Concerned Residents From page one The ratepayers' group would like to see the municipality municipality take a stand against Mosport's idea that camping is an accessory use of the parks facilities. "I don't buy it. An accessory accessory use would be a refreshment stand or camping for the pit crews," Taylor said. What really gets to local residents residents is that "die municipality believes camping is an accessory accessory use," Taylor noted. "Mosport is not zoned for camping," Taylor said. He explained that a 1970 Ontario Municipal Board ruling did not include camping among the permitted uses at Mosport.. "I wish the municipality would stand up to Mosport on this issue," he remarked. The idea of 50,000 to 60,000 people camping at Mosport is not the only issue which concerns neighbours. Noise is another one. Last weekend the municipality municipality paid to have sound-monitoring sound-monitoring levels taken throughout the concert on Saturday night, Taylor said. Sound level monitoring monitoring was also done at a concert concert at Mosport last year. From the monitoring, it is expected a decibel level will be set and the summer concert will have to meet that level of sound volume, Taylor said. He also noted that the sound level for a huge concert will be different from a sound level for the smaller ones that have been taking place at Mosport. Residents say dial as the sound goes up, the property owners in the northern area of Clarington are watching their land values go down. Another bone of contention is that the residents don't believe that there will be enough security on Mosport's property or outside of it. Butterfield explained, "At Strawberry Fields in 1970, the OPP pulled every officer they had, and afterwards they said they didn't have enough." Butterfield added he got that figure and information from a • Toronto Star article after the concert. Butterfield said the concert being promoted for this summer summer will "be as big as Strawberry Fields." What he says he doesn't understand, is that if the police have the power to say no to it, why don't they do that if, the number of needed officers is not available to them. "They have the power to say no to the concert if they feel they don't have the resources to cover the concert," Butterfield said. Other issues brought up at the meeting included: trespassers, trespassers, parking,, restrictions and inquiries from a real estate agent who has been inviting Mosport neighbours to sell their properties. Unbelievable Lottery Win A self-employed accountant from Oshawa is the latest big lottery winner from Durham. Peter Pcnak, age 56, won $250,000 in the 6/49 Encore draw on Wednesday, May 22. °I didn't sleep at all," he said after learning he'd won. "My wife wouldn't believe me." Mr. Pcnak plays Encore every draw. He has two children and plans to invest his money. The ticket was purchased in Scarborough. New Diagnostic Equipment for Oshawa General Hospital A $300,000 pledge from the Kinsmen Club of Oshawa brings the Oshawa General Hospital closer to its goal of purchasing purchasing a Magnetic Resonance Imaging unit (MR1). "Service clubs, businesses, charitable foundations, and patients their families and neighbors have already contributed contributed to the "Keeping the Pace" campaign annual fund," said the campaign chairman Don Blight. On May 27, the Ministry of Health confirmed Oshawa General as the site for the MRI unit. The MRI is considered to be one of the most technically advanced and sophisticated pieces of medical diagnostic equipment available. Dr. Robin Davies, Chief of Staff, said: "the MRI will broaden our range of services and provide valuable accurate and timely information for our physicians and our patients." The big attraction at the Courtice Carnival for the kids was, of course, the rides. And the car ride above, with two steering wheels, was perfect for kids who like to be in the driver's scat. Kids who hopped aboard the electric all-terrain vehicles vehicles at the Courtice Carnival last weekend bumped into the odd traffic pile-up rounding the pylons but that only added a touch of reality to the course.
