Na NL SAE SK 3 - oN Tis 3 PERT 12-- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Mar. 8, 1978 Mayor among delegates to OMEA meeting Scugog Mayor Lawrence Malcolm, building inspector Robert Kenny and Mr. Wm. Williams were among some 1,400 delegates who attended the annual meeting of the Ontario Municipal Electric Association last month as delegates representing util- ity commissions from across the province. The Association is the spokesman for more than 340 municipal utilities through- out Ontario, the commis- sioners and councillors of which were elected to oper- ate a specialized municipal service and thus represent more than two million resid- ential, commercial and industrial customers served Over the past year, the Army Cadet League of Ont- ario has seen a renewed interest in the Cadet move- ment and an encouraging increase in the level of enrollment. Our own local Cadet Corps is currently looking for young people, male and female, between by the municipal distribution systems, and who consume two-thirds of the electric power in Ontario. Delegates to the two day Annual Meeting held February 27-28 at the Royal York Hotel were involved in discussions on a number of significant issues that have or will affect their con- sumers. The topics ranged from the cost of power and the establishment of rates to a public safety program regarding high voltage wires in residential neighbour- hoods and planning for a new nuclear generation station. Program speakers includ- ed the Hon. W. Darcy McKeough, Treasurer of the ages of 13 - 18 inclusive, who might want to become involved in the many activi- ties Cadets offer. -- ~~ Brigadier Gene-al Forbes West, head of the Army Cadet Movement for Ontario noted that young people are often reluctant to join a cadet corps because they are MARCH 9 Fri.

Reuben C. Baetz, Minister of Energy for Ontario, Robert: B. Taylor, Chairman of the Board of Ontario Hydro and Alan M. Schwartz, 0.M.E.A. Counsel before the Ontario Energy Board. As he highlighted the events of an active year for the Association, C President H. D. Hamilton challenged the delegates" to get involved on behalf of their local consumers. "And that's why we're here," he stated, "to be in- volved, and..... reasonably well informed. But it's not easy. Itis up to us to face up to the "public participation" inquiries of Ontario Hydro- misinformed as to what may be required of them. Joining a local corps does not com- mit a cadet in any way to the Canadian Armed Forces, West said. He or she may leave the cadets at any time. As well, uniforms, summer camp, meals, excursions - in fact, every aspect of the Cadets program is provided free of charge. Youngsters who join up with a local corps before March 31st are eligible for Cadet summer camp, West added. Courses in scuba ~ diving, parachuting, photo- graphy, judo, etc., are avail- 'able. Summer camps run for either two or six weeks. All cadets who attend camp receive a $100.00 bonus at the end of the summer. Older cadets, that is, those stu- dents with several years experience who are at least sixteen years old, may work as instructors during the summer.~, Their remuner- ation is in the region of $2,000.00. Young men and women receive the same basic train- - ing. Local groups meet one night a week for about two hours. Usually, one weekend a month is also set aside for a There's nothing particularly. old- fashioned about Cadets, West pointed out. Beyond the educational benefits of the movement, the big at- traction for thousands of Ontario -cadets is that the program is fun. O.MEA. and. see that those being asked to make decisions with respect to Ontario Hydro never lose sight of the need for energy that faces this province." : Referring to the pressures to close down the nuclear program in favour of so- called "soft" techniques ad- vocated by various groups and interests, including SW of opposition par- tief, Mrs Hamilton stated that, "This Association and its members, have an obli- gation to make certain that consumers - understand the choices. Solar and wind "generated electricity, while desirable and capable of a contribution to our energy Cadet Corps look for recruits Interested persons can contact their local corps (the numbers are listed in the telephone book) or call the Ontario Cadet Army League Headquarters for inform- ation at (416) 488-4342. needs cannot make any sig- nificant contribution in the next several years." "It will be most unfortun- ate if the people of this pro- vince are misled by such theoretical solutions into shelving the present plans for the development of nuclear plants. To wake up . too late and find ourselves in a- crisis. would be _unfor- giveable." ) The Annual Meeting was held in conjunction with that of the"Association of Munci- pal Electrical Utilities (in Ontario) (AMEU).
