2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, October 9, 1974 Minister with hie Deaf WilI Be Guest Speaker at U.CW. Rev. Sidney C. Bates, minis- ter with the deaf for the Bay of Quinte Conference of the United Church of Canada will be a guest speaker at the Regional Meetings, of the Oshawa Presbyterial U.C.W., to be held in Orono United Church October 21, and Clare- mount United Church, Octo- ber 29. Rev. Bates became inter- ested in communicating with the deaf, while a student for the ministry in college and began to learn the language of the deaf. It was while serving at Norwood that he met several deaf people and be- came interested in preaching to the deaf. This was the start of the Peterborough Church of the Deaf which meets at George St. United Church in a mid-week service. Because families must be ministered to as families and deafness and hearing are found in the same family, the preaching is done verbally, but with the addition o tne manual signs ot tne deaf. In November 1973, Rev. Bates started full time work with the deaf as conference minister for Bay of Quinte Conference with headquarters at the Ontario School for the Deaf in Belleville where he goes weekly to teach religion. While the emphasis in his work is on serving, helping and interpreting for the deaf, a very large part of his work is the informing and educating of the hearing people in the Conference. exterior of the building, but damage is expected to be around $1,500. Fortunately, the brand new lawnmower, valued at $3,500. which was inside the shed escaped harm. Allin Cable Reels Fire Shortly before 11:00, Ernest Knapp was returning home along the.401 when he noticed flames at Allin Cable Reels Ltd. on the Baseline Road. Five lumber piles about six feet high and 10 feet long were ablaze. Fire Chief Hayman points out that if Mr. Knapp had not noticed the fire, it would have taken quite some time to detect the flames from the north because they would have had to top the building before they were visible. Arson Suspected Second Fire at Cemetery Minutes later, at 10:07, another fire was reported at the Bowmanville Cemetery maintenance shed. Respond ing to the call, the fire department noticed that the pipe connecting the outdoor fuel storage tank to the furnace had been removed. The blaze was confined to the was no desire to endanger lives or do extensive property damage. A barn on the Baseline Road and the old canning factory received spe- cial surveillance. No one though of the old high school which was standing empty awaiting renovations. The value of the building seemed to eliminate it from the pattern of previous targets. Spot Smoke at B.H.S. Around 4:30 a.m. Deputy Chief Ray Guislain and fire- man George Moore, turned right on Temperance to avoid a red light and spotted smoke behind the old high school. Thinking it was the garbage containers behind the build- ing, Mr. Guislain got out to check. The interior of the 1892 section was ablaze. More Help Arrives Within minutes, 18 men of the Bowmanville volunteer fire brigade were at the scene. Newcastle Fire Hall No. 2 responded with seven men and an aerial ladder and four men arrived from Oshawa. With 5,300 feet of hose using over 2,000 gallons of water per! minute the men battled the :laze as the day dawned. Two False Alarms Around 5:00 a.m. two more alarms were received. For- tunately, both proved to be false alarms as people mis- took the source of the shooting flames for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. and the arena respectively. Of course, the standby pumper had to leave the fire to investigate each of these alarms. At the Goodyear plant, the pumper was inad- vertently backed into a cul- vert and broke the back springs and shackles and also put a hole in the water tank. The truck is now in the garage for repairs. At 10:30 a.m. the aerial ladder was returned to Osh- awa but the Bowmanville men did not return to the fire hall until 4:45 p.m. The fire rekindled at 11:30 p.m. and the men were called back but within 30 minutes this fire was out. During the night, several routine checks were made on the eutted building but there was no further recurrence. Food for Firefighters "Everybody worked bard", says Chief Hayman.
