The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, April 28, 1999 Page 5 SEEN AND HEARD MUSEUM NEEDS VOLUNTEERS VOLUNTEERS -- Over a dozen students from nearby Central Sehool were hard at work with rakes and garbage bags last week. They were cleaning up the lawns of the Bowmanvillc Museum. The museum needs more volunteers to help keep the lawns and gardens in shape this summer. If you can help, call the museum at 623-2734. LAKE LEVELS DROPPING -- Environment Canada tells us that the water levels on the Great Lakes are at their lowest level in 10 years. Lake Ontario is 50-65 centimetres lower than it was this time last year. A high rate of evaporation caused by the warm weather of 1998 is partly to blame for this phenomenon, along with a slightly lower rate of precipitation. precipitation. Environment Canada docs have some good news, however. Their experts predict levels will rise over the next several months by 10 to 30 centimetres. Lake Ontario is still well above its record low level which occurred in 1935. COMMITTEES, COMMITTEES -- The newly-formed Greater Toronto Services mega-board has apparently been forming committees at an alarming rate. To keep track of the committees and investigate the need for committees already set up, the board has decided to -- you guessed it -- form a committee, We thought the role of the GTSB was to be mainly the co-ordination of GO Transit. Do we delect an expansion of the mega-board's powers? Students Collect Donations for Refugees Students at St. Francis of Assisi School in Newcastle worked to collect more than 40 boxes of donations including clothing, toys and toiletries for refugees in Kosovo.

Roy Taylor Fellowship and Pot Luck Luncheon to follow the 11 a.m. worship by Jennifer Stone Staff Writer Regional Chair Roger Anderson will have a driver available to him at "all reasonable reasonable times," thanks to the budget budget passed last week by Durham Council. Oshawa Councillor Bob Boychyn asked that an additional additional $9,100 be placed in the budget to allow for a driver for the Chairman. "It is incumbent on this council to provide a sufficient amount of money so that a driver driver can drive you within all reasonable reasonable times," said Boychyn. Driver Warranted In the original budget, just over $2,000 had been set aside, to provide Anderson with a driver during the busy Christmas season. But Clarington Mayor Diane Hamre felt, given the number of hours worked by the chair, that a driver driver was. warranted on a more frequent frequent basis. "It's a serious concern," she said. "One night, you're going to be driving home after an 18 hour day, and you're going to fall asleep at the wheel and kill yourself and somebody else." Anderson said he's pleased with council's decision. "What it does is it gives me the flexibility that if I have a really busy schedule, I can use him," said Anderson. "I don't think I'll ever use the whole $11,000." "There is some merit to it," he added. GTA Committee Obsolete? Is the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) Mayor and Chairs Committee obsolete? obsolete? The question was asked at Wednesday's meeting of Durham Regional Council. "Why is there a GTA mayors and chairs committee anymore?" asked Ajax Mayor Steve Parrish. "Whether we like it or not, that group has been superseded by the GTSB (Greater Toronto Services Board)," agreed Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond. Meet Monthly The group of Mayors and Chairs has met monthly for the past several years. While the group's original mandate was simply to discuss economic economic development for the various municipalities making up the GTA, Clarington mayor Diane Hamre said that soon changed. Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion, chair of the committee, soon broadened the group's agenda so they were dealing with a number of other issues. &t. haul's Entteb Cljurclj 178 Church Street Bowmanville Rev.

It was back in 1970 that a neurologist in the U.S. discovered L-Dopa, a drug given to Parkinson's patients to help increase the amount of dopamine in their bodies and thus reduce the effects of the disease. It is still used today to help patients with this debilitating disease.
