Orono W..kly Thnu~, W.da~osdsy1, March 30j 194 Pines Girls win Area Champ ionship This Junior Girls' Grade 7 Basketball team from the Pines Senior Public Scbool were top of the list at a recent area tournament and thus are the Area Champions. Tbe girls were undefeated .Visiting the Orono Public School the latter part of ast week We were somewbat impressed with the display in the gym. 1£ was the annual science fair and there certainly was good participation from the-students with the gym practically full of projects. There were a number of projeets which caught ones attention and then some we found it difficult to understand, in fact are still in the dark. The demonstration with the boats was outstanding by the group of seven stude nts and We did chuckle some witb the display of what must be models of the new playground equipment to be instailed at the playground of the schcol. Leave it to the kids they can express themsleves one way or another. It is a considerable distance from the Orono Public Sehool to the lakefront in Ajax but with £0- days travel the two points are not that far apart. What were you doing at the Ajax lakefront? It was a solo flight just to get away and to leave behind ail the familiar birding locations for someone else. We did however follow tbe lakefront, some of wbich we have neyer visited before. Much £0 our surprise We did corne to an expansive park 'area at the lakefront in Ajax. It must at least be some two miles i length and of considerable depth back from the lakefront. Our first thought was "what happened £0 developers that they hadn't covered this prime land with housing?, l£ wasn't there and a during the year and in the toumnament ran up a score of 211 points wbile those in opposition witb them were only able to score 55 points. (Front row) Lianne Trotter, Nicole Norton, Shawna, Snell, considerable acreage of wetland was also untouched by heavy equipment. Somewhat like Cobourg and the Oshawa lakef ront it did have a brail the full length of the park. Our bat, if we had been 'Wearing one, would bave been tipped to Ajax for their foresight in saving this pieceof lakefront for public use. Mentioning it £0 Bill Bunting we were informed that Ajax had obtained the lands after the war and with the closing of the munition factory that bad been located on most of the property. Many from this area were employed at the plant during that period of time and my mother was one such person. 1£ is -as if Ajax fell into the Jack Pot as did Oshawa with their Camp X expanse of land, again at the lakefront' and again foilowing the war and as a result of the war. One thing we can remember most vividly is the war-time housing that was built in Ajax and some of which was brought to Newtonville years later and are still located in die community. 1We can't write Clarington off from access to the lakefront with Darlington Park but we do tend £0 forget of this lakefront jewel and, yes, there is some birding to bc done in the park. Clarington is in the final throws of planning the lakefront which plans are £0 bc contained in the new official plan to be fmished later this year. The Bowmnanviile lakefront, is, at the present time, a write-off as far as public access is concered. Certainly there lias never been any source of planning for the lakefront community and even in recent years that wbich had been Danielle Smith and Natasha Hilîs, (back row) Grant Stephens, coach', Ashley Poirer, Ashley West, Holly Swaga, Lyndsay Tollett, Megan Carter and Tom. Windsor, coach. undertaken feil through. This relates to a purchase of lakefront lands when it became available. The point-is also being made in the new plans for the lakefront but only Urne will tell if it cornes t pass. It should if we ever want to sce public access at the Bowmanville lakefront.'" But back to' Saturday afternoon of last week. It cornes to mind that a lot has happened south of 401 highway in both residential, industrial and commercial developmenL. $99,OOO0 Winner A lucky Lotto 649 player, Franklin Arney from Nestleton was recently the win ner of $99',995.70.
