Hie Canadian Statesman. Bowmanvillc. November 11. 1987 C.l.B.C. Donates *1964 to United Way Campaign Darlington's Fuel Winner of Durham Building's Birthday Draw The United Way came $1964.33 closer to its $2.6 million goal as the result of ?. irom ~ he Cana di a n Imperial Bank of Commerce. Jim MacSween (letl), Chairman of the Business and Financial Institutions committee for the United Way in the Town of Newcastle, was presented with a cheque from the bank last week. Making the presentation are Joy Woodcock, CIBC employee and United Way Financial Institution Coordinator, and Ed Williston, Branch Manager, King Street CIBC. The money was raised by Commerce Staff through bake sales, raffles and a bowl-a-thon. From dies in each of480 pressure chambers bringing the total fuel bundles to 6240 per reactor. Many safeguards are being implemented implemented to make sure that nothing is wrong with any of the fuelling units, according to Peter Walmsley, commissioning commissioning supervisor for fuel handling. handling. There will be a test of every 25th bundle before they enter the reactor. That will offer enough statistical evidence evidence to determine whether there is anything amiss with any of the bundles, bundles, according to Mr. Walmsley. Also of importance is the accountability accountability of every fuel bundle. All the bundles are numbered and will be counted before they go into the reactor and the spent bundles will also be counted as they are sent to the water-filled bay for storage after being taken from the reactor. "All nuclear fuel and spent fuel are subject to safeguards," said Mr. Walmsley. While admitting that the bundles are "slightly radioactive", Mr. Walmsley said that they can be handled. handled. by personnel wearing gloves. In fact, the bundles will be loaded into the fuelling machines by hand, but that will be the only time they are handled that way. How often a reactor is refuelled will depend upon how fast the bundles bundles are used up. Because the reactor Page One is in a spherical shape, more activity will take place in the centre, with the bundles on the outside taking longer to "burn up". The refuelling machines will carry 16 fresh bundles and can reload the pressure channels with two, four or eight bundles at a time. The amount of refuelling and the number of fresh bundles to be loaded, will all be determined determined as the reloading process takes place over a length of time, according according to Mr. Walmsley. One cost-saving feature of the first reloading is the recycling of a large number of the fuel bundles. Because the bundles at the end of each pressure pressure channel will not completely ' "burn up" in the first charge of the reactor to produce electricity, they will be reused for the first reloading. That should be a savings of $4 million per reactor. The uranium fuel bundles will be stored on site in a locked area until May 1988, when the first reactor will be loaded. From September 1988 to March 1989 there will be a testing period for the first reactor, according to Miss Prout. If all goes as planned, the first reactor reactor should produce electricity by March 1989. The final three reactors are scheduled to be in service by the fall of 1989, spring 1991 and spring 1992. asœœ „ ; :<\- \tiA r 1 .5kli iff' i fi tnlcfovmm CcMi Water Solution Coming Closer Retirement Dinner for School Co-ordinator to be Held Friday Goad, of Bowmanvillc, was the winner of this Sanyo microwave oven in the Durham Building Supplies 10th anniversary draw.

School Addition Approved by Gretchen Ballantyne Tuesday's meeting of the Durham Région works committee, marked the end to months of dispute over the Courtice water problem. The final report of the committee recommends Courtice homeowners pay the region a connection rate of $300. This policy applies to residents on private water supplies abutting existing watermains or proposed watermains. Prior to this week's works committee committee decision, property owners would have been obligated to pay $1,335 for connection charges. The additional costs of bringingthe water from the property line to the home as well as plumbing alterations within the home will also be the financial financial responsibility of the householder. householder. The remainder of the costs have been assumed by the developers in the Courtice area and the Ministry of the Enviroment (MOE). Last week, in a meeting with Newcastle Newcastle town councillors, the developers developers agreed to contribute a $600,000 payment toward the cost of the water- mains proposed for construction in 1987 and 1988 in Courtice. "The developers have really come through for us," said Councillor Ann Cowman. "They want to sell homes, not antagonize antagonize individuals. They were in no way legally obligated to do what they've agreed to do," she explained. In addition, the MOE has verbally agreed to provide 54 per cent of the funding for the watermains in Courtice. Courtice. This is $1,080,000 of the esti mated $2,017,000 cost for the entire project. Courtice residents were pleased with the financial arrangements. Larry Hannah, spokesman for the Courtice homeowners, said the results results were good, considering no one knew what to expect from the Region. "But it is not over yet." he said, "We still have to consider the homeowners homeowners who hooked up when they went dry, and paid the full cost. They should get some kind of reimbursement." reimbursement." Mr. Hannah was referring to home- owners on Nash Road, near Courtice Secondary School. They hooked up to existing watermains over a year ago,, when their well troubles began. •The Courtice spokesman plans to bring this matter before the Newcastle Newcastle Town Council, which he feels has not yet contributed financially to the Courtice water problem. Councillors Winters and Cowman, both present at the works meeting, were content with the final report. "This is a good step forward towards towards resolving the Courtice problem," problem," Mayor Winters told r the works committee. "This policy is the broad strokes of the paint brush. Little spots have been missed and the Town of Newcastle Newcastle will deal with the inequity," he continued. Once endorsement for the recommendation recommendation is given by regional council, council, homeowners can begin the process process for connection. The recommendation recommendation will come forward at the November November 18 regional council meeting.

Carol Gonder, aquatic manager manager at the fitness centre, was recently faced with the departure of two daytime staff. Left with only 12 "constant" "constant" staff, she has had to cut back on supervised swim hours substantially. . "We are in a really tough position right now. We've had to cancel two noon hour swims, most school board swims and pool rentals, and the "over 50's" program. Until we hire more staff it's just not possible to supervise supervise all the scheduled swim time we've offered in the past," Mrs. Gonder explained. The problem is not the departure departure of staff. The difficulty difficulty is in finding Van Belle Floral Shoppes ...much more than a flower store!

"People have an image of a lifeguard or instructor as a student job for the summer summer or after school, a way for kids to make some extra money," said Mrs. Gonder. "This is not the case. The qualifications and fees involved involved in the certification of an instructor are quite considerable," she remarked. remarked. In fact, to obtain an instructor's instructor's certificate involves involves 184 hours of study and $580 in fees. This qualifies qualifies an individual from the Red Cross level through to the instructor's certificate. Following this training, Carol Gonder said an individual individual is considered a professional professional and paid accordingly. accordingly. "We realize we have to offer a wage meeting other job salaries. In today's world two people working with one making just enough for a babysitter is not enough," she admitted. She suggested that the positions available at the Fitness Centre now, are perfect for mothers at home. "Ideally the centre needs three instructors, beginning beginning immediately, for four to six hours a few days during during the week," Mrs. Gonder said. Because of the lack of response response to the positions advertised, advertised, the fitness centre began a seven week crash course for the Bronze Cross. "The participants in the course have shown an interest interest in working for the centre once they get their certificate. That will help us out quite a bit if we get no other responses," stated Mrs. Gonder. THE WALLPAPER CENTRE BUY ONE GET ONE Sale continues by popular demand on a large selection of patterns! -Vv.
