The Jaycees had planned to build a park across from the Bowmanville Zoo on land owned by the town in the Soper Creek Valley. The park was planned as a project to celebrate the Ontario bicentennial and thé Town of Newcastle's 10th anniversary. It would include playground equipment, equipment, picnic facilities and a parking area. But council was hesitant to grant immediate approval approval for this scheme when plans were introduced several several months ago. Instead, elected officials asked town staff for a further report on details of the plan. "The Bowmanville Jaycees are disappointed that council has seen fit to send the matter back to staff -- a staff that has already endorsed the project," said Jaycee President Harvey Chappel in a letter to the council Monday, September September 10. The Jaycees noted that due to other commitments, they will not be able to work on completing the park this year. However, the Jaycees have not ruled out the development development of the park in 1985. In a letter received by council last week, the Jaycees thanked council for considering the matter and added that the organization will look forward to working working with the municipality again in the upcoming year. 20% off All Shades! and you can save an extra dollar if you bring your lamp in for a personal fitting.

This is the time to start planting the fall bulbs. The Tulips, Daffodils, Daffodils, Hyacinths and the many small bulbs available. What is a bulb? Just think of a bulb as an underground storehouse with a flower hidden away in the centre. The food in that storehouse will provide the energy for healthy flowers in the spring. Bulbs put out roots into the ground below and send stems shooting up above the ground to carry the leaves and flowers. The shape of the plant it produces can range from a tiny single bloom to a tall and bushy plant covered with flowers. The bulbs you plant this fall will bloom for several weeks in the spring. Colorful spring flowering bulbs can be planted anywhere in your garden, in sun or shade, along borders or terraces, under trees or against a fence. Some bulbs such as the Daffodils are lovely scattered at random for a natural look. For the best effect and best color showing, plant Tulips and Daffodils and Hyacinths in clusters of 10 or more bulbs all of the same variety. Use a more lavish hand with the smaller bulbs, planting them in close groupings groupings of 25 or more. The flowers will always be directly directly related in size to the size of the bulb. Some of the minor bulbs are tiny and then the flowers will also be tiny, perfect perfect for grouping in a rock garden or close to the house on the south side where they will herald the spring very early in the spring, sometimes even poking their heads through the soil when there is still snow on the ground. Different bulbs can be planted planted together, make sure that the smaller bulbs are planted in the front and the taller ones at the back. Since they come in different blooming times it is nice to have color throughout throughout the spring by planting different varieties and different different colors for a continuous showing. Bulbs can also be combined with the annuals. The annuals will fill in when the bulbs have finished their colorful show. To get a naturalized naturalized look, eyen if it is just a corner of your garden where it's difficult to get the lawn- mower, you can use the attractive attractive daffodils. They are especially attractive when naturalized on a slope, or in a meadow setting or wooded area. Larger bulbs should always be planted in the company of other bulbs. And that is even true of the smaller bulbs.

They were Twenty Port Hope Lawn Bowlers Travel to Bowmanville for Match By Norm Smith "An optimist", says the Concise Oxford Dictionary, "is a person with an inclination inclination to take bright views." are excellent for naturalizing. The best way to group them is to stand in one spot and toss a handfull of stones on the ground, then plant a bulb where each stone landed. Bulbs will grow in any garden as long as there is good drainage. drainage. To prepare an entire bulb bed the easiest way is to remove the soil to a depth of eight inches, then fill in the first two inches with sand and peatmoss for good drainage, then work in some plant food such as bonemeal or bulb food, then set your bulbs in the pattern that you want. Then just fill in with the original soil and water in thoroughly. To protect the bulbs for the winter months, spread a layer of two inches with peatmoss over the bed. This will prevent the soil from freezing and thawing, which could damage the roots of the bulbs. If you don't want to dig out a whole bed, you can just use a trowel or a bulb planter, as long as you plant them deep enough. Make sure that you water them in with a good soaking since the bulbs will immediately immediately start to form roots. Most bulbs will bloom for several years. When the flowers are starting to get smaller it is time to dig them up in the spring after the flowers are gone and the leaves are starting to yellow and store them until the following fall, then sort out the bulbs, discarding the smaller ones and replanting the larger sizes. Until next week, happy gardening. Only such a one could have looked forward with any hope of enjoying a game of lawn bowls on the afternoon afternoon of Sunday, September 2nd, when he (or she) awoke that morning to light but persistent rain. But there were nearly 20 optimistic lawn bowlers in Port Hope that morning who decided to come to Bowmanville after lunch in response to an invitation from the local club to participate in fun, fellowship and feasting - a return engagement for similar similar festivities in Port Hope earlier in the season. Their optimism was shared by the members of the Bowmanville Bowmanville club who went ahead with the necessary arrangements arrangements and were rewarded by an afternoon that was frigid but free from rain. The first event was a "spider" in which each of the players, lined up around the perimeter of the . rink, simultaneously rolled one bowl to a jack in the middle of the green. After the resulting chaos had been sorted out, the player whose bowl was nearest to the jack won the silver dollar dollar placed under it. On this occasion it was Oscar Wolls- tein from Bowmanville. Regular bowling followed with 36 players arranged in teams of three (with at least one of each club on each) arranged by joint draw- masters Edith Charles of Port Hope and Brian Hughes of Bowmanville playing two eight-end games. The winners in the first games played each other in the second while losers played losers. Prize winners were as follows: High 2-Game Winners Ab Mavin (B), Gwen Coombes (B) and Fred Bannister (PH); 2nd High 2-Game Winners Winners Brian Hughes (B), Evelyn Evelyn Churchley (PH), Wyatt Waddell (PH); 3rd High 2- Game Winners Norm Smith (B), Edith Charles (PH), Ilcne Reid (B); High 1-Game Winner Peter Bathgate (B), Bill Jarvis (PH), Joan Purdy (PH); 2nd High 1-Game Winner Winner Vic Jiggins (PH), Mabel Mavin (B), Ernie Buckingham Buckingham (PH);. Consolation Prize Harold Bennett (B), L. White (PH), Ann Park (B). After the games everybody everybody enjoyed a pot-luck supper in which the Bowmanville Bowmanville ladies, under the convenorship of Vi Coole and Marg Nicks (our Bobbsey Twins, as Peter Bathgate called them), outdid outdid themselves in providing a sumptuous repast. Peter, our President, presented the prizes, presided at a draw for prizes hidden in brown bags and given to holders of winningn umbers, umbers, and expressed the pleasure pleasure of the Bowmanville bowlers at the presence of their guests on such a happy occasion. He was suitably thanked by. Edith Charles on behalf of the visitors. The moral, if you wish to have one and will pardon a bit of poetic (?) licence, "It's an ill wind that blows no rain away."
