2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 18.1984 SMALL TALK By Donna Fairey Town Planning Luncheon To Promote New Industry Ontario Hydro, it seems, has suffered a rare chink in the almost flawless armour which protects the utility against serious wounding wounding from its nuclear power critics. Fanatically sensitive to public perception, real or imaginary, it looks like the electric company is not infallible infallible after all. In fact, it appears that an unusual unusual judgment move has caught the utility with its knickers down. And for an encore, the whole matter is uproariously uproariously amusing. Ontario Hydro is taking shots from all directions directions over an instruction instruction pamphlet it recently recently prepared for distribution distribution to residents living within the shadow of the Pickering Pickering nuclear plant. Information contained contained in the booklet apparently tells the area's 40,000 residents what to do in the event of a nuclear emergency. Yet unmailed, the contents of the pamphlet pamphlet are already under fire. Critics say that the how - to - cope - with - disaster booklet could cause more choas than it eradicates. Incidentally, Incidentally, although prepared prepared by Hydro, the information information comes out under the signature of Pickering mayor Jack Anderson. Certain members of the town council say they never saw the piece prior to its printing. In any event, the handy-dandy, radiation can be beaten booklet, suggests that residents take their issue of potassium iodide pills. Citizens are led to believe believe that the tablets are a combatant against the effects of radiation. Apparently the pill protects protects the human thyroid gland against radiation poisoning. What is to protect the rest of the body, pray tell? Flaw number one of many. Although the pamphlet tells people to take them, it doesn't say how or where to get the pills. Upon query, there has been talk that following an emergency warning, Hydro or fire department department employees would distribute the tablets door to door - Fuller Brush style. The pill business is but one of the gray areas shading the instruction sheet. There's more. The leaflet cautions resi- 90 Residents Object To New Street Location From Page One High St. also spoke against the street location. But Pam Fenton, whose family is about to move into a new home on High St., said that if the street were re-located, her property would be surrounded on three sides by roadways. roadways. "This would decrease the pleasure pleasure we hope to have from our property, not to mention its monetary monetary value," she said. John Wigley, a representative of the owner of the subdivision, CEAN Investments Limited, told members of council that changing the location location of the road would increase the cost of the subdivision by $75,000 and would mean that the project would no longer be feasible. "With a road to the south, we can't build it," Mr. Wigley said. He also said residences can be buffered from a road through the use of landscaping to screen adjoining adjoining houses. He reminded council that the main concern is not with the zoning of the land but with the design of the road. The general purpose committee has advised council to proceed with the rezoning which would permit the 50 new residential units. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard said he is supporting the plan because because of the need to proceed with development in the town's urban areas. "In Bowmanville, where we have spent enormous amounts of money to put in municipal services, it seems most difficult to proceed with development," said Mayor Rickard. Rickard. The Newcastle mayor added that he is concerned over the fact that development which has occurred in recent years is scattered over the rural areas of the municipality rather than in the urban centres where so much has been spent to accommodate development. "I am concerned when development is scattered all over the municipality. That does cost the taxpayers some money," said Mayor Rickard. Newcastle council has .agreed to grant CEAN Investments the rezoning rezoning needed to proceed with its High St. project. In addition, a draft plan of the subdivision for the site has been granted a year's extension. Planning Director Terry Edwards said Monday that construction of the subdivision may not occur until the Town of Newcastle and the owner of the land have entered into a satisfactory subdivision agreement. agreement. One of the conditions of developing developing the project will be the creation of a buffer zone to screen buildings from the adjoining CPR railway. The subdivision calls for a total of 14 semi detached homes and 22 single family dwellings. Buy Now and Pay Later NoInterestforlYear! Offer Expires April 30, 1984 Examples 5 pc.

Perhaps Hydro means the day after, who knows? It was about this point that I started to break up. The various suggested procedures are a little like telling the person with a fractured fractured leg that kissing it will make the break go away. Residents are further told to lock their homes and drive to a specified emergency area. The location of the centre, however, is omitted. C'mon guys. You can do better than that. People will either file the document under "G" where it belongs or they will decide the Special Week For Works Staff The Town of Newcastle will set aside a week next month to recognize those public servants who maintain maintain our roads, plow the snow, supply our water and collect the garbage.

Director of Public Works Ron Dupuis asked in a report report to the committee that the week be advertised. Members of the public who wish to learn more about the town's works department department may contact the municipality during the week. The works department will make arrangements for anyone interested in viewing viewing operations or enquiring about services provided at the regional and local level.

If they go half way as they did with the Pickering Pickering pamphlet, they gain nothing but the wrath of their critics. Sadly, Hydro isn't the only one that loses. whole thing was a funny gag and simply die laughing. While the Pickering mayor agrees that the instructions are flawed, He contends they are better than nothing. nothing. Can't say I agree. Indeed, Hydro could very well be in a Catch 22 situation.

U j , DRAMA AND FOOTBALL: WHAT A COMBINATION By Andrew Smith The May 9th - 12th drama production of The King and I by the Bowmanville High School Drama Club is of special interest to boys hoping to play on a Senior football team next year. Senior Football Football had to be dropped from B.H.S.' Sports program last year due to a lack of funds. Proper equipment, like football football helmets costing $93, are very expensive and so the football team was allowed to wither away. However, the prospects for a Senior Football team this year are brighter than ever, thanks to the Bowmanville High School Drama Club. The generosity of the Club in promising to donate proceeds to the Athletic department has brought forth praise from that department's. head, Mr. Brunt. With great interest generated by the donation, Mr. Brunt has involved the boys in a team effort to sell tickets. Through telephoning drama enthusiasts to sell tickets of $4 adult and $3 student, Mr. Brunt hopes the WARKWORTH CHEESE HOUSE and ICE CREAM PARLOUR (Hwy. 115, Newcastle, at DX station) Telephone 987-4339 THIS WEEK'S SPECIAL Havarti Cheese. . s 2.71 lb.

Newcastle's mayor expects that an upcoming luncheon with representatives representatives of local industry will be the beginning of a long-range plan to promote the town's commercial potential. Plans for a May 29 industrial strategy luncheon were tentatively, approved by the town's general purpose purpose and administration committee on Monday. Although it will be similar to previous previous Industrial Promotion Days held in the Town of Newcastle, Mayor Rickard suggested that the emphasis will be on creating a group which will work towards promoting this municipality. Mayor Rickard added that he has already been approached by a number number of individuals who are willing to work with the town. "I could name a dozen or 15 people who would sit down with us," Mayor Rickard Rickard said. "We want positive thinkers," thinkers," In describing the luncheon, Mayor Rickard said: "We hope to lead them through a discussion of things that can be done in this town." While all members of council are supporting the plans for industrial promotion, at least two councillors feel that the town's previous efforts at self-promotion have been less than satisfactory. Councillor Cowman pointed out that Newcastle could benefit by sponsoring a major festival in connection connection with Mosport. It's an idea that comes up every year without any action being taken, she added. "We had a tourist office and we closed it down," she said. Councillor Ivan Hobbs suggested that Newcastle has the greatest potential potential of any town between Toronto Toronto and Montreal. "We never seem to advertise our assets," he said. Chief Administrative Officer Dave Johnston said in a report to members of council that talks between between the town and the private sector sector are important. "In large measure, the initiatives promoted by the town will depend on the input received from the private private sector," said Mr. Johnston. Panasonic. at all these Super Money-Saving Prices!
