Ee & BAKE SHOP COLD CUT CENTRE Addiction Awareness Week is declared November 16 to November 22 has officially been named Addiction Awareness Week. The municipalities of Ajax, Newcastle, Oshawa, Pickering, Scugog, Uxbridge and Whitby will be offering special programmes during this week long event. Its purpose is to increase public awareness about the nature and ex- tent of addictions by providing infor- mation on existing resources for education, prevention, treatment and recovery. Plans are being made to include many events such as children's magic show, public forums, intergeneration breakfasts, mall and industrial displays, and speakers. Over the next few months, a variety of social service and ad- diction specific agencies, industries, school boards, clergy, law en- forcements, health care profes- sionals and community volunteers will work towards consciousness raising of this serious problem. Almost everyone knows of a per- son with an addiction, be it alcohol, smoking, food, drugs, even work and they need support and en- couragement. Make sure they get the best available.

Co The PUC agreed to let GM buy its hydro electricity directly from On- tario Hydro earlier this year in exchange for some guarantee that it would increase its consumption. The switch will save GM between $3 million and $4 million and the commission wants annual compensation for its loss. The city's number one employer this week denied the demand and PUC members are furious. Chairman Abe Taylor stated the PUC had saved GM millions of dollars and complained that 10 percent of the amount should be given back to the utility in consideration of that fact. He was also upset that the demand didn't make it past the local director of the engineering plant at GM, adding the matter should have been dealt with on a higher level: the president of GM Canada. The PUC set a number of conditions when it permitted GM to buy directly from Ontario Hydro including construction of a new south-end substation, new high power equipment and the commitment to increase the amount of power used by manufacturing facilities. All these criteria have been met and Mayor Allan Pilkey has saic the PUC is making a mistake by going after more money. : "I don't think we can go back after the fact and ask for more," said the mayor, 'They've lived up to everything asked by the commission." REGION Regional council wants to know Ontario Hydro's plans for transpor- ting radioactive material out of Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. At the last meeting, council passed a recommendation that the region ask Hydro to outline proposed transportation of tritium from the pant, now under construction, before it decides whether to sell the radioactive form of hydrogen. Council wants to assure the safe transportation of the material throughout the boundaries of Durham. Hydro is thinking of selling tritium, which is created in heavy water when the water is used to cool nuclear reactors. It plans to transport the tritiated heavy water from its Pickering plant to Darlington where the tritium would be removed. If Hydro decides to sell the tritium, it would be shipped from Darlington to the purchaser. Tritium can either be stored or sold. It is used in the manufacture of illuminated signs, smoke detectors, airport runway lighting, luminous paints and nuclear weapons. : Ontario Hydro would produce about 2'4 kilograms of tritium once th Darlington facility is operational. A region staff report indicated the problems of transporting the ex- tracted tritium from Darlington have yet to be dealt with by Hydro and council agreed they wanted the matter resolved before Hydro makes it deci- «sion on selling the tritium. : WHITBY A seven-storey apartment building containing subsidized rental units will be built south of Dundas Street in the Corridor area of Whitby despite angry objections by residents living in' the area. At the last council meeting, members voted unanimously to approve a site plan application from the Durham Region Non-Profit Housing Cor- poration for the 70-unit complex to be built on Nichol Avenue at Wood Drive. Families and handicapped persons with lower incomes will be permit- ted to lease half of the units and receive subsidized rent through the cor- poration, set up two years ago to build affordable housing in the region. One objecting resident, Dennis Fox of Kirby Crescent, said he objected to the project, not because of the subsidized apartments it would contain, but because of the building itself and the effect it would have on neighbour- ing residences. "I am aware that the proper zoning is in effect, but I still believe this is an inappropriate site for such a tall building." Fox was referring to the "shadow" effect the building would have on neighbouring homes, and also complained about the large parking lot around the building. He said that despite a six foot fence around the pro- perty, the privacy of neighbouring homes would be affected. Councillor Tom Edwards, a strong supporter of affordable housing, pointed out that the area is zoned for 131 units, and that the corporation had cut this figure down to 70 in an effort to appease local residents.
