These are two of the findings from the Select Committee on Energy which handed down its report last week. The 11 member committee composed composed of MPPs from all parties concluded concluded that, "Because of Darlington's low incremental cost and the uncertainties uncertainties associated with other shortterm shortterm options, all units of Darlington should proceed on schedule." It added that "no further commitment commitment should be made for additional nuclear power stations at this time." Two New' Democrat MPPs on the committee recommended against completion of Darlington in a dissenting dissenting report. Durham East MPP Sam Cureatz indicated indicated Monday that he is generally happy with the 26 recommendations contained in the document. "I'm just so pleased that even the Liberal administration has seen the light in terms of completion of the generating station," Mr. Cureatz observed. observed. He also indicated that the findings of the Select Committee may represent represent the end to much of the debate over whether Darlington should go ahead. "The big debate about Darlington, Darlington, I think, is behind us." Although the select committee's findings have yet to be accepted by the government, the MPP expects the Liberal administration to accept the findings of the report because it is supported by not only the Conservative Conservative committee members but also the Liberals. "Politically, it's virtually impossible impossible for the government to say it's not going to support the findings," said Mr. Cureatz. The Select Committee report does, however, lean towards other methods of energy production in the future. One of the recommendations in the report is that Ontario Hydro "develop a conservation strategy employing a wide range of programs to ensure that J- the benefits of conservation resources resources are distributed widely throughout the province." And, in general, the report speaks to the need for diversifying electrical power sources. "Diversity is critical to answer the flexibility and reliability of our system. system. By pursuing a variety of demand and supply options...we can increase our system's flexibility and manage risk." Other options include conservation, conservation, hydraulic power, co-generation, municipal solid waste, and other alternative alternative technologies. The report of the select committee advocates a "change in the decisionmaking decisionmaking policy to allow for meaning ful public input and to ensure political political control over the determination of our electricity future is more effective." effective." In its review of Darlington, the Select Committee on Energy noted that the project is already two-thirds complete and has cost over $7 billion. It concluded that Darlington is the "lowest risk option for Ontario" and cited the following reasons: -- There are no comparably-priced resources which can be acquired with any degree of certainty. -- It provides security for meeting the high low growth scenario through the mid 1990s. -- If it is not needed immediately, it can be used to retire older, more ex- ' ils ÿ 4/i «T-, .J--* Jft "W* 1 tf (> j! : /s §/ C7 F? 8 8/ pensive plants, earlier than planned. -- It is the cheapest alternative to fight acid gas emissions. -- Cancellation of the units would result result in an unnecessary rate shofck. -- Cancellation would result in the immediate displacement of several thousand jobs. In a dissenting opinion, the NDP members of the committee stated that Darlington cannot be supported on the grounds that it is the most reliable reliable short-term option. "The first report report (of the select committee) established established the fact that Darlington's power is not even needed until the year 2000 -- eight years after it is scheduled to come onto the grid," the Turn to Page 2 Tractor Pullers Converge on Blackstock Modified tractors are the customary crowd pleasers at the Blackstock Tractor Pull.

The move is the result of a plan to renovate and expand the existing Bowmanville Town Hall later this year. At a special meeting last Friday, Newcastle council agreed to acquire temporary accommodation at the Veltri Building where 3,200 square feet of space will be rented on the first floor at a cost of $7 per square foot. Other members of the administration administration will be moving into the Bell Building and the former Durham Re gional Police offices in the Police and Fire Building. The suggested date for the move is September 1. "We're still working on the time," said Clerk and Acting Administrator Administrator David Oakes. And Mayor John Winters said he thinks the administration is ready for the move. "We'll do the best we can," he said. The present situation is already bad, the mayor said. "We've got four different departments all over the countryside." While the move would create a new inconvenience, Mayor Winters said it wouldn't make things worse. He said he would be happy when everyone was under one roof in the new building. building. May Change Borders for Riding of Durham East Tf ryn\XT hoc 100 000 TP C1 H PM t.Ç hill Hospital Fund Raiser Dies The head of the committee which successfully raised $2.8 million for Memorial Hospital's renovation and construction program died last week at his home near Orono. Joseph Kraemer, a former Royal Air Force officer and the retired president of a Montreal pulp and paper company, had been battling cancer for the past five years. He died Friday, July 4. Mr. Kraemer, who chaired the hospital hospital fund-raising program which began in 1984, had been a career officer officer in the Royal Air Force. He joined the RAF in 1941 and retired in 1985 with the rank of squadron leader. During World War Two, he served in the 83rd Pathfinder Squad ron as a bomber commander. Upon emigrating to Canada, Mr. Kraemer began a successful business career, serving as president of Kruger Pulp and Paper Limited in Montreal and as chairman of Three Rivers Pulp and Paper. He was also president of Kruger Pulp and Paper Sales Inc., in New York. He was also a member of the executive executive committee of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association. The Kraemers lived at their Orono home since Joseph Kraemer's retirement retirement from Kruger Inc., nine years ago. . . He is survived by his wife, Patricia, and son, Robin. The riding of Durham East may soon take on a whole new appearance as the result of an alteration to its boundaries. I The Ontario Legislation .is; expected expected to give final reading,' this month to a Mil which creates a Votai of five new ridings in Ontario and re-' arranges the boundaries of many others. Durham East will no longer include the eastern portion of Oshawa under the new legislation. But it will include include a large amount of new territory in the north, including parts of Scugog and Manvers Townships. Durham East MPP Sam Cureatz said the new boundaries will make the riding more consistent in its character. It will be composed of rural areas and towns and villages once the new borders are drawn. In the past, it has included both city residents residents and rural constituents. "It has been a difficult riding. It's like serving two ridings, a large rural riding and a large urban riding," Mr. Cureatz explained. He noted, however, that Oshawa has supported him in the past. "I've always won in Oshawa," he recalled. The MPP adds that the population of the riding will decline somewhat. GLORIOUS 12th -- We had to check with Gary Cole to find out where and when the area's Orange parade was being held this Saturday, July 12th. He and his Pride of Erin Purple Hill Lodge Fife & Drum band will be parading in Toronto because the local parade is being held in Whitby, with it starting at 7 p.m. That's no fun, they always make a day of it. Next year it should be better at Campbellford. In 1990 there probably will be a real wing-ding because it will be the 300th anniversary anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne. Incidentally, don't plan on getting your hair cut at Gary's place this Saturday. He'll be leading the band he's been training. WALKING WOUNDED -- We haven't heard exactly what happened to His Worship Mayor John Winters' foot, but he is hobbling around, wearing a sock instead of a shoe and carrying a helper of some kind that resembles resembles a cane. Originally, we heard he had dropped a motor on his toe. That was followed by a rumor that he had deliberately shot himself in the foot so he wouldn't have to play ball against Newcastle Chamber of Commerce where his ex-political opponent Garnet Rickard was in his element on first base. Probably these reports are erroneous, and in a couple of weeks we shall hear some other weird version in a letter from Ken Hooper. All kidding aside, we wish him well, it must be a painful nuisance. It now has 100,000 residents but will be reduced to 70,000 once the new boundaries are established. The changes will create a fourth riding for the Durham Region. This new riding will be called Durham ' ipentxfc: ■ Town Faced With Insurance Hikes The Town of Newcastle is facing a 40 per cent increase in its 1986/87 insurance insurance premiums. The new rate presented to the General General Purpose Committee last Monday totals $199,937 and compares to premiums premiums of $139,984 in the previous year. It was also learned that council could save money by accepting the maximum deductible limit of $5,000. This limit would give council a premium premium savings of $17,799, which would be added to the Self Insured Losses Reserve. Council was advised by Dave Reid, of the Frank Cowan Company Ltd., to start a Risk Management Program. The program would include a committee committee of senior staff members who would look at how some buildings and other areas could be improved to be less of a risk. The committee would not begin work until some time in the fall. M •til! i 0 TT1 Pt: fers Play 1 lr Ml il I i F I I « iwM* 1 s t I'W f ®- 35* per copy 26 Pages Well Despite Weather m f-i ;.t, :5' ; . Eighteen four man teams competed in the wildest conditions on Saturday during the Bowmanville Country Club's annual Colonial Golf Tournament. During the morning, golfers were soaked following a flash thunderstorm. Later in the day, scores followed the temperature higher as golfers felt the extreme heat and humidity. The team of Bill Cook, Ron Rushak, Pete Reynolds and Chuck Rout managed to stay ahead of everyone else, winning the team event easily. In the individual categories, Joe Neubauer played the best game of his life to win the net title, while Chris Lee shot 74 to win the low gross prize.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY -- You would be well advised to put aside some shekels for the weekend of July 17, 18 and 19 when this summer's Sidewalk Sale will be held. The theme is "Christmas in July" which is a bit different. There's an advertisement in this edition outlining outlining some of the special events taking place at the sale and probably more will be dreamed up before it actually takes place.

This program is free, and open to all. So, put on your deerstalker's cap, cape or cloak, grab a magnifying glass and join them this Saturday won't you? After all, there's a little Sherlock Holmes in everyone. FLAG STOLEN--Some nitwit went about celebrating Canada's 119th birthday on the July 1st weekend with a nasty twist. He, she or it stole the flag that was flying over Newcastle Village's Cenotaph. Such patriotism should be rewarded with a swift boot to the posterior. The police are investigating this incident. BAKE SALE)-- Newcastle Community Care at 80 King St. West, Bowmanville, is having a Bake Sale on Thursday, Thursday, July 17th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donations of baking will be gratefully received and acknowledged.
