18 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, October 9,1991 Counice has Canada Post to thank for letting it be known throughout the world that the community docs exist. Before that came about earlier this year Courlice might have existed existed only in the minds and hearts of those who arc immediately associated with this Newcastle rural community. Courlice is not a political administrative entity. It is a new official postal address created by the Post Office a little little more than two years after it had farmed out postal services franchise to a Columbus couple who runs a 12-room motel on King Street East about one kilometre from Townlinc Road that separates Courlice from Oshawa. David and Joanne Dunklcy are, perhaps, the only two people people in the community often sought after by their fellow Courticcans. "We cover anywhere west of Martin Road, north of the Baseline and south of Pebblestone," Pebblestone," says David, who hails from Leicester, England, but calls Canada his home. "Our little post office offers full postal service except making making deliveries." The post office has a fulltime fulltime staffer and handles a daily average of 50 parcels and 75 registered letters. "On some days we're busy and on others, we're not," says David. "We'll grow as the community grows." Courlice has a population of about 11,000 people. Regional planners project that when fully fully developed the population will probably be around 60,000. Evidence of growth is not difficult to come by. Mother Theresa Separate School is the latest addition to the school system in Courlice. When Hart Armstrong left the principal's office in Monsignor Monsignor Leo Cleary Separate School on Courlice Road to become become Honcho of Mother Thcr- cas on Glenabbey Drive in south Courlice be brought along with him 400 students from Msgr. Cleary. Msgr. Cleary was built in 1988 for 278 students. As Courlice grew it added portables portables to its designed maximum capacity. With the addition of 15 portables Msgr. Cleary had 614 students just before Mother Mother Theresa opened its doors for the first time early in September. September. , "We have room for more kids," says Armstrong, of Mother Theresa. "We're rated for 650 plus." About half a kilometre away from the newest and second second separate school in Cour- tice, men wearing hardhats arc busy working a number of heavy earth-moving machines clearing the ground for a new sub-division of housing. The project began early in September and by October 20, if schedules are followed, two new roads will appear on the site. They will be the continuation continuation of Oke Road and the link that joins the currently divided Glenabby Drive. Roger Beynon, a certified engineer on the construction site of G.M. Sernas and Associates Associates Limited of Whitby, says when phase 1 of the project ends it will have 74 houses, some arc semi-detached; a park; a block for "open space or whatever." At least two other construction construction sites for sub-divisions of housing arc evident elsewhere in Courlice which one regional planner says he thinks is the -- if not one of the -- fastest- growing communities in the Township of Newcastle. The reason, he says, is because because Courlice is the Newcastle Newcastle community that is closest to Toronto, therefore it catches developers' attention. Long-time residents of Courlice might find the developers' developers' claim difficult to swallow. swallow. Many other residents, however, tend to agree with the developers. This is particularly true among new Courticcans who commute to Toronto daily to work. In a way the developers' claim helped Courlice to grow. Thanks to a handful of men the image of Courlice is also growing, but in a novel way. One usually associates firemen firemen with putting out fires and saving a house from being burned completely. The crews -- full-timers as well as part-timers -- of Newcastle's Newcastle's No. 4 Fire Station, which is on Trull's Road north of Highway 2 in Courlice, have become part-time beggers and carpenters. They literally begged for donations for the construction of a "Fire Safety House," which they arc constructing on a trailer within the fire station. Construction began last Saturday Saturday and the 21-foot-by-13 and 1/2-by eight "miniature" house should be ready for official official unveiling on October 20. The house will have a small theatre for kids to see educational educational footage on fire safety and a mock-up second floor bedroom. "We will pour synthetic smoke into the bedroom to educate educate children on how to escape escape from a smoke-filled room of a house on fire," explains Captain Trent Elyea, one of the two full-time captains of the No. 4 Fire Station. He and Captain Graydon Brown are the two full-timer Honchos of the fire station. They rotate on a four-day on and four-day off schedule. Elyea said the firefighters got the idea for the miniature house from a magazine and received received plans for constructing the house from firemen in British British Columbia. "We had to modify it (the plan) somewhat to suit our purpose," purpose," says Elyea, who thinks that when constructed the Fire Safety House is "one of the most sophisticated in North America." The purpose of the miniature miniature house is to educate children children on fire prevention and fire safety. The construction of the safety house coincides with the Fire Prevention Week that has been in progress since Sunday. Fire Station No. 4 is one of two - the other being Station No. 1 in Bowmanville - open daily to the general public from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. through this Friday. Captain Brown says the Courlice station is open daily to visitors because, like the station station in' Bowmanville it is fully manned daily. Paul Shcherbach, a professional firefighter at Fire Station #4 in Courtice, works on the Durham Region's Region's first fire safety house. The 21-foot, mobile structure is a replica of a typical home. It has'aii upstairs, upstairs, downstairs, a bedroom and a kitchen. The house will be towed to schools to demonstrate'g number of fire safety principles, including the safe', evacuation of a home in the event of a fire. NO INTEREST TIL UNBELIEVABLE!
