June 4,1983. Dear Sir: In reply to the movement to change the name "Town of Newcastle" to the "Town of Bowmanville" we would like to make a few comments. comments. In these days when our history is fast being lost, we decry the insensitivity of the Provincial Government in further eroding that loss by establishing policies, such as regionalism, which tend to ignore Municipalities Municipalities such as Bowmanville. Bowmanville. However, the name Bowmanville describes a municipality which has no great historical significance significance outside the borders of that municipality. To change the name of the now Town of Newcastle to the Town of Bowmanville, at this late date, to encompass encompass historically significant 850 z Zip',.' : z : > Deanna Stalker of Ontario Street School gives it her all in the shot put competition. villages and hamlets, such as Courtice, Newcastle, Oroho, Leskard, Hampton, Solina, Newtonville, Tyrone and others would have no basis in common sense.

In addition, the major expense expense of changing over, along with the confusion caused, would not ibe justified. justified. Bowmanville, as a beautiful beautiful town, in the (Regional) Town of Newcastle will, we hope, survive for all time, but please let us not muddy up our history more than has been done to date.

Maybe it could be cleared up if the name of Newcastle Village were changed to something else historical like Mas- seyville or Lovekinburg, but I doubt if anyone could sell that idea. The Town of Bowmanville may not be big in the history books, but it certainly would be a simple solution to' the problem. Take a walk, eh?
