< v 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 5,1986 $45,000 for Man in Motion From Page One managed to continue to accomplish his goals and compiled an impressive string of achievements even before embarking on his worldwide wheelchair wheelchair tour. For example, Rick was the first disabled person to enrol in the physical education faculty at Univer-. sity of British Columbia. ; i He won 19 international wheelchair wheelchair marathon races, competed nationally nationally for teams, in basketball and volleyball, coached a variety of sports and has appeared as an ambassador for Canadian wheelchair athletes. In 1983, he shared the Lou Marsh trophy for Canada's*-Outstanding Athlete of the Year with hockey great Wayne Gretzky. "There's nothing man can't do if he believes in it and sets his mind to it," Rick says. And while his tour is a vivid demonstration demonstration of the need to see the disabled disabled for what they can do rather than what they can't do, it is also a fund-raising effort for spinal cord research, research, wheelchair sport, and rehabilitation rehabilitation programs. The young athlete is convinced that the day will come when spinal cord injuries can be successfully treated. "I know that one day people are going to be able to walk away from an injury like mine and a wheelchair will be something you see in a museum." Rick says. Presentations to Rick Hansen were made in the Town of Newcastle by a number of community groups, including including local Kinsmen clubs who provided provided much of the manpower needed to organize the visit. Some, but by no means all, of the donors were: The Bowmanville Lions Club; the Newcastle Lioness Club; the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 178; the St. Stephen's School; and The Bowmanville Bowmanville High School. Newcastle Mayor John Winters also presented the campaign campaign with a contribution on behalf of the Town of Newcastle at a reception reception held in Oshawa. Of the funds raised in the Durham Region, organizers estimate that about $12,000 came from local McDonalds Restaurants; $1,000 came from the City of Oshawa; $1,000 was contributed by the Town of Newcastle Newcastle and $2,700 was collected by employees employees of General Motors. Women Honored Thursday The Oshawa YWCA again celebrates the achievements of women in Durham Region at the Fifth Women of Distinction Dinner on Thursday, November 6th at the Lions Community Centre in Bowmanville. The guest speaker is Mrs. Ellen Campbell, Executive Director of the YWCA of Metropolitan Toronto, and Co-ordinating Executive Director, Ontario Area Council. Mrs. Campbell was educated in the United States, with a Masters degree in Education from Harvard and taught school and spent six years in educational research. Mrs. Campbell was the YWCA of Canada representative to the Nairobi '85 Forum. In describing her experience there, Ellen mentioned the parallels women share not in solutions but in problems. Ellen recalled a large globe outside the Peace tent where women wrote their "peace messages" and took a picture. Sensing something odd about it, she realized that she was seeing the globe from the Southern Hemisphere. Having seen the world from upside down, Ellen doubts if she will see only "our half of it" from now on. The Women of Distinction Dinner besides a celebration is also a major fund-raiser for the Oshawa YWCA, the proceeds support Women's programs, locally, nationally and internationally.

The decision was reached during Monday's Monday's General Purpose Committee meeting and awaits final approval at town council next week. Councillors decided they wanted a priorities list after first learning of the job program whose costs would be shared with Darlington Park. The program offers employment to seven workers for an 18-week period beginning on Nov. 17. Mayor John Winters was first to question the program, asking Community Community Services Director Jan Devantier why committee committee hadn't received a final report on the 1985- 86 program the town sponsored. After learning that a report was coming pending pending completion of the program, Mayor Winters suggested council should have a priorities list of the most important jobs needing work in the upcoming year. He argued that the work created in the program program should be "extra" work which wouldn't be done by town employees. "We should be taking advantage of this additional additional work that maybe would have been put aside," he said. Councillor Ann Cowman Cowman agreed that a priorities list should be created. She said council council should take a more active interest in the work programs and Search on for More Space For Museum shouldn't be waiting for UIC to approach the town. "We should be going to them and saying, 'how many men can we have?"' she said. "We should prepare the shopping shopping list of things we want done." An argument against the proposal was then made by Councillor Diane Harare. She said the priorities list is a good idea for future years but she opposed trying to create one for the upcoming season. She said council could risk delaying the program's program's start time two weeks from now. Community Services Director Jan Devantier added that a report on the project came to committee committee close to the beginning beginning of the work because UIC only recently discovered discovered a surplus in this year's funds. He said it was that surplus which allowed UIC to make the offer this year. However, committee voted in favor of the creation creation of a priorities' list for this year, while simultaneously approving approving the program. Under the joint venture, venture, creation of work at a cost of about $58,000 would be created for seven people currently collecting unemployment. unemployment. The town would pay $1,839 for their share of the plan, with CEIC picking picking up the rest of the cost. Work proposed to be done includes the paint- by Rob Savage The Town of Newcastle; and our local museums will be looking for a new site to i, store and display local ar-,> tifacts. "This to me is a major step forward and I think it's just great," Councillor Diane Ilamre said in support of the motion which was approved approved during Monday's General Purpose Committee Committee meeting. The search for a new location location was one of the conclusions conclusions reached during a special round-table discussion discussion among museum representatives representatives and councillors last Friday. Discussion led to a resolution resolution which will see museum officials working with town staff and Chief Administrative Officer Larry Kotseff to try and find a new facility. The new site would store and display surplus items from both existing museums, which would in turn be reaffirmed in their present roles as interpretive interpretive museums. The recommendation will be sent to both boards for comments. It will also come before council next week, although favorable comments comments at Monday's committee committee meeting suggest the proposal should be approved. approved. Councillor Ann Cowman, the chairman of Friday's round-table discussion, said a new facility would allow for the proper storage of items which the existing museums don't have room for. She added that the decision decision is a large step forward for the town.

And Councillor Harare noted that the town was getting a significant bargain bargain for the small amount it would cost. "I say 'go for it,"' she said. Chairmen Positions From 1 Councillor Hal McKnight said it might be a good idea to vote people into positions for only six months. He said councillors could then assess their roles half-way through the elected term. And Mayor John Winters suggested people might wish to switch positions. positions. He said councillors might want as much exposure as possible during the three-year period. He also warned that keeping people in the same jobs might allow individuals to steer a department in certain directions. But Councillor Harare disputed both men's arguments. She said most Page One people have access to all departments departments and added that retaining the current positions would create stability. stability. And Councillor Cowman pointed - out that every person feels responsible responsible under the current system. She said council used to have separate separate subcommittees meet and then bring their findings to council. That system was replaced with General General Purpose Committee meetings after it was found councillors couldn't agree with the decisions reached by other subcommittees.
