TOWN OF NEWCASTLE NOTICE 0F M EETI1N G There will be a public meeting of the Council of the Town of Newcastle with representatives of St. Marys Cement Company to discuss the Company's Blasting Operations West and South of Bowmanville. Interested members of the Public are invited to attend the meeting which will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 27th,1975, in the Council Chambers, 132 Church Street, Bowmanville (Police and Fire Building)., J. M. Mcllroy, A.M.C.T. Town Clerk e minister to comment on the t- leaks at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station last sum- mer. Mr. Timbrell explained is that leaks in the third reactor 0 at Pickering were discovered s in August. After giving an g account of what happened, he .e continued by stating the o, oerformance record of the o Çandu Nuclear Power Sys- . tem over other types. He al stated that the Candu System s is horizontal in design as e opposed to the vertical design g of other systems. He comn- n- mented that success of the it system was shown in the - selling of it to Argentina, India e and the interest shown by d Britain in it. On the sale to s India, Mr. Timbrell remarked - it was a problem. A final question from Coun- cillor Hobbs was in a lighter n fashion. He asked the minister n if he could account for the e number of UFO's seen around s Nuclear Plants, and explained e that he really didn't expect an - answer. Mr. Timbrell replied t that he believed they are> n attracted to energy sources, t according to reports of sight- il ings. t 74 Per Cent Proficiency i Councillor Don Allin asked n the Minister of Energy if the y plant at Pickering had lived - up to expectations. Mr. Tim- d brell replied that the plant o produces more electricity e than any plant in the world and that it was working at a proficiency of 74 per cent. A question from Mandy Martin as to why electrical power could not be obtained from Northern Quebec as it is now, and the possibility of establishing a generating plant on Hudson Bay, was asked. Mr. Timbrell replied that the immediate need they were looking at was 1982 and the establishing of a genera- ting plant on Hudson Bay as opposed to the shore of Lake Ontario was not an either or situation. - Councillor Kirk Entwisle stated that he had read that nuclear generating stations emit nuclear radiation in the atmosphere and that the effect of this radiation on humans' had flot yet been determined. Hedcontinued thatdthere were the prevailing winds in this area and that "I don't know how Premier Davis intends to change the direction of the prevailing winds so that the radiation will blow towards Oshawa instead of Bowman- ville." Minimal Emission Mr. Timbrell replied that the emission was the equiv- alent of the radiation exper- ienced by a person flying from New Brunswick to Vancouver over a period of one-year. He also stated that the probability of an accident at a Nuclear Generating Plant were one in 300 to 400 milllion. A civil servant travelling with the ministers added that radiation was the single most considered contaminent and that compared with mercury pollution the problems would not be thrust upon them without people being aware, as was the recent case with mercury. Why Not Hudson Bay? Councillor Ken Lyall after expressing the view that, everyone knows electricity is necessary, reiterated Mandy Martin's question about what studies were being done on James Bay and Hudson Bay in relation to establishing gener- ating stations there. Mr. Timbrell stated that the plants at Wesleyville and Pickering and the proposed plant at Darlington are lo- cated in these areas because they serve these areas and Toronto. He explained that the cost of transmission and the effect on the environment caused by transmission corri- dors were deterents for plac- ing the stations far away from the areas they serve. Lake Won't Suffer Councillor Lyall asked the minister if the four generating 4 4 4 I I P >1, 1) o --------------M stations on Lake Ontario would cause the lake to suffer, Mr. Timbrell explained that the temperature change in the lake would be minimal. The civil servant accompanying the minister at the dinner clarified the answer, stating that the water running around the reactors to cool them would be heated 20 degrees. This would be the temperature increase of the water at the discharge point. Solar Power Study Alex Carruthers asked the minister to explain what research had been done in the area of solar power. The minister of energy told the meeting about a solar energy project going on under t he name of Providence House. He also added that studies were being conducted on wind power. Mr. Timbrell had earlier related that he had known Ken Lyall for 15 years, and now related hn jest that the information on wind power studies was directed toward the councillor. Mayor Garnet Rickard interrupted "if you learn how to harness it, let me know. " Explore Manure Use The minister also reported that methane geierating was being explored, this referring to the use of manure as a fuel source. At this point, questions were directed to other areas of concern besides the proposed Darlington Generatng Sta- tion. Peter Newell of Newcas- tle asked Jim Snow to explain what had happened to a report that had been done in June for the Ontario Cabinet in regard to establishing an export development corporation for agriculture. Mr. Snow replied ththe didn't know of such a report, but that didn't mean there wasn't one. He contin- ued by stating how the government had been involv- ed in a project to establish industrial export Markets. On the study of agricultural markets outside the country, Mr. Snow stated he thought there should be a study; there being a food shortage and a need for agricultural land. Coming back to hydro, Mr. Snow added that a lot had been heard about transmission lines, but that it was his opinion that a hydro transmis- sion line across a farmers field was one tenth of one per cent as damaging to the farmers production as putting a highway through. He added that very few farms in Ontario are producing to their cap- acity and this was the result of not enough technology or effort on the part of the farmer. Pormer Secretary of the Durham Federation of Agri- culture (now disbanded) Don Welsh replied to the minister that farmers are not going to over produce if this forces prices to go down. H1e then asked the Minister of Energy to explain compensation given to farmers and residents when pipelines and hydro lines cross their property. Mr. Timbrell stated that any government body has the right to expropriate and that when dealing with a large company such as Ontario Hydro, pro- perty owners were naturally suspicious. Tbe minister continued by saying that any time there was an expropriation it went to the Conmipensation board, but what he would like to see, is that the matter should also go to an Arbitration board of government. The minister of government services added that his riding (Halton) was two or three years ahead of this area, in that public meetings had been held as to establishing hydro corridors and lines had been established. He added that his department was now in the. process of acquiring land. Teachers Rights Another issùe was brought to the ministers by Harvey Webster a teacher at M.J. Hobbs. The question was over the teachers right to strike. He askéd the ministers what rocedure he was to follow if e was dissatisfied. Mr. Tia- brell repliec that under billI 274 the only alternatives they hadlwere to resign or "worse'" walk out. H1e continuedc that he was fed up with the ritual proceclure that when there was credit to be taken the boarcl members all lined up, but when there was flack, it was*Queen's Park's fault. H1e said that teachers would have to find a better way than striking. H1e gave the example of stuclents in Windsor who lost a year of achool. Mr. Timbrell stated that what we need is a Public Interest Disputes Commission, which is an impartial board who in the event of a dispute would go in andl see the books. The final question of the evening was asked by Council- lor Don Wearn who stated that the municipalities clon't get enough assistance from the provincial government in say- mng ~'no" to developers who are buying farm lands. H1e added that there are lands good for development and what could the government do in assis ting so that industry would establish there. Mr. Snow replied that they couldn't freeze the sale of farm land, because the farm- ers were in two groups. One Sroup was strongly opposed to aving their land frozea into a2riculture. On His Way to Hawaii Philip Jones of R,R.2, Newcastle (Brownsdale), last Sunday won a trip to Hawaii for two. However, being a bachelor, he has not decided on whom to ask to accompany him on this two-week holiday, and the plane leaves Monday. The trip was the grand prize in the Brownsdale lottery. The lottery is held by the Brownsdale Community Centre to raise money for activities at the centre, and renovations. The winning ticket number 229 was sold to Mr. Jones by Bill Johnston of Newcastle. The Bowmanville Travel Centre who arranged the trip donated the second prize of a set of travel bags. The winner was Jane Pitt of Brownsdale. Eight consolation winners who received flight bags are Alex MacDonald, Oshawa; Frank Britton of Bowmanville: R. J. Niddery of Bowmanville; Jean Danieko of Newcastle; Murray O'Brien of Bowmanville; Dorothy Code of Oshawa; Ede McFayden of Whitby and Doreen Hickey of Ajax. Another draw will be held in the spring but the prize is not yet established. Durham (From Page One) that this section of the act does not apply to municipal corpor- ations. Counsel for the Town, Mich- ael Temple, also argued that there was a conflict between the statutes creating the town and the regional municipality because the same name was used. Mr. Justice B.J. Mac- Kinnon pointed out that in cases of conflict the new act always prevails. The Town of Newcastle mayor, Garnet Rickard, finds the whole dispute rather mystifying. 'I don't see any reason for the dispute; this has been accepted practice for years. There are many other examples around the province like Hastings and Simcoe. Durham Region is simply replacing the old Durham County." Colorful regional councillor Ken Lyall is convinced that "the cold weather has their brains. How about Durham town or county in England?, Haven't they got anything better to do with their time?" Coun. Lyall enjoys asking questions.
