Bowmanville Landmark Receives Fresh Coat of Paint Looking as small as ants on a leaf, these workmen were painting the outside of Bowmanville's elevated water tank last week. Painting the exterior and the interior of this Bowmanville landmark is part of an $18,000 project being supervised by the Durham Region's publics works department. The contractor responsible for the work is Conrad Painting Ltd., of Toronto. A spokesman for the works department explained that by conducting proper maintenance the lifetime of the tower can be extended. As part of the maintenance program, extensive painting and welding took place two years ago. The water storage tank is approximately 30 years old and has a capacity o 400,000 U. S. gallons. Ontario Experience '79, the rovincial government's spcal summer empioyment initiative , enters its seventh year of operation offering 13,610 empioyment opportuni- ties. 1A $19.5 million program, Experience '79 affords Ontario youth an opportunity to contribute to their com- munity by working and utiliz- ing their special talents, education and abilities. In response to the many 'iversified needs of young people seeking summer work experiences, this year's pro- gr am has been expanded from 78 components in 1978 to 111 in 1979. The Ontario Youth Secre- tariat is responsible for coordinating the program's overali deveiopment. The experience programs are operated by 24 participating provincial ministries, often in cooperation with estabiished community agencies, such as local municipalities, con- servation authorities, school boards, travel associations, libraries and museums. This pollicy has been adopted to ensure the Experience '79 components.are responsive to local concernis and priorities. As the name "Experience" suggests, the jobs are design- ed to complement a young person's academic and career interests enabling these young people to gain insight into the realities of the working world. In addition the work ac- complished by Experience '79 participants provides concrete benefits to communi- ties throughout Ontario. The jobs span a broad range of employmnent fields such as recreation, culture, iaw,.com- merce, the arts and social services. This summer young people can be found working on urban renewal projects, conducting research into energy conservation, operating their own summer business, surveying economic and social resources in Northern Ontario, impiementing recreational and cultural pro- grams for the handicapped and the aged, and, as in previous years, helping to dlean up Ontario's parks.
