Reeve Woodyard said, "no one here can tell you there will be a Festival at Mosport or not." He furthered his re- marks by saying that Mosport had been approached and received a retainer for a festival but had returned the retainer. "Now I understand there is a lesser type of proposal", he said. .Mrs. Lane asked, "is it true, that tickets have been sold for a festival? ". At this point in the discus- sion, Mr. Kamin of Mosport, said,"We don't have an agree- ment for a festival". He further said, "This type of rumour is unfounded." Mrs. Marvin also of the Leskard area. stated, "I've had more than my share of trouble."

"Whether we can stop it-that is what we are going into this afternoon," stated the deputy-reeve. Reeve Woodyard also said that he had been informed by some that the trouble over the past race meet was greater than that at the Strawberry Festival a number of years ago. "I am getting conflicting reports", he said. Whether or not there is a festival there is concern over the races and the damage that is being done, he said.

Orono Weekly times, Wednesday, August 1.5th, 1973 HydroasksÎinput on Hope power plant Ontario Hydro has asked citizens of the local area, Hope Township, Clarke Township and Hamilton Township for their comments on the power generating plant to be con- structed at Wesleyville in Hope Township. A meeting was held in Canton on Tuesday for this purpose. Residents were asked to raise any questions they may have in this regard. Hydro intends to begin construction of the oil-fired plant at a cost of $573 million in 1974 on a 1568 acre site with a two mile frontage along the shores of Lake Ontario.' It will require some 1300 construction., workers and when the plant is completed in 1979 some 250 employees will be 'equired to operate and maintain the plant. A new interchange will be built at Morrish Church road at highway 401 to give access to the plant. A CNR spur line will also be completed into the plant. Although air quality in the area will be affected, say officials, "ground level con- centrations of pollutants will be maintained below the regulatory levels. "Under normal operating and atmospheric conditions, fuel oil with a, maximum sulphur content of 2.5 per cent will satisfy existing standards "Under adverse atmospher- ic conditions, weather inver- sions for example, lower sulphur fuels and operational controls will ensure that allowable levels are not ex- ceeded," officials promise. Under normal conditions, say officials, small tempera- ture changes in the lake will extend to a maximum of two miles. But they continue, these changes will have little influ- ence on fish spawning and will not act as a barrier to migration up the nearby streams. A cooling water discharge channel is planned and the lowering of ground water levels during construction may affect a marsh that now serves as a sanctuary for a variety of wildlife. Construction will eleiminate a marsh on the eastern side of the property. During plant construction. Hydro officials assure, "any oilspills from the storage tank will be contained by imper- vious dykes. Minor leakages and oil-contaminated water will be treated and the oil recovered." Under normal operations, noise from the plant should not exceed "normal background levels" and steam release valves will be shielded by silencers, according to Hydro officials. j happenings...
