Time passes so quickly!

Over the past year, Ontario Hydro has can- celled or postponed a number of major gen- erating and transmission projects across the province. This was in response to a lower than expected demand for power, the result of the recession and the restructuring that has taken place in Ontario's economy over Nonetheless, there are areas of the province that are still growing, and none more so than the communities in the northern and eastern portions of the Greater Toronto Area son, former residents of Green- bank area, hired Art when he was a teenager to assist on the farm. Art has fond memories of the days back in the past with the Thomson family, and likes to call when in this area. Have missed the Nestleton friends very much while away recovering from a serious ill- ness...and appreciate the ladies writing thoughts and news for this column to help out. Will hope to be back again soon with you all! Why!, haven't even met our new minister Rev. David Shear- man and family of Nestleton United Church yet! Nestleton Presbyterian Church by Winnifred Davison On a rainy morning, the regu- lar service was in charge of Rev. Wm. Fairley, in Nestleton Pres- byterian Church. Joyce Taylor was the organist. Responsive Psalm was 99, and scripture readings were from Exodus 33, and St. Mat- thew 22. Rev. Fairley spoke on feelings as we approach the Lord's table for Communion, and we should sense that we are in His pres- ence. Our lives should follow the law of love which is ex- pressed by the sacrifice of our Lord. Holy Communion was dis- pensed by Rev. Fairley assisted by two elders - Dorothy Lee and Winnifred Davison.

Thanksgiving weekend is a period of family get togethers / BRADFORD NEW ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO WHITCHURCH-STOUFFVILLE / UXBRIDGE AREA A ------ Ontario Hydro is conducting an integrated electricity supply study to develop short, mid and long-term options to meet the region's electricity needs and identify locations for new facilities. The options under consideration include, but are not limited to, demand management, supply (including non-utility generation) by conventional or alterna- tive technologies, operational measures and transmission. For the transmission options of this study, Hydro will select alter- nate routes for transmission lines and sites for transformer stations for both the bulk (500 kilovolt) and regional (230 kilovolt) systems over the next few months. Proposals of this type are subject to the Environmental Assessment Act. The integrated study, including the route and site selection component, will b¢ documented in an Envi- ronmental Assessment and submitted to the Minister of the Environment and Energy for review at the end of 1994. This study is part of a larger proposal, the Greater Toronto Region Electricity Supply Study, to ensure a secure supply of electricity throughout the north of the Greater Toronto Area. Details of this proposal will be available at the Public What is Ontario Hydro Proposing? For the transmission options of this study, the selection of a suitable location for a new 230,000 volt (230 kV) transformer station to supply the Whitechurch-Stouffville / Uxbridge area and new 230 kV lines to connect the station to the existing electricity transmission system are required. These new facilities are necessary to maintain the reliable supply of electricity to customers in the Whitechurch- Stouffville / Uxbridge area and to meet future growth in electricity demand in the area.

Preliminary "corridors" for new transmission lines (areas where it might be possible to locate a new line) and "zones" (potential locations for a transformer station) have been iden- tified and are marked on the map. These zones and corridors will be presented at Public Information Centres at locations listed below, Public Involvement Public Involvement is an integral component of both the inte- grated electricity supply planning process and the environ- mental assessment process. Your views on this study are important and your comments welcome. Please plan to attend one of the Public Information Centres. Information Center Dates & Locations Monday Oct 18 Tuesday Oct 19 Wednesday Oct 20 Thursday Oct 21 Thursday Oct 28 Diagrams and maps will be available to help explain the details of the project, and project staff will be on hand to answer questions. All centres will be open from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm. For more information, please call GTR HOTLINE 506-5202 Ontario Hydro Let's give tomorrow a hand.

To the east and northeast of Port Perry, there are many lakes and also 7A then Highway 7 is a good route to Ottawa. Now, I ask you why the Dept. of Transport would choose that week prior to Thanksgiving to start repairs to the 7A causeways. We were travelling west that Friday at 4:30 p.m. and were tied up do- ing nothing but burning that depletable commodity, gaso- line, for 45 minutes. Couldn't turn around as they had to give the eastbound more preference and as it was, they were bump- er to bumper and lined up al- most to Manchester. I stopped and asked the woman OPP con- "stable at the plaza about get- ting an officer for point duty =t Analda Nursery's corner and direct them to Durham Road 19 (Shirley Road). She replied this is nothing to do with us, it's strictly the Dept. of Transport. Just look at a road map, the only eastbound bypass to the north is 23.7 km and to the south is 5 km. To all of us who were in that mess, I'm sure vou appreciate me letting off steam. Nestleton UCW by Barbara Weir The Nestleton UCW after- noon unit met Oct. 13 at the home of Bernice Mairs. Jean Williams chaired the meeting, welcoming everyone and open- ing with a Thanksgiving prayer. Neta Fish presented the de- votional assisted by various members.

Nestleton United Church Service Norm and Bernice Mairs were the friendly greeters on a rainy morning. The children's theme focused on the lack of' food some children of the world survive on.

Shearman's sermon illustrated the caring of God in times of sorrow through those who share in grief and those who help others in a time of need. "Go Now In Peace" was sung to close the service.
