No Hunting Recommended by Diane Pickett The Town of Newcastle will recommend recommend to the Central Lake Ontario Ontario Conservation Authority "the elimination of hunting as a permitted permitted use" in the Long Sault Conservation Conservation Area. This recommendation from the Planning Department is part of a report outlining the Town's position position regarding the Long Sault Master Master Plan. Residents of the Long Sault area attended the general purpose and administration committee meeting on February 4th to reiterate their concerns about the master plan. Elizabeth Craig, whose family owns approximately 200 acres adjacent adjacent to the conservation area, said her "son was practically killed" by hunters' stray bullets, but she was reassured by Councillor Diane Hamre. "Your fears will be relieved when you see the report," she said. Another resident, Jill Haskins, had seen the report and wanted to reinforce its recommendations: "I would like to see the hunting banned." banned." Kay Buttery was also pleased with the staff report but had an additional additional problem. She, and neighbor neighbor Helen Terry, wanted to know why the master plan marked some residential properties for eventual purchase by the conservation authority authority and not others. Ms. Terry asked, "Would the committee committee be prepared to exclude those properties where homes have already been built?" The committee agreed to include this request for consideration and review before the report goes to Council for approval. The report also recommends that horseback riding be permitted in the Long Sault Conservation Area "within designated areas",. Hey, Where is Everybody? by Diane Pickett There were a few embarrassed faces at the general purpose and administration committee meeting on February 4th. A very few! Councillor Diane Hamre, Mayor Garnet Rickard, and committee chairman Councillor Ivan Hobbs were the only elected officials in attendance. Usually the committee would postpone its business until a minimum of four councillors were present. However, the committee members members passed a resolution permitting them to continue without a quorum in view of the number of delegations delegations and the large audience. Mayor Rickard felt that it would be inappropriate and inconsiderate inconsiderate to ask the audience, many of whom could ill afford the time, to return at a later date. The Mayor told the committee that Councillor Bruce Taylor was attending a R.O.M.A. (Rural Ontario Municipalities Association) convention, convention, and had asked to be excused excused from Monday's meeting. No explanation was offered for the absence of Councillors Hubbard, Hubbard, Cowman and Woodyard. Even the staff ranks were depleted. depleted. None of the department heads were present, with the exception exception of Administrator Dave Johnston.

By Peter Parrott Ernest Colliss, a leader with the Fifth Bowmanville Scouts, received the Salvation Army Scouters' Award on Monday evening. Mr. Colliss is shown hel'e as he is presented with the certificate and medal from Captain Ellis Cuff. The award is given for exceptional Christian service through Scouting. It recognizes leaders who show a consistent Christian character and who conscientiously teach spiritual values by word and by living. Mr. Colliss has been active in Scouts for the past 21 years, with 20 of those spent as a Scout leader. As a member of the Salvation Army's Bowmanville Corps, he teaches Sunday school and trains new recruits to become Salvation Army Soldiers. Mr. Colliss, with the Fifth Bowmanville Scout Troop, was among the first volunteers to develop Camp Madawaska, a Salvation Army camp for young people located near Algonquin Park. You've got to hand it to Ontario Hydro. They're not only experts experts at building nuclear nuclear generating stations stations but they're also creative enough to design design a whole new method of . measurement. measurement. At least, that's what we understand from a recent news release which reveals that the Darlington generating station will contain enough re-inforcing steel to equal the weight of21,666 African bull elephants. Each reactor will weigh 715 tons, which is the equivalent of 108 African bull elephants. So, you can see that while the United States uses the pound as its basis of measurement and Canada supposedly uses the kilogram, the folks at Ontario Hydro are using bull elephants. I suppose this is the sort of thing we will v- V i Grand Opening Held for New Business ■' The Grand Opening of Texaco Car Wash's new Rust Checks service was held February 4th at their King Street East location.

If Hydro wants to build its generating station on the ^African Bull elepham,.«itand;ard, who can Sto^ithem? Before long, we will hear that the station is about 850 elephants long or thirty nine elephants tall. Traffic will move at about 25 elephants per hour. Not that there aren't some advantages to using elephants as measuring sticks. For one thing, they're much harder to misplace than those pesky tape measures. It all goes to prove that the greatest danger posed by Darlington is not a radioactive leak or a meltdown. The greatest threat is a stampede. Now before I get carried carried away with this little little joke at Hydro's expense, expense, I should add that the idea behind the elephants is a good one. It's hard to grasp the exact size of the project unless we can visualize it through comparisons with everyday things. So I'll buy the idea that the generating station station contains enough concrete to duplicate the CN tower 18 times over. And another good comparison is seen in the statement which equates the power of Darlington's four nuclear nuclear reactors to the amount of power required required to meet the electrical electrical demands of all of Metropolitan Toronto on the coldest day of winter. In other words, its full output will light up the lives of about 3 million.

It all points towards the little-known little-known fact that the power station being built on our very doorstep represents the largest single construction construction project on the continent. But to say that each boiler contains a volume volume of 21,000 gallons-- an amount equal to 448,000 cups of tea is a less helpful statistic. Those of us who have difficulty thinking in terms of thousands of gallons will have just as much trouble with hundreds hundreds of thousands of teacups. The same thing holds true about the elephants. When it comes to comparing the weight of re-inforcing steel to 21,666 African bull elephants, all I can say is tusk, tusk!. Frank Hooper is a Big Brother. He spends every Sunday with eight-year-old Shawn Williams, mostly out at the farm where the Hooper family lives. Shawn enjoys his weekly trips, and "is like part of the family", says Mr. Hooper. Shawn and Mr. Hooper interrupted interrupted their Sunday this week to pose for a publicity shot for the Big Brothers' Bowl for Millions.
