Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, February 21, 1990-3 Mailing address to become Courtice According to statements by Counc. Larry Hannah of the Town of Newcastle and representing the Courtice area Canada Post is to recognize the mailing address of Courtice by the end of 1990. Hannah and the director of plan- ning for the Town, Frank Wu, have meet with Canada Post obtaining the support of the Crown Corpora- tion and a commitment to a Cour- tice mailing address. Canada Post had previously refused to acknowledge Courtice as a mailing address and all letters and parcels for the Courtice area had to be addressed through a R.R. Number out of Bowmanville. Hannah said it was explained to Canada Post that Courtice now had a population of 10,000 and is ex- pected to grow to 25,000 within.the next five years. Canada Post opened a post office in the Courtice area earlier this year. This service has been sought for the area over the past four years. Looking at new jobs if Wesleyville chosen Kim Osmars, Ontario Hydro lakeshore manager, recently ad- dressed the Northumberland Coun- ty council outlining aspects of On- tario Hydro's twenty-five year plan. The plan includes the construc- tion of two new nuclear stations along with four more fossil fuel plants. Of interest to the Nor- thumberland councillors would be a possible plant at Wesleyville where Ontario Hydro owns some 2000 acres of land and through which a transmission line is already built. But Hydro will also be consider- ing a second plant at Darlington, a further plant at Bruce and a possibility of locating one of the nuclear plants at Blind River. The revitalizing of the mothball- ed plant at Wesleyville would pro- duce some 7500 construction jobs at the peak of the operation as well as 1200 to 1500 operational jobs when the plant was completed. Although Hydro is not about to give any indication, at this point, as to their preference, but Osmars did say that Wesleyville was an attrac- tive site for a new nuclear plant. Hydro scrapped the Wesleyville plant in 1979 after spending $250 million on the complex over a six year period. The plant was to have been an oil-fired generating plant. Ontario Hydro expects to have a new nuclear plant in operation by the year 2003.
