2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 12, 1978 Roast Tuf rns into a, Toast for Federal MP. By Mandy Martin It was organized to be a roast and toast Northumber- land-Durham MP AI' Lawrence dinner, but it iooked more like a who's who in the Progressive Conservative Party. There were two provincial cabinet ministers, four guest MP's, assorted , party organizers and workers and over 300 party faithfui at the Saturday evening dinner at the Port Hope Legion. Need- iess to say, the "roasts" of the guest of honor, AI Lawrence, were more like "toasts." Provincial Minister Health Dennis Timbreil acted as the master of ceremonies for the evening and was subject to the most severe roasting at the hands of other speakers. Neither was Health Minister Tom Wells exempt from barbed remarks. The mystery guest, who had been given much billing in the several'weeks preceding the dinner, turned out to be.E disappointing impersonator o Ontario Premier Bill Davis Many of the- audience wer( actually speculating or federal Tory leader Joe Clark or Premier Bill Davis showing up in person. Someone ever whispered, "I heard it waç Diefenbaker. " The officiai "toasters" werE four federai MP's, Flora MacDonald, Kingston and the Islands, Paul Dick, Lanarli Renfrew-Carieton, George Hees, Prince Edward- Hastings and Bill Kempling, Haiton-Wentworth.

T0wn ApprovesF0MB Costs Newcastle council has approved the payment-of just over $13,000 in legal expenses and consulting fees related to the Courtice Heights hearings before the Ontario Munici- pal Board. At a council session Monday night, payment of an invoice totalling $2,796.40 fromi the IBI Group was approved. The IBI Group is a consulting firm hired by the municipality. In addition, council approved payment of an invoice from Sims Mvorton Mclnerney and Brady otalling $10,562.01. -This second invoice covered legal fees and expenses relating to the Courtice hearings. Hearings into t he pgrop osed Courtice Heights su division development are scheduled to resume next Monday in Hampton. T own Backs PUC Study An investigation into the re-struct- urîng o public tlte across the Durham Region has been endorsed by members of Newcastle council. Endorsement of the study was approved Monday night following a recorded vote of 5-2. The motion passed by council also recommends that if public utilities are re-structured, they should operate at the level of the area municipality. This would rule out any region-wide electrical system being established here. touncillor Bruce Taylor explained Monday that he believed details on the type of studyand when it would be done would be decided by Iurham's regional council. "If one (study) takes place, it would have to be on a regional basis," he said. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard said he understood that the re- structuring study would be conduct- ed by Public Utilities staff. He said that the cost would be negligible to users of electricity and he added that the cost would not b e borne by the municipality. Speaking against the study, Coun- cillor Bob Dykstra, said that he could not support it until further information was available. He said an estimate on the price of the study is one of the pieces of information he needed. At a meeting recently in Bowman- ville, the municipality's four distrib- utors of hydro indicated that they are mainly in favor of the re-struct- uring study. Ontario Hydro, which provides power to rural customers; the Bowmanville Public Utilities Commission; and the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission spoke in favor of the program.

RESERVATIONS APPRECIATED 623-4925 The municipality's architectural conservation committee is being asked to provide advice to the town on the historic value of the Canadian National rail station in south Bowmanville. In- a letter to Newcastle council Monday, the CNR said the station is no longer needed. for railway purposes. "Accordingly, Canadian National intends to apply to the Canadian Transport Commission for authority to remove the building," the company added in its letter. The correspondence asked for council's permission to remove the building. Councillor Bruce Taylor said during discussion of the letter that the Local Architectural Conserva- tion Advisory Committee (LACAC) should be asked for an opinion. "It is my belief that they have co nsidered this particular railway station as some historic significance to the town, " Councillor Taylor said.
