Dennison to Bud 78,000 Sq. Ft. Warehouse By Donna Fairey The president of Dennison Manufacturing has announced the company will break ground in August for a 78,000 square foot addition to their Bowmanville plant. "Construction will begin in August aand our target for com etion date is the end of the year, though we recognize it will be tough to meet," said Mr. Hugh Bieber, Bowmanville plant manager. The purpose of the expansion is to permit Dennison to consolidate their warehousing into a single centralized facility. The company will be moving their Drummondville, Quebec, finished goods warehouse to Bowmanville upon completion of the addition. Company president, Mr. R. Feinstein, has assured the development in Bowmanville will not change the scope of the company's manufacturing in Drummondville. Mr. Bieber explained the expansion in Bowmanville will allow this plant to become the company's national distribution warehouse for the storage of their various product lines. Although construction contracts have not yet been finalized, building of the 78,000 square foot addition will take place to e west of the existing building where the staff parking lot is presently located. According to Mr. Bieber, as a result of the addition, the initial staff increase will amount to approximately 40 employees. Some of this number will undoubtedly transfer from the Drummondville plant, however, definite commitments have not yet been made, he said. The addition will be a real "Cadillac" building, said Mr. Bieber, and will contain full climatie control. We will be upgrading both the interior and exterior of the present plant facility to bring it into harmony with the addition, he said. "It is the biggest project in the history of the company, size and cost wise,' said Mr. Bieber. Though the entire square footage of the addition will not be utilized initally, the construction definitely lends itself to future expansion, said the plant manager. In 1975 Dennison purchased 11.5 acres of land and opened a 40,000 square foot plant in Bowmanville's industrial park on the Base Line Road, formerly the old Honeywell plant. Initially the plant employed 13 people, however, it has increased to presently employ 70 plant and office personnel. Dennison Manufacturing claims to be the world's largest paper converter, marketing nearly 4000 different roducts. The company's four Canadian manufacturing plants are located in Montreal, Hamilton, Drummondville, and Bowmanville. sue 29 BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIOi WEDNESDAY, JULY 18,1979 32 Pages Ceremonies Start at 10:30 a.m. Gala Celebration Thursday Marks Reopening of King St. There will be balloons containing prize tickets, bands and bargains in downtown Bowmanville tomorrow morning when the front street merchants kick off their 1979 Sidewalk Sale and officially open their newly-renovated main street.

Town Gets Run Around on Govt's Plans to Deal with Nuclear Accident in Area By Maureen Corkery Newcastle town council has been getting the bureaucratic runaround concerning its requests to the federal and provincial governments for information on what would be done in the event of a nuclear accident in this area. Councillor Jasper Holliday complained at Monday's council meeting that the town's request that licensing of nuclear plants be conditional upon a suitable contingency plan has never been suitably answered. Council received a letter Monday from the Atomic Energy Control Board which said all contingency plans are being reviewed by Ontario government authorities. It went on to say that K.D. Gardner of the Ministry of the Solicitor General (Ontario) has been appointed executive co-ordinator for contingency plans. "He may be able to inform you further about current- measures to improve the plans affecting your municipality. Turn to Page 2 Kinsmen Choose Queen of Weekend Carnival Kathy Mayberry, a Bowmanville girl who is planning a career in modelling, will no doubt add a great deal of glamor to the upcoming Kinsmen Carnival this weekend. The Bowmanville Kinsmen have chosen Kathy as this year's Carnival Queen. She'll be participating in the Year of the Child Parade which starts at two p.m. Saturday and will also be on hand to award prizes in the Junior Superstars Contest which will be held Saturday afternoon along with a bike decorating contest and a eraft and hobby contest for the younger folk. The carnival itself begins this Friday at six p.m. at Bowmanville's Memorial Park. It will also be held Saturday evening at the same time and place. George Webster, Chairman of the Business District Improvement Area and Bruce Colwell, Chairman of the Downtown Merchants Committee will welcome visitors. Music will be supplied by the Bowmanville High School Band. The face-life for Bowmanville's main street is a result of a team effort by several levels of government and the merchants. Merchants in the Bowmanville Central Business District Improvement Area supplied decorative lighting and the recently- planted trees. Since the front street is a provincial highway, the Province of Ontario's Ministry of Transportation and Communications has had a hand in the construction of the street itself. The Durham Region installed underground water and sewer services and the Town of Newcastle was responsible for sidewalk re- construction. To see the finished product and to enjoy the best bargains the downtown merchants have to offer, everyone is invited to the grand openin tomorrow and to the sidewalk sale which lasts this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Hydro to Sel Its Equipment At Wesleyville Ontario Hydro is attempting to sell about $100 million worth of turbine generators, boilers and associated equipment which was purchased for the Wesleyville Generating Station. Hydro may have the opportunity to sell to a Canadian consortium two 500,000 kilowatt turbine-generators and associated equipment ordered for use at the Wesleyville Station near Port Hope. In-service dates at the station have been delayed up to 10 years, reflecting lower than expected electricity growth in Ontario. The consortium of Combustion Engineering Ltd., Canadian General Electric and Ebastec-Lavalin Inc. is attempting to place the units with foreign power authority. "There are still many ifs involved in the negotiations," said Hydro chairman Hugh Macaulay, "but we want to reassure people in the Wesleyville area that the sale, successful or not, will have no effect on present schedules for the plant, which could start-up in the early 1990's. "Our negotiations with the consortium are to recover the replacement value of the units, which means we can buy new equipment at no cost to the consumer," Mr. Macaulay said. If Ontario Hydro can seil the Wesleyville equipment, it would save money through avoiding the costs of storing and maintaining the equ pment unit it is needed. The sale of oil-fired turbine-generators would also give Hy dro more flexibility if the corporation wished to use a different fuel to power the station in the future. Two Bowmanville girls, Laurie and Lisa Hooper, 17-year-old twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hooper, Parkway Crescent, were the only Durham East competitors in the Summer Games for the Disabled in Oshawa on the weekend. At the opening, both girls took part, Laurie carrying the torch and Lisa giving the oath. In the competitions, Laurie, at left, won a gold and two silver medals in track events and a silver in swimming while sister Lisa won two golds and a silver in swimming but was eliminated from other events because of a mix up in registrations. When they were 18 months old, it was diagnosed that both had cerebral palsy. They attended the Simcoe Hall School and Crippled Children's Treatment Centre iîn Oshawa for several years, shortly after it was constructed and now are enrolled in the regular school system. Coun. Hobbs Cant See Why Will Pay $3,000 for By Maureen Corkery A feasibility study and financial appraisal of using Pine Ridge School for municipal, cultural and recreational purposes will be done by architect Grant Robertson, town council decided Monday. Robertson will also be responsible for correlating the information and presenting a report to the Minister of Government Services on behalf of the town. The cost of the project is $3,000 and is to be completed by August 15. The money will be paid out of the Municipal Development Reserve Since it was announced this spring that the training school wil1 be closing October 31, the town has expressed interest in using it as a new administrative and cultural centre. Councillor Ivan Hobbs said he is not prepared to spend $3,000 on a study until the town decides where it will get the money to buy the facility should it decide to do so. The government's policy so far has been' to sell the property at market value. That could be close to $2 million or more, said Hobbs. What's the point in doing this study when the town doesn't even know MANY SURPRISES - If all goes well, the weatherman will come through with a beautiful day Thursday morning so all the plans for the big opening ceremonies at the Bank of Montreal corner at 10:30 will be able to proceed on schedule. The function will mark the completing of reconstruction of Bowmanville's main street and the committee has some surprises in store for those attending. Come on downtown, enjoy the fun and the Sidewalk Sale that follows. CARNIVAL - As well as the Sidewalk Sale uptown, this Friday and Saturday the Bowmanville Kins- men Club will be holding their annual Carnival from 6 p.m. on. On Saturday at 2 p.m. there's a 'Year of the Child' Parade from the Canadian Tire store to Memorial Park and at 3 p.m. youngsters, boys and girls, from 6 to 10 can compete as Junior Superstars in special events at Memorial Park. There'll be crests for all and medals for the winners. VICTORIAN TEA - Let's not forget the Victorian Tea on Friday afternoon at the Museum on Silver Street. The volunteer 'Friends of the Museum' have been busy preparing all kinds of fancy goodies and the atmosphere will be most restful. It begins at 1 p.m. and continues until 4 with donations accepted. GREAT GAMES - The organization work involved in the Ontario Summer Games for the Physically Disabled in Oshawa from Thursday to Sunday was a real community effort involving more than 600 volunteers. They worked tirelessly throughout the entire affair and have every reason to be proud of themselves and the job they did. Our congratu- lations. Study There is no provision in the capital budget forecast for purchase of this property, he noted, and the money could not be taken from the town's general fund without driving taxes way up. Councillor Jasper Holliday told Hobbs that the purpose of the study is to define how the town can use the property and what it is prepared to pay, if anything. "Then we are in a position to find out how to fund it. If we can't afford it, then it goes down the drain." "We aren't committing ourselves here," added Councillor Maurice Prout. DIDN'T WORK - Recently, Ma yor Rickar threatened to crack the whip on council to keep the in line and shorten the meetings. This week, bot Acting Mayor Bill Clarke and the mayor tried it, bu it didn't work, the session dragged on. You can't wi them all. BIG MICE - P.R. Lee, R.R. 2, Orono, probably had his taste buds all set for a delicious treat when a box of Laura Secord chocolates arrived recently by mail from Calgary. Unfortunately, somebody beat him to it. There was a large hole in one corner of the carton and all the chocolates had been removed. Whoever sent it paid $1.41 in postage but the Post Office's only comment was "too bad." It wasn't in- sured. He no doubt is hoping the rat who stole them gets a face full of cavities. GOOD EFFORT - Eric Lambier of the Kendal- Campbelleroft area certainly excelled himself in the Ontario Games for the Physically Disabled in Oshawa last week. He brought home three gold medals in the standing long jump, the high jump and the 60 metre dash, setting a new Canadian record in his category. He also won two silver medals in the shot put and discus. Incidentally, we listed his father's name as Omer last week but it should have been Lucien. STILL PROBING - There's been no further in- formation available concerning plans for raising the necessary funds to complete financing of the Splash project by the end of the year. But, we understand that the possibilities are still being checked out and an announcement will be forth- coming just as soon as decisions are made. 25e Per Copy 125th Year Is UU IiU 623-3303 tatMmi Twins Collect Seven Medals in Summer Games for the Disabled
