Historic Trowel on Loan for Tyrone Church 125th Anniversary Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, March 2,1994 5 This silver-plated engraved trowel was used to lay the foundation stone of the original Tyrone United Church. The trowel is on loan until June to the church for its anniversary. The artifact comes from the Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec. Talking about the history of the church and the congregation are Jacqueline Vaneyk and A1 Strike. An interesting item to note is the fact that Mr. Strike's grandfather was once a minister at this church. Clarington over the past By Sher Lectooze The naming of the communities in Darlington has taken many routes. Most often, they took their name • from that given to the local church or chapel. Sometimes the community was named for the prominent, or first settlers, and others have a unique story story behind their name. Small communities like Mount Pleasant, Bcthcsda, Salem and Providence Providence took their names from the first religious meeting places there. Most of these were Bible Christian Chapels. Chapels. Bowmanville, formerly Darling- Ton Mills, was named after"the'BoW- : man family in 1823. Courticc, formerly Short's Cor ners, was named after the Courticc family, prominent settlers of the 1830's. Hampton was first called Shantytown, Shantytown, then Millville, due to the two mills located there (a saw mill and a grist mill). It was named Hampton in 1851, and got its post office in 1853. Enfield was originally called by two names - East Settlement (the cast end of the community) and Union, the west end of the community. Maple Grove was at one time known as Black's Hill, named after one local resident, Col. James Black 'who became ' the first postmaster ' there.'

Rural Canada is well served in terms of institutional facilities like hospitals and nursing homes, he says, but less so in terms of services for elderly who wish to remain at home, such as Home Care and Meals on Wheels. Studies have shown a "distinctive concentration of elderly in villages and small towns across the country." says Joseph. Almost one in three elderly elderly Canadians resides in communities communities outside the typical cityscape. In 1981, settlements with 1,000 to 4,999 residents had 12.9 per cent of their population aged 65 or older, compared compared with 9.7 per cent for the country country as a whole. At the same time, these communities had a high proportion proportion of people aged 80 or older - 2.9 per cent - compared with the national figure of 1.9 per cent. Although com- • parable census data for 1991 arc not available, these contrasts undoubtedly undoubtedly persist. National data on rural aging patterns patterns mask important regional and local local differences, says Joseph. In Manitoba, Manitoba, for instance, high proportions of elderly in small towns (30 per cent or more) result primarily from the outmigration outmigration of younger people, This also holds true for many Ontario communities, he says, but a signifi cant number have had their aging populations swelled by retirees, who come from cities as well as rural areas. areas. Rural communities attract urban elderly for a variety of reasons, says Joseph. The quiet small-town atmosphere, people returning to their roots and lower housing costs may all play a role. Communities that become known as retirement centres may exhibit exhibit unusual employment patterns and service demands, as well as distorted distorted housing markets, he notes. This may cause some concerns among local residents, but most communities communities appreciate the money brought in by retirees Elliot Lake is an example of a community that has gone out of its way to attract retirees as part of a local economic- development strategy. Joseph, chair of Guelph's department department of geography, has written a number of research and planning papers papers on population aging and service provision, and has worked with various various district health councils and Ontario Ontario ministries. He has collaborated with colleagues like rural planning professor Tony Fuller and Anne Martin Martin Matthews of the Gerontology Research Research Centre, and he is a member of CARNET (Canadian Aging Research Network), a research group funded under the Network of Centres of Excellence Excellence Program. ter the Mitchell family, one of the first pioneer families to settle along the 5th concession. Haydon was known in the early days as Charlestown. Enniskillen was named after the home of many of the settlers, Enniskillen, Enniskillen, in Ireland. Buffalo, though little trace of it exists today, was named for the wild buffalo that roamed these parts when the first families arrived. As the 'front' lots were settled, the buffalo congregated farther and farther away from the lake, and were finally all killed off. Tyrone and Solina fall into the category of unique stories. Tyrone, as with Enfield, was known at one time by two names. The Irish folk in the west end of the village called the community Tyrone, after their homeland, County Tyrone, in Ireland. The Cornish folk, at the east end of the village called the community community Mount Hope. This gave the postal authorities no end of headaches, headaches, and so in 1840 a cricket match was held to decide the outcome. Two i teams were formed, one from the' west ppd of. town,-and one from the cast end.. The winning team .got,, to, name the community. As you can ; see, the Irish won the game. Solina, too, has a story behind its . name. At one time, the village was, named after its first inhabitants, the Toolcs. It was called Tooles Comer for a number of years until the population population became so full of Cornish folk, that one local citizen called the place Pilchardtown, after the fish that the Cornish missed so much in their diet. Much to the chagrin of the citizens, this name stuck for many years until a local school teacher, a Mr. Hughes, upon hearing that the community might get a post office, suggested that the community have 'a decent' name. The boys of the school were gathered together. Mr. Hughes wrote 3 consonants on the blackboard, then added three vowels - L, N, S, A, I, O. A competition was held to sec who could make a good name from those six letters. It is not know today who the winner was, but Solina became the new name. (Sometime in the early early 1850's). The changing of names is not a pastime from long ago. As political changes occurred down through the years, so did many boundaries, and names. Upper Canada was once part of New France, or Quebec, which has been divided into Upper and Lower Canada. Then it became a separate entity, retaining the name of Upper Canada. Finally, it took the name Ontario. Ontario. Here in Darlington, the township was administered from the largest centre, Bowmanville, until Bowman- villc gained 'town' status. The town, then, elected its own council and the face of the township changed. The scat of township government also changed - the offices were moved to Hampton, a prominent milling centre, in 1853. We now had two governing bodies bodies in Darlington, and it stayed that way until 1974 when The Region of Durham was fonned. At that time, Darlington and Clarke townships were amalgamated and joined with Bowmanville into one municipal area, and it was called Newcastle, due in part to the importance of Newcastle Newcastle in the early days as a commercial commercial centre, and in part to the old name of the local school district. Citizens were never really pleased with the choice of Newcastle as a inline, and for 18 years the pot came to a boil quietly. During the municipal municipal election in 1992, a referendum was taken asking whether or not to keep the name Newcastle. People said 'no'. A committee was stntck to find a new name. It sat for nearly a year, polling the population for ideas, then weighing the merits of these ideas. Finally, a new name emerged, and on July 1st, Canada Day, 1993, the new name became official - Clarington. This new name is a combination of the names of the former townships of Darlington and Clarke. Perhaps we should have held a cricket match! by Jacqueline Vaneyk Only 37 more days to go and we can hope for some good weather sooner! Bethesda Cemetery Board's public public meeting was held on Monday, February 14 with Cory Kuipers of Northcutt Elliott funeral home as guest speaker. Members of the community community heard about the services provided provided by a funeral director and how the business has changed over the last few years. There was also a long question period, as everyone took the opportunity to find out information under a relaxed unpressured atmosphere. atmosphere. A cemetery financial statement and draft copy of the by-laws was presented for discussion. Cemetery Board members are: John Wood, Glenn Smith, John Vaneyk, Doris Perry, Paul Vaneyk, Walter Love- ridge and Jacqueline Vaneyk, secre tary-treasurer. People came from far and wide to enjoy an old fashioned chicken pie supper held recently in Tyrone Orange Hall as part of the 125th anniversary anniversary celebrations for the church. Chicken pie suppers were one of the main fundraisers for the church years ago. The evening began with singing, scripture and prayer. A full house enjoyed enjoyed chicken pie, salad, chili sauce and pickles, plus lots of yummy pie - lemon, raspberry, pumpkin, cream, etc. The dinner was organized by Pat Drysdale and Jake Koene, with lots of help from the rest of the church. Thanks to all! Congratulations to Bessie Vaneyk who was installed as president of Oshawa Presbyterial UCW at the annual annual meeting at St. Paul's. The whole day proved to be very interesting, as for many it was their introduction to liturgical dancing. I'm sure there will be a full report elsewhere this week or next. Tyrone church council will meet on Thursday, March 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the Sunday School room. This will be the first meeting for most committees, committees, so we need a full attendance.
