The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, November 18, 1998 The Old Bank of Montreal Page 5 From page 1 prominent citizens and a senator from 1867 until his death in 1885, founded the Ontario Bank in 1857. "John Simpson started the bank because he didn't like the way the Bank of Montreal treated sinfill business and farmers," explains Taws. . - The bank was briefly located in/ the building which currently houses The Canadian Statesman, on King Street in Bowmanvillc. Soon after it opened, branches were started in Whitby, Oshawa, Port Hope, Port Perry, Lindsay and Montreal. "The bank was a going concern," says Taws. In 1866, construction on the handsome three- storey structure of brick with a stone facade was commenced at the corner of King and Temperance Streets. The bank was completed in 1868. In 1906, the Ontario Bank failed, and the Bowmanvillc office became a branch of the Bank of Montreal. 'Quite Common' According to local architect Reg Freclhy, who as a toddler actually lived in an apartment in the building, tearing down large, old, ornate structures structures wasn't at all unusual in the late 1960s. "It was quite common in North America at that time to just erase and start from a clean slate," says Frecthy. "A building of that nature today would Local Man Stars in TV Ad for SAAN From page 1 series of five commercials hosted by Rostad, highlighting highlighting SAAN shoppers from across the country. Each of the shoppers was chosen through a contest which asked customers to submit stories about themselves, describing why they consider consider themselves interesting or unique. Over 1,700 entries were received. In Fletcher's case, his fiddles got him the gig in the commercial. "I enjoy making fiddles -- not the classic fiddles. I just sort of like to experiment," experiment," says the 72-ycar-old music enthusiast. And, experiment, he does. A fiddle-maker since he was about 18 years old, Fletcher now has a dozen extraordinary fiddles, made of everything from hockey sticks to aluminium to pieces of chrome water pipe. And all of the unusual fiddles arc fully capable of producing music. Ten of his fiddles arc seen displayed on a mantelpiece during the commercial, which will ran nationally November 22 - 28, and December 13 - 19. The advertisement was shot in Calgary in July. The company sent a man to carefully carefully pack Fletcher's fiddles to ensure they arrived out west intact. And, a chauf- feured limousine delivered Fletcher to the airport, and then from the airport to his hotel in Calgary. Fletcher spent about 12 hours on the set of the commercial. commercial. But, not all the time was spent working. 1-Ie even got a chance to play one of his fiddles, accompanied by Rostad on guitar. A little shy at first, Fletcher says, when he saw Rostad was playing, lie asked the director's permission permission to play along. "Wayne and I got right into the heavy blues," says Fletcher, a long-time country country music fan, who has, in recent years, gravitated toward different kinds of music, especially blues. Fletcher says the experience experience in Calgary was so much fun, he'd love to do it again. "If the agency ever wanted wanted someone to do a similar thing, I certainly would break both legs and arms getting to Toronto to do it for them," he admits. Fletcher is not only looking looking forward to the commercial commercial premiere Saturday. He also hopes to get the chance to play for the people at Bowmanville's SAAN store. "I've always played. Any time anybody ever invited me to play, I'd go out there and give it my hardest try," he says.

Among these problems are the lack of access to resources such as computers computers and poor opportunities for social development of students new to the secondary secondary schools. It is felt by all students that this dispute has gone far beyond a short term loss for a long term gain, for many students arc facing facing irrevocable detrimental effects. The students feel that the situation is completely completely unacceptable. If the purpose of the current deliberations is truly to better the education system system for our students, the demands of the students must be met and included in a compromise that is suitable for all parties concerned. concerned. It is unfair for the KPR school board and the OSSTF to be negotiating for the students without taking our opinions and hardships into serious consideration. consideration. It is hoped that the KPR school board and the OSSTF will return to negotiations immediately and remain there until a resolution is attained. Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Student Senate.

"They thought it was progress," laments Taws. "The heritage movement just wasn't that strong then." Long-time Bank of Montreal Manager John Jones says ,"I guess it just didn't fit into what they had planned" for a banking centre. A study done by consultants in the early 1960s pointed out a number number of reasons to build a new facility, rather than making changes to the old one. Not only did the actual actual bank have a very high ceiling and massive rooms, which meant enormous heating costs, but the upper levels of the building building would also have to be dealt with. "To convert it was going to be a huge job," says Jones. Lesson In Preservation The original building would best be described architecturally as ornate Victorian. Enormously large, the building actually, actually, in its early days, doubled doubled as the home of the bank manager. Because of the type of entertaining the manager of a bank was expected to do, the residential residential part of the building actually housed a formal ballroom. And, according to Taws, the structure was of extraordinarily strong construction. "The bank was so well built they had to dismantle it piece by piece," shares the museum curator. Remnants of the bank can still be found at various various locations in Bowmanville. In fact, the town's museum on Silver Street is now home to the original mantelpiece of the building. Taws says the demolition demolition of the old bank building building should be a lesson in preservation. "If people can't see the need for saving old buildings buildings after that, they never will. Once it's gone, it's gone -- it can't be replaced. That's your history, history, that's your ambience," ambience," he says. . Aside from the preser-. vation factor, Taws has another reason to lament the demolition of the huge old building. "It would have made an excellent museum," says the curator. Look Who's Turning Two!

Phm. In the days before antibiotics, pneumonia terminated life of many in the end stages of other diseases. Today we have antibiotics and a vaccine to help prevent pneumonia complications. The vaccine is 90% effective. Who should get this vaccine! The same group that is recommended to have flu shots ... those over 65 with chronic disease states like heart disease, diabetes, asthma and kidney disease. Reactions to the pneumonia vaccine are minimal. Check with your doctor. Speaking of vaccines, there is a bit of complacency creeping into tlie Canadian psyche about vaccines and disease prevention. It Is very important to ensure that children receive all the "shots" to prevent diseases like measles, mumps, tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. Check with the public health unit to check on what's needed for your child. Vaccines do work. The annual number of cases of measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis and pertussis has decreased by over 95%. Polio Is no longer a threat to our children. Soon Hepatitis B will be under control. This Is all due to vaccinations. Risks arc minimal. Benefits arc enormous. Your pharmacist keeps up to date with all the advances in the world of medications.

BQ N iff I J:ii iT -'ll \' r j THE SPINAL COLUMN If you could create the most satisfying healing system imaginable, what would you recommend! Most of us would want a natural method, one that utilizes the body's own abilities to promote internal healing and on-going wellness. Dangerous drugs would not be used and frightening surgeries would not be performed. If it sounds like such a system is too good to be true, you are in for a pleasant surprise. There is such a system of healing. While the Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese all have records of crude, non-specific attempts to manipulate the spine, true chiropractic began in 1895. To date millions of people have benefited from this non-medical, drug free health care. Chiropractic is the largest natural primary health care profession in the world. It's one of the most praised yet most misunderstood of all tire health care disciplines. The 'Spinal Column' is dedicated to removing the myths surrounding chiropractic, and providing accurate and crucial information that is essential for the health and wellness of you and your family. Chiropractic is practiced by over 50,000 doctors around the world and each year more than 7500 new doctors are graduating. The number of chiropractors could double and there still would be a shortage of chiropractors to serve the needs of our population. Chiropractic is the fastest growing health care choice in tire world today. Canadian chiropractors arc proud of the fact that chiropractic was discovered by a Canadian. A man by the name of Daniel David (D.D.) Palmer, born in Port Perry, Ontario. D.D. Palmer was said to have a tremendous appetite for learning and a fascination with the inner workings of the human body, On September 1, 1895, D.D. Palmer performed his first spinal adjustment on a janitor, Harvey billard, who had been deaf for seventeen years. Tire mans' hearing returned, anti because of the success of Palmers' spinal adjustment, the modern recorded history of chiropractic began, Over the succeeding months, other patients came to him with diverse problems including flu, sciatica, migraine headaches, stomach complaints, epilepsy and heart problems. D.D. Palmer found each of these conditions responded well to the adjustments. He coined the term chiropractic from tire Greek words, C/tiro, meaning (hand) and pructic, meaning (practice or operation). Often surprised at the effectiveness of his adjustments, D.D. Palmer returned to his studies of anatomy and physiology to learn more about the vial connection between tire spine and one's health. He realized spinal adjustments were correcting VERTEBRAL SUBLU, NATIONS, (nerve interference), which were causing the patients' complaints. Based on the body's ability to heal itself and aided by the chiropractors' ability to correct the nerve interference - chiropractic often brings an end to needless suffering from pain anil ailments in natural ways unknown in any other health discipline. It is one of the most effective healing methods available today.
