Ontario supporting energy efficiency
TORONTO - Ontarians responded
positively to energy efficiency pro-
grams in 1990 and save enough
electricity last year to serve a town
the.size of Oshawa, according to
Ontario Hydro's 1990 annual re-
port.
"This is a positive start," said
Robert Franklin, Hydro's President
and Chief Executive Officer in re-
leasing the report. "it's a good indi-
cation of the electricity savings that
can be made by working together."
"The benefits of energy efficiency
and conservation are substantial. "
he added. "Using less electricity
helps reduce customers' energy
costs and helps protect the environ-
ment."
Hydro invested over $100 million
in energy efficiency programs in
1990 and will spend $3 billion by
the year 2000 to achieve its overall
energy reduction goals.
The report shows that business
and industry as well as residential
consumers are responding to Hy-
dro's energy efficiency initiatives.
Consumers bought over 700,000
energy efficient products during spe-
cial promotions or Hydro rebate
programs. Almost 1500 businesses
changed to energy efficient lighting
systems and industry installed over
100,000 horsepower of high effi-
ciency motors.
The review of financial operations
indicates a year of substantial cost
increases and reduced•power demand.
Milder weather and the recession
combined to produce a net reduction
in provincial electricity demand for
•
only the third time in Ontario's his-
tory. Demand fell by 2.9 percent to
136.7 million megawatt -hours from
the 1989 total.
Nuclear power supplied 43 per-
cent of provincial power require-
ments, coal and oil supplied 20 per-
cent, hydraulic 27 percent and
imports and other purchases provid-
ed the remaining 10 percent.
Total revenues in 1990 were $6.5
billion, an increase of $138 million
friom 1989.
Excellent quality paintings at
Conservation dinner auction
The quality of the art work to be
auctioned at the second annual Aus-
able Bayfield Conservation dinner is
being described as excellent by din-
ner officials.
The headline artist will again be
Tammy Laye. She has been com-
missioned to prepare the feature art
piece and it will feature a kingfish-
er.
More than a dozen artists from
Ontario and the United States are
contributing some of their master-
pieces and. most are limited edi-
tions.
Tammy Laye began painting
eight years after she graduated from
the University of Western Ontario
and was almost immediately asked
to do a collector plate series for At-
lantis Art.
She went on to win numerous art
awards across North America. These
include "Best Display" for her first
appearance, The National Wildlife
Show in Kansas City, a merit award
at the Chicago International Art
Show, "Best Original" at the Cana-
dian Wildlife Conservation Show
and a two-time winner of the Peo-
ple's Choice Award in Lambeth.
Her versatility and ability to paint
any subject with equal skill has
made her a very popular commis-
sion artist for many companies and
private collectors.
Her work is best described as
country realism and usually reflects
a happy and contented side of life.
Children and animals are her main
subjects.
Although she has participated in
numerous shows, she currently sells
much of her work from her studio
in Lambeth.
Another area artist participating in
the April 25 dinner and auction at
the South Huron Rec Centre in Ex-
eter is Renee Knight of RR 6 St.
Marys.
Renee Knight received a degree in
Fine Arts from the University of
Western Ontario. In July of this
year, she will be showing her works
at Ingersoll's Creative Arts Council.
Presently, she works from her stu-
dio overlooking Southwestern Onta-
rio. She says, "In this fast -paced
world, I find myself increasingly
drawn to the peaceful harmony of-
fered by nature. Renee has recently
introduced three new limited edition
prints. They are, the Hairy Wood-
pecker, Red -winged Blackbird and
Wildwood.
Also from St. Marys is Mark
Fletcher. He is a professional com-
missioned artist with an work that
reflects his experiences on the prair-
ies and in Eastern Canada.
The fourth Western Ontario artist
is William Johnston of London. He
attended OCA on a scholarship,
where he obtained academic qualifi-
cations
ualif -cations to teach secondary school art
until resigning in 1971 to paint full
time.
Known for outstanding portrait
painting, he was sent as a war artist
to Cyprus in 1975, and 1977. dur-
in* which time he completed 39
paintings, seven of which are now
in the permanent collection of the
National War Museum in Ottawa.
In 1983, Bill Johnston spent three
weeks in the Norwegian Arctic on a
NATIO exercise recording in draw-
ings and watercolours, the work of
the Royal Canadian Regiment.
For several years, he has designed
murals and abstract monoprints and
serigraphs which are displayea tit
many international corporate collec-
tions.
Renowned Canadian artist Mi-
chael Dumas is also a participant in
the upcoming dinner art auction.
Michael Dtunas, the man, enjoys
a reputation of being quiet, sincere
and diligent, with an unbridled love
and appreciation for the wildlife of
this country.
His name and his art are are sy-
nonymous with conservation; so
mulch that he recently become the
only artist in Canada to ever earn
the Professional Conservationist of
the Year award presented by Carling
O'Keefe Breweries.
His reputation as a gifted artist
spans this continent and beyond.
His watercolour portrayals of Cana-
da's wildlife in real -to- life settings
have delighted millions.
Through the donation of his art
and numerous public appearances,
Dumas has been instrumental in
raising over five million dollars for
conservation projects from coast to
coast.
Two of the next artists come
from the state of Pennsylvania.
they are Ray Hendershot and Peter
Keating.
Ray endershot is a painter of
textures. He has travelled the coun-
tryside of his native Pennsylvania
for more than 30 years, searching
for suitable subjects for his realistic
watercolours.
Although he selects barns and
farmhouses, wagons and mills, the
fence rows and fields of the area,
his true subjects have been their
surfaces, weather beaten wood and
quarried stone, cracking plaster and
rusty metal.
He uses a limited palette, predo-
mininanuy mutes eartn tones.
Gradually he builds his textures in
alternating layers of wash and dry
brush, creating a surface depth that
enriches the painting.
Peter Keating, a versatile painter
of American landscapes, with very
successful shows already to his
credit, is known for his sensitive
pastoral scenes. His pen and ink
drawings and dramatic oil paintings
are all sophisticated compositions.
He descnbes them as "illustrated
landscapes."
One works of Cornelius Kriegh-
off will be on sale at the upcoming
auction.
Krieghoff is famous for his paint-
ings from the mid 1880's. He lived
in a French-Canadian cottage near
the Plains of Abraham until 1864
when he left Canada to journey
around Europe.
He shares with Paul Kane the dis-
tinction of being the first profes-
sional artist to make a livelihood
by painting Canadian pictures. His
recording of life in French Canada
invests his paintings with their
main charm today.
Also available will be original
watercolours on silk.
The first paintings on silk date
back to the third century B.C. and
by the Tang Dynasty had become
the pre-eminent medium for paint-
ing.
Also up for auction will be sever-
al photographs taken by former Ex-
eter resident John Dobbs. His phot -
ors win prizes each year at Western
Fair.
The 1991 conservation dinner is
being sponsored jointly by the
Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Foundation and the Exeter Lions
Club.

LET THE HEART SPEAK
Consolation. It's such as easy word, yet when it Domes to consoling
someone who has lost a loved one, many people find It difficult to ex-
press themselves. Here are some suggestions:
1. Don't worry about what to say. Just speak from the heart. Some-
times touching or hugging Is more comforting than mere words.
2. Don't worry about what to bring. Bring yourself, and give of yourself,
your time, your listening oar.
3. Be there later on, after the Initial rush of visitors has passed. Birth-
days, anniversaries and holidays are hard times to be alone.
4. N there are children in the family, listen to them, and don't hide your
tears. Ask each child if he or she wants to attend the funeral, and ac-
cept each answer as right for that child.
5. Don't stay away. Even If you're afraid you'll say all the wrong things,
even if you're too upset to say anything. Grieving people remember
your presence and your touch, not your words. Just by being there,
you can help them through their pain and help them to accept their
loss.
