As we were backing the car out of our driveway, early Monday Monday morning last week, a well known figure appeared alongside. It was Rev. Ed. Schamerhom, getting his exercise, but he also had something else on his mind. We had been invited to the great reopening reopening ceremony at his renovated St. Paul's Church on Sunday and didn't make it, with our camera. He mentioned that MPP Gord Mills, Mayor Diane Hamre, and we thought he said, MP Ross Stevenson, were all there for the ribbon cutting, and that's the way it appeared in the paper. Now, we learn that it was the former owner of Glen Rae Dairy, and longtime church supporter, Ross Stevens who cut the ribbon NOT Ross Stevenson. It's amazing how we can get things screwedup. •eeeeeeeeeee UNITED WAY DONATIONS - Local donors will be pleased to learn that special arrangements have been made for them to leave their contributions to the fund at the new Community Care offices, King St. West at Scugog St„ or if it is more convenient, they will be accepted at the James Publishing (Canadian Statesman) office, 62 King West in Bowmanville..

NEW SPAGHETTI DATE - Apparently, we had the right date, but the wrong month for Premier Bob Rae's sing song leading at a Spaghetti Spaghetti Dinner to be held at Orono Arena.

Richards The owner of the Vanstone Mill is seeking approval from the Town , of Newcastle's Planning Depart- - ment to build a seniors' residential ü complex. % Once he has a zoning by-law } amendment, then Vanstone Mill Inc. will begin flood-proofing the Bow- manville Creek, Gerard Gervais told members of the General Purpose 1 and Administration Committee. Stabilizing the creek valley lands' could cost up to $100,000. The proposed seniors' residence would be on creek table land that jjad been selected for a family residential residential complex in 199L..'. : '.yX;£yvs' . ■ However, that proposal did not proceed. The newest application from Mr. Gervais with Vanstone Mill Inc. calls for 52 seniors apartment units rather than 39 family apartments.

Richards Waste Reduction Week in the Town of Newcastle will take place from Sunday, Sept. 27, to Saturday, Oct. 3. The overall theme of the week is "The Future is R's" and each day (with'the exception of Sunday) has a. special theme. Monday is Waste Reduction Day and the co-cordinator of Waste Reduction Reduction Week, Judy Hurvid, said that is the day when Mayor Diane Hamre will present awards to the top waste reducers in the town. So far, there are a total of 16 individual individual citizens, institutions/ schools, and community groups vying vying for the four awards to be handed out. "We are pleased to have received names from Courticc in the west to Orono and Ncwtonvillc," she pointed pointed out. "Tuesday is composting day and although we have no special events scheduled for that day, we will be having a display booth at the mall from Thursday to Saturday where we will have a contest going," said Ms Hurvid. The contest winners will receive one of two types of compostcrs supplied supplied by the Region of Durham. "This year, people will be required required to guess how much a bag of leaves weighs," Ms Hurvid said. Wednesday is Zero Garbage Day, when everyone in the town is being encouraged not to make any waste. "That doesn't mean that you can make it and save it for Thursday," Ms Hurvid added. Ms Hurvid said it might be a good time to remind Ontario citizens citizens that they are being challenged to reduce their garbage this year by 25 per cent. "It is hoped that residents will reduce reduce their garbage input into landfills landfills by 50 per cent by the year 2000," Ms Hurvid said. Continued on Page 2 "Since 1989 we've had a couple of applications and haven't, changed the drawings," he told GP&A members members as he set up his architectural plans for them to view. He expl'airidd that Vanstone Mill Inc. owns land along Scugog Street which includes a, house, and unused frontage down to Tim's Rent-All Ltd. The company also owns Bowmanville Bowmanville Creek valley lands and land along Highway 2 for a total of 17 acres. The seniors' complex would occupy occupy .65 hectares, west of Bowmanville Bowmanville Creek. "The new building is smaller and no part of it extends on the flood plain," said Mr. Gervais. "The smaller units mean a smaller smaller building," he told GP&A Committee Committee members. The building would have a brick exterior, air conditioning, and closed balconies. The closed balconies balconies show that Vanstone Mill Inc. accepts the noise report results submitted submitted to the town by G.M. Sernas and Associates, he said. The study "recognizes that a barrier barrier fence/berm is impossible to achieve given that the C.P. Railway Trestle is located 15 metres above the proposed apartment location," stales the Planning Department Staff report. The report adds that 12 freight trains travel the trestle during a 24- hour period--six during daylight hours and six at night. One of the main concerns brought out by committee member John O'Toole is the availability of parking facilities for the tenants. The application for seniors' housing housing provides for 29 parking spaces with only 26 required from the Planning Planning Department. Mr. Gervais countered with the fact that not all seniors have vehicles. vehicles. As for access to the development from Highway Two, Mr. Gervais said that he would like to see a turn lane on the highway to go into the complex. The entrance to the complex would be north of Roenigk Drive along Highway Two. That means the GO Transit kiosk would be moved to the west of the entrance, Mr, Gervais stated.

Two other Durham Region hospitals also mentioned in the article are: Uxbridge Cottage Cottage Hospital and the Community Community Hospital in Port Perry.

However, in 1993 the association will implement ' a four-year accreditation, which Memorial Hospital hopes to attain.

They will be going for the maximum accreditation. accreditation. Memorial Hospital has been a part of the volunteer volunteer accreditation system for 15 to 20 years, Mr, Elston Elston said. The Chatelaine article states that the Canadian Council of Health Facilities Accreditation is an independent independent body representing nine national health associations associations whose goal is to promote excellence by setting standards for quality health care.
