2 The Canadian Statesman, B3owmanville, November 30,- 1977 Local- Couple Celebrate Filftieth edngAnvesr Councillor Queries Shelter Color Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brunt received over 250 friends and relatives at Trinity Church Hall on Saturday, November 12th on the occasion of their Golden Wedding Anniversary. Pouring tea were, Mrs. Norma Jeffrey and Mrs. Grace Carnochan, sisters of the bride and Mrs. Myrtie McGill, sister of the groom and Miss Clara Page, niece of the groom. 1Presiding at the guest book was their yuungest grandson, Paul Brunt and receiving guests at the door were their grandsons Grant and Brian Councillor Bruce Taylor said this week that he has had some complaints about the color of the new bus shelters for Bowmanville's streets. He said he has been told by some that the bright yellow color of the buildings wilI not fit in with downtown scenery. Councillor Don Allin said, how- ever,, that the bright yellow was suggested so that the shelters are easy 'to see. In »addition, he mentioned that only one small panel of the structure is colored, flot the whole building. (From Page One) that access to restricted government property is legal if a person is trying to rescue someone from danger. Citing the section of the act, several argued that their actions were legal because they perceived the situation as dangerous. The judge, however, ruled the contention that the protestors were responding to the danger of nuclear pollution as inadmissable. Explaining his understanding of the clause, Judge Bark said that a person who crosses on to property to save somebody from drowning llustrated the intent of the act. But, a number of the protestors testified that they had acted because they felt that t he project posed a threat to society. Mr. Bennett told the judge that he was afraid that without an environ- mental assessment hearing, the project represented a real danger to future generations. 'I was protecting my life and, the liberty of my children," he said.* Judge Bark, indicating that the court was not a political forum, told the witness to limit his remarks to the immediate legal evidence per- taining to the charge. After telling the court that he was proud of participating in the demonstration, Mr. Bennett said that he would do it again in the future if he had to. Among those who also received fines for trespassing were Jikke Miedema, 29 of Bowmanville; Doug Saunders, 27, 'Ross White, 25, Joanne Szabo, 21, Gé'orge Lennon, all from Toronto; Peter Francis, 19, Gerry Gagnon, 26, Mae Moore, 21, of London; William Cameron, 21, Ottawa; Paul Gervan, 32, Kingston and Peter Onstein, 31 of Brockville. Mi nister Slams Hydro Deal (Fromn Page One) But the councillors were continu- ally conscious of the political interests that they were represent- ing during the sessions that were hedin - camera, Mr. Anderson said. When hie pointed out the poor attendance of a public meeting called by the town in the summer to discuss the nuclear generating project, Mr. Schamerhorn replied that it was- because local residents received notice of the meeting too late to turn out for it. CalLng the earlier meeting "e'mickey-mouse", hie said that the public should have received advane warning 50 that they could have arranged to attend. The minister argued that the issue raised- theological questions, as well as economic and environmental aspects. Stressing that -Ontario Hydro should turn to energy management rather than ever increasing pro- duction, he saîd that people ought to begin conserving electricity. "We have espoused too well the, slogan propagated by Ontario Hydro, "Live Better Electrically," he said. "We are now beginning to feel the consequences of that," he added. *DRIED FRESH TROPICAL .GREEN PLANTS 3 STORES: S .Highway No. 2 Kig s. E., Cars in 'Waverley Tunnel?

In the evening the immedi- ate family were entertained at the home of Allen and Mena Martin. Guests were present from Stayner, Peterborough, Blackstock, Nestieton, Port Perry, Trenton. The Town 'of Newcastle is not likely to get any grants for bus stop shelters in Bowmanville. The Ministry, of T ransportation and Communications, stated in a letter to the town that Tr ansit Capital Subsidy Assistance is not available because the municipality does not provide a local transit service within its boundaries. When Newcastle council approved of bus stop shelters for Bowmanville a few weeks ago, it recommended that grants and subsidies for the buildings be sought. Cost of the shelters is approxi- mately $4,500.

The school playground re- quires regrading and the addition of new drainage ditches to improve the present facîlities, a report to the Northumberland and New- castle Board of Education shows. The report prepared by Totten, Sims, Hubicki and Associates Ltd. recommends installing an open ditch for the south and west boundaries of the grounds which drain into the Ormiston Road culvert in front of the sehool. The firm, which also con- ducted soil investigation tests on the school grounds, report- ed that inadequate run-off and poor ditch grading are the main factors in, the drainage problem. The Town of Newcastle is also expected to enter into the discussions because the ditch fronting on the school is municipal property. The board voted in favor cf, meeting with the town te negotiate varieus aspects of the recommendation before making a final decision. The report urges postponing the renovation project until the end cf the school year te avoîd interrupting outdoor school actîvities and allow the, grounds te grew back during the summer holiday. No,1 Reduction in Taxes The municipality's finance com- mittee is recommending that no reduction in taxes be given'to the new nine storey apartment building in downtown Bowmanville. Mario Veltri, president of Veltri and Son Limited, informed council recently that the Town of Newcastle does not have the truck required to empty a special garbage compactor installed at the building. Since another company must provide garbage pick-up,_ an_ exemption from taxes related to garbage pick-up services was re- quested.- ; 1, However, Town Treasurer, Klaas De Groot stated in a report to the finance committee that the town does not have any legislative authority to grant this request., The treasurer requested that the exemption not be granted and the finance committee concurred with this request.
