Council Briefs Tenants of the Veltri Complex Complex apartment building in Bowmanville are concerned about the safety of the cross walk at King and Division St. In a letter to council, the tenants' group stated that because the walk is not properly properly marked, there have been a number of incidents at the location.

Pat Leddy (left) and Bill McBride (centre) discussed the efforts being made by General Motors of Canada Limited to improve absentee rates during a meeting of the Bowmanville Rotary By Peter Parrott Absenteeism costs General Motors of Canada an estimated estimated $90 million per year, members of the Bowmanville Rotary Club were told last week. Bill McBride, a representative representative of the company's absentee absentee improvement program, told members of the club that Canada has the highest absentee absentee rate in the free world. "We employ six people to do five jobs,' r he explained when he described the situation at General Motors of Canada. As a result of this trend, the company is working towards creating special programs' which will combat employee absence. Through the development of Absentee Improvement Centres, the company is able to counsel those workers with the worst attendance records. Rotarians were told that GM is intending to reduce only absences which are considered considered preventable. Other absences absences are part of staff contracts contracts with the company and may include days away for ^ BAHA'I ' ANSWERS There Is no exclusive salvation (or the Baha'i, the Christian or the Jew.

These might range from participation in sports, to a second job, or even a drug or alcohol problem. Often, employees are not aware they have an absentee problem until the matter is brought to their attention through the company's ab sence reduction program. Agencies available to assist employees who miss work include include drug or alcohol abuse centres, credit counselling, and marital counselling. Often, offenders tend to be from the younger members of the work force. However, Mr. McBride also noted that absentees absentees are a minority.

He has found that the illustrated rocks are especially popular at craft shows in which he participates. Mr. Livingston will also be demonstrating his work at the Bowmanville Library later this week. Whenever I have trouble walking downstairs, I know nature is trying to tell me that I have been doing too much bicycling. For some reason, cycling produces a unique kind of fatigue which can be felt not when climbing up the stairs but when descending them. It's an odd feeling. The knees almost seem as though they will bend in their opposite direction and the whole joint feels a little like putty. But a small discomfort is a minor price to pay after a few miles on the road. Bowmanville, with its paved concessions and sideroads, must be one of the best places for cycling anywhere. I don't like the main roads, but the sideroads through the countryside are ideal. There's nothing quite like hitting the road early Sunday morning when the whole town seems to be asleep and there's no sound except for the whirm of the chain and gears on the ten-speed. Maybe it's because I'm a late- blooming cyclist that I have kept such an interest in this sport into adulthood. Growing up in the country, we didn't use bikes. For one thing, the gravel roads made them impractical and slightly suicidal. I remember that it wasn't until I was high school age that I really learned to ride a bike. Then Ottawa, with its miles of cycling trails, was where I first learned the intricacies of the ten- speed. My favorite route in Bowmanville extends along Base Line Rd., east to Training School Rd. Then it's north on Training School Rd., past the abandoned Pine Ridge School, over the railway tracks and further north to a series of muscle-stretching hills near Salem. It's a short run through Salem, across the highway and along the northern boundary of the Bowmanville Golf and Country Club. At the northwest corner of the club, we are at the best part of the entire circuit, because the most fun is straight ahead. Cyclists riding north from Bowmanville will find themselves fighting slopes and hills. But on the southbound trip, it's smooth sailing all the way to town. In fact, it doesn't seem to take much more than a few revolutions of the pedals to make it back to Bowmanville, down Middle Rd. By this time, you're bound to have a big enough appetite to enjoy a big breakfast. Only, if you're like me and you haven't cycled as much as you'd like to this year, just don't try walking down too many stairs. , VIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHV Ï DOUBLE YOUR SAVINGS \ m with Wilson's ■ 5 Match the Tax Sale 5 ■ Instant Cash Rebates equal to the Amount of Sales Tax ■ if Set of 3 Wall Units with genuine oak fronts, glass doors, china, lights and bar.
