8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, November 13,1991 Section Two For Your Information Heart Fund Needs Volunteers Little Things Mean Big Savings for Ontario Hydro Preliminary figures show Ontarians reduced their demand demand for electricity in the first nine months of 1991 by enough to meet the needs of a community the size of Sudbury- Sudbury- Total savings to the end of September arc estimated at 170 megawatts, somewhat higher than Sudbury's average peak demand. Tire largest savings have been in lighting, at 22 MW. Savings occur when Ontarians Ontarians replace a light-bulb, a motor, motor, or some other electrical device device with one that requires less electricity; or when they insulate, insulate, weatherstrip or take some other action that reduces electricity electricity demand. Customer action action is one of three main influences influences on demand, the other two being the weather and economic economic activity. "Hey neighbour' covers 40 products The "Hey Neighbour, Be A Power Saver" campaign was launched in September, as part of Ontario Hydro's continuing efforts to make it easy for people people to cut down on their use of electricity. Flyers announcing discounts discounts on 40 different energy- saving products for the home were distributed to more than 3.5 million homes. Discounts were available in more than 2,300 stores across Ontario, to the end of October. Hydro hopes customer participation participation in "Hey Neighbor" alone was high enough to shave two to three megawatts off demand. This would about equal the needs of a community community of 1,000 to 2,000. Consumption down slightly Electricity consumption in September was just over 10.4 million megawatt-hours, up 3.3% over September 1990. Total for the year to September 30 is just over 102 million MWHrs, about 0.2 per cent below below last year's total for the same period. More power from independents Independent power producers producers will generate a growing percentage of Ontario's electricity electricity during the 1990s. When Hydro announced its 25-year plan two years ago, the target for non-utility generation generation was 1,600 megawatts. That was increased to 2,100 last fall, and in September, Hydro Chair Marc Elicscn upped it to 3,100. Mr. Elicscn told a conference conference of independent generators that the environment in Ontario was "very positive" for non- utility generation, and that Hydro Hydro expects to sign 10 new "NUG" contracts, totalling 1,200 MW, by the end of this year. To put these totals in pcrsc- pcctivc, Ontario electricity de mand this year has ranged from 10,000 to 23,200 MW. 'Thanks, Hydro!' Ontario Hydro dispatched 90 powcrlinc maintainors to New England in August to help restore power after Hurri cane Bob. Below is the reaction reaction of one Rhode Island resident resident to their performance: "The whole neighbourhood is still engulfed in total amazement amazement at the expertise of those crews. They were courteous, they were thorough. They knew exactly what they had to do and how to do it. If there is ever a need to ask for help again, all of Broad Rock Road is hoping to sec those trucks from Ontario Hydro." M.P.P. Has Thoughts On Crime Prevention by Gord Mills MPP Durham East Last Friday, I was in Gra- venhurst to attend a Solicitor General's Crime Prevention Awards Luncheon. My role was to deliver the keynote speech on behalf of the Solicitor Solicitor General the Hon. Alan Pil- key, and to present awards to people who had made a commitment commitment to the improvement of the quality of life in the community community through crime prevention prevention initiatives. On the drive back to Orono, I began to think about all of the communities in Durham East, and what we and our neighbours neighbours could do for each other through crime prevention initiatives. initiatives. I said to myself, "What about Neighbourhood Watch?" Neighbourhood Watch benefits an entire community community through working together together to increase neighbourhood neighbourhood awareness. We can all watch out for suspicious characters, characters, note vehicle registrations registrations not know in the area - and most importantly of all - care for the frail and elderly. Community spirit is at the very heart of crime prevention, it helps to foster stronger community community links, with people working together and getting to know one another. It helps pull people from diverse backgrounds backgrounds in the pursuit of a common goal. Neighbourhood Watch can be for all of us a whole new way of life. We can, through membership, teach each other simple precautions precautions to beat the thief. I think all of us can stand some improvement improvement about the security measures in our homes. All ol these things makes for designing designing crime out of our communities. communities. I know some of you will say, "It can't happen to me." Some will say they pay taxes for police protection and expect expect it. Others will say, "I know there's a problem, but I can't do anything about it." How many will simply say, "I don't want to become involved?" involved?" I believe that involvement is the cornerstone for the foun- • dation of a community attitude that says, "We can prevent crime." How do you feel about the idea? Should we try to get something started? If you would like to be a partner, call my constituency office at our new Bowmanville number 697-1501. Let's get together and crack crime in our community. CLUES ACROSS I. Happen again (5) 5. Thick soup (5) 8. Nullify (5) 9. Tendency (5) 10. Sufficient (5) 11. Satire (5) 12.
