on ol oo s en e e i. i BE i Jan. 26, 1994 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Salt water causing Hydro headaches Blackouts blamed on weather conditions Salt â€" that white crystalline subâ€" stance which makes most foods taste better, rusts cars and melts snow can also create havoc with hydro lines. According to Joe McAuley, Oakville Hydro manager of marketing and customer services, all three power failures in Oakville on Sunday night and early Monday morning were salt related. And so apparently were the blackâ€" outs which left thousands of Toronto area residents without power over the same period. Oakville was more fortunate since all three blackouts were confined to mostly rural and industrial areas, and affected relatively few residential cusâ€" tomers. McAuley blamed all three outages on the combination of salt buildup from busy roadways and Sunday‘s moist atmosphere conditions. The salt and water combination makes a potent conductor which can cause short cirâ€" cuits and power outages along the power system. In one case, a wooden hydro pole caught fire at 10:43 p.m. Sunday on Royal Windsor Drive in East Oakville and knocked out power to 3,000 cusâ€" Oakville Hydro crews have been kept busy dealing with power failures caused by salt and waterâ€"induced short circuits. tomers for about six minutes. The pole was replaced by hydro workers on Monday. In another blackout, several rural customers in north Oakville were without power for a few hours, said McAuley, when three transformers (Photo by Peter McCusker) blew on Hwy. 5. The third outage occurred at 2 a.m. along the South Service Road and Third Line for a few minutes, said McAuley. Most of the affected cusâ€" tomers were businesses which were closed at that time, he said. Residents want police to tell them when dangerous convicts paroled into town By GORD KOLLE Special to the Beaver Halton police should warn the public when dangerous convicts are paroled into the community, says an Oakville citizens‘ group. The 10â€"member Glen Abbey Community Policing Committee has asked Halton Police Chief Peter Campbell to release the identity of a criminal whose offences include homicide and sexual assaults on adults and children. "We‘d rather our government or police get a lawsuit from a criminal than from parents whose child gets sexuâ€" ally assaulted," said committee spokesman Terence Young. "The request would be protecting the innocent and the vulnerable." In a media release Monday, the committee says that "families and neighbors are at risk under the current departmental policy of providing no public notice." Halton Police Sgt. Joe Martin said the Halton force has no such policy in place. Nor are there any dangerous conâ€" victs about to arrive in Oakville, he said. Martin said the Halton force is quite prepared to release x * x x‘ x C O G N the names of criminals considered dangerous to the public safety, but only after an extensive investigation into the threat. criminal‘s background proves the individual is still a "The aftermath is extreme for the individual and his reputation.
