Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvilîe, October 9, 1974 9 D"ebating Could '-Return fo BHS by E.P. Chant In the near future, the sport of friendly hatred could return to take its place in Bowman- ville High School, right in there with football and insult- ing teachers. Myseif and several of my close associates; namely, Donald Childs, Joseph Dai- rymple, and Rob Bryson will iikely play a very important part iîn the resurganice of Kinettes Donc te Three Vaporizers to Hospît ci debating at B.H.S. for the simple reason that we are ý osby the four most know- edgabe abut0te sport at the shooi. Now , this isn't saying too much about our intell- igence or wisdom because of one simple reason - we've come into contact with debat- ing once, but that happens to be once more than most everyone else at the high school.

DATED this 23rd day,4f September, 1974. THE CORPORATION 0F THE TOWN 0F NEWCASTLE (SD. "G. B. Rickard") Mayor (SD. "J. M. Mllroy") Clerk NOTES: 1. The Expropriations Act provides that, (a) where an inquiry is requested, it shaîl be con- ducted by an inquiry officer appointed by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General; (b) the inquiry officer, (i) shali give every party to the inquiry an opportunity to present. evidence and argu- ment and to examine and cross-examine wit- nesses, either personally or by his counsel or. agent, and Three vaporizers wortli approximately $80 eacfl were donateci to the Bowmanville Memorial Hospital by the Bowmanville Kinettes. Lynda McRobbie, chairman of the Kinettes' hospîtal committee, left, and Marilyn Webster, President of t he club, are seen making the presentation. On the receiving end for the hospital are, from lef t to right, Richard Elston, the Hospital Administrator, Tom Cowan, Chairman of the Hospital Board, and Norman Allison, Chairman of the Board's Equipment and Furnishing Committee. The forementioned contact with one of the most inteil- igence-testing sports was pro- vided to us by an invitation to attend a camp of seminars on the intricacies of the debate, held at Camp Kandalore (approximately. fifteen miles north-west of Minden) on the weekend of the twenty-sev- enth of September: So, gather- ing our team, we set off on Friday the twenty-sixth with our coach-chauffeur-spelling expert, Mr. George Walker. After a couple of hours of driving along highways bor- dered by flaming red and orange trees, we arrived at Cam Kandalore. Our group divldted accomudatiuîî-wise, we headed to our damp, uncomfortable cabins whîch we shared with students from thirty-one secondary schools (seven private), from across the province. By the way, just to throw in some facts and figures, there was a total of 112 students and, twenty-nine teachers (of course, the teach- "ers' residence was heavily protected, iess the students decided to attack en masse!) Anyway, after the square dance on Friday night, we were up duli and early the next morning at 7:30 (unless you got up at 6:30 to jog with the co-rdinator of the camp, Tom Lawson) to wait for twenty minutes to get break- fast (the whoie schedule ended up running twenty minutes late). Then, we-went into action (if you can caîl sitting down and li$tening to lectures 'action'). On Saturday we had four seminars: Cooperative in- vestigation; the Elements of the Debate Case - Obligations. of the Affirmative Structure and Argument; the Art of Refutation; Research; plus a lecture on Saturday night on Ethics. Exhausted, I ended Saturday night with a swim, by no choice of my own. A drunken orienteeror from Guelph considered me perfect size to vent his emotions through, and so, offering passive resistance, I was dragged down and chucked into the lake. Obviously, the gentleman was not a debater; hie certainly did not listen to mny argument. Waking at eight, unfortun- ately missing the jog and church service, I staggered down to join my colleagues who were still laughing at my extremely moist appearance of the prior night. Setting al that aside, we soon got back to business, 'hearing lectures on cross-examination and how debate is judged. 0f course, we were given a chance to try out our prowess with our new-fou nd skills, debating informally on Saturday and formally on Sunday, on the topic of mandatory recycling. And so, if one considers conversation, coîd, rainy, damp weather and accommo- dations, and being thrown into a lake entirely dressed as not being fun, I had a rotten time. But if one considers learning a new and valuable skiil as being fun, then 1, and most everyone else, had a riot. OPPReport There were 9 investi- gations into "Theft offences, 2 investigations into "Break, Enter and Theft offences", 5 investigations into complaints of "Wilful d&mage" and 3 investigations, into complaints of assaults. Oler activities included investigations loto reports of missing persons, lost properties and complaints of erratic drivinig. Six persons have been charged with offences under the Liquor Control Act, four persons have been charged with offences under the Crim- mnal Code, and six persons have been charged with driv- ing offences under the Crimi- nal Code. Sti11 No Decision Reached on Parking in At the meeting of the Public Works Committee in Hamptoni on Friday, Sept. 26 thei question of enforcing the by-law which prohibits angle parking in the former Villagei of Newcastle was again dis- cussed. The village Chamber1 of Commerce has not yet tabulated its questionnaire recommendations before making any decision. Since the resignation of engineer Charles Watt, the Town of Newcastle has been operating without a town engineer. Much of the work has been taken over by John Ferguson, the engineering technician, but occasionally the.services of a professional engineer are reouired. An agreement with Totten, Sims, lrkibicKi-Associates tLwu.ted ol Whiby has, been concluded to provide routine engineering needs at a rate 40 per cent Nelwcas fie Vililage below the regular fees sched- uled. The town has reserved theý right to place major contracts (c.g. for bridges etc.) with other consulting firms if it so desires. A discussion on the added burdens of garbage collection in Bowmanville caused by the closing of the north dump was deferred until the next meet- ing due to the absence of Coun. Ivan Hobhs. The Town of Newcastle has a number of roads which are technically "unmaintained,?. This means that the town accepts no responsibiiity for soow removal or rond repairs. On the recommendation of ,Jack Dunham, Director of Public Works, the committee decided to have signs put up on these rnads announcing that they are celosed. The roads may, of course, still be used but at the driver's own risk. The committee decided to consuit with Totten, Sims, Hubicki on the feasibility and cost of preparing a map which would index ahl the town roads and show each road's status. Although there have been newspaper advertisements, the town has had difficulty securing schoïol crossing guards for the former villages of Newtonville and Newcastle. Couti. Entwisles was authoriz- ed by the committee to work with the town clerk to try to find suitable people. Ia addi- tion, a representative of the Ministry of Tratpsportation and Communication will be invited to the next meeting to discuss speed zones, school. crossing regulations andrond ,Ma4rýings-,la t-he .,fornmer, vil- lage of Newtonvilîe. The problems of school crossings in the former village of Newcastle are to be research- ed by'Mrs. Gray, the Deputy Clerk, Coun. Entwistle, and Mr. Dunham, Dîrector of Public, Works. Other vroblemns with speed iimits, notablv on the 3rd Concession and Les- kard Road in former Clarke Township, are being investi- gated by Mr' Ferguson. Dudar Construction is building a road southwest of 115-35 and the,3rd Concession in the former Township of Clarke. It is now too late in the season, to successfully apiy the double coat of surface treatment required. However, the rond must be completed before building permits can be issued. To circumvent this problem, the committee has recommended that a bond be posted to ensure the comple- tion of the road, and that council consider the road as meetine the town's standards Cost of Living Agreement Costs Sourd $501,000, A dministrative staff at the Northumberland - Newcastle Board Of Edûcation have been ,i ordèr that the building permits can be issued. The question of the sewer connections on Edwards Street in the former village of Newcastle was discussed. Mr. Ferguson was delegated to investigate the present state of the work. Street lights in Newtonville was another area of discussion but the question was deferred to later meetings when more complete informa- tion on prices, etc. would be available. given eight per cent pay increases starting September 1.
