2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, July 18, 1979 Nluclear Crities li Have an Op portunity To Answer Questions Critics of nulear power will be allowed to answer questions along with Ontario Hfydro spokesmen at the upcoming public meeting oi the !Darlington Generating Station, council decided Monday. 1The meeting is being held to reiew, with the public, the present status of Darlington, the need for it and to discuss contingency plans i the event of a nulear accident. :Ontario Hydro has been lnvited to present a brief report on the project and then answer questions from the public. In a letter to council, Dorothy Boden of the newly- formed Durham Region Coal-, ition for Nuclear Responsibil- ity said, "it is our view that Van Belle Floral Shoppes F.. much more than a flower store! 48STORES S Highwey No. 2 KIng SI. E., Oshawa Oshawa 1King St. W., VA EE Bowmanvlfle these questions should be answered not only by tbe proponents of nuclear power, le. Ontario Hydro, but also by those well-versed in the draw- backs to tbis form of power generation." She asked that two nuclear critics "well- prepared to accurately present the alternate view- point" be allowed to speak as well. Counillors Keith Barr and Jasper Holiday said tbey didn't see wby this group should get preferential treat- ment. Its representatives wil have the opportunity to speak the same as any other members of the public who attend. "This is to be a public information meeting. We are not conducting a hearing but a question and answer period," argued Holliday. "You may be happy with alI tbe answers we've been getting from Hydro", replied Councillor Ivan Hobbs, "but I'm not". He indicated that at the meeting wben someone asks a question, he would like to bear a reply from Hydro and a reply from the nuclear critics. Councillor Ann Cowman also tbougbt someone should be there to comment "on tbe other side of the coin" From Page 1 Meanwhile, copy of a letter from Ontario Minister of Labor Hon. Robert Elgie to MPP Sam Cureatz did littie to allay council's concerns about the preparedness of local medical faciities to treat victims of radiation accidents. Elgie first pointed out that the Ministry of Labor is no longer the lead Ministry for nuclear emergency planning. This r espnsibilty no rests with W.A.B. Anerson whow reports to the Solicitor General, the chairman of the cabinet committee on Emergency Planning. Elgie said he has discussed council's concerns with other cabinet members and members of his staff have held discussions with their counterparts in the Ministry of Health "with a view to involving various medical facilities in the planning preparation for dealing with tis type of emergency. CI agree on the importance of preparing hospitals in the vicinity of the Darlington plant before the first unit of that Rlan 'becomes operational in 1986.' Couneillor Ann Cowman said she ý"astonished that anyone would consider building such a thing in a built-up area when hospitaland contingency plans are needed. What are we coming to? I think we're mad. " Delay Decision on Designating Town Hall as an Historic Site Town council delayed a decision on whether or not to designate tbe Town Hall as an historical site until it bas definitely decided where its administrative facilities are to, be located. The town is considering tbe possibllity of amalgamating all administrative offices in one location on the Pine Ridge School property. The local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee recommended tbe building for designation for architectural reasons because its exterior bas suffered only minor alterations since it was completed in 1904 and also because it is the only example in Bowmanville of the Beaux Arts style of architecture. In addition, it is the best example Of civic architecture left in Bowmanville and historicaily, it bas housed municipal offices since 1904. 1The purpose of designating a builig or property as an historical site, is to protect sometbing of architectural and-or bistorical value or interest. Designation allows council to control alterations to land and buildings and, to a certain extent, demolition or removal of buildings. If the owner wants to make alterations which are likely to affect the reasons for designation, he or abe must apply to council for permission to do so. Councillor Ann Cowman argued in favor of the designa- tion because it would protect the building, to some extent, from beinÏg tomn down to build something like a parking lot.

TIown Gets Runaround Letter to Editor Dear Johnny; one of my readers called at the bouse tbe other day with two items he tbought mîght interest me. The first one concerned the mayor afid the indoor swimming pool, witb Mr. Rickard explamning that by using "zero based budget- ing"l there need be nio ope!'at- i ng deficit. This is what we used to cail " pay as you go" (I think) and I thought this observation was timely as I could neyer quite realize bow, before the p lace was even started ta be bufit, those i the know could figure it was going ta Jose $40,000.00 the first year. Thé second item was from a trade magazine and was by Dr. Steve Smith, Recreation Professor, University of Waterloo. Dr. Smith takes a very very pessimistie view ef the cost of ligbting and heating new arts centres, hockey arenas, swimming pools and, so forth and suggests "per- haps Wintario sbould be put- ting some of its, proceeds putting some of its proceeas into some kind of a trust fund Sate driving is a famiiy altair. ta help offset the operating coats for faciities currently in tbe miil." Hope be is wrong. A week after fayor Rickard explained bis "zero based budgeting" be bas a another letter ini the paper saying he was a little misunderstood. Whereas some people were using a figure of $50,000 to $150,00 as a deficit he pre- ferred -ta use the Dept. -of Com- munity Services figure of $40,000 and "zero based budgeting and efficiency of op)eration it should not cost the taxpayers more than one dollar per person." Ail of whicb brings us pretty well back te where we started.
