Dis play Blueprints of SPLASH Pool Project Ken Kelly (standing), treasurer of the Town of Newcastle SPLASH Committee, gets a helping hand from MPP Sam Cureatz as he displays blueprints for the town's'proposed indoor pool, squash court and sauna complex. Mr. Cureatz's wife, Kathy, looks on. Mr. Kelly and SPLASH Committee member Joan Higginson attended a meeting of the Jaycees in Orono last week to present the pool plans. They told the Bowmanville Jaycees and Jaycettes that fund-raising for the project is past the half-way point. Learn ofPool's Prores The Town of Newcastle SPLASH committee took its plans for a $600,000 indoor pool ini Bowmanville to a meeting of the Bowmanville Jaycees last week. The oesult was a lively discussion about the merits of the project with just about everyone coming away with a littie more knowledge about plans for Newcastl's first in- door municipal pooî complex. Squash Courts Help SPLASH committee mem- ber Joan Higginson told about 60 Jaycees and Jaycettes that two squash courts included in the pooject would be the facility's biggest moneymakeos. They are ex- pected to turn in an annual profit of $20,000 per year and help the pool pay its way. Mrs. Higginson noted that squash is an ideal form of exercise which should prove popular once the courts are available locally. "'It's something that can keep adults fit in later years,," she told the audience during the Jaycees first dinner meeting of the new yeao. The Jaycee unit held the meeting Wed- nesday, January,3 at the New Dutch Oven Restaurant in Orono. Mrs. Higginson explained that squash games can be easily fitted into a busy schedule and unlike some sports, it takes only two per- sons for a game. In reply to questions from the audience about who would be using the couots, Mos. Higginson said they would be open to anyone who booked the time to use them. Both representatives of the SPLASH Committee who spoke to the Jaycees last week rejected suggestions that squash couots would be used only by doctors and lawyers., In fact, Mos. Higgiflson poin-» ted out that Winbaoio fiunds for the pooject Would not be provided if the pool and squash courts weoe not open to the public. When asked about the reasons for building the pool at the Bowmanville High School, SPLASH committee mnembeos said that by locating it at the high school it was believed that more people would have a chance to use the pool, squash courts and saunas. Mos. Higginson nted that it would be possible, for example, to give swimming instructions to an entire grade level of public school students acooss the municipality. Haif Way Point Ken Kelly, treasurer of the splash Committee, told the Jaycees that with fund raising events such as dances, the sale of firewood, walk-a-thons, bike-a-thons, and canvassing of businesses and homes, just over haîf of the necessary fun- ds have been raised. "It has been a lot of hard work to get that fao", he poin- ted out and he added that SPLASH is looking for support from the community to help meet its goal. Ini an explanation of ltow the pool wîll be financed, Mo. Kelly pointed out that $350,000 will be needed from com- munity contributions. The remaining funds would come foom a Communîty Centres Grant and a Wintaoio grant. He explained that SPLASH is now past the haîf way point in its doive for funds and he noted that only haîf of the businesses and homes in the municipality have been can- vassed 50 far. The SPLASH Committee treasurer said his group hopes to raise $100,000 from service clubs and the remaining $250,000 from contributions from the public. SPLASH would tuon over the pool to the municipality once it is built and Mo. Kelly explained that it would be up to the municipality and school board to negotiate an agreement over the use of the pool. A suggested agreement would have the school board paying 25 per cent of the school's maintenance costs while the town would pay 75 per cent. Five Vears For the SPLASH Commit- tee, recent progress in fund- oaising is the result of close to five years of work. Mos. Higginson explained that in a public meeting of the social planning council duoing Apoil of 1975 it was noted that a recreation centre was needed in the town. "The thing that came out of this meeting was that the people who were there felt the social planning council should look into the Suffering From Home Sickness? We 've got the Cure!
