) I I Hospital Auxiliary Officers Hold Luncheon Meeting Enniskillen News Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, October 3, 1984 13 A Heap of Eating in This Puff Ball Presidents and vice-presidents from the Ladies' Hospital Auxiliaries throughout the area met for lunch at Trinity United Church Tuesday, Sep tember 25th to discuss coming events and the issues issues at hand. New 4-Lane Road Causing Concern by Tom Grimmer The Ontario government is not sympathetic to school board concerns about emergency access to Clarke High School and the Pines Senior Public School, says Newcastle Trustee Bob Willsher. At issue is the province's expansion of Highway 115 into a four-lane, divided roadway. The two schools are on the northbound side of the highway, which means buses would not be able to leave the school in the event of a tanker-truck or other hazardous accident accident on the highway north of the school area. Mr. Willsher reported to the board last week that a meeting held in mid-Sep- Hospital Expansion Will Create New Jobs The creation of new jobs in Bowmanville and area will be one of the results of a planned expansion at Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville. Bowmanville. "The community will be the beneficiary of hospital expansion both in the services services we provide and in the local economy," said Hospital Hospital Executive Director Richard Elston. Mr. Elston said Monday that the new facility will have 105 beds rather than the current 85. In addition, it will contain 42,000 square feet of additional additional facilities, including space for a day hospital and occupational therapy. All of this means the hiring hiring of more nurses, therapists, housekeeping staff, and other employees. Mr. Elston estimates that between 25 and 30 additional additional staff could be added to the facility by the time work is completed at the end of the three-year construction construction program. He estimated that25 additional additional employees along with extra equipment and other benefits will add $500,000 to the annual hospital hospital budget. tember between Ontario transportation minister James Snow, Mayor Garnet Rickard, MPP Sam Cureatz, Director of Education Education Gary Tushingham and himself revealed great reluctance reluctance on the province's part to pay for an access road to the east of the schools. "In general there wasn't a great deal of sympathy for our request for an emergency exit," the trustee trustee told the board. He added there is also concern because slow-moving buses will be pulling out of the school onto the busy highway highway without the benefit of a third lane to accelerate in, which presents a potential for rear-end collisions. More than 1,000 students attend the two schools, and all of them are bused. "The minister's reaction to that concern was basically: basically: well, let's leave it alone until the highway is all finished." The intelligent intelligent way to construct a higli- waÿ was to see it done right the first time, Mr. Willsher suggested. "I just can't see our buses coming out of there safely and entering the Row of traffic," he added. A north-south road con structed between the third and fourth concession roads would alleviate both the emergency access problem problem and the merging traffic problem, Mr. Willsher said. In addition, it would cut the transportation cost increase increase anticipated by the board when bus routes are lengthened when the divided divided highway is finished. This is because left turns in and out of the school area will no longer possible, so buses will have to go to the concession roads to turn. Mr. Willsher said he was under the impression the province had said several years ago -- when the highway highway expansion was in the planning stage -- that a third lane would be provided provided near the schools. He said after the meeting he did not know if that promise was documented, and could be hard to prove as a result. "I'm not optimistic we're going to get our road behind the school (or) the third lane," Mr. Willsher said. The trustee said parents in the area in the area are also concerned about the problems. "The problem is one of dollars and cents...I hope we're not sacrificing the safety of the kids for the sake of the dollar," Mr. Willsher Willsher said. "All it takes is one truck coming down 115 and hitting one of our buses and we've got a major problem." Bowmanville trustee Sid Worden said the board's concern was comingseveral years too late. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications Communications asked the board several years ago if they had any input into the planning of the Hwy. 115, butnothingwasdoneatthat time, he said. The cost of the access road is not known at the moment, moment, Mr. Willsher said, but the town of Newcastle is looking into that. He said they will continue to press the province on the issue.

Bowmanville Telephone 623-5747 When I was growing up, I used to dream that some day I'd own one of those cars of the future -- the sort of vehicle captured by science fiction fiction literature read by 10-year-old boys those days. I half expected I would drive something with rocket fins and an atomic power plant. But instead of slipping slipping into the cockpit of a sleek machine with gyro compasses and servo-motors, I find myself myself behind the wheel of my 1978 Chevette, trying trying to wrestle the automatic automatic transmission lever from D to P. Sometimes Sometimes the future doesn't work out quite the way you expect. It looked as though the transmission had come to the end of its mortal highway. But some kind of blind faith told me it wasn't the transmission. And sure enough, it turned out that only the lever was Artistic jtair Designers Let Us Brighten Your October! i _.'

Bowmanville Telephone 623-2931 broken., You just have to hold the lever a certain certain way and it works as good as new. This also makes the car difficult to steal, since I'm the only one who can operate operate the gearshift. Sort of like those horses of the Grade B movies that could only be ridden by one cowboy. The Chevette, which has made more comebacks comebacks in its 70,000 miles than Mohammed Ali is on the road again. Come to think of it, these little quirks are just the things that give a car an almost human touch. About a month ago, I was seriously thinking of trading it in. But after all we've been through, I'd hate to part with it now. You have to realize, first of all, that the Chevette is unique in the automotive world. Some people claim it's the successor to the VW beetle in the category of reliable, cheap, but very basic transportation. transportation. It's the Tin Lizzy of the 1970s and 1980s. It's everybody's first choice as a second car. The machine has its critics. For example, a friend once told me that it's the only car he knows that will fish-tail at 15 miles per hour. That's an exaggeration, of course. But the brakes on our model have been its Achilles heel. Another armchair expert told me the brakes were made from recycled steel on early models. That means they need a little more care than most. I hear, now that the brakes are better on the new models. If that's true, then the latest editions editions should still be top-notch contenders in the small car market. Ours has stood up very well to the rigors of daily winter driving, camping trips to the East Coast and Northern Northern Ontario, and other abuses that would snap the crankshaft of lesser vehicles. With a new set of front floorboards, a wheel alignment, new rear springs, and a little little more work on the pesky brakes, it may still be a year or so before before that car goes fo the big parking lot in the sky. There's another reason why I sort of hate to part with our 78 Chevette. If you look closely, you'll find that there are a few flakes of confetti which still work their way loose from under the seats and flutter around the interior. You see, that car happens happens to be the vehicle in which we drove off into the sunset on our wedding day over six years ago. It was brand new then. So were we, it seems. Isn't it amazing how much sentimental attachment attachment can be associated associated with an ordinary ordinary bucket of bolts? It's crazy, I know. But if I had my way, I'd treat the car more like an old workhorse that has seen better days. I wouldn't scrap it I wouldn't trade it. I'd just kind of turn it out to pasture in an oil patch. It deserves nothing less. PEACOCK LUMBER LTD. Building supplies. Our specialty is lurnoer and lumber products.

Fall - The Time to Control Warbles From now until the end of November, is an excellent time for livestock producers to be treating their cattle for warbles. The Systemic Treatments that have been on the market for a number of years now are inexpensive relative to the benefits provided and are quick and easy to use. Systèmes Systèmes are poured on the animal's back and are absorbed absorbed through the skin and are carried to all parts of the animal's body. Treatment during October and November eliminates warble grubs before the winter in the animal, and grubs can cause damage to the hide and meat and affect the performance of the animal over the winter. A risky treatment treatment period is from December December to March, so we urge you to treat now. There are many systemic materials on the market, all of which, when used at recom mended rates and times are effective and safe. Don't treat cows in milk, calves under three months of age or animals which are sick. Cattle intended for slaughter, also have withdrawal periods depending depending on the product used. A bonus in treating cattle for warbles with systemics is that you also kill all feeding lice on the animal. For further information on warble control in cattle, contact contact your office and ask for a copy of the Factsheet, "War on Warbles." Remember, treating your cattle now will mean your livestock will perform perform better over the winter months. 1984 Seed Show - Royal Agricultural Winter Fair The 1984 "Royal" Seed Show has boosted its prize money.
