"It's an anti-industrial policy policy that will cost us industry and jobs" said Michael Patrick, president of the Bowmanville Foundry. The Foundry is one of at least three industries to be affected by die new time of use rate policy expected to be implemented implemented by April '98. The time of use rate system system charges heaviest electricity electricity users more for power used during peak times, in particular particular the hours between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m., and offers cheaper cheaper rates in the off-peak period. According to a recommendation recommendation by CHEC manager Dave Clark, the Foundry could benefit from lower off- peak costs by introducing a third shift. But according to Patrick, spreading the foundry's 58- strong workforce over 24 hours has tremendous costs to employees and the company's bottom line. "We are a very labour intensive operation and to achieve savings we would have to re-negotiate a union ". l y I, .71,-' ■; y :/ j( a I! a contract which does not provide provide for continental shifts." Partner Dave Boothman pointed out that the midnight shift takes a huge toll on workers and their families. The foundry management also has concerns about productivity productivity reductions on a 3rd shift. Boothman added: "There's a huge gulf between the environment environment here and what our competitors enjoy in the States. Such policies make it hostile for us to exist." CHEC Chairman George Van Dyk argued that the CHEC can only buy power from Ontario Hydro, whereas in the US there are hundreds of suppliers available. He said the CHEC was among 40 utilities utilities in the province (including (including neighboring Oshawa) implementing the time of use policy. He stressed that in the interests of fairness, the policy policy must be the same for all customers with no exceptions. exceptions. To make an exception would mean that other Bowmanville customers would be subsidizing one customers' supply of power, Commissioner Pauline Storks pointed out. -- Clarington Mayor Diane Hamre, who sits on the commission, commission, said the commissioners commissioners must look at the bigger bigger picture, and not disregard the importance of attracting Anqlican Bishop From page 1 As she begins putting more of her thoughts towards the career move, Rev. Tottenham noted that she finds the next step "very daunting." "This is a very high profile profile job. There is more involvement in the community, community, and it is not easy stuff," she admitted. Will Miss Her Parish No matter where she goes, Ann and her two cats will be moving from the house on Stanford Crescent, where she has been for two years. And while she wonders about what she has gotten herself into, she's not looking forward to moving in September. "I will miss the area. I really enjoyed it here," she said. Since moving to Newcastle Village to take on the position as priest for the Parish of Clarke, Rev. Tottenham has been busy not only with St. Saviour's in Orono, and St. George's in Newcastle, but also with the Pastoral Services Committee at Memorial Hospital, the Ethics Committee at Strathaven Lifecare Centre, as an on-call Chaplain at Memorial Hospital and as a community member of the Newcastle Public School Parent Council. Site lias been involved with the East Clarington Ministerial Association and with the East Clarington Food Bank, too. In oilier words, "I have started to get to know it, and it is a great place to live," she said. Now, however, she will be giving up her positions as she begins packing, getting new clothes for the new position, position, and getting ready for Sept. 22 when she will be consecrated at St. James Cathedral in Toronto. and retaining businesses. "If one plant closes those workers workers will go on social assistance," assistance," Hamre said. ..Commissioner Paul Reesor suggested a possible solution might be found in "shoulder rates", which identify identify a narrower peak usage time. The commission agreed to look into the feasibility of introducing shoulder rates into its time of use policy and reserve decision until the issue was investigated. The move satisfied the foundry delegation. "I have no problem with time of use philosophy," Patrick said, "but we think the policy as it is now makes it very difficult for a labor intensive operation. We are willing to work around a narrower narrower peak but right now they've thrown a blanket over 16 hours of the day. How am I to operate?" Are you planning a family? Are you expecting a baby?
