i- ihc Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, May 15, 1996 Full Day Kindergarten Being Offered Trustees with the Northumbcrland/Clarington Board of Education have decided decided to offer a full day, every other day program for both junior and senior kindergarten. In an 8 to 7 vote at the regu lar board meeting held May 9th, trustees picked a program that runs Monday, Wednesday and alternate Fridays for one group of students and Tuesday, Thursday and alternate Fridays for the other. This will make it possible to combine junior and senior kindergarten classes. Earlier this year, the province cut funding for the junior kindergarten program leaving its fate up in the air. During their budget talks, Happy First Birthday, Miranda Dump Truck Rolls Over on Highway Two trustees voted to keep the program program but cancel noon hour buses which cost about $800,000 a year.. Superintendent of program, Trudy Lum, said administration had explored several possible options for the program and felt this was the best choice because it gives parents a regular regular schedule and because "there arc higher attendance rates in this model." She added that the local Separate School Board is looking looking at the same schedule for its program and this allows the board to continue to examine ways of sharing buses. With the program's hours approved by trustees, the department will now work on the details of the program with schools. Information will then be sent to parents. A major report on the mechanics of the program will go to the education committee on May 27th. It will include data on such things as scheduling scheduling and supervision. Fire Hall Tenants?

Richards The St. John Ambulance Durham Region Branch would like to rent space at the old Bowmanvillc Fire Station on Church Street. The organization could pay the municipality between $300 to $500 per month for 500 square feet of space, said Dale Hache, Area Operations Advisor of the branch. Speaking to Clarington Councillors on Monday night, May 13, Hache said, the 871 Brigade Division is growing and needs space for training of recruits. The need for space has reached a critical stage since "our current facility at Memorial Hospital is no longer available after May 31, 1996." "We feel this location would be ideal for our purposes, as we require separate offices for brigade personnel and a larger training area," Hache explained. This happy one-year-old is the youngest member of The Statesman staff. Miranda Nicole James, daughter of Kim and Rick James, celebrated her first birthday on May 2nd, 1996. Her four-year-old sister, Morgan, helped celebrate Miranda's birthday along with grandparents Jeanette and Jon Hancock, and Dorothy and John James. In Brief Lotto Luck A Clarington couple got a pleasant surprise this week when they went to collect their lottery winnings at a local retailer. Fred Anderson, age 65, and his wife Lorraine, 66, thought they had matched only three numbers in the Saturday, May 11 6/49 Encore draw. But when Fred showed his ticket to the clerk he was informed they had matched all six. Fred broke the good news to his wife, telling her "we won $25 and a whole lot of zeros." The couple plan to share their $250,000 prize with their son and daughter and five grandchildren. They also want to buy a new truck and pave the driveway. Fred Anderson is retired from General Motors where he worked for 17 years.
