The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 10, 1974 Planning Committee Delays Bowmanville's Nuclear Plant The proposed Ontario Hydro nuclear station slated for Bowmanville has hit a road block. Newcastle's planning advisory committee Monday decided to recommend that council withhold consent for the water lot needed to make the nuclear project workable. The committee adopted the recommendation put forward by the town's consultant planner John Layng who said in his report on the Hydro project's need for the water lot consent should be refused 'until Ontario Hydro can supply much more detail information on this project and until the whole matter can be discussed by the planning advisory committee and the council of the Town of Newcastle." As well, committee mem- bers opted for some form of input either from the region or from themselves, into the Solandt Commissions's invest- gation of the proposed Lennox- Oshawa power line, since it will cut a swath across the new town. The water lot needed for the proposed nuclear generating station fronts lots 18 to 24 Broken Front ebcession in what was Darlington Town- ship, and would require a stone filled coffer dam some Council May A Dangerou A charge came from' Doug- las Kerr, president of the Oshawa and District Con- struction Exchange, which states the Newcastle Finance committee has set a danger- ous precedent in awarding tenders for the new Hampton arena. The tender was award- ed to Elrose Construction. DELOUTTE, HASKINS & SEL.LS Chartered Accountants OFFICES IN MAJOR CANADIAN CITIES BELL CANADA BUILDING OSIIAWA CENTRE - OSHAWA PARTNERS: GORDON F.

Giving some indication of the magnitude of the scheme, Mr. Layng said the proposed generating station would act- ually be "about six times bigger than any other in the world." Have Set s Precedent When opening tenders on February 7, the committee found the Elrose tender was some 20 per cent below all the other tenders, but it was later discovered that the bid itself was lower because a legiti- mate error had been made by the contractor who misplaced a decimal point in computing the mechanical part of his subtrade estimates. The tender made in error was for $648,000. but when council learned of the miscal- culation adjustments were allowed to be made' to the tender bringing it to $733,500. still leaving it as the low tender. Mr. Kerr, whose organiza- tion represents some 60 con- struction subtrades and con- tractors involved in building commercial developments, said he was sure the Elrose mistake was a legitimate one, but was concerned with the precedent council had set by allowing any company to change its tender after all the others had been disclosed, possibly giving it the unfair advantage to adjust the bid to a realisitic, but lower amount than the others, simply by declaring the original tender was submitted in error. The finance committee will consider this charge, and the contract award is still before the Ontario Municipal Board awaiting final approval. C.SS. "Mame" (From Page One) by Bill Arnott situation from an old musical of the lonely songster late at night on a New York street. Then with head tilted and peering out through her spec- tacles, Agnes breaks into song to give them comfort from their fearful situation. She sings of putting her faith in Saint Bernard, which pro- duces roars of laughter from the audience. Tina again brings the audi- ence to its knees with laughter in portrayal, when she arrives on stage in the third scene, second act, six months preg- nant. In one of the previous scenes Mame and her best friend Vera Charles (portray- ed by Susan Vice) transform the plain Agnes into a beautiful woman, She then leaves to arrive back six months later in a very awkward position. The part of Agnes, a totally plain backwoods governess was played extremely well, the blaring untrained tones in the voice, the lack of anypoise in the movements, and the complete innocence to every situation. Linda Eyman is made up to suit the part of Mame, and is convincing in the role, of a middle aged aunt who isn't qualified at anything, other MOTHER MOD wishes to Announce -the Oenn oTwo New Departments EXCLUSIVE AGENTS FOR...

The size of the auditorium and the acoustics from the rear of the stage, took away from the strength of her voice in her opening number, however the enunciation was clear, and her constant action throughout the play produced a great per- formance. Susan Vice has what it takes to play the role of Vera Charles, a successful actress and Mame's best friend. She has the good looks and singing ability, which is shown in the scene where she sings "The Man in the Moon is a Lady". The play is a two act musical with 16 scenes. Uti- lization of the facilities at the auditorium was well done. A number of scenes that occur- red in a hallway outside Mame's, a stage production and the opening scene on a New York Street are staged in front of the closed curtain. Other set designs of note were Mame's apartment where a large picture of a distorted human figure was put in an obvious place, colorful antique furniture was arranged and a number of various types of entrances and exits was arranged. The scene was the southern estate of Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside (played by Walter Taylor) where a large peak shaped frame was hung in the centre of the stage. Special mention should be given to the lighting crew, Pete'r Sobil, Neil Taylor, Roy Dimbleby, Karen Mayne and Karen Thompson for effective lighting, especially during the dance numbers with the entire cast. The rear wall which is white was illuminated in shades of greens and pinks. The music made the show, as it should be with a musical and Doug Dewell who arrang- ed and played during the performance did a superb job. Mame is the story of a middle aged aunt who has a small boy placed in her care. She decides to teach the boy in an unconventional method, enroling him in an artistic school in the village. The administrator of his estate takes the boy and sends him to a conventional private school. The boy, Patrick, meets a girl. Mame foresees a poor choice and breaks up the engage- ment. He then married a girl chosen by Mame, bas a son, and the cycle begins again as Mame takes the new son under her wing. Other members of the cast are Bill Jewell as Ralph Devine, Terry Molloy as Bishop, Guy Johnson as M. Lindsay Woolsey, Dave Brown as Ito, Dan Hanewich as Dwight Babcock, Cameron Grant as the stage manager, Susan Bennett as the art model, Barb Borek as Madame Branislowski, Jim Campbell as Gregor, Will Taylor as Uncle Jeff, Sue Bennett as Cousin Fan, Janna Bray as Sally Cato, Ron Knox as the old Patrick, Kevin MeKeen as Junior Babcock, Kathleen Eyman as Mrs. Upson, Pam Tuerk as Gloria Upson, and Barbara McGuirk as Pegeen Ryan. Some of the players played two roles in the production, plus a large num-. ber of students who were involved in the ensemble or technical end. The production was produc- ed by Jill Campbell, Dave Stainton and Adria Liscum. Directed bv Kathv Coverly and Jill Campbell, it was ar excellent production in every respect.

Mr. Mere- dith went on to say that this plant is best known by its line of products which are sold under the Whiz name. In giving a total picture of the corporation, he recounted how the founder began with a capital investment of 50 cents to buy some chemicals. The corporation today bas 28 companies witb the largest variety of automotive pro- ducts, produced by any cor- poration. Mr. Meredith emphasized the number of products made, the size of the corporation's custom canning and labeling operations and made special mention of the autonomy and quality control within the corporation. To the members of the club involved with trucking, he stated that the only thoughts he bad had on the subject were to comnplain about the rates, lost shipments, and late sbip- ments. However, he went on to say any industry that can bring a nation to its knees and bring goods to people when they are needed, deserves a great deal of respect. Bob Howden introduced the speaker and Bill Marsh thank- cd bim. The transportation club meets so that manufac- turers and people involved in transportation can get to- gether to attain a greater understanding of one anoth- er's business. The club fell the victig1 of foul play when the minufts of the last meeting were' either lost or stolen, and reams of laughter arose when a motion came from the floor to adopt the minutes as lest. CARE IN THE HOME Receives Ovation in Mame Tina Vooys (left) and Linda Eyman received a standing ovation for their roles in the Courtice Sec- ondary School production of "Mame". Tina as Agnes Gooch, arrives back at Mame's apartment an unwed mother, the result of Mame's influence in making a homely girl beautiful for a moment. MAPLE GROVE Mrs. E.

Mr. Lyall said that the 1974 problems emerged in Febru- ary during the thaw when it was discovered that most of the culverts on Beaver Street, draining surface water, had been smashed when the con- tractor put in the lateral service pipes and failed to replace them when the work was completed. At the same time, breaks in the sidewalk where the lateral service pipes entered the bouse lots became a sea of mud and a trap for unwary pedestrians because the side- walks were not repaired either. The project engineers of the Government's Ministry of the Environment in Toronto were contacted. John Thiel of Kilborn Engineering was con- tacted and the result of these calls the contractors, D'Amore Construction Limit- ed, repaired two culverts on Edward Street and did some work on Sunset Boulevard. When the cold weather return- ed, the weather ended the problems temporarily. "With the April springlike weather", Mr. Lyall contin- ued, "the problems returned and this time no action could be obtained from the govern- ment or its contractors." "The result was that last week the New Town of Newcastle sent in its men with the necessary truck and gravel and cleaned up the sidewalk mud holes and dan- gerous sidewalk breaks at the post office, opposite the Unit- ed Church on Mill Street and the worst situation of all, a sidewalk break opposite the Wood's residence on Mill Street North." "In retrospect", Mr. Lyall said, "it is a ridiculous situation when a local gov- ernment has to give first aid to a project wholly under the direction of the Ontario Gov- ernment's Department of En- vironment. If Alex Carruth- ers, MPP, would tour the village and view the mess that certain areas are in, maybe he could persuade the govern- ment brass from the Depart- ment of Environment to get on the hall --something that the local municipal representativ- es have been unable to persuade them to do." In conclusion, Mr. Lyall reiterated "It would be just if the Village of Newcastle residents affected by muddy sidewalks and sunken roads would realize that though it is not a local problem the local municipal representatives Kirk Entwisle, Mayor Garnet Rickard and myself have worked hard to alleviate the situation". Friday Service at 10:30 a.m. The Sacred Pageant "The Challenge of the Cross" will be presented in word and music. Mrs. J.

On Palm Sunday the Rev. David Harris B. Th., was joined by Mrs. Harris at the pulpit and she gave a most inspiring sermon on "Share, To Help a Broken World.' "It is hard to be a Christian in a rich land in a hungry world. Our society doesn't make it easy for a person to choose God's priorities. We are the first generation to see the world in a mirror. The photograph taken from the moon-bound spaceship shows us the earth as a whole a small fragile, blue home hurtling on througe empty space. The home, however, is broken and breaking, Ten thousand of its children die of malnutrition and starvation every day.e God loves the world," we believe. If we know God's presence we will show our concern for the broken world for which he gave himself in Christ.
