6 T"e Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, Januarv 14. 1476 Section Two il ppliesStall To Any Road Closings, Cross ing Upgradings Newcastle Council Jan. 5 concurreci wicn a recommen- dation of the Public Works Committee to request that until the town's plannin process is com pleted, ail proposed road closings and upgrading of lev.el crossings within the town be held in abeyance. Coun. Kirk Entwisle briefly questioned the resolution but was advised by Coun. Ken Lyall that the resolution is basically a means of stalling, a practice not unusual to Newcastle council, until it is determined which way deve- lopment is going to go. The accepted recommenda- tion of the Works Committee will now go forward as a request to Secretary of the Ralway Transport Commit- tee, Mr. J. d'Avignon. The action was felt neces- sary on Lne basis that the Regional Planning and Dev- lopment Commission are cur- rently reparing the official plan o fthe Region and the town's Planning Advisory Committee is considering a comprehensive restricted area by-law. The railway have apparent- ly been proposing to close a number of crossings. OBITUARY EVERETT JOHN FICE Evertt John (Buckey) Fice died suddenly at the family residence, 148 Centre St. N., on Tuesday, Dec. 30, 1975. A son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fice, he was born August 28, 1897, at Tyrone, Ontario, -and was a resident of Oshawa for most of his, life. Mr. Fire red from the General Motors of Canada truck éhassis north plant in 1960. He was a member of UAWA, Local 222, a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 43, a member of Orange Lodge, number 399, Purple Hill, and a veteran of the irst World War. Mr. Fice is survived by his wife, the former Ina Hobbs Henry. He was predeceased by Doug Moffatt, M.P.P. By Doug Moffatt, MPP Durham East As most people in Durham East are aware, Ontario Hydro is preparing to build what will be the world's largest Nuclear Generating Station when it is completed in 1384 or 85. The proposed development will be situated just west of Bowmanville on 1,000 acres of land owned by Ontario Hydro on the shores of Lake Ontario. As a result of this proposed development, members of the Coun- cil of the Town of Newcastle and myself attended a special meeting with representatives of Ontario Hydro and the Town of Port Elgin, in Port Elgin, site of the Bruce Generating Station. The purpose of the meeting was to enable us to find out more about the Darlington Station and at the same time have an opportunity to discuss with the representatives of Port Elgin the problems and developments that had occurred in their area while the Bruce Station was being built. A number of points were raised at this meeting, and as a result I later tabled questions in the House to all the Ministers. I asked them whether their Ministry would be involved in studies of the Darlington Generating Station, and to what degree would the development affect their Ministry. Unfortunately, the Government chose not to answer the questions I asked and only selected Ministries will be commenting on the environmental aspects of the Darlington Study as prepared by Ontario Hydro. What I wanted, and what the Town of Newcastle wanted, was a fairly comprehensive study of the total effects of the station on the entire community. As things stand now, only the environmental assessment report of Ontario Hydro will be reviewed by the following Ministries: Ministry of Energy; Natural Resources; In- dustry & Tourism; Environment; Health; Agriculture & Food; Hous- ing; Treasury; Economics & Inter- governpintal Affairs; Labour and the Resources Development Secre- tariat. It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and the Ministry of Education will not be examining this project. It seems to me to be very important that these two Ministries be added to the list. The road systems in the area will need to be updated to handle traffic, which will increase during construction and remain heavier once the plant is staffed. There is a definite need for a great deal more, information before the Town of Newcastle or the Region of Durham or the elected represen- tative of any Government either give a go ahead or say that at this time they don't think the Darlington Station is needed. It is my contention that we shouid noti make decisions of this magnitude without having all of the facts at our disposal. It seems to me that Ontario Hydro is being a little bit reluctant in this case. At times Hydro talks as if they want to give out all the information so that informed citizenry can make a decision, and in the next instance they attempt to give us only part of the story. I am sure that you will agree with me when I say that until Hydro and the Ontario Government are prepared to divulge all the facts about the proposed station, the people in the Town of Newcastle and the Region of Durham are being asked to buy a "pig in a poke." If we are to benefit from this particular proposaliwe need to know exàctly what the cost to the community will be. There are many advantages to the installation. A good numbet of jobs will be created - but there are tremendous draw- backs to it as well. Disposal of the heated water from the nuclear station into Lake Ontario poses severe problems for the environ- ment. And at this time Ontario Hydro does not have a suitable method of disposing of waste nuclear products. This aspect of the station must be dicussed as honestly and accurately as possible. If you have views on the project I hope that you will drop me a hne at Queen's Park and let me know how you feel. And here's another phone number you may wish to clip. ZENITH 33220 is a direct toll-free line to the Ministry of the Environment so that you can report pollution as soon as it occurs. The Ministry advises that it is important to call immediately so that an officer can check out your report before the pollution dissi- pates, as is often the case. u. The Japanese group had aiready struck camp before the Canadians were ready to leave and the Scouts from that country had done a fine job of cleaning up. The Jamboree ended on August loth and the local Lillihamer paper published an editorial in English bidding farewell to their 17,000 guests. According to Mr. Hartwell, 1979 will be the year of the next international Jamboree. That event will be held in Iran and will be a co-ed venture.

Mr. Hartwell, who holds a long record of service in Scouting and is presently an Akela with the 7th Bowman- ville Cub Pack, accompanied the Canadian contingent ta the World Jamboree which began in mid-July. According to'Mr. Hartwell, the experience was very, worth-while on the whole, though he did have a few word of advice to those who screen the applicants for future international events. Generally speaking, the Canadian Scouts were well, represented and displayed good discipline, though a few o of the members were too immature to appreciate the opportunity, Mr. Hartwell said. The minimum age for the participants was 14, and at that age a few of the boys simply weren't ready to cope with the responsibilîties. Mr. Hartwell did add that the two Scouts who were chosen from Bowmanville were excellent choices. Prior to departure, the Scouts who had been selected to attend the Jamboree from Bowmanville, Cobourg, Peter- by his first wife, Leta Gilbert, four daughters: Mrs. Percy Beirness (Marion), Mrs. Gary Winton (Louis), Mrs. Ray Fowler (Elva), Mrs. Gordon Brown (Elsie, ail of Oshawa, and seven sons: Wilmer,, Stanlev.

For example, if some of Canadian boys wanted to go on a hike, the computer would inform them if the group was fully booked or not. The official languages of the Jamboree were English and French so communication was no barrier to the Canadian Scouts.
