But elected officials have agreed to uphold the general principles of the Courtice Storm Water Management Management Study even though not every detail can be implemented William Campbell, manager of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Conservation Authority, said at a meeting of the general purpose and administration administration committee that a plan drafted by the town several years ago at a cost of approximately Environment Watchers May Receive Town Help The recycling of household wastes has not yet reached the point were it is a profitable operation. operation. But the town's director of public works said in a report this week that the municipality may be able to assist the cause of recycling by helping an existing volunteer recycling recycling project which has been operating in Bowmanville for almost almost five years. Ron Dupuis said in a written report report to the town's general purpose and administration committee Tuesday that he will be meeting May 23 to discuss ideas on how the town and the Newcastle Environment Environment Watchers may assist one another. The Newcastle Environment Watchers (NEW) operate a recycling recycling depot at the Goodyear parking lot Saturday mornings for the disposal disposal of newsprint, glass, and tin. Mr. Dupuis added that following his meeting with NEW and another recycling group, various facts will be evaluated and recommendations recommendations will be made. The director noted that a meeting was held in late March to review presentations from private eonk/'ac- tors involved in recycling and to review review information from the Ministry of the Environment. He concluded that,even private operations must be subsidized by the Ministry of the Environment to break even. However, the director agreed that although the present cost of recovering recovering resources from garbage is high, the concept should be promoted promoted and refined so that it becomes cost effective. $72,000 appears to be unrealistic. That proposal included a $6.6 million million storm drainage network, including including retention ponds to absorb run-off caused by the urbanization of Courtice. Mr. Campbell said there is still a need for a comprehensive water management program. "If something something isn't done, there will be tremendous tremendous costs all borne by the ratepayers after the fact," said Mr. Campbell. The Town of Newcastle's public Turn to Page 9 Transit System Totals 320,000 for Handicapped Newcastle's contribution towards towards a transit system for the municipality's handicapped has reached $20,000, according to estimates estimates from Town Treasurer Kathryn Kathryn Campbell. She explained that this year's budget for Handi-Transit in the Town of Newcastle amounts to $34,000, part of which is paid by the municipality and the remainder by the Province of Ontario. Last year's cost was $25,000, half of which was paid by the Town of Newcastle. Elected officials voted Tuesday to recommend that council proceed with a new, two-year agreement between between the Town and Handi-Transit for the provision of transit service to the disabled in the municipality.

It was superb, especially on Monday. Probably the only beefs will come from those who used the time off work to clean up their gardens and get them ready for planting. They probably have some sore, aching muscles today, plus some sunburn. sunburn. Now, when's the next one, we're ready. 100 COINS -- Apparently, we overstated the number number of solid silver anniversary coins that will be available. There are 100 of them, not 200. And they will be selling quickly. Don't wait to order yours. SEA CADETS -- Bowmanville's Sea Cadet Corps is training hard for its annual inspection coming up on Sunday, June 3rd at Newcastle Memorial Arena where there will be loads of room for them to manoeuvre, manoeuvre, rain or shine. It begins about 1 p.m. and they will welcome a good crowd. 1 HAPPY GRADS -- Sincere congratulations to the hundreds of Durham College graduates who will be honored at Convocation ceremonies this Saturday at Oshawa Civic Auditorium. We wish for them much success as they now enter the work force and do their best to obtain gainful and satisfactory employment employment in the field for which they have been trained.

She explained that the structure is no different from many other Bowmanville signs which also break the rules. Planning Director Terry Edwards told the committee that the sign protrudes 24 inches into the street when it should extend 18 inches. He added that the town's by-laws require this particular type of rooftop rooftop sign to be designed by an architect architect or engineer. In addition, the sign would not be granted a permit because it is higher than the wall to which it is fastened, he said. After hearing Ann Sant's presentation, presentation, the committee voted to refer the subject to the town's planning director for a report on the events leading up to the installation of the sign as well as a recommendation on how the problem may be resolved. resolved. Coug, the most recent contender for the Canada's Cup sailing race, was launched at the Port Darlington Marina on Thursday. Council Gives Approval to Wellington Street Project Elected officials have given preliminary preliminary approval to a $48,104.58 storm sewer project planned for Wellington St., in Bowmanville. The town's general purpose and administration committee approved approved the project Tuesday, subject subject to final confirmation from Newcastle council next week. Director of Public Works Ron Dupuis said the project is part of an ongoing commitment towards the upgrading of the Bowmanville storm sewer system. Last year, a section of storm sewers sewers on Wellington St., between Liberty Liberty St. and George St. was replaced by the Town of Newcastle This year, a section between Turn to Page 2 HUNGRY? -- If you aren't getting enough to eat at home, or even if you are and might be looking for something different, you'll find it at the Darlington Sports Complex on Saturday, June 2nd when Bowmanville Bowmanville Rotary Club holds its annual barbeque and dance. Tickets are now available and will go quickly. BUDGET --- Last week, the Ontario government came through with a budget thatdidn't disturb anybody anybody very much, mainly because there were no increases increases in taxes to speak of, other than a minor jump in OHIP fees. It appears that Premier Davis is keeping his options open, just in case he changes his mind and decides to call an election. In the meantime, the Darlington Progressive Association will be holding its annual meeting and election of officers at The Acres Restaurant on Tuesday, May 29th. Everyone welcome, including, we suppose, any Liberals or New Democrats who would like to change their affiliation. The note we received didn't have any time, but most of these events begin about 8 p.m. COMMUNITY CALENDAR - A while ago, some newspapers, mostly dailies, introduced a column about events going on in their community, under the heading of Community Calendar. Requests for items to be included have spread rapidly, mainly because it was free of charge. The result is that now we even receive items addressed to the Free Advertising Dept. Frankly, we don't feel it's fair for some to be paying good money to list their events in the classified Coming Events column and others getting them for free somewhere else in the paper. So, our policy at the moment is simply "If you charge, we charge." SESQUI ANNIVERSARY -- This Sunday at 11 a.m, staff and members of St. Paul's Sunday School will be conducting their 150th anniversary service in the church. Also their next performing arts concert is scheduled for Wednesday, May 30th at BHS, featuring featuring Doug Hamilton and the Brass Connection.
