Cobourg Wins Lawn Bowling Tourney Horticultural Society Holds Annual Show Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 15,1984 7 By Norm Smith Lightning is said never to strike twice in the same place but lawn bowlers in Bowmanville Bowmanville may be forgiven for doubting this old saying after three members of the Cobourg club repeated their 1983 triumph in winning the tournament tournament for mixed triples run by the Ladies Section of the local club on August 12, 1984, and sponsored by the Canadian Legion. They are Harry Livingston (skip), Helen Cane (vice) and Jean Livingston (lead). Although there were light showers during the hot and steamy day, the sun was shining shining when William Rose, President of Branch 178 of the Royal Canadian Legion, presented presented the trophy and first prize to the winners. He was thanked by Rena Bathgate, President of the Ladies Section, Section, who at the start of the tournament had welcomed four teams from Cobourg, three from Port Hope, and one each from Lindsay, Oshawa and Whitby. These together with six from Bowmanville filled the eight rinks at the local club. Livingston's team got off to a good start by beating the Bowmanville team of Norm Smith, Irene and Stuart Car- son 17 -10 after a good game in which the locals gave away eight points in the first two ends, reduced the deficit to four by the 12th end but faded at the finish. After lunch, Livingston beat another Bowmanville team (Peter Bathgate, Vi Code and Shirley Williams) 14 - 7 in which they led throughout and after the team interval continued their winning sweep by disposing of Bill Sleep, Marg Sleep and Mary Neale of Oshawa by 21 - 10. This gave them a total score of 52 points and the trophy. Runners up in the tournament tournament were Larry Sheridan, Irene Sheridan and Harry Greenaway of Lindsay with a score of 43 from wins of 19 - 6 over Wally Reid, Vera Beed- ham and Olive Reid of Cobourg, Cobourg, 14 - 10 over Clarence Oke, Mabel and Ab Mavin of Bowmanville, and 10 - 6 over Tom Butcher, Ella Hogg and Marg Connell of Cobourg. Other prize-winners were as follows: high two-game winner winner with a score of 45 plus three was Vic Foxhall, Phyllis MacDonald and Ken Flaxman of Cobourg; second high two- game winner with 45 Bryan Hughes, Marg Nicks and Ivan Ball of Bowmanville (we believe this was Ivan's first tournament; well done!); and high one-game winner with 40 Bessie Bryant, Orval and Marg Atkinson of Whitby. Ned Town, Edyth Charles and Ernie Buckenham of Port Hope also had 40 but more points scored against them. The tournament was noteworthy noteworthy for two unusual features. features. Clubs in the eastern end of District 14 (Cobourg and Port Hope) fielded seven teams out of 16; evidently the tournament for the Lott Trophy in Whitby attracted clubs from that club and Oshawa. Secondly, the prevalence of "big ends": Livingston had a six against Sleep; Oke a six against Rowland Rowland of Port Hope; Oscar Wollstein a seven against Norm Smith (alas, poor Norm!); and Foxhall a six and a nine against Ned Town of Port Hope. The latter is the maximum score in one end in a triples game and is about as rare as an eight-end in curling. curling. Refreshments on arrival and at tea-time which were provided by members of the Ladies Section and served by Thelma Bennett and Ann Park, maintained the usual high standard of the local club. Owing to a breakdown in communication during the absence absence of your regular scribe, no report is available on the tournament for mixed pairs held at Bowmanville on July 25 for the Carter Family Trophy. We are informed that the trophy was won by Gordon Terwillegar and Flo Litster of Oshawa and that the refreshments refreshments provided by the Carter Family were as luscious as ever. Successes by local lawn bowlers elsewhere in the District District since our last report are as follows. In the General Motors Gold Cup at Oshawa on August 1 (the most prestigious event in District 14 if not in the whole of Ontario) the team of Mike Reynolds (skip), Ross Hall (vice), Stuart Carson (second) and Wayne Kean (lead) took the prize for high one-game winner. At Cobourg on August 11, Clarence Oke, Mabel and Ab Mavin were just two points away from winning the Credit Union trophy. They had three wins ana brought home the runner-up prize.

To the Editor: As a result of many questions questions and negative thoughts and feelings expressed to me, this letter is written to the people of the Town of Bowmanville. Bowmanville. It is in reference to the integration of the developmental^ developmental^ handicapped children children of Applewood Centre to Lord Elgin Public School. Personally, I think it is a great program and a big step towards the unity that we so desperately need. To most of you who are having problems understanding understanding Integration, it is "the act of bringing together parts into a whole." These children will not be a burden to the teachers and children of Lord Elgin Public School. They will be in a separate class working on their own daily programs, crafts and activities, with their program teachers. Occasionally the children will join a classroom with their teacher to participate in a craft or fun activity. The' Computer in the school's library will also be an interesting interesting and instructive activity for the children. No, people, We are not in the dark ages anymore where handicapped children, whether mentally or physically, physically, are an embarrassment to society, to be locked in institutions forever. We are now in an age where (most of) society accepts handicapped people, give them jobs, responsibilities, fair pay and, most of all, respect. Many people can accept blind, deaf or speechless children as "quite normal" except for a small handicap. Well, treat these children the same. They are "quite normal" except that they are taking longer to learn how to walk or talk, or, just taking longer to learn things that you and I take for granted. These children know when you are praising them or scolding them. So, you can be sure they know when they're being laughed at or not wanted. These children aren't oddballs, retards or weirdos. They have feelings and emotions just like you and me. In fact, most of them look and act like you and me. Normal. Most times happy, sometimes sad. Sometimes they get frustrated. They like to listen to music, play with toys, read books or just sit around and take it easy. They enjoy getting a lot of attention. They wear jeans, sweat suits, T-shirts, dresses, skirts and blouses. Their hair can be short, long, straight, curly or permed. They can walk, many feed themselves, some talk and they all have different ways of expressing themselves. themselves. Sound familiar? There's one thing these children excel in that you and I often have trouble doing. They love and accept anyone for what they are, not for what they could be. That's a big thing, acceptance, and they have it mastered. I give a hearty cheer to program teachers Pat Marks and Beverly Palmer for their enthusiasm towards the satellite satellite program for integration of developmental^ handicapped students into the public school system. I wish you much success and even greater achievements, I salute the parents of the soon-to-be integrated students for their support of the program. program. Continue to look onward onward and upward! Most of all, to the students, the children, I take my hat off to you. I have worked with you, now, for almost seven months. Yes, I've seen a few setbacks but most of all I've watched you grow, progress and achieve, both physically and mentally, far beyond what I'd expected of you. Strive for the best! Pat, Beverly and students, let's show them what you can do - and I know you can do it. "You know I wish you nothing but the best of everything in anything you do."
