0 V. 'v, .* . y-, i Letters to the Editor Tyribakken 16, 0280 Oslo 2, Norway, 21 Aug. 1984. Bowmanville local Newspaper Bowmanville, Ont. Dear Sirs, I am trying to trace the origin of my father's family. His grandmother Mary (Heaslip) McDowell lived most of her life in Bowmanville Bowmanville and Port Hope. (She was I believe born in Bowmanville in 1816.) She lived until she was 106 and died 24 Sept. 1922 and, is buried in Janetville Cemetery (Port Hope?) My reason for contacting your newspaper is that at the time of her death an obituary with photograph was published published by the local paper. I am wondering if there is any possibility that this paper still exists and if a copy of the obituary could be made? My father's grandfather John McDowell was born, I believe, (one of the things I'm hoping to verify) in Ireland in 1805. He is buried with his wife in Janetville Cemetery (died 29 Sept. 1901.) I would very much like to get in contact with a genealogical genealogical office in this district, or perhaps a registry office. Have you any address I could write to? Hoping to hear from you and thanking you in advance. Yours sincerely, Mrs. L. Patricia (McDowell) Heglund Sept. 3,1984 Dear Mr. James, The executive of the Bowmanville Bowmanville Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society would like to let the people of the Town of Newcastle know how much we really appreciated the support given by members of some of the soccer teams of Bowmanville Bowmanville during Stephen Fonyo's Journey for Lives appearance in our area last Friday, August 31, 1984. It was very unfortunate that he came along our main street quite early in the morning and many of our people missed seeing this 19 year old B.C. lad who is running across Canada to raise funds for the Cancer Society, but the soccer members members joined him at Maple Grove and, along with the president of the Soccer Association Association Mr. Mike Woodcock, one parent, and six local Cancer Society volunteers, Stephen was accompanied all tha u/flv tn thp Tnum T.inp u\ Oshawa. This really boosted his morale as he had been running since 2 a.m. and was beginning to feel the pressure of keeping to a scheduled reception in Oshawa Friday afternoon. We would also like to add our appreciation to our mayor, Mr. Garnet Rickard, and a couple of our councillors who were up early Friday morning and welcomed Stephen to our town as he passed through Bowmanville. Figures speak for themselves. themselves. Those people who did see Stephen running along Highway Two donated most generously and just over $1300.00 was deposited into The Journey for Lives fund through our Bowmanville Unit. If anyone still wishes to give to Journey for Lives, donations donations can be forwarded to: Journey for Lives (care of) Canadian Cancer Society Box 42 Bowmanville, Ont.

By Peter Parrott 4i >i > The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 5,1984 15 Youth Bowling Director Retires There's a lot of discussion discussion these days about changes in the high school curriculum. curriculum. There's a commonly-held commonly-held belief that schools aren't living up to expectations and that it's time to get back to basics. So along comes the provincial Ministry of Education with a brand new program called OSIS (Ontario Schools Intermediate and Senior Divisions). It wasn't until the other day that I happened happened to read a summary summary of the requirements requirements contained in this "new" program. I was expecting to find that there'd be a rigorous requirement for anyone leaving secondary secondary schools with a diploma. I fully expected expected to find students in today's tougher school system having to study quantum mechanics, with maybe a little Greek or Sanskrit thrown in for good measure. So you'll be surprised at what I actually discovered. discovered. The credit re quirements in the academic boot-camps of the future are not nearly as insurmountable insurmountable as I had feared. In fact, it seemed as though a mere human would be quite capable of meeting the minimum requirements. requirements. Now, I agree that my comments thus far have been tongue-in-cheek. But, seriously folks, the Ministry of Education has not really done anything anything new or drastic. They are simply recycling recycling the same educational educational system that they have been packaging for decades. How do I know this? Well, the list of academic credits required required in today's "back to basics" school system system just happens to' be almost identical to the subjects I took back in high school days a decade decade ago. There seems to be an idea that me (and all of my contemporaries) were raised in an age of unbelieveable educational educational indulgence. Yet, I found that the sub- Letters to the Editor August 29,1984. The Editor, Statesman Canadian, 62 King St. W., Bowmanville, Ontario. Dear Editor: To Oshawa and District Realtors and Members of our Community. On behalf of Big Sisters of Oshawa (Whitby and Newcastle), Newcastle), I would like to extend our appreciation to all those involved in making the recent Big Sister Bowl-A-Thon such a success. The owners .of the Motor City Bowling, Oshawa, Country Country Bowl, Whitby, and Bowmanville Bowmanville Bowling Alley, Bowmanville, for providing their premises, the Realtors for tneir driving support, enthusiasm and organization, and you the citizens of our area who bowled and supported supported us through donations, all worked together in a wonderful wonderful community effort. The support you have given our program will make pos sible an even better service to our community. Sincerely, Carol Rhodes, Co-ordinator, Big Sisters of Oshawa. 7 Hetherington Dr. Bowmanville, Ont. August 31st, 1984. The Canadian Statesman Bowmanville, Ont. Dear Rick Just a short note of appreciation appreciation for the article the Statesman published on Recreational - ' Hbckey for' Children. Without the interest and involvement involvement of Community Newspapers like yourself, volunteer organizations would have a hard time surviving. Thankfully The Statesman's concern for the Community allows us a vital and quick communication link to the rest of the Town. Again, thank you.

These tough "new" guidelines would demand demand five credits in English English Language (I have six). They require one credit in French (I have five). They demand a single credit in business business or in technology. (I have one in each.) Perhaps, by now, you are beginning to see my point. I, as a gawky adolescent, adolescent, managed to design design an educational program which is almost almost identical to the one prescribed by today's Ministry of Education. Education. Aided only by personal interest, comments comments from parents, and a gut feeling for which subjects are important, important, I designed a program meeting the minimal requirements set by people who have studied education for five or ten years and earned elaborate certificates certificates made of parchment. parchment. There are two possibilities. possibilities. One is that I happen to be very gifted in the field of education and able to choose a course of studies equal to the ones recommended by top educators. The second second possibility is that the supposedly new curriculum isn't much different from what an ordinary sensible student student would have likely studied with or without the new rules. All of the above seems to merely prove the old adage that the more things change the more they stay the same. Harold Bennett has been associated with Youth Bowling here since 1957, part of that time as Program Director and Zone Representative. This year he retired as Program Director and the post has been taken over by Joan Sutcliffe, pictured with Mr. Bennett at Liberty Bowl.
