The planning director recommends asking that if the request is denied again, that commitment at least be given in the plan to provide sanitary sewer and water service to the area. Another change for the plan recommended by councillors councillors came at the request of a resident. Hal Whorms asked that his property be included in the industrial boundary in the southern area of Cour- tice, noting that the area designated industrial next to his property was a small parcel of land of little value to anyone. Councillors decided to extend extend the boundary. Brian Elston, another resident of Courtice, wanted members of the committee to reconsider the value it was placing on soil.

It's a pattern that the Eagles will now have to wait until next year to correct. The series against the Bruins was classed as a homer battle, as both teams won all their games on home ice. The Eagles needed double overtime in each of their three wins at the Recreation Recreation Complex. Shane Armstrong was the hero for the Eagles in games one and four on home ice, as his overtime winners helped the Eagles to 9-8 and 3-2 wins. Gareth Stone provided the heroics- in game six played in Bowmanville last Wednesday night, as his double overtime marker gave the Eagles a 9-8 decision. At the time, the goal tied the series at six games apiece. ' After finishing in third place m the overall standings, the Eagles reached the finals by sweeping the Little Britain Britain Merchants in four straight. And then, in a re-match of last year's final series, ousted the Port Perry Mojacks in the semi-finals in six games. Uxbridge, who finished first overall, needed seven games before eliminating eliminating the Ajax Axemen in the opening round. They took a bye in the semis, and chose to play the winner of the Bowmanville/Port Perry series.

Councillor Larry Hannah said he was pleased about the commercial component in the municipality which is at 17.4 percent. "It's better than we thought it was," he explained, adding: "It's not wonderful wonderful but it's a step in the right direction." direction." The mayor said the director's report raises many questions and puts in perspective perspective where the town has been in the last decade. She said levy changes and strategic planning are areas council should discuss, discuss, in addition to housing. "We are going to have to look at other other sizes of homes and how we house people in the future," she said. Councillor Diane Hamre, who chairs the planning portion of the agenda, noted that upper levels of government government establish the planning processes processes "we have to adhere to." She added that it wasn't this council, council, or the council before that was responsible responsible for all the growth. She said she hoped council would get together to discuss the report.

Richards For someone who didn't like history in any form during during school, one could say Jim Pyke has done an "about face." Since August of 1989, Mr. Pyke has been involved with the Upper Canada Volunteer Volunteer Regiment Organization. As a member he and his fellow-soldiers fellow-soldiers recreate famous battles from the American Civil War and Canadian Volunteer Regiments. "It started out as a love of living history," said Mr. Pyke, a Bowmanville resident. resident. "It gives me an idea of what it must have been like for the men who actually fought the wars." He is now a self-confessed history buff and says his collection, collection, which includes over 100 books, coins, and medals. medals. is always growing. "It has gotten to the point where I give books away," he said. "I also have trinkets, t- shirts and watches that I've picked up since joining the group." Mr. Pyke and the Upper Canada Volunteer Regiment Organization attends "at least three large events in the United States per year." The group does a number of different impressions including including the 12tn Battalion of Infantry, the 69th Irish Brigade Brigade and the 13th Hamilton. At least one of the battles can be portrayed without having to buy a totally different different uniform, said Mr. Pyke. "We can do the 13th Hamilton because they wore a standard issue uniform." Uniforms for the different battles are as authentic as they possibly can be. "Our uniforms come from Texas to Scarborough. The guns are reproductions made in Italy. A woman in Scarborough tailors our jackets and pants." From the pill-box hats on the tops of their head, to the buttons on their coats to the square-toed leather boots on their feet, the men wear their costumes with pride. Especially Mr. Pyke. He likes the feeling of living history. history. • "I get the ultimate high but also a ghostly feeling when on the actual historic fields where battles were fought." Whi "I try to live the part," he said. "You get taken over by it. In the summer I grow a beard and I have my hair long, because that's how it would have been back then." Local resident Jim Pyke has an unusual hobby. He helps the Upper Canada Volunteer Regiment organization organization recreate historic battles. Dressed in his historic uniform, Mr. Pyke looks the part he plays. The group gets together in Markham for field drills once every two weeks and is gearing up for a busy summer full of parades and battle recreations.
