Scugog accountant Alex: Shepherd was clearly the choice of the people receiving 22,334 of the 60,289 in the riding 'which includes Scugog, Uxbridge, Clarington and northern por- tions of Oshawa and Whitby. Following in Mr. Shepherd's PORT PERRY, ONTARIO - TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1993 wake was Reform Party candi- date Ian Smyth with 18,600 votes and incumbent Progres- sive Conservative Ross Steven- son with 15,014 votes. Mr. Stevenson conceded vic- tory to the Liberal candidate at approximately 10 p.m. when he appeared at the Liberal's elec- tion headquarters in Bowman- ville. Although Mr. Shepherd won the riding by a fair number of votes, he cautiously took the re- sults of the election to heart. "I'm very cognizant of the fact that not all of the people in Dur- ham clearly voted for me," he said. "But I do intend to execute my plan with the feeling that I dom all of the people of the Durham Riding." Mr. Shepherd credited the success of the Liberal Party across the country to the fact. that the country was seeking change.

" Enza Cancilla, Stakeholder Relations Officer for Ontario Hydro, said Hydro is consider- ing a number of routes and loca- tions in the eastern portion of the GTA for its Greater Toronto Electricity Supply Study. Among the proposals is a 500- kilovolt (kV) transmission line running parallel to Lake Scu- The preliminary zones and corridors are found in the Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ux- bridge, and Scugog areas. Under the proposed study, Ontario Hydro is examining a number of options including a double-circuit 500 kV transmis- sion line across the top of the GTA, a 500/230 kV transformer in the northeast portion of the Fall back on Sunday Hey Blue Jays fans: You're finally going to be able to catch up on your sleep this weekend. Standard time will be ushered in at 2 am. on Sunday, Oct. 31. So before you go to bed Saturday night, remember to turn your clocks back one hour and enjoy that extra 60 minutes of sleep. Scugog: GTA, 230 kV lines connecting the new facilities into the exist- ing power supply system, and a new 230/44 kV transformer sta- tion and transmission lines to supply electricity to the Whitch- urch-Stouffville/Uxbridge area. The project is also looking at consolidating or rebuilding lines on existing rights-of-way in the study area, and the use of underground cable transmis- sion. According to Ms. Cancilla, Scugog is being considered for a number of phases of the project. One preferred route for the double-circuit 500 kV transmis- sion line for the top end of the GTA would run along either the west or east shore of Lake Scu- gog, before connecting with an- other system in Mount Alberti in the west. The study is also considering a parcel of land on the west side of Regional Road 23 at Regional Road 21 as the potential site for a 230/44 kV transformer station and transmission lines. This site is one of many sites being considered in the area. Ms. Cancilla said a number of factors will be taken into consid- eration in choosing the site. These include technical, social and environmental criteria. The Electricity Supply Study is in response to the demand for hydro power in growing areas of the GTA, said Mo. Cancilla. Hydro is currently conduct- ing environmental assessment studies to determine the most feasible options. Public forums have been held to gather input from the various communities.
