BOWMAN VILLE, ONTARIO, FEBRUARY 7,1979 SECTION TWO Guy Pugliese and his wife Alice at the start. 'Last Thursday evening, after the customers had departed, the winner of Newcastle Lions Club's recent draw for a three minute shopping S spree went to work and gathered up S $502.91 ini groceries. The event took place at Toms & j Sons IGA store in Newcastle. Winner Guy Pugliese of Keewatin St.,, Oshawa, arrived at the store early t with his wife Alice to check out where the articles were located. He is a 41-year-old line worker at 1e General Motors and bought the win- 'i; ning ticket from ýTom Couch. This h was the first time hie had won ~t anything in a draw. When the Go sound was given, Mr. Pugliese took his first cart and headed straight for thç meat coun- ter, grabbing -hams, roasts and ~,turkeys as fast as hie coulId load them. Then back to the check out to pick up another cart while Lions members cheered him on. When it was all over, hie had filed threem carts and was starting on a fourth. E He was only allowed five of any in- S dividual article. Fortunately, the winner has aî j freezer at home where hie will be able to store the frozen meat andI i with three children they'll probablyE have a good time, deciding what I they'll have for the next meal. Cer- tainly, for a while, they won't be AX I worrying about the price of beef . Congratulations from Lions President Harold Nicholson, 3rd Vice Sierd de Jong and Draw Chairman Stan Powell at right. Unfortunately, the Lions Club lost money on the draw, but the winner certainly was happy. The meat counter is the first stop. Heading back for another cart.

Town Taking No Action On Airstrip The town's planning and development committee has decided to take no action on closing a stretch of land in Darlington which is used as an airstrip. In a report to the commit- tee, director of planning Leslie Kristof explained the airstrip, iocated in Part of Lot 31, Con- cession 1, Darlington, is zoned "deferred development" and "iagriculture" in the Darlington zoning by-law. Permitted uses include single- family detached dwellings and general agricultural uses which are not obnoxious to the public welfard. Mr. Kristof, said it is con- ceivable that a farmer could require an airplane and air- strip for such operations as crop dusting. But, the owner of this airstrip has rented storage space and airstrip rights to the owners of several airplanes which do not appear to b used in conjunction with the farming operation on the lot. Thus the airstrîp is an ilegal -use of the land, because it does flot comply with the provisions of the Darlington zoning by-law. ,Ini 1970 Darlington Township, Council approved the issuance of a private aerodrome licence by the Department of Tran- sportation to the owner of this strip of land now known as the Gabourie airstrip. However, the Council did not take the matter to its logical con- clusion by changing the zoning of the property accordingly. Mr. Kristof told the commit- tee it would be almost im- si'ble to revoke the'owner's I0cense at this point in time. Rezoning the land as a private airstrip would be the only way to remedy the situation, hie said. But, lie warned, if the town decided to rezone the proper-,. ty, there will be strong op- position from the surrounding neighbors and the town will probably face an Ontario Municipal Board hearing on the matter. <1 o -Q -ç 4 -4 Five local students have won zone trophies in the Royal Canadian Legion's Literary Contest.
