Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 18,1985 Ribbon Cutting Marks Completion of Renovations The interesting thing about this job is the opportunity opportunity of partaking in the offbeat, the slightly dangerous and the out-of-the-ordinary. You might put sowmilking sowmilking in the offbeat category. And a ride in a glider would certainly certainly qualify as slightly dangerous. Under the heading of out-of-the-ordinary, you could include a bit part in the 75th anniversary anniversary parade for Goodyear Canada Inc. There we were. Nine members of the staff of The James Publishing Company on a float representing representing the newspaper newspaper industry today and yesterday. A computer, computer, a modern cam era and flash unit were among the equipment representing the present. present. And yesteryear was portrayed by the old Speed Graphic camera camera that was in operation operation here 50 years ago as well as some old equipment for setting type by hand. Of course, the people were also dressed to represent the James Publishing Company then and now. There was Brian Jones, repre- . senting the modern pressman; Don How- arth, modern photographer; photographer; Leah Wood, modern typesetter; Paul Bruce 1980s baseball player; Don and Betty Bishop, portraying portraying the couple from Giant Rubber Cheque Aids Disaster Relief Fund Bowmanville plant representatives, Hugh Laing and George DeMille (standing fifth and sixth from left) were among those at the presentation of a giant rubber cheque for $88,029.63, representing contributions from Goodyear employees and the company, to the Central Ontario Disaster Relief Fund.

I was the one wearing the derby hat that was about the right size for a large lightbulb but the wrong size for me. Never mind, I think I could speak for everybody everybody in saying that an enjoyable time was had by all, including those who deserve the credit for creating the signs, arranging the tractor, etc. Of course, there's one major disadvantage to being involved in such a project. It never occurred occurred to me that when you're in a parade you don't get to see the event or enjoy the anticipation anticipation of wondering what kind of vehicle, float or band will appear appear next. But from what wé could see from our vantage vantage point and from what we heard afterwards, afterwards, it seems as though the project was a major success. Maybe we'll just put all the equipment from yesteryear in mothballs so that we can bring it out again for the 150th anniversary. Last Wednesday, the San Marino Restaurant was re-opened following considerable renovation. Taking part in the ribbon cutting ceremony were, owners Toni and Peter Ignagni in the front row with Mayor Garnet Rickard and at rear, 1-r, Barry Edmonson, Myrtle Brooks, Kelly Wilson, Dawn Gravener, Tracy Smith and Carol Hallman; absent were Ken Wilkins, Mark Smith, Mike Gallant and Gary Smith. Durham Regional Council Briefs Durham Region is being "very conservative" with its financial investments these days, according to Finance Department Commissioner Jack Gartley. Regional Council was told at its September 11th meeting that Durham has not lost any money in the recent recent collapse of the Canadian Canadian Commercial Bank nor has it ever invested with the troubled Northlands Bank. However, with the difficulties difficulties besetting these two institutions the Region is investing cautiously, dealing dealing only with the five major chartered banks. The Region did have $3.5 to $4 million invested with the Canadian Commercial Bank, but it was withdrawn in April, 1985. Durham Regional Council Council has endorsed a resolution resolution from the City of Oshawa petitioning the provincial government to proceed with the location of a GO Transit station at the C.P.R. line, south of the Oshawa Centre. Oshawa Councillor Cy Elsey moved the endors- ment, telling his regional colleagues: "everyone on our council agreed, and that's an unusual situation, that south of the Oshawa Centre is the most suitable location." At its meeting on September September Uth, Regional Council voted to cancel weed control charges against Neil and Margie McGeoghan of Blackstock. The couple, who bought a 50 acre farm in September, 1983, have been disputing a $1,045 charge for weed cutting cutting on their property. The cutting was done before they took legal possession of the land. While the Region followed followed proper procedures in levying the charges against the McGeoghans, they or their lawyers should have asked if there were outstanding outstanding charges on the property. Works committee chairman Gerry Emm said that the committee had decided decided to forgive the charges "on compassionate grounds."
