Ordno Weeýkiy Tine s..Wednesda(iy, October 28, 19)98 - 3 Generous Iibrar-y donation Fr om A r oL 1In a reception Thursday evening, library patrons and friends paid tribute to irene Rinch for lier generous donation to the Newcastle Village Brandi of the Clarington Library. Because of lier advanced age, Ms. Rincl wlio now lives in Toronto, could not be present. The donation of four Public Access Catalogue Work Stations were graciously accepted in lier honour. Ms. Rincli formerly of Newcastle always enjoyed coming to the Library, and always expressed great support for it. Long time friend of Irene Rinch; Hazel Crago sits at one of the work stations. Boad of trade amandate Tlie most cost-effective method of promoting the Municipality of Clarington globally is througli the world wide web. The Municipality's web site receives an-average of 560 visits per day. The Marketing, Tourism and Economic Development Office was recently reviewed, and that report was before council on Monday evening. The report states the man- date of the Marketing, Tourism and Economic Development Office since its inception has been to promote the Municipality to businesses' operating inside- and outside the municipal boundaries. Events sucli as the, two Clarington Days at the CNE (1994 anýd 1997), participation in the Ontario Rodeo Championiships (1995 and 1996), the 'Day in the Life of Clarington' photo contest (1998) and tlie Clarington Day at the Fair (1998) ail con- tributed to rais ing tlie aware- ness and profile of this commu- nity, states the report. These events, the -report claims, have also enhanced the sense of community that lias become a trademark of Clarington. In December-1997, Council approved a report that recom- mended a partnership with the business -community that would relocate the services of eco- nomic development to the pri- vate sector. Since that time the the Chef Administrative Officer and the Marketing and Tourism Officer have been working witl tlie business community to establish and formalize a 'Clarington-specif- ic' Board of Trade. 1That Board of Trade is in the final stages of being incor- porated under the Canadian "Boards of Trade Act". In a recent presentation to Council, Michael Patrick, President of the Board, indicated that tlie Board would be embarking on an executive search for a suit- able Economic Development Officer sometime in early 1999. Once the Board of Trade takes over economic develop- ment, the Marketing & Tourism Office will be able to focus its efforts on promoting and implementing the market- ing strategy for the Municipality of Clarington. The responsibility for busi- ness attraction and business retention is identified as the major focus of the Board of Trade's mandate. Ic is not about birds this week but I do want to tell about an'experience that I tlioroughly enjoyed Sunday evening. The use of the word 'tliorouglily' is very under- rating. As most are aware I do like music both as a listener and a player. So for starters the event was a musical presentation, live on stage, by an electrifylng group of seven- fiddlers and four rhythm, (guitar, drum kit and percussion and keyboard and bass). And further the pre sentation was by a group of eleven most energetic musiclans from 18 to 23 years of age. 'Barrage' has been touring fromn coast to coast in Canada, in the southern U.S. and as well in Britain. They appeared in Bow- With economic develop- ment out of the way, the Marketing & Tourism Office will be free to pursue future opportunities sucli as a hotel/conference/seminar facili- ty. The report states that it lias long been identified that the lack of hotel space is a severe handicap for Clarington's tourisin idustry. In addition to the hotel initiative, a major future challenge is the 25th Anniversary of Clarington and the year 2000. The report states the Clarington Board of Trade's responsibilities include al future economic development activities. Overali, the respon- sibility for business attraction and business retention is identi- fied as the major focus of the Board of Trade's mandate.
