Bowmanville. .lune 24. 1987 PONTYPOOL Sea Cadets Pack Up Their Camp After Successful Weekend Outing Near Newtonville By Nettie Aiken The surprise farewell party for Cliff and Yvonne Fallis on Saturday, June 13th, was very successful. It was held at the Pontypool Community Centre in the evening. There was a good turnout, as many different groups of people became acquainted with the Falliscs through their • whole lives in this region of the ' country, and there was an opportunity to sign a special guest book. The orchestra, The Country Rovers, from Uxbridge, chose - an excellent selection of music to listen to and dance to as ■ well. For the more ambitious ■ folk, there were a couple of times for square dancing, with • Lloyd Brown doing some of the calling, and a lady from the orchestra. ; Cliff and Yvonne were presented presented with gifts, and Yvonne was speechless for a change. It was a complete surprise. Also the ladies provided an ample lunch for all to enjoy. The Fallises are moving to a house in Fenelon Falls very soon. On Sunday, June 14th, Rev. Heather Smith talked to both the children and adults about "Fears, Some Well Grounded, Some Unfounded" with scripture scripture passage being Matthew 10:16 -33. The children's hymn, accompanied by guitar, was printed on the bulletin, so that all could sing and follow along. Linda Sytnyk and Joan Jeffery assisted the minister with the celebration of the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Communion. The children had the chance to participate if their parents consented and they wished to. Next week the attendance awards for the Sunday School will be given out. As an insert to the bulletin was a very fine report by Nelly Michel about the Annual Bay of Quinte Conference held in Lindsay the weekend of May 28th to the 31st. Summer activities are starting starting up in the community. T-Ball Registration was Wednesday, June 17th, from 6 - 7 p.m. at the Pontypool Park Upper Diamond for $15.00 each. The Victoria County Pre- School Resource Van summer visits on the third Tuesday of the month from 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. will be at the shelter in the park, starting with Tuesday, July 16th. The Lindsay and District Association for the Mentally Retarded held their annual meeting on June 17th at 7:30 p.m. at the Frost Theatre, Sir Sandford Fleming College, Lindsay, featuring the dynamic Speaker, Stan Woronko with the very interesting interesting topic "Integration for All: Normalizing the Lives of People who have Challenging Needs." On the topic of little ones, ionce again, if you are looking for help with your nursery child or pre-schooler, the following notice was seen on display at the Post Office: "Future World Child Care Centre, R.R.

Your child will be offered a stimulating program and materials that will enhance their growth and development in the areas of communication, communication, social, motor and cognition. cognition.

Just to correct a small error in my last column, you do not have to come back from your cottage early to play Bingo on Dominion Day. The summer schedule of Bingo every Wednesday does not start until July 8th. Sorry about this slip. Your correspondent is just human, too. As this is the beginning of the holiday season, have a good vacation, but please make sure you have caution for special summer hazards of safety and health, such as the proper use of barbecue equipment, equipment, water safety, avoiding excessive amounts of sun or prolonged, unaccustomed exercise, or poisonous weeds around the cottage, such as poison ivy. If you can remember the grand opening weekend of Dixie Lee in Pontypool, there was a draw for a BMX Bike. The winning family was Parry, of R.R. 1, Pontypool. Mrs. Parry has two boys, Timmy and Tommy, apparently apparently not twins. Rather than have both boys trying to share one bicycle, Doug Pingle generously bought another bike. Thank you Doug, for being big-hearted. You will not lose out for it. It has come to my knowledge knowledge that the Millbrook Bowling Lanes will be open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays during July and August, but there are no leagues playing. The phone number is 1-932-3070. This is good clean exercise and fun that the whole family can enjoy together, which is important to have at any time of the year. The members of the St. Thomas More Parish are willing to lend a hand to renovations planned by the Pontypool United Church. Perhaps the best contact would be to phone Stewart Walker at 277-3263. The purpose purpose of the proposed work is for the church to be of better service to the community in which it is located. Lob Ball scores for Sunday, June 14th are as follows: Brandt-Stewart Elect, over No-Stars, 13 - 5; Centre Field over Evergreens, 18 - 3; Kinsmen over Titans, 16 - 10; Pinewood over Night Hawks (eight innings) 17 - 11.

Congratulations to our wonderful Pontypool United Church Women's ambitious executive, as they have organized all our contributions contributions to the Community Club Awards program to come out at the end of the twelve weeks with $25.00. The grand final awards are still to be tabulated, so perhaps our combined efforts have netted some further amount. Thank you everyone who took part in the program from Marie Finney and company. company. The parents of Grandview Public School students have been asked by the Home and School Association to indicate their support or non-support of a study on facilities at Grandview Grandview in the light of the dramatic dramatic increase in enrolment over the past three years. This is to be presented to the Board of Education meeting on June 30th. It is felt that strong parental input to our local Board may influence the allocation of funds by the Ministry of Education in the near future. The following is a summary of the present situation: Projected Projected enrollment for September 1987 could top 800 students, which is double the amount for which the school was originally built. Portables have been added at least three times, so that now these comprise over one-half of the total number of classrooms. None of these has water or sinks for art and science needs. The water brought into the class by buckets cannot be used for drinking purposes, the students have to take that from water fountains near the washrooms. Pails are necessary necessary for used water; The staff is highly commended for maintaining the quality of education under these conditions. conditions. Gym and library facilities were built for the original 15 classrooms and are now vastly overtaxed.

The gym cannot be used with any regularity by the Junior and Senior kindergarten. kindergarten. Special Education facilities are less than adequate and they have been forced to renovate storage cupboards, the health room and split a classroom in half. These rooms are needed by the staff for remedial readings, resource withdrawal and assessment testing. They are used both by gifted children as ell as children with learning disabilities. With the health room gone, a couch in front of the office is used for sick children. The work load of the secretarial secretarial staff has been immeasurably immeasurably added to, with volunteer volunteer help being relied on for assistance in pediculosis checks, selling juice tickets and fundraising for school projects such as magazine sales. Additional space is necessary to increase staff. Statistics are- not encouraging encouraging as they have been supplied by Manvers Council. There is an immediate growth .possibility of 82 new homes by September, with an additional growth of 75 within two yean. Land is still available in our township and the population of school aged children can only adequately be handled by the building of a new, larger school. Support facilities of water, gym, library and secretarial space are severely overtaxed and this growth will continue as regions east of Toronto expand rapidly. Finally, a summary of year end events.
