Richards An organizer who has called the Town of Newcastle looking for information information on holding a massive three- day concert at Mosport will need to adhere to town by-laws to get his project project off the ground, says Newcastle's mayor. The concert, which has been billed as "Woodstock II." would take place this summer. "We've had an individual call to say he is negotiating with Mosport to hold this concert," said Mayor Diane Hamre. Town Council has not yet been officially officially advised that the concert is being being planned. The music industry magazine, RPM, published on Jan. 16, says: Peter Peter Barrowclyffe, the President of Woodstock Entertainment '93, "has come up with the bold concept of a Woodstock II super concert to be staged on a 720-acre site at Mosport, Ontario."

Goodyear Cassette Spool Heading for Bulgaria Goodyear Bowmanville plant employee Barry Pelham cuts through one of the edges of this "cassette spool" to make way for a bolt to fit the spool to a connecting brace. The idea of shipping the conveyor belts in adjacent spools resembling tape cassettes was developed by the plant's field specialists for a special order from the Ellatsite Copper Mine in Bulgaria. The two-spool cassette contains an 885 metre long conveyor belt, but does not exceed the height specifications of the Bulgarian buyer. Once the braces are attached, this cassette and 15 others will be sent to Bulgaria. The plant received the order, valued at $2.6 million, for 16 cassettes in late November 1992. It should complete the order by the end of February. -- Photo by Laura Richards "Zi/ee&ettcCen .
