The Lucknow Sentinel, 2016-08-03, Page 5Wednesday, August 3, 2016 • Lucknow Sentinel 5 Bruce Power completes Unit 3 reactor planned outage Bruce Power's Unit 3 was reconnected to Ontario's elec- tricity grid on July 29 marking the end of the planned main- tenance outage. "The successful return of Unit 3 provides Ontario fami- lies and businesses with 780 megawatts of safe, clean, reli- able, low-cost nuclear energy in time for the Civic Holiday weekend," said Len Clewett, chief nuclear officer. "During these hot summer months, when air conditioners are running on high, Bruce Power reliably provides over 30 per cent of Ontario's electricity at 30 per cent less than the aver- age residential price of power." During planned outages at Bruce Power, the company completes a range of work including inspection activi- ties, maintenance and targeted investments to deliver safe, reliable opera- tions and to meet the com- pany's role in Ontario's Long -Term Energy Plan. Weptler passionate about raising BlackHorse recaps Men's Night awareness of tulip tree in Lucknow and 'The Legends' Invitational CONTINUED FROM > PAGE 1 Weptler's attitude towards her tree is part of a larger trend towards a new movement called green infrastructure, which aims to solve climate change through incorporating and embracing trees, bush and the like in urban settings. Green infrastructure is the opposite of what is called grey infrastructure, which includes buildings, streets and industrial areas. However, Ellis says munic- ipalities are moving away from grey infrastructure with several in Ontario having adopted green infrastructure initiatives. "The days of cavalierly chopping down a tree just because you don't think it has value, for me anyway, are over. We need to recog- nize that the trees we have took a long time to get there," she said. Which is a good thing, she said, as it's getting harder and harder for new trees to take root and grow due to a lack of water which has caused the recent ban on open fires in both Kincar- dine and Huron -Kinloss municipalities. Her organization should be planting, she said, but they aren't because it's too dry out. "It's really important that we save the trees we got," she said, making necessary peo- ple like Weptler who have this enthusiasm for urban greenery. "She's helping to raise the profile of the urban forest in Lucknow, and if she influ- ences a few people to say, 'wow, we never really thought about this before,' this is great. So I say, good for her," she said. McLaven, from Forest Ontario, said it's people such as Weptler who encourage municipalities to make the change from grey to green infrastructure. "It is very important to have people who are pas- sionate about trees because it tends to drive the emo- tions among other people," she said. "We have places all over the province that have no tree cutting bylaws that will help to protect some of these significant trees." It is their passion for trees that get the ball rolling on making tangible change in our communities, she said. "From somebody who's trying to build community awareness about the value of trees, that's pretty impres- sive," she said.
