Ontario Hydro to lease Wesley ville lands Ontario Hydro following a consulting's consulting's report will be leasing some of the lands formerly purchased for the Wesleyville Generating Station which was moth-balled in 1981. The report states that while non- serviced lands north of Lakeshore Road continue to be leased -the more desireable lands for leasing are the serviced lands south of the road. The Hydro report states that there are 40 acres of serviced land which will be leased as several separate parcels suitable for light manufacturing, storage and Office space. Some of the buildings on the site could also be leased. This would happen after 1989 when they are not expected to be needed for the Darlington station. * Ontario expects to start in When 1 think of Peterborough, tjre first thing that pops into my mind is the big clock atop the old Market Hall on main street. After that, I think of the Otono- bee River, the Kawartha Lakes, the. lift locks, and my old buddy Harry Oakman, the legendary aerial photographer. But in recent years I've added something else. It's a pl^ce called Artspace, a futuristic art gallery that's run by. a tall, young bearded dynamp named David Bierk. * David is a colourful personality. He's a rare combination of artist, entrepreneur, dreamer and businessman. businessman. He got the idea for Artspace during during the mid-70's and started a small gallery in a former Boy Scout building. building. In his first year he put on a series of exhibitions that took the district by storm. But Bierk's dream went far beyond just running a successful art . gallery. He wanted something that would encompass all phases of the arts, including theatre and video ■ production facilities. He needed plenty of space and the old Market Hall, a Victorian building building linked to a modern shopping mall, was just the thing. Marathon Realty, which owns the .building, was impressed by Bierk's ideas and enthusiasm. They agreed 40 rent him an upper floor of the building -- 9,000 square feet -- if he would restore it. To show what he had in mind, David constructed a wooden model almost as big as himself of his plans. He lugged it around showing . it to people in high places, and managed managed to get enough money to start the project. The last time 1 was there it was almost completed, and! •found it a spectacular place! There's a theatre that seats 250, two art galleries, a video production facility including an editing room, a recording studio and a direct link with TV and FM radio for live broadcasts. It's all beautifully constructed because, because, says David, "The people who came to work for us learned on the job (they were employed before), before), and a spirit of craftsmanship and pride developed," Bierk and his board ran into a few' roadblocks along the way. Some people regarded the whole < idea as foolhardy, but eventually they too were won over as Peterborough Peterborough took Artspace to its heart. These days over 40,000 people a yeari visit the complex to attend shows and events in David Bierk's dieam come true. November an active promotion for leasing. Hydro will consider leases up to 10 years duration. The Wesleyville p-lant was cancelled in 1981 due to the cost of oil and lower-than-forecast electricity electricity growth. More than 50 people now work at Wesleyville in maintenance, storage and security. .
