The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, October 5,1994 3 More Room Needed for Museum Collection From Page One and were presented to the committee. committee. The first, and what the board considers to be the preferred solution solution is "to construct on the museum property a replica of the old carriage house that stood until quite recently on the site. "The proposed building would be of modem construction on the inside, inside, but would resemble the old carriage house externally so that it would fit well with the theme of the main building." The second storey of the building would be used to display the large doll collection the museum has accumulated accumulated as well as its archives. The main floor of the structure would be used for larger items and rotating exhibits. The freed-up space within the museum would be used to display items that don't need a special climate. climate.

A modem version could possibly cost between $500,000 to $1 million million or 6,000 square feet of space, Morgan stated. Other solutions would be for the museum to move some of its collection collection to the current library building if the library were to move to a new site. A third option would be to obtain obtain space within the fireball on Church Street. While the museum has yet to lose any property under their care, Morgan Morgan said it will probably happen if nothing is done. "As old paper and fabric dry out they will disintegrate." Currently the museum's storage facilities are in the old municipal building in Hampton. Morgan explained the museum's situation: "We have been offered re- cendy a very significant collection by a well known local resident on the provision that it be properly stored and displayed. We are most anxious to accept this generous offer as the items are most eagerly sought after by other individuals and organizations organizations and we will find a way to meet the conditions but it will cause further aggravation of our underlying underlying problem, namely a critical lack of storage and display space." The members of the General Purpose Purpose and Administration committee sent the concerns of the museum board to the Chief Administration Officer. He is to meet with appropriate appropriate staff and then report back to the committee.

With warm and welcoming islanders islanders and a favourable exchange rate, you cannot help but have a wonderful holiday for a very attractive price. The north coast's largest city is Puerto Plata. It is a wonderful mix of mountains, old fortresses and Victorian architecture. On a recent visit to the Playa Dorada area I was amazed at the miles of golden beaches. This self-contained seaside resort community has everything; everything; including an 18 hole championship championship golf course, tennis, and all manner manner of watersports. For those of you who like a game of chance there is also an exciting casino. A half hour's drive from Puerto Plata is the charming village of Sosua. With a beautiful beach, quaint shops and cafés, I would have to admit that this would be my persona] favourite. Punta Càna, located on the island's eastern most tip, has some of the Caribbean's most beautiful beaches, which are the more traditional white sand. Santa Domingo located on the south shore is the capital city, and a main port for cruise ships. Much of the city has been preserved; many structures date back 500 years. The previous problems of water shortages and electricity interruptions have been solved with most resorts having installed their own generating systems, lb their credit, the Dominican people and their government are working working very hard to make their island another jewel in the Caribbean. From this writer's point of view they arc doing a very good job. If you have travel tips that you want to share in this column, call Blessings Travel Centre.

After the cheque presentation, Crombie told The Statesman that the trail will be opened next year through a two-month celebration. "People will be invited to bike, walk and horse ride along the trail from May to June to open the trail up," Crombie noted. He said each section would be opened up this way. The waterfront trail stretches from Burlington to the Trent River and 75 per cent of the trail allows a view of the lake. The trail is no more than half a mile way from the lakefront and often runs alongside the lake itself. From Page One the Courtice Community Complex Technical Advisory Committee. Councillor Drcslinski addressed his issues by noting: "When you strike a committee you are giving the members a certain level of trust. "You have to trust us to do the right thing, otherwise there is no point in striking a committee," the chair of the Courtice Community Complex Technical Advisory Committee Committee stated. The discussion continued as Councillor Larry Hannah noted, "it's time to deal with the present. We probably could have done things a little differently, but what's done is done." Councillor Mary Novak made an attempt at calming the discussion down with the observation: "I just want this project to go ahead." When asked about the choosing of the architect, Caruana stated, "the architect was selected through a series series of criteria or point system." The system included experience, past projects and cost. Councillor O'Toole asked if local trades people would be hired. Caruana replied that local trades people will have full access to the process. When all was said and done, a vote was taken and everyone but Councillor O'Toole voted in favor of recommending the architect and clerk of works to be hired for the project. we'll rebuild your Teenager Assaulted After Being Handcuffed to Bed A 17-year-old Bowmanville resident resident was sexually assaulted early Sunday Sunday morning, Oct. 2.
