And even with the back-up systems in place to perform the operation should the computer fail, •the system has never been in use before before and must be perfect." •! The safety system was the brainchild brainchild of " Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, Ontario Hydro and several independent consultants. There has never been a failure of iis particular system, but, Ms. Stick- èy admits that, "they may not be eady to licence and (may) require One more tests to be done and results to be evaluated." The Town of Newcastle has asked the five-member board to refuse Darlington Darlington a licence until the municipality has ironed out details pertaining to fire protection and emergency planning. planning. The board's staffhas a presentation to make at the meeting and they are expected to recommend that a licence to operate be denied at this time.

A report from the commissioner commissioner of works with Durham Region, Bill Twel- vetrees, stated that demand in the Pickering/Ajax/ Whitby and Oshawa area exceeded 50 million gallons on July 25, a jump from the previous high record set in 1988 when water production was recorded at 45.8 million gallons. The commissioner reported reported that the region's water supply systems are stressed every summer in this area but stated that the situation was further strained by the 6 per cent increase of water customers in the past year. Mr. Twelvetrees reported that water restrictions or conservation measures didn't have to be implemented implemented even though there were a few instances where low water water pressure was reported. This was not the case in the northern sections of Durham, however. "The prolonged period of dry weather which occurred during the entire month of July and the resulting high peak hour water demands caused levels in the Quaker Hill Reservoir in Uxbridge to drop to alarmingly low levels," the report said. Residents in Uxbridge were asked to alternate days on which they watered their lawn. Similar conditions were imposed in Cannington and Brock Township. The only area where the water shortage was a prob lem was Greenbank in Scu- gog Township where on July 26 and 27 the lead well went dry. Roughly 50,000 gallons was put into a reservoir and all non-essential water use was banned. Commissioner Twelve- trees wrote that the dry weather in previous years has apparently caused the lowering of the ground water water table in several northern communities and its long term effect is currently being being studied. OMB Hearings Begin Newcastle Council has decided there is justification in creating a "Bickle Street" in the municipality and councillors are planning to seek approval for the name from the Region of Durham. A Newcastle planning report report explains that before a municipality within Durham names a street it must first be co-ordinated and approved approved by the Durham Region. Region. The report states that this is to avoid duplication of street names in the Region. Region. Councillor Ken Hooper said: "I'm getting a little sick of this nonsense when we want to name a street." At the present time, "Bickle Drive" is in use in the City of Oshawa. Council has decided to ask the Region to permit "Bickle Street" or something other than "drive" as a name in the Town of Newcastle, regardless of the region's existing existing policy. "I don't think for a thing like this we have to go outside outside the municipality to get permission from another municipality," Councillor Hooper concluded. Newcastle Council has decided to waive the town's building permit fees charged to the Newcastle Lions Club. This will represent a contribution contribution by the municipality to the Lions' renovation project. project. Councillor Frank Staple- ton explained that the Lions Club meets in the basement of the Newcastle Town Hall in Newcastle Village. He said the club is "in? vesting major monies in re; vamping the basement area of the hall." One of the renovations renovations includes building a wheelchair ramp. Councillor Stapleton suggested suggested the town contribute to the cost of the renovations by waiving the building per-, mit costs.

The mural is on a wall 96 feet long by 26 feet high and features a conductor and various other musicians.
