Council Briefs By Grant C. Wade The 1983 Award winners almost needed a road map to find the Kawartha Downs banquet on Saturday night (Feb. 25). People arrived at the Miss Diana Motor Hotel from all corners of south-central Ontario. They came from Bowmanville, Burlington, Kingston, Lindsay, Port Perry, Sunderland and Wood- ville along, of course, with Peterborough. The guest speaker, Pat Crowe, even came from East Rutherford, New Jersey and the Meadow- lands. About 225 horsemen and racing fans thronged to the Miss Diana for the event. Pat Crowe did not make a speech. He told the assembled that his stable-star for 1982 and '83, Cam Fella "did all of his talking for him on the racetrack." racetrack." Instead, the floor was thrown open to a question- period format. The soft- spoken Crowe, a 47 year old native of Orr Lake, fielded the continual flow of queries in the same professional manner he drove his two-time Horse of the Year. He was asked everything from Cam's eating habits to which horse he faced during the world record 28 straight winning streak could have had a chance to beat him. To the latter, Crowe responded with a cool "I can't think of one." After the questions subsided, subsided, Pat invited everyone to view a video presentation of some top races. Pat, however, was too busy to watch the video himself. The questions Govt. Changed Handi-Transit Grant System Newcastle council is unlikely unlikely to lose more than $300 to $400 as a result of changes in the system for allocating allocating provincial grants towards transit for the handicapped. Treasurer Kathryn Campbell told council Monday Monday night that the new system system allocates $2.50 per transit rider, and also pays 25 per cent of operating costs incurred by Handi- Transit. The Ministry of Transportation Transportation and Communications said in a letter to council that the changes in subsidies subsidies allow municipalities to minimize costs and improve improve service utilization. The Ministry also stated that although the subsidies have been altered, the government government is not reducing its support for this program. Newcastle council was advised that the treasurer will be preparing a report on how changes in grants will affect the transit program program for disabled persons within the Town of Newcastle.
