2 The Canadian Statesman. hýowmauville, Marcb 14, 1979 Re%-Sidents Oppose From Page One Cplaining about inadequate parking aciities at the park. Mr. Tomkins said parked cars usually overflow onto Simpson Avenue during this week and if tbere ever was a fire it would be difficuit for the trucks and other emergency vebicles to get down the street. Due to inadequate wasbroom faciities there is indecent exposure, said Tomkins and there bas been some tbeft and property damage to surrounding bouses during the week's celebrations. Residents- are St. Marys Cernent Employees Escape Eye Injuries concerned about property devaluation and feel that the gar- bage in the park might attract rats, he added. Councillor Bill Clarke said he was concerned there bas been. no dialogue between the residents and tbe Jaycees on the matter. Coundil referred the issue to its community services committee. Chairman of the committee, Maurice Prout, said a meeting between the committee, residents and Jaycees will be held next Thursday (Marcb 22). Public Utilities Study The first alternative in the report would entail combluing the three existing Utilities of Orono, Newcastle -Village and Bowmanville and that part of the Bowmanville rural area wbich includes St. Marys Cern ent. The purchase of that part of the rural district from Ontario Hydro would cost in ber ueighbourhood of $6.6 million. Ail rural assets within tbe boundaries of the towu such as sub-trausmission lies, al rural limes, transformers, sub- stations, preseut rural office with ail furnishings, some equiment and a portion of the -stoc and ail vehicles would bave to be purchased as well. If this alternative is chosen, the preseut rate structure now lu effect would have to increase, the report states. Rates lu Bowmanviliewould increase by approximately 20 per cent. Iu Newcastle Village the rates would ise by 14 per cent and lu Orono by four per cent. The rural district of 5,100 customers would, on the other baud, face a nine per cent decrease lu rates. The main advantages to alternative ofié, the report says, is that ail customers within the municipality would be operating ou one standard set of rates and only one com- mission and one management would be needed for the entire area. Disadvantages would be a loss of identity lu the present municipalities, a substautial rate increase to the existing municipal customer, aud a substautial addition of staff. Alternative two would combine tbe existiug Utilities less the rural area luto one Utility under one commigsion and one management. Under alternative tbree, the present operation of three Utilities would remain the status quo under onie commis- sion with a representative from each Utiity serving ou the Board. The rates lu each Utiity would be established accordiugly. Local autouomy would be retalued if this alternative is cboseu, says the report but ou the other baud, three indivi- dual centres of operation would have to be retaiued witb individual management for each and rate variation lu each. BowManville and Orono Public Utiities Commissions favor alternative one but Newcastle village PUC is arguîng for alternative three. Ev Jenkins of the Newcastle Village PUC said one of the reasons be opposes- alterna- tive one is because of the substantial rate increase it would mean for customers lu the village witbout necessarily an improvement in service. Bill Morrison of the Bow- manville PUC urged council to make a decision on the wbole matter of- restructurnug. "Either you move on tis or the Minister of Energy will tell you to move," be cautioued. Harvey 'Partuer of Orono PUC said the rate increases connected witb alternative From Page One one could be pbased lu over a five year peid. Sooner or later, he saithe province will force the three utiities to amalgamate. III don't see why a customer In Courtice should pay more for utiities than one in our area," he said. Mayor Garnet Rickard recalled bow bard be fougbt, for uniform water and sewer rates at the Region and argued such equality would exist for' utilities as well. Everyone in the municipality wbo uses Hydro sbould pay on the same rate scale according to usage, he said. Morley Watson, manager of Bowmanviile PUC, told coundil that Whitby, Oshawa, Pickering and, Ajax are al goig fr ne utility. The Reginalrcoorrelation team is now waiting for Newcastle's decision. Counillor Ann Cowman, pointed out that in these municipalities it is just a case of large urban areas taking over smail rural areas wbere- as lu Newcastle 5,500 urban customers would be taking over 5,000 rural customers spread over a large area. "This is the problem no one west of us is williug to acknowledge." The restructuring report under discussion this week was deemed "'extremely. prelimiuary" by consultiug engineers Leighton and Kidd, of Toronto. "It does not sufficieutly descnibe the various alternative arrange- ments and- their ecouomic impact non does it define those issues wbicb must be considered before a decision is made lu this matter," the engineers said. Tbey suggest- ed a "more comprebensive report" be produced by the committee before furtber cousideration is given. ELIZABETH VILLE Churcb services were held as usual. Rev. W.

Two employees from St. Marys Cernent Company in Bowmanville recently learned the importance of Wearing safety glasses from first-band experiènice. Jim Ryborcbuk (left) and Ken DiBartolomeo (rigbt) received Wise Owl aWards after experiencing misbaps on tbe job wbicb could bave cost tbem their eyesigbt. Wise Owl awards are presented by tbe Industrial Accident Prevention Association and tbe Canadian National Institute for tbe Blind to persons Wbose sigbt was protected tbrougb tbe Wearing of proper safety equipment while on the job. Presenting tbe awards at tbe St. Marys plant in Bowmanville Monday morning was Gene Wrinkle, (centre),, vice president of operations at St. Marys. Two employees of the St. Marys Cement Company in Bowmanville owe their eye- sîght to safety glasses. The employees were recent recipients of Wise Owl Awards wbicb are issued tÔ workers wbose sigbt bas been protect- ed due to the wearng of safety equipment. Ken DiBartolomeo, a maintenance worker at St. Marys, and Jim Ryborcbuk, a laborer, both expenienced near misses in wbich their protective glasses were sbattered iu accidents on tbe job. Their eyes were uot damaged. Mn. Ryhorchuk, 28, recails that bis accident occurred on December 22 wben be was chipping pieces of steel out of a grate witb a sledge bammer. "I tbougbt it was going to be a pretty good day because it was the last workiug day before Christmas," be recalîs. But wbile operating the sledge bammen, a piece of steel flew up and struck bis glasses, leaving a crack dowu tbe centre of one lens. "I was lucky I bad the glasses on," said Mn. Ryborcbuk, a Bow- mauville resident and a 21/ year veteran at St. Marys. Coincidentally, Ken DiBartolomeo was working on January 22,' one montb later wben bis accident occurred.. He explained that he was operating a drill wbeu it snapped in haîf and flew upwards, shattering one lens lu bis giasses. "I'm glad I bad the safety glasses ou, I'll tell you that," he said. "Safety equipment is very important." Mr. DiBartolomeo, a 30-year.old Oshawa resident who bas been employed at St. Marys for nine years, explained that tbauks to bis safety glasses, be still bas 20-20 vision. And that's a happy ending to wbat could bave been a tragic story. Gene Wrinkle, vice presi. dent of operations at St. Marys said last week that mishaps such as the ones whicb Ken DiBartolomeo and Jim Ryhor- cbuk experienced bring home the safety message for every- one but be added "We don't really want to bave any near misses ever." And St. Marys estimates that it bas been about two years since the last Wise Owl awards were given out. It is unusual to have two sucb awards presented at once. To help prevent accidents at the plant, the 135 St. Marys employees are represeuted on au occupational safety and healtb committee composed of hourly and salaried personnel.
