It can be d'one, It was rather surprising to find out on Sunday that we do have an all-encompassing minor sport organization in the Town of Newcastle - the Town of Newcastle Basebali Association operating on a volunteer basis and proving to be most successful. 1Talking to Wayne Lowery of Bowmanviile at a tournarnent being wound up on Sunday we found a great deal of enthusiasm being expressed - from one that is involved in the promotion of minor basebail in the whole of the Town of Newcastle. Heaven-forbid: teams from Orono, Newcastle, Bowmanville and Courtice are ail playing ini one league. t encompasses the Town of Newcastie. This is flot exactly ail new for soccer bas been based on the sanie premise for years. Talk to Wayne Lowery and its a successful venture. Fromt ail we hear and have heard for the past couple of year s this is not the case with that great Canadian sport - hockey. One has to ask what is really the difference between a winter sport and a sumnmer sport. The winter sport has the Ontario Minor Hockey Association that we bear bas some say in what happens but it is also true that the summer sport of basebal bas tbe Eastern Ontario Basebali Association in the upper echelon. But getting back to, Wayne Lowery he points out tbat a boy may join either a bouse leaguie baseball team or a rep- team, one that plays in the QEBA league. t is the choice of the player and their parents as to what cost they wish to bear and what travelling they wish to andertake. Further Lowery aiso points out that ail fees are the saine and every boy gets treated the samne and plays the sane number of innings as his teani-mates irregardless of is calibre of play. t is the fun of the game and sportsmanship states Lowery. The Newcastle Basebali league takes in al categoriesfromt 4- Pitch to T-BaIl, PeeWee of wbicb there are l tearas in the league, Bantams, Tykes, Mosquito of wicb Orono bas two teams, one in bouse league and one in the EOBA and up to Midget/Juvenile for boys 16 to 20. If it cas happen in basebail it can also happen in hockey. Mter ail we are the Town of Newcastle from Courtice to Newtonviile but we also wish to, maintain our identity and the basebail organization proves that it is possible. Minor sports should bave no hang-ups and the benefits should be for the kids witbout any form of hassie. t is understood that there is somne movemnent to change in bockey but as yet no clear decision. It is time it bappens. Stapleton (Continued fromn page 1) track which would be used no more than four times a year.

Sam Cureatz, representing Jim Hale and Mo sport Park, spoke against the rezoning of the lands from agriculture and environ- mental protection for the purpose of the race track.
