\ v TO THE EDITOR 140 Ontario St. Bowmanville Jan. 22,1984 Dear John; After reading your comments comments to my letter last week I thought I had better reply. As you know, the trip to Newcastle Newcastle England that I referred to was in ref, to the Bicentennial Bicentennial celebrations and as you reported that the Mayor said that it was suggested by the Government and that is not the way that I heard it, so I will give you the way that I received it and maybe the Mayor could reply and advise . both of us who is right. I am told that at a Bicentennial Bicentennial meeting (locally) the Mayor made the suggestion that we twin with Newcastle England and then he went to the government and received the OK. This would in effect invite the Mayor from Newcastle Newcastle England over here for a period of time, all expenses paid. I suppose that this would be something like a Friday night card game (I invite you to my place and in return you invite me back to your place). Now, John, you suggest that you think the mayor would like to send me in his place (one way) and I think you might be right, but don't hold your breath for that one as the Mayor claims he never reads my letters, so he would not know that I am aware of the facts. On Friday last, I noticed that a meeting must have been scheduled for early morning (9:30) as it appeared that some council members were going into the building early. As time went on I noticed that one member from the north east came late, another from the same area was unnoticed and much later one from the west came. It would appear to me that when the latecomers arrived that it was already too late as it would appear that the building shook and then I noticed the Mayor leave the building which would indicate that the meeting was over. Later in a conversation with the Mayor, he indicated that it was a short meeting and he also suggested that I should attend these meetings (he never advises me when he is going to have them). Being the type of person I am, I decided that if the Mayor thought I should attend then the least I could do was to nose around a little. And I find out that it was a budget meeting and the problem problem arose over certain papers and information was not being available at the time and the meeting was adjourned adjourned until such information was brought forward. Maybe, just maybe, council are finally going to run the show and that is the way it should be and I give credit to those who attended attended the meeting not to those who never showed up or came late. This again proves my point of having a complete and accurate record of attendance for you and me as taxpayers.

CHURCH ST. KING ST. This message provided by the KINSMEN CLUB of BOWMANVILLE IN THE COMMUNITY INTEREST (confidential I assume), I notice where the staff has recommended to Council that for salary, adjustments this year they should reinstate the grid (money) that was denied them under the restraint program program and also give them the same increase that the Union staff gets and if I am reading it right, Council gave them what they were deprived of for last year in the restraint effort but took the matter of the same increase as the Union out so look out they will probably probably get more ($42,000 and 45,000 are not enough). I wonder how the other half live. Well, John, there is lots more that I could comment on, but at the present time I have to be careful that I don't let out confidential information and I wouldn't want Council to think that I get to know everything such as asking for the attendance attendance record of staff overtime, overtime, expenses, etc. to be brought before the budget meetings (they should be brought out in open Council then I could compare them with my official list). In closing, I notice that Morgan is still waiting for his reply from the Mayor and all I can say to you Morgan, you either have to join the club or put a title on your name. Yours Truly Ken Hooper Dear Editor: Kingsway College has wood to burn - waste wood produced by the furniture factory located on campus - and uses it in a unqiue central wood waste heating system that provides heat to all the existing buildings and residences on campus. The college, situated in Oshawa, is a privately owned High School with 550 students. It has several institutional buildings, an industrial complex, and a residential area. The furniture factory provides work for the students and generates 1600 tonnes of wood scrap which produces the approximate energy equivalent of 3000 barrels of crude oil per year. After being converted into small chips, the wood fuel is blown through a pipe from the factory into a storage bin above the boiler where an auger feeds it into the furnace as needed. The energy is distributed in the form of hot water through foam insulated fibreglass-reinforced epoxy pipe. The Ontario Ministry of Energy and Energy, Mines and Resources Canada contributed contributed $550,000 toward the system. The college, operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, contributed the remaining remaining funds and acted as general contractors on the job. The students at Kingsway did most of the construction work. The total cost of the project is $1,300,000. The Honorable Philip Andrewes, Minister of Energy, will officially open the central wood waste heating system on Wednesday, January 25,1984. The opening ceremony will follow a luncheon at 11:30 a.m. and will be concluded by a tour of the plant. A map to the school is on the reverse side of this invitation. Bowmanville Drama Workshop Bowmanville, Ontario. Dear Mr. James, Our next production on March 1, 2, 3, is a comedy entitled, "You Know I Can't Hear You When the Water's Running." As a member of the publicity publicity team for this production, I would like to bring to your reader's attention the fact that the play is labelled "Adult Entertainment". This is not meant as "come-on", but as a serious attempt to warn our audiences that the humour, the underlying pathos, and the issues being dealt with are aimed at an adult audience: Like many of our past plays, "You Know I Can't Hear You When the Water's Running" is not mere "fluff". We want your readers to come to our play but to come prepared to be exposed to real-life issues, seen through the eyes of the playwright, who shows you their hilarious side. Members of our audiences will be entertained, but hopefully hopefully they will be left with something to think about, Thank you, Elaine Barber i/an Belle' Floral Shoppes ... much more than a flower- store! 4 STORES • Highway No. 2 • King SI, E„ Oihawa • SlrocoeSt.N., Oahawa • King St. W„ Bowmanville The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 25,1984 3 Celebrate 50th Wedding Anniversary rj aca/a/n^a A candlelight ceremony on Saturday, December 10th, 1983, united in marriage, marriage, Catherine Mary Ellen, only daughter of Mr. and' Mrs. Allan Beer, of Oshawa, and Elio Walter, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Albino Fracalanza of Peterborough.
