6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville November 22. 1978 Wins Radio with Lucky Santa Button Celebrate 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebrate Their Golden Wedding Mr. and Mrs. Earl Osborne On Nov. 10, 1928, H. Earl Osborne and Reta L. Power were married by Rev. H. Stainton at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Truman Power. On Nov. 11, 1978, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at Trinity United Church Hall in the afternoon and at night had dinner with their sisters, brother, sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews at Port Darlington Marina Hotel. If two-year old Kristina Coles looks a little pleased with herself in this pic- ture it's probably because she won a transistor radio in the Button Blitz spon- sored by the Santa Claus Parade Committee. Kristina, who lives in Bowmanville, happened to have one of the lucky but- tons and received the radio on Parade Day Saturday. A second two-year-old who won a radio with a lucky button was Jason Hoar, from Pontypool. Study Suggests 273,000 Orono Drainage Plan The village of Orono will eventually need over two miles of storm sewers which will cost an estimated $273,000. This was one of the findings of a report commissioned by the municipality and con- ducted by the consulting firm of Totten Sims Hubicki Associates this year. At a meeting of the Newcastle public works committee in Hampton last week, town coun- cillors recommended that the storm sewer study be received for in- formation and used as a guide in conjunction with future road recon- struction. Major Document "You can now start on a storm sewer system which will work ef- ficiently and also ac- commodate future development," public works director Jack Dunham told the works committee. "I think it's a very important document." In addition to accep- ting the report on Orono's drainage system, the committee recommended that next year's council begin the job of improving drainage in the Division St. area in the southern part of Orono. The works committee recommended that the next council consider doing storm drainage work on the street in the 1979 and that the method of financing the project be further researched. The cost of storm sewers on Division St. was estimated at $68,000. "While the present open ditch system on Division St. is well-defined, grades are low resulting in water ponding observed during field inspection," the consultants ex- plained in their report. Top Priority Division St. was listed as a top priority in the development of im- proved drainage in Orono. And at last week's works commit- tee meeting an Orono resident confirmed that drainage problems did exist. He said there were times when houses in the Division St. area had flooded basements. Among the other areas slated for storm sewer improvements are Church St. South as well as Main St. south between Cobbledick St. and Princess St. Cost of the storm sewers on Church St. was estimated at $56,590 while the cost of the main street storm sewers was placed at about $22,700. The Orono study gave some indication of how the storm sewers would be financed however it was unable to say how much of the $273,000 cost would be paid by the Town of Newcastle. MTC Helps The study pointed out that the Ministry of Transportation and Communications will subsidize up to 50 per cent of all storm sewers 27 inches in diameter or less. This means that the cost of the pipes would be reduced to about $136,000. Some of that amount would be paid by the Durham Region since some of the sewers would be under Orono's main street which is a regional road main- tained by Durham. The storm sewer study indicated that there are 1.77 miles of underground sewers in Orono at the present time. Most of these are in good condition although 0.22 miles of them were reported deficient. The drainage study also prescribed im- provements in the Orono fairground. "Present culvert arrangements on the seasonal watercourse flowing through the fairgrounds should be reviewed and properly- sized culverts in- stalled," the consultants said. SOLINA W.I. The November meeting of Solina Women's Institute was chaired by our president Mrs. R. Best. After the opening exercises and the minutes and treasurer's report was given, Mrs. F. Watson reported that the Fun Fair held at Newton- ville was again a success.

Broome, convenor of Agriculture was called on for the program. The motto "Success is the Harvest of Enthusiasm" was commented on by Mrs. W. Ashton. We were led in a musical, active number by Mrs. Lang- maid "Underneath the Spreading Chestnut Tree". Mrs. R. Best then brought us a vivid and interesting ac- count of Agriculture and Industry in India where she had visited this year. There are a lot of villages and they are very close together. There are crops of all kinds. The land is very Rebuild Graham Bridge Plans are being made for the reconstruction of the Graham Creek Bridge on Highway Two east of Newcastle Village. At a meeting of the Town of Newcastle works committee last week the committee members informed the Ministry of Transpor- tation and Com- munications that they would recommend the construction of a sidewalk on the south side of the new bridge. The Ministry told the committee that it was making plans for re- building the structure and wanted to know if the municipality would require a sidewalk. Works committee members were also told that there are plans to widen the railway un- derpass directly east of Newcastle. Both projec- ts are likely to take place within the next five years.
