BHS Band Parents Appeal to Town for Instrument Funds by Catherine Denny Although the library shelves are usually stocked with a plentiful assortment of books at the beginning of each school year, by June there are always a few empty racks. For years, Bowmanville High School's library, like many secondary schools, has been faced with the, problem of trying to locate unreturned books and more often than not, having to replace replace them. So this year, in order to ensure that resources are always on hand for the students students and staff, BHS has installed installed a new library alarm system. This modern device is programmed to detect books leaving the library that haven't been properly signed out. Before leaving and entering entering the library, each student student must pass through a turnstile monitored by the detector system. If by chance a book has left the room without being signed out, the librarian would be notified immediately by the sounding of a high frequency frequency beep. This system will virtually eliminate not only the theft of texts but also the numerous numerous cases of forgetfulness whereby students left without without signing thier books out. "Last year we were missing missing approximately 300 books which either weren't returned before the summer summer or weren't signed out at all," explained Mr. Thomas Smith, the new librarian at BHS. So, despite their library budget, the collection of books seemed to always be depleting. And the money spent on resources for the school had to be used for the replacement of missing books rather than for the purchase of new ones. In addition to protecting their existing texts, the school is making a plea for households to search for any misplaced or lost library library books from the high school. Any effort to help increase increase their selection and support curriculum would be greatly appreciated. United Wby Members of the Bowmanville Bowmanville High School Band Parents Parents Association have appealed appealed to the Town of Newcastle's Newcastle's Hydro Liaison Committee Committee in order to secure funds for the school music program. The group said last week that over 40 instruments valued at $45,217 are required. required. "The music department at Bowmanville High School drastically needs a replacement replacement set of instruments," said Eleanor Colwell, of the Bowmanville Band Parents. "Many of the existing instruments instruments are too old and too costly to repair. The current current budget is insufficient to attempt these repairs," she said in her letter to the committee. But the joint committee of Ontario Hydro representatives representatives and members of Newcastle Newcastle council decided last week that they could not consider the request for funds because it is outside the committee's jurisdiction. jurisdiction. "I have great respect for the band, but I just wonder how this comes under our jurisdiction at all," said Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard. He also suggested that if one band was eligible for funds, then other school groups such as football teams and drama clubs would apply. Councillor Ivan Hobbs suggested that the concerns expressed by the band parents parents should be referred to the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education. Education. "I don't know how you are going to justify complying complying with their requests," said Councillor Hobbs. The band parents suggested in their letter that the Darlington Generating Station has a direct direct impact on school music programs. The parents argued that as Hydro employees transfer transfer to Bowmanville and area, their children enrol in local schools. Many of these children take part in the music programs and this results results in greater expense.
