8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, August 28, 1991 Section Two Catarina is very happy too. It's hard for her to explain, but her new home is more comfortable than her old house. It's a happy house. That's because the R-20.00 home represents an advanced standard of new home construction, one that is supported by the housing industry, Ontario Hydro, manufacturers and the provincial and federal governments. Why is an R-2000 home more comfortable and energy efficient? R-2000 homes are constructed with a greater attention to detail. They are much more than just extra insulation. In addition to being carefully designed to improve energy the better-built home efficiency, the home R-2000 EXCELLENCE is sealed using a continuous air barrier to reduce drafts and unwanted air leakage. This prevents warm, moist air from being carried into the walls and attic where it can condense and cause rot. The result, a home that is comfortable and energy efficient. A $2,000 incentive. Quite simply, the R-2000 home is a better-built home. In fact, because of its energy efficiency, Ontario Hydro offers a $2,000 incentive to purchasers in areas where natural gas service is unavailable. Individually inspected and certified. Look for the R-2000 Excellence symbol. Each R-2000 home is built by a certified R-2000 builder and tested to ensure it meets strict energy efficiency efficiency and ventilation standards. "It's a more comfortable home to live in.

Appointments of other Task Force members members are expected to be announced announced by autumn. During these remaining phases, "volunteer" communities, communities, which are communities communities willing to consider hosting hosting the facility, will explore the technical, environmental and social impacts of receiving receiving the wastes. The "source" communities, where the wastes are currently located, will focus their attention on the environmental impacts of removing the wastes. "Joint decision-making between the various levels of government and the public is proving to be an excellent method for solving environmental environmental problems," Epp said. In a letter to the Mayors of the participating communities, communities, Mr. Epp noted that the process provides an excellent excellent model of how to manage environmental matters more effectively. Meanwhile, operational planning for Phase four of the process will begin immediately immediately in all six participating participating communities - the volunteer volunteer communities of Geraldton, Homepayne, Deep River, and the source communities of Port Hope, Hope Township and Newcastle.

Particularly in the last six months I have discussed discussed this matter on numerous numerous occasions with the Minister of Energy and his officials. I said last month that I expected this announcement would be made soon, and it has. One major concern was selection of the best possible person to head the Task Force, and Phase IV will now, proceed with a highly More Than 350 Children Dig Into 140 Foot Long Sundae It was the invasion of the 140-foot-long sundae last Friday at the Vacation Bible School at Bowmanville's Liberty Pentecostal Church. A total of 350 youngsters feasted on an enormous sundae that used 100 boxes of ice cream to make. All that was left was an empty container container and some well-licked spoons. Just a few of the participants are shown here as the dig in for their snack.

My expectation expectation is that the other members will be in place and the Task Force in operation operation this autumn. It's significant that this is an open, cooperative process under which local residents and municipal councils have a full opportunity to be involved involved with technical experts. experts. It was initiated as result result of a commitment made by the present federal government government during the 1984 election and which is being followed through to its conclusion. conclusion. This was the first government ever to accept such responsibility for these wastes. I'm pleased to have a part in this process which, it should be noted, has international international as well as local significance. significance. Some other countries countries with similar waste problems are monitoring what is happening here in the belief that it may serve as a guide for them. It is a lengthy, complex and expensive expensive process, but I'm hopeful it will lead to the best possible possible conclusion for everyone concerned. Proposals for Bus Service Not Needed By Ministry Of Transport The Ontario Ministry of Transportation has withdrawn withdrawn its request for proposals proposals to provide a commuter bus service in the Peterbo- rough-to-Whitby corridor. "The government remains remains committed to improving improving commuter service, not only in Peterborough and Durham Region, but across the province," said Transportation Transportation Minister Gilles Pouliot. "When we originally called for proposals from the bus industry, we felt that" a private sector partnership could provide a cost-effective service that would best meet this area's needs." The service proposals submitted, however, were more costly than preliminary preliminary industry data had indicated indicated and would have resulted resulted in a government subsidy of $1.9 million - almost four times the original estimate. In addition, municipal support support for the proposals was mixed. "The bus industry proposals proposals for a daily ridership of 225 return trips would result result in an average subsidy of $13.52 per ride, said Pouliot. Pouliot. "In the current fiscal climate, climate, that is more than the government can afford." Pouliot said the ministry has begun a complete review of transportation strategies "which will lead to efficient and cost-effective transportation transportation alternatives throughout throughout south-central Ontario.
