This has already resulted in significant improvements as owners responded by cleaning the fronts of their buildings and adding touches which make the storefronts more attractive. The BIA has monitored all of the proposed rezoning requests which have been submitted for commercial space in the Bowmanville area. In November, November, the BIA wrote to the.planning department expressing concern about the size of all the proposed new commercial commercial areas. Their combined square footage would be over 700,000. That is an area two and one-half times the size of the present commercial area contained along King Street between the Bowmanville Mall and the Van- stone Mill. On two occasions, the BIA wrote to Town Council concerning the dangerous dangerous practice of skateboarding and cycling cycling on downtown sidewalks. They were successful in having a by-law passed which prohibits skateboarding and cycling on downtown walkways. The BLA was equally successful in having the municipality correct a problem related to uneven sidewalks that posed a threat to the safety of pedestrians. pedestrians. Another project undertaken by Bow- manville's Business Improvement Area was the development of a street map of the municipality. Twenty-five thousand copies of the map are being produced in co-operation with the Town of Newcastle and the downtown businesses contributed $2,500 towards this project. The first copies of the new map are now available. Mr. Webster noted that the downtown downtown businesses are not opposed the creation of shopping malls so long as they are part of the area designated as by the Official Plan of the Town of Newcastle. "As I have said on numerous numerous occasions, both at the annual allmembers allmembers meetings and at the OMB , we are in favor of reasonable competition competition because it forces us to do our thing better."

Centre in December fall proclaim the Downtown as the Centre of life in Bowmanville. "These endeavours are not, in my opinion, a strategy for survival, but rather a reclaiming of our heritage as the centre of life of the town through a focus on the future," Mr. Webster said. Details of the BIA's activities over the past year will be outlined at the upcoming Annual Meeting which is slated to take place in March of 1990.

Hydro is also a generous donor to the Salvation Army and other worthy charities and causes. Hydro is committed committed to proving to the community that it is a caring and practical institution as well as a necessary one. "It has been a tough year not only politically, but the community has to accept the fact the Darlington is now an operating station." says Ms Stick- ley. "The community was ready to accept accept Hydro the last 12 years or so when it (Darlington) was under construction construction and 5000 workers were putting putting money into the community. There are still 1000 construction workers on site, but we are ready to become operational operational and the community is upset. They have had 15 years to get used to the Bruce station and 25 to get used to Pickering, now they have to get used to us." explains Ms Stickley. There are also the lingering images of the disasters of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl to be overcome and addressed addressed by Hydro. "Our CANDU reactor reactor is the best in the world and very safe. It would take up to four hours after after an accident for even a small radioactive radioactive gas leak to enter the atmosphere." atmosphere." the Hydro spokesperson assures us. But, in the minds of the community, there is still that on e-in-a- million chance that something might happen, and the issuing of potassium iodide pills to the schools, doesn't help to allay these fears. The Atomic Energy Control Board has given Darlington a licence to produce produce 1 per cent ol its generating capacity capacity this past year. As for the future, we now know that Ontario Hydro is hoping to build three new nuclear stations in the next 25 years. Darlington has been chosen as one of the probable sites. This increase in activity in the Town of Newcastle will bring its own problems with it. Suzanne Stickley is optimistic about Hydro's future in the Town of Newcastle. She says, 'The 25-year plan is a big challenge. It is good that we have the confidence of the A.E.C.B. to operate. Now, we must get the confidence confidence of the Town." Hydro will be facing a review under the Environmental Protection Act in 1990 regarding to a possible expansion in each of the communities pinpointed for future development of generating stations. With all this in mind, Ms Stickley says _ that she looks forward to reopening reopening the lines of communication between between Darlington and the community and gaining its confidence in Hydro's ability to operate safely. Newcastle Mayor Marie Hubbard also hopes that 1990 will see a lessening lessening in. tensions between the Town of Newcastle and the Darlington Generating Generating Station when dialogue between both parties resumes. "We must work together for Hydro to produce these opportunities for the future," states Mayor Hubbard. For the consumer, the sooner Hydro can start up, the better. According to Ms. Stickley, Ontario Hydro data proves that every month Darlington waits to go into full production costs the taxpayer $20 million. Ms Stickley sees the 1990's as a "beginning "beginning of a whole new era for Hydro. It's a new and exciting beginning, she says. grieve for the loss of a loved one.
