within a five-year period. It will, in effect, buy the town time for future planning., The $7,800 study was com- missioned by council in late 1977 and completed in July of this year. It was prepared by Totten, Sims, Hubicki and[,Asociates. Low Capacity Essentially, the study found the streets and intersections in the central business area of Bowman- ville have insufficient capacity to accommodate traffic during the peak periods of travel. The major cause of accidents was attributed to congestion, lack of freedom to manoeuvre, driver frustration and delay caused by parked vehieles at c lose proximity to intersections. ,The report notes that while there is a large volume, of traffic using King Street during peak periods, the town continues to allow on-street parking. It argues this should be eiminated during these periods and some form of selected temporary and permanent parking prohibitions be considered. Implementation of this proposal would result in a temporary loss of 32 metered on-street parking spaces and a permanent loss- 0f 28.1 SThis was particularly upsetting to the downtown merchants. George Webster said he was dismayed that some parking may be removed without any provision being made for off-street parking. "It may facilitate better traffic flow, but it's going to kill us downtown," he said. Mr. Babbs sympathized with the merchants' concerns and said the no parking recommendations cannot be îrnplemented without providing off- street parking And, the off-street parking il should- be convenient to downtown, he said. Threat to Business? Councillor BruceTaylor presented. merchants with the other side of the coin. He said they may be losing on-street parking but pointed out that increased congestion in the downtown core may pose a bigger tbreat to their business. How long will it be before people decide to go somewhere else to shop rather than fight traffic he queried? Mr.Babbs replied that it bas been sbown that once people find it takes too much time and trouble to figbt traffic and then find a parking place, they tend to go to plazas where parking is plentiful and access easier. Harold Hammond was concerned that part of the congestion problem migbt be because Waverley Road residents must go through town to get to the Bowmanville Mail - there' is no alternate route. Mr. Babbs agreed this might very Weil be possible but said this is a planning consideration and> beyond the study's terms of reference. Another method recommended for relieving the congestion problem downtown is to make Cburch Street more attractive as an alternative route to King. This would be done by making Church a through street from Scugog to Temperance Street at which point lights would be installed. Vehicles travelling on Silver and Division Streets would be required to stop at Churcb. Silver Street would be converted to one-way1 north with metered parking being maintained. Other recommendations include widening approaches to the Liberty- King Street and Temperance-King, Street intersections and installation of lights at the corner of King and Scugog Streets. Council agreed to consider the study report and the public's reaction to some of its recommenda- tions at subsequent council meetings.î Bowmanville Trustee to Stand for Third Term *Bowmnanville scbool trustee Andy Tbompson bas announced that be will stand for re-election this faîl. -Mr. Thompson is curently serving as vice-chairman of tbe Northumberland New- castle Board of Education and be bas served on that school board for two terms. - SMr. Thompson is a former supervising principal in Bowmanville wbere be was in charge of four public scbools witbin the town. freshly batt * to a dellec Il oi~~$ In the ,40 years that be bas been living in Bowmanville he bas served as a member of, many committees including the Bowmanville Museum Board where he acts as chairman.

Her message reminded us of the need for us to express thanks for our privileges and benefits given by ail the people who affect our lives, and above ail thanks to God for hîs creation and our share in it. The choirs' two uplifting anthems of praise added much to a fine service.
