2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 14, 1979 Creek Has Wrong Name Bowmanville Creek is a misnomer and the local heritage committee wants to see the name changed back to the original Barber's Creek on maps and signs. The town'snplanning and develop- ment committee, acting on a request from the heritage group, will recommend to council that staff look into the matter of changing the name and advise it on the best procedure of doing so. Marie Hubbard, a member of the heritage committee, said that the creek's name has always been Bar- ber's Creek and has never officially been changed. In the early 1800s people started calling it Bowman- Wesl From Page One final decision on their futures is reached. The decision to take these steps reflects the latest electrical load forecast which was accepted by Hydro's directors at their meeting this month. The forecast predicts an average growth of 4.7 per cent annually to 1990 and 4.2 per cent from 1990 to the turn of the century. Last year the forecast growth rate, was 5.5 per cent to 1987, gradually reducing to 4.5 per cent by the year 2000. The forecast projects annual growth ranging from a low of 3.2 per cent in 1980 over 1979, to a high of 5.2 per cent in 1983, and dropping to 4.9 per cent in the late 1980s. "When the basic shape of the ex- pansion program was determined in the late 1960s for the period up to the mid-1980s, the economy was in good shape and there were few signs of the economic problems which this country has had to face in recent years," Mr. Taylor said. At that time, Mr. Taylor said, Hydro was in serious difficulty with thin reserve margins and was looking for ways to diversify sources of fuel to generate electricity because of uncertainties about future supplies.. The new forecast suggests that 1987 December peak demand, for example, may be 23.9 million kilowatts. The last estimate, made in February 1978, was 26.5 million -- a difference of 2.6 million kilowatts. Surplus capacity will be reduced by more than one million kilowatts as a result of the decision to stop and store Wesleyville until the, early 1990s. Because oil-fired stations are the most expensive in the Hydro, system, it was decided that to stop and store Wesleyville would be the most economic way to reduce excess capacity at this time. "This follows a decision made last April, after consultation with the ville Creek and the name began to creep onto maps of the town, of the Chamber of Commerce etc. With the formation of the Region, even more people fell into the habit of calling it Bowmanville Creek.. The creek was originally named after Augustus Barber and the records show that in 1905 a sawmill was built on Barber's Creek at a place later known as Darlington Milis and renamed Bowmanville. To achieve the change, the name Barber's Creek must be submitted to a provincial body known as the Historical Names Board. It holds a hearing to rule on the name change. Syville provincial government, when only two of the plant's four units were cancelled. The hope then was that we would see a little more light at the end of the economic tunnel and the two extra units would be needed to play their part in the economic upswing. Needless to say, that has not occurred and storing the remaining two units is a logical decision," Mr. Taylor said. The effect on the 580-man work- force on site at Wesleyville will be gradual over the next 10 months as a considerable amount of preparation is needed before the station is moth- balled. About $300 million dollars has been committed to the station and about $80 million will be spent over the next 12 months. Structural steelwork at the site will be com- pleted, the powerhouse enclosed and a heating system installed. All station components will be delivered and stored on site which will have the benefit of fast in-service if the demand situation changes rapidly. A study is planned on the advantages of converting the two Wesleyville units to coal, or a combination of coal and oil, and this will be con- sidered before the station is even- tually completed. If completed on schedule the station would have cost $660 million. Mr. Taylor said the Ministry of Energy has been advised of the Board's action and he expected the government would make some response before the Board reviews the alternatives on further slow downs in construction at its meeting- next month. "We expect the Government will have some views on the effect of any Hydro decision as it relates to em- ployment generally and the economy as a whole. We are also due to appear before the Legislature's Select Committee on Hydro Affairs before the next Hydro Board meeting," Mr. Taylor said. Local Groups Co-operate for As you are no doubt already aware, your local Social Planning Council has been hard at work planning a special Year of the Child program for their February meeting. But they haven't done it all alone. The S.P.C. wanted to hold a really exciting meeting - but to bring in an outstanding speak- er like Barbara Chisholm, to make sure everyone who is interested in children knows of the event, and to provide refreshments for all was obviously going to be an expensive undertaking. So the S.P.C. asked for help. The group was very pleased to receive financial assistance from the Newcastle Block Parents and the Bowmanville Jaycettes. Schools, churches, many community groups and the local newspapers have been extremely helpful in publicizing this important event. The Association for Early Childhood Education even changed their meeting night so that their members could attend. In addition, several merchants have made donations toward the refresh- ments. This spirit of co-operation is at the heart of the philosophy behind a citizens' social planning group. The purpose of the Social Planning Council is to look for needs in the community in the areas of health, recreation and social service and to provide a liaison between existing groups and agencies. It is honed that the outcome of the Program special Year of the Child meeting on February 20th will be to establish a Children's Committee. The mandate of this committee will be to examine the needs of children and to co-ordinate the efforts of those working toward making sure that every child in our community has the opportunity to - become the best person he or she can be. All persons interested in the rights of children are invited to come and enjoy a dynamic speaker, and those who wish may become a part of the new' Children's Committee.

U -z A From Page One The Veterinary Services Branch of the Ontario government dictates rules and regulations governing the care and confinement of animals which must be strictly adhered to. Although they respond to calls regarding any animal, the bulk of their work centres around dogs. Periodically, they receive calls in- volving raccoons, foxes, cats and skunks. Asked just how she and co-worker Steve Soules manage to catch one of the four legged critters when they resist apprehension, Bromley said, "A lot of it is good luck but we do have a 'catch-pole' which we use sometimes." The catch-pole is a long rod with a noose type attachment on the end which can be slipped around the animal's neck when within range. Bromley advises anyone bitten by an animal, however minor, should go to the hospital for a tetanus shot and have the wound cleaned. As the result of a biting, a dog may be or- dered into quarantine by the Health Department7as a precautionary check for rabies. The fee in the Town of Newcastle after February 1st for licensing a dog is $17. However, if it is spayed or neutered, the fee is $10. If your Fido is picked up running at large by the Animal Control Of- ficer, it will cost you $15 fine and $3 per day for his room and board at the pound. Anyone desiring a pooch may purchase any of the unclaimed dogs after a three-day holding period for the sum of $5. Any dog purchased must, of course, be licen- sed. One rather disconcerting fact is that there is no by-law against cats running at large. Cats are free to roam at will, protected by an On- tario Municipal Act which states they are not required to be licensed. Perhaps the government is not aware that cats are just as adept at rip ing open garbage bags as dogs an can make one heck of a racket in the middle of the night. Even if a kindly soul brings a stray cat to the pound, that good samaritan will have to pay a $2 pound fee to leave the cat in their care. When the officers get a break in complaint calls, they patrol certain sections which have proven to be problem areas. The further away from the town, the more dogs are allowed to run free. However, there are problem areas within the town as well, mainly in subdivisions. "Even though public employees are under a certain amount of stress", said Bromley, "Its a good feeling working for the town and you're really aware of what is going on." Goodyear's Net Income Up 33% Consolidated net sales of Goodyear Canada Inc. for the year ended December 31, 1978 amounted to $406,337,000 up $33,236,000 or 8.9 per cent from $373,101,000 in 1977, it was an- nounced February following a meeting of the board of direc- tors. Consolidated net income of $12,412,000 exceeded the $9,323,000 earned in 1977 by $3,089,OOOor 33.1 per cent. Net earnings for the year were equivalent to $4.78 per outstanding common share, compared with $3.57 in 1977. In the fourth quarter, sales of $125,601,000 represented an increase of $22,723,000 or 22.1 per cent over the $102,878,000 recorded in 1977, and earnings of $6,121,000 compared with $2,832,000 in the corresponding period last year, an increase of $3,289,000 or 116.1 per cent. Fourth quarter sales and profits and annual sales and profits are record highs for the company. Abert W. Dunn, president Semina r and chief executive officer, at- tributed the improved sales and profit performance to many factors, including an ln- crease in exports, greater plant operating efficiency, scheduling of factories at or near capacity in the second half of the year and reduced importation of radial tires as a result of increased Canadian production. Dunn said the company's prospects for the first half of 1979 are good, thanks essen- tially to current substantial demand, both domestic and foreign, for most product lines. "The outlook for the second half is less predie- table," he added . "The general health of the national economies of both Canada and the United States and the ef- fectiveness of the control of in- flation are key to good per- formance for the rubber in- dustry and Goodyear Canada."
