But day care also benefits the kids in many ways. It offers the chance for children to interact with kids their own age. Day care gives children the experience experience of being away from home for the first time and, most importantly, the chance to continue learning and growing. The experience gained as a child in a day care setting is invaluable and YWCA day care has yet another benefit benefit at its centre in the Newcastle Public School. The shock of leaving friends and becoming a student student at a big new school may be frightening for young children. But because the YWCA is located in the Newcastle Public School, students attending day care will often continue their kindergarten and primary education at Newcastle Public School. Since they are already accustomed to a school setting, the adjustment adjustment is not as great. The YWCA day care originally originally was a small centre founded by Mrs. Hobbs of Newcastle. Day care was initially initially offered in her home but later moved to the Parish Hall of the United Church. When Mrs. Hobbs gave up the day care centre the YWCA took it over and has been operating the centre for about seven years. The YWCA day care centre employs two fulltime fulltime and two part-time staff. Supervisor Annette Rowe said each staff member is a qualified in- sturctor with an Early Childhood Education diploma. diploma. The morning program at YWCA is structured into four sections including circle circle time, which is always based on a theme each day; snack and story time; lunch and two free playtimes. The afternoon, however, is an unstructured schedule. The younger children will generally generally nap from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., while the older children will rest for only Wheelbarrow Races a Feature at Annual Church Picnic about one hour and join in outdoor activities for the remainder remainder of the time. Special Special events at the day care include include one trip per week to the Newcastle Public Library Library and a monthly field trip. Since the day care is now located in the Newcastle Public School, there are children attending morning and afternoon sessions only. Kindergarten students students will spend either the morning or afternoon in class and then return for their other session in the day care centre. This routine prepares the children children for a full day of school and also helps out the working working mothers, since there is no need to pick up and drop off children at different schools. Play-doh, puppet shows, games, songs, and playing store or playing house are all a part of the children's agenda at the day care. The YWCA day care centre presently presently has an enrollment of 32 children for their upcoming upcoming year. Becoming a part of the Newcastle Public School has allowed the day care students to take part in the Newcastle-Newtonville Public Schools Newsletter. Grade six students are designated designated as editors and will tour the classrooms preparing preparing articles on each room. Day care students are given the chance to speak with the students and offer ideas on articles. The newsletter also gives the students a chance to see themselves in printed photographs and allows allows their parents to read about their child's accomplishments. accomplishments. YMCA day care is also involved involved in the Clarke High School co-op program, offering offering hands-on work experience experience to students, and the Durham College placement placement program. The age range of children attending the centre is two and a half to five years. Annette Rowe says: "We want to make our day care centre like home for the kids. They are given choices and do not follow a strict routine to keep them from getting bored." Twenty kids were on hand for the Drop-In Storytime last Thursday at the Bowmanville Library. They were treated to a film and Linda Taylor's read- r T .TAKE ^TIME . s' N'v - ■' fl- ' TAKE ; A L.TAKE-/ m ."i PROTECT CANADA'S FORESTS dfe Pre-school storytimes will get underway once again this fall at the Bowmanville Bowmanville and Newcastle branches of the Newcastle Library System.

Toddler Time begins on What to Do for Our Champs Free Lifesaver Tags Arrive Statistics show that one in five children will end up in an emergency room sometime this year. Almost all of them who are not with parents have none or incomplete emergency emergency information, making more difficult the performance performance of police, paramedics, emergency room nurses and doctors. Due to the fact that today's society is more mobile and that there are more working and single parents, it is important important for children to carry some type of emergency information information with them at all times. Lifesaver Charities, a nonprofit nonprofit organization, has designed a small machine washable tag, a little larger than a postage stamp, which can be filled out by parents with an ordinary ball point pen and sewn into clothing or implemented in footwear. This tag gives emergency information to emergency service personnel to maximize care if a child is injured. Lifesaver Charities has arranged for these Emergency Emergency Alert Tags to be given free at schools, police, block parents and K-MartStores. Lifesaver tags are always free "Be A Lifesaver, Tag Your Children." by Rob Savage No one likes to talk about the agony of defeat. And now it seems even the thrill of victory is difficult to discuss. So the municipal politicians have appointed a committee to decide how to best congratulate those people who have won a major event. Their decision came at last week's General Purpose Committee meeting after acting mayor Ann Cowman discussed discussed some of the problems she had encountered after the Canadian Tire Midgets won the Ontario Championships Championships for the second year in a row. Councillor Cowman said she received received a phone call asking her to approve approve town funding for the victory, celebrations which came after the win. She said she had told the caller she didn't know what the town policy was for such events and that she couldn't guarantee them money for the celebrations. celebrations. ■ ' " The caller then told her that former mayor Garnet Rickard had paid for the food and drinks given to the team last year. Upon checking the accounts for last year during the meeting last night, Councillor Cowman confirmed that Mr. Rickard had paid $275 for the celebrations, although it appeared he had given the money from his own funds. Councillor Diane Hamre said she had done the bookkeeping for five years and knew that some victory celebrations had been paid for by the town, and that this had always concerned concerned her. She said she had two major concerns. concerns. One was that the town had no formal policy for treating its heroes and the other was that the other councillors councillors never knew when money was being used for the celebrations. She said she could understand why the coaches of last week's winning team might think the town would flip the bill. "I think it had just been built up and accepted over the years," she said. She added that she feels there has to be a policy for these situations. Councillor Cowman agreed. She said she was very confused when the request for money came to her. "We wanted to say to the team, well done." But she confirmed that she was convinced convinced she should not approve the request request she received on the telephone. And Councillor Marie Hubbard said she would never support using town money for victory celebrations. She said she was in favor of accolades and presentations, "but you can't have arenas and parks and spend $600 on pizzas." She said the mayor's budget also shouldn't be used for those types of affairs. She said it's alright for the mayor to use his allotted money to help commercial development and promote the town, "but he better not be promoting his own political butt." Councillor Hamre then made a motion motion to have a committee formed which would look into the matter and decide upon a town policy for recognizing recognizing an achievement. Councillor Cowman was appointed to that committee, along with Jan De- vantier, the director of community services, David Oakes, the town clerk/ administrator, and John Blanchard, the town treasurer.
