Orono slammed one home to tie it with one and-a-half minutes minutes left in the. game. The puck was passed up from Scott Henderson to Ryan Knox who let one rip but Matt Bester was in place for the rebound sending sending it home. Country Cafe was invited up to Millbrook for an exhibition exhibition game on Sunday. With Orono somewhat behind in the scoring department, Millbrook noticed it looked as though they hadn't seen a lot of ice lately. That and the fact that the periods were 20 minutes each, by the end of the third-- (with no flood), the cafe crew were desperately running out of steam.

Joe Whibbs Mike Langlois Board Chairperson , Director of Education And lhe> Ug|H I Last fall, wc 1 : about i an aerial survey that was taking place in the east end of : Toronto and southern portions of Pickering, Ajax, - Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington. Using a specially- , equipped helicopter, we checked for gamma radiation in a ten-kilometre radius beyond the boundaries of Darlington and Pickering Nuclear. The survey was commissioned at the request of the Pickering Community Working Group and a community based Environment Advisory Council. The survey was intended to confirm that no gamma radiation has been introduce^ into the surrounding areas by operations from our plants. Survey results showed no unexpected sources of man-made gamma radiation beyond the station's boundaries. As expected, potassium, uranium and thorium, which are natural emitters of gamma rays, were found throughout the surveyed area. They are within the normal values for Ontario, as reported by the Geological Survey of Canada. In short, we believe ; that there is no reason to.be concerned about gamma ray contamination due to the operation of either the Pickering or Darlington nucleafr stations. If you have any questions, please contact Ross Fitchett at Pickering Nuclear (905) 839-1151 ext. 2154 or Phil LeSauvage at Darlington Nuclear (905) 623-6670 ext. 3009. ONTARIO GENERATION
