In November of 1987, the NCSAB began receiving applications applications from organizations organizations in the Town. Each group requested a municipal municipal grant, from the Corporation Corporation of the Town of Newcastle, Newcastle, to assist with group activities activities during 1988. ' It was ■ the duty of the NCSAB, as an advisory board to council, to review the requests submitted and recommend the amount of money awarded to each group. . The Advisory Board heard delegations on December December 2, one day after the application deadline. Three NCSAB subcommittees subcommittees were then formed to ;study the requests. They .presented their final re- !commendations at the Jan uary 6, NCSAB meeting. Working with a budget of $76,000, excluding funding for the museums, the NCSAB recommended grants in excess of $82,000 be awarded to various groups in the Town. Recreational organizations organizations received the majority of the funds from the NCSAB budget,gettingover $46,000 of budget money. Of the 14 recreational groups that applied, only three groups were denied funding. The Bowmanivlle Minor Hockey Association (BMHA) was denied their request of $3,500. "We reviewed their accounts accounts and from that determined determined that a grant is not needed by this organization. organization.

Commissioner of Planning Oshawa Ski Jumping Club did not receive funding because because their 1988 budget showed an excess of income over expenditures. The recreational organizations organizations which received the largest grants were the Lions Community Centre receiving $8,000 and the Newcastle Community Hall Board receiving $11,000. The remaining recreational recreational groups were awarded the grant they requested or slightly less, as determined by each subcommittee. The NCSAB' recommended recommended to the Town that all civic applicants receive funds. Most of the recommended recommended grants were within a few hundred dollars of the original grant request. However one exception was made. The Durham Central Agricultural Society Society received only $9000. The Agricultural Society's recommended recommended grant was $6000 less than their request. request. "This is the same amount as we gave them last year and we think it should be sufficient to carry them through 1988," said Arlene Yeo, whose subcommittee addressed civic applicants. The Oshawa and District Credit Counselling Service and St. John Ambulance were denied their grant requests. requests. These service groups, it was deemed by the NCSAB, would not be supplying a direct service to the Town with the money granted by the Town. "The money for St. John Ambulance would go directly directly to Oshawa and we would only see a small aqiount of it here in Bowmanville, Bowmanville, as would the Oshawa Counselling Service," Service," said Milt Dakin, chairman of the NCSAB. The Salvation Army's grant request was denied on the basis that the committee's committee's policy did not allow them to provide municipal funds for religious religious organizations. The remaining community community service groups which applied for grants were given amounts of money within a few hundred dollars dollars of their requests. The requests made by cultural cultural groups in the Town of Newcastle revealed to the NCSAB a growing problem in the area, which they put forward to the Town. "We have a big problem with all three of our cultural cultural facilities (Bowmanville (Bowmanville and Clarke Museums and the Visual Arts Centre), and their ever increasing budgets. We feel the council must take a firm stand and find a solution to this problem," problem," stated the report, which will be forwarded to council. The NCSAB recommended recommended that a complete audit be done on all three facilities and this be used as a base in 1989 to control increasing costs. None of the cultural facilities facilities received their grant request in full. The Bowmanville Bowmanville Museum received $45,000. That's about $4000 less than their request. The NCSAB members disagreed disagreed over the size of the grant to be recommended for the museum. Some members members suggested the facility be run like a church and be supported through membership, membership, not grants. Others felt the museum was a good deal at the price. Some committee , members suggested the Town is willing willing to spend $5 million on an arena and only needs a few thousand for the museum, both which are used'by only a small percentage percentage of the population. Clarke Museum received a $27,000 grant recommendation, recommendation, a 4 per cent increase over last year. The Visual Arts Centre of Newcastle received $17,000 to cover the costs of a sewer hook-up. Late applications received received by the NCSAB were referred directly to council and not considered by the subcommittees Newcastle Town Council will be receiving the grant recommendations made by the NCSAB and reviewing their decisions later this month. The council has the power to adjust any grant recommendation as they see fit. ONLY BOWMANVltl t OSHAWA DODGE: DEALER NGVAR MOTORS LIMITED 1428 KING ST.
