Box 190,62 King Street West, Bowmanville, Ontario, L1C 3K9 Second Class Mall Permit No, 1561 Mural Project Seeks Sponsors by Lorraine Manfredo Staff Writer A second mural depicting historic downtown Bowmanvillc is getting plenty of attention on King Street. The 10 by 16-foot painting, painting, installed on the east wall of The Book Studio last week, shows a bustling street scene from the four corners intersection of Temperance and King Slrccl circa 1910. Dominating the painting are the old Ontario Bank and the red brick Post Office, two fine architectural examples which stood side but side directly in front of the where the mural now hangs. The landmarks were torn down in 1966 and 1971 respectively. An earlier mural showing the Glover livery business was put up earlier this summer summer on the Pam Tile building near Scugog Street. Driving the project is the fear that Bowmanville may be losing touch with its roots, said Keith Swan one of the project organizers at town council meeting on Monday night. "As wc approach the millennium, millennium, the town is expanding, expanding, and it is not only moving out from its core, but away from its heritage," lie said. Keith Swan and Kevin Anyan initiated the project and arc currently seeking sponsors for more murals downtown. They appeared before Clarington Council on September 14th to request financial support and seek permission to put one mural on the outdoor Town Hall staircase by the cenotaph or possibly the old fireball. All murals would celebrate celebrate the downtown's proud past. The project was fortunate to receive sponsorship from Wcbco, a local manufacturer of commercial and industrial lighting, overhead doors and cranes, for the latest mural. Mike Brcscc, Wcbco's general manager, told The Statesman that the company decided to pitch in financially "because Bowmanvillc is such a great spot and wc wanted to support the community." community." Earlier on Monday, artist Todd Trcmccr added the finishing finishing touches and his signature signature to the newest mural and watched as a sign telling the history of the buildings was installed as well. A unique feature about the Ontario Bank were apartments apartments on the upper two floors with bar and ballroom for entertainment purposes. Anyan said the murals arc a good way to generate an interest and pride in the downtown. "The response to them is truly unbelievable," he said. "The artist's rendering has such an impact. People stare at it for a long period of time, just like you would a piece of fine art." He credits the City of Oshawa for its downtown murals but says ours are better. better. "Ours arc fine art. Oshawa has more commercial art." Letters arc being sent lo service clubs, community organizations, and businesses asking for support. Sponsors may contribute a full $2,500 for the cost of a single mural or donate $600 for one of the four panels needed to make a complete mural. Councillors voted on Monday to reserve judgement on giving financial support or permitting a mural to be hung on any town building until staff have had a chance to review the matter and report back. Mayor Hantrc did say, however, that siic lias been advised by staff that it "may not be wise" to have a mural on municipal buildings, "because you get into the situation situation where you can't please everyone." She mentioned that the wrought iron fence around the cenotaph had been painted painted three times until it was finally decided to settle on dark green, which tied in with the trim on the building. The mural project organizers organizers have five tentative sites for future murals, all on privately-owned privately-owned buildings. They hope lo have 10 completed over the next two years. 'ALn -, 1 WwwwVw.eZIrS? 1 m ' ' New Mural In Town A plan to install a series of murals celebrating celebrating historic downtown Bowmanville recently recently got a boost from Webco, a local manufacturer manufacturer and seller of cranes and hoists. Webco provided funds for the creation of a mural depicting a scene at the four comers circa 1910. Webco owners Alan and Dave Webb (at left) and general manager Mike Bresee (far right) joined mural project organizers Keith Swan and Kevin Anyan (centre) and artist Todd Tremeer (holding paint) to hang a printed sign noting some fascinating fascinating facts about the old Ontario Bank and the old Post Office.
