Approximately 32 acres of table land and valley land ' e x. ,..ve riigh School is .. > ing targeted as the site. David Giddings, a Senior Recreation Planner for the firm, chaired the meeting which was held to introduce the study, and to inform the people about the purpose behind behind it. He also explained that the firm will be conducting conducting random telephone interviews allowing people to express their views on what should be included in the facility. Some of the facilities suggested suggested by those in attendance attendance were: an ice rink, day care centre, boardroom, banquet banquet halls, pool, tennis courts, soccer fields, weight room, and a medical centre.

A time frame of two years is being considered as a completion date. Another public meeting is scheduled to take place in January. 4-H Clubs Do Well at Competition Written by: Barbara A Weese, R.O.S.

This past year, Rose Marie Marie Stapleton did two important important things with her life. One was something she said she "would never do." The other was something she "always wanted to do." "I always said that I would never return to Bowmanville Bowmanville to live," Rose Marie says with a reflective smile. "But, here I am, and I'm "Palways wanted to run my own store, and now I do," she adds. The Recovery Shop sells, as Rose Marie aptly phrases it, "recycled memories." "No one comes in here who doesn't see something familiar. It could be an object object that belonged to an aunt, grandmother or even themselves," Rose Marie avers. "That's why I say we are in the business of recycling recycling memories." In this "Recycled Memories" is the stock in trade for The Recovery Shop, of Bowmanville. Proprietor Rose Marie Marie Stapleton is shown here as she chats about the merchandise she sells from days gone by. case, familiarity breeds retrospect. retrospect. a I especially enjoy the books," says Rose Marie. "They hold wonderful memories. memories. I remember learning to read and the joy of having a whole new world open up for me. You always remember things like that." Tne Recovery Shop was opened on King St. this September September but most of the stock was already in the Staple- tons possession. "I love everything," Rose Marie confides. confides. "I just can't pass it up. I have to buy it when I see it. That's how we got so much stuff." This urge to collect was filling their home with memorabilia memorabilia and Rose Marie's husband, Allan, suggested that she sell some of her treasures. "I was fortunate that this location became available at that time. So, we took over the store and brought some things from home and opened for business." business." Rose Marie matter-of- factly states. She has found the business business not only fascinating, but an on-going learning process as well. "I love meeting meeting the people and learning something new about these things every day." Her past career was in the hign-pressure management management field, a far cry from the relaxed retail business she now runs. As a Manager of Human Resources for the Ontario Nurses' Association she had, "a very responsible position wherein people were coming to me for career career guidance. There was a lot of driving between the eight offices in Ontario and a lot of stress. But, I had lots of mentors, too. I learned a lot." Rose Marie remembers with a smile. "Still, having the store is a dream come true. I love it." One of Rose Marie's first loves is refinishing wood furniture. furniture. "I was rennishing a dresser once, and when I scraped off some of the old finish, I found a name written written on it and the date 1898. I would love to know the story story behind that dresser," she adds. Nostalgia comes in many forms: records, post cards, books, advertisements, pictures, pictures, toys, tools, horse harnesses, harnesses, linens and glassware. glassware. Each piece contains its own memories. It is the familiar flotsam surfacing on memory's misty seas and demanding a safe harbour in someone's living room. "There are no high pressure pressure sales here," says Rose Marie. "The merchandise sells itself." itself." She is also honest to the core about the quality of her merchandise. Because it is older and probably used, it bears the marks and cracks of age. "I always tell customers if there is anything anything wrong with a piece they are considering." There are some tum-of- the century pieces in stock whose dates Rose Marie is not completely sure of. "Charles Taws, (Curator of the Bowmanville Museum) comes in to see me. We talk about the pieces and he gives me his learned opinion and I give him mine." Rose Marie happily admits admits that operating a nostalgia nostalgia store is a constant learning learning process. "Every day, someone comes in and tells me about a piece I have in stock. It's fun." "People buy little things that tney associate with their past. You can't turn back tne clock, but you can buy a little something that was around when important things in your life were happening." happening." The Recovery Shop is a treasure trove of memories. Here, one can exchange money for a memory - an article article from the past, pur chased in the present, a destined destined anachronism of enjoyment for the future. You can stroll down memory memory lane in The Recovery Shop. As you do so, you'll recapture recapture a few priceless memories and bring them back to the future. After all, Michael J. Fox does not have the monopoly on the re-living of futures past, present and envisioned. envisioned. Rose Marie Staple- ton, who once attended a one-room schoolhouse in Bowmanville, has re-opened the doors of remembrance for us all.
