Brad Farrow, who has earned the title of Canadian champion for the past nine years, is shown here during a demonstration at the club, located off Baseline Rd., in Courtice. Although you'd never believe believe it, judging by this photo, the champ manages to complete this manoeuvre by landing on his feet. That's Chad Jewell, of Peterborough, assisting in the demonstration. Brad Farrow, a two-time Pan American champion, is currently preparing for the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Telethon This Weekend Won 9 t Aid Area-DhmM&d A telethon will be held in the United States on January 14 and 15, 1984, to raise funds for the United Cerebral Palsy Association of the U.S. The show which originates in Los Angeles and New York will be seen in parts of Canada on the U.S. television channels. The implication is that money collected from Ontario will be spent for work with the disabled in this province. The Ontario Federation Federation for the Cerebral Palsied say this is not the case, pointing out that money from the 1983 Buffalo Telethon Telethon did not benefit Ontario's physically physically disabled. Although a telephone number for Ontario residents might be shown, none of the funds donated will be given to the OFCP for work with this province's physically disabled. Although both the US and Canadian Canadian groups work to help the cerebral cerebral palsied, their programs are not Mayor Mentions Many Projects y ■ j ; ru ' ; • % 'Vv .-/■ vV If M -N . . . : . Bowmanville's old Town Hall could be rejuvenated as a cultural centre if plans outlined by Newcastle Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard are put into effect during the town's second decade. In announcing priorities for 1984, Mayor Rickard suggested that the development of a new municipal administration headquarters is high on the list of goals which the Town of Newcastle should pursue. Another objective cited by Mayor Rickard was the development of a new arena for Bowmanville and the creation of a special project to mark the Town of Newcastle's first decade and the Ontario bicentennial. bicentennial. Mayor Rickard suggested that the existing Bowmanville Town Hall would barely meet the demands of the present even if an addition were added to the structure. "It would be better to use the block of land where the present courthouse and police station are located, designate designate it the town centre and develop it as growth and economic needs dictate," he said. He suggested that the present town hall be refurbished to its original original state and designated as an Arts Centre. The auditorium could be used for theatre arts and the main floor could serve related purposes. After reviewing some of the suggestions suggestions contained in the mayor's remarks, Newcastle councillors in- l-i if ' ' © dicated they were in general agreement agreement with his aims and objectives. Members of council have asked town staff to prepare a detailed report report on how items mentioned by Mayor Rickard could be accomplished. accomplished.

Mayor Rickard also noted that the town's road network is among the best-maintained road systems in the province. , "We have, in the past, kept tax increases increases for municipal purposes within the rate of inflation.

Drinking-Driving Project (lEeas&essment Hearings Be Held Here Next Week 1i-g The Town of Newcastle may help to establish a provincially - sponsored sponsored program designed to fight drinking and driving at the grassroots grassroots level. Ontario's Attorney General said in a letter to Newcastle council on Monday that he is requesting Ontario Ontario municipalities to form local drinking - driving committees. The purpose of these committees would be to warn citizens about the hazards of drinking and driving through improved education. "While our courts can play a punitive punitive role, our citizens must be in- ; . ■ / ,v<- : volved in the preventative role," said Attorney General Roy McMur- try and Marlene Catterall, president president of the Association of Municipalities Municipalities of Ontario. Their letter noted that municipal councils and citizens are the best judges of measures against drinking drinking and driving which would be most effective in the community. "Common sense tells us we cannot necessarily treat Toronto like Timmins Timmins or London like North Bay," Mr. McMurtry said. Newcastle council is asking its chief administrative officer to draft a report on how a citizens' committee committee against drinking and driving could be established. Residents of the Town of Newcastle Newcastle will have a chance to learn more about the reassessment of their property next week when the provincial provincial Ministry of Revenue holds open houses in Bowmanville January January 18 to 21.

She suggested that the dates and locations of the local open houses on reassessment be posted in public public buildings.

LOTTO -- With a $10 million jackpot at stake, no doubt the dealers who are selling Lotto 6/49 tickets will be going mad trying to meet the demand. It was hectic enough last week when the pot was only $7 million, but should be worse now. The odds are pretty wild, but it's certainly tempting to try your luck. But, what would you do with $10 million, after you told the boss what he could do with his job? Now, that would be fun!

The program, called Time to Quit, is on the Global TV network this Friday at 7:30 p.m. and next Friday, Jan. 20th at 7:30.

The bodies were recovered by an OPP diving team.
