Ontario Environmental screening Process for Electricity Projects
Wind Energy Facility near Goderich, Ontario
Twenty Two Degree Energy
Corp. (Twenty Two Degree) is
planning to undertake an
Environmental Screening for a
proposed wind energy facility
(wind farm) near Oodericb,
Ontario. If approved, this wind
firm would consist of
approximately 133 wind turbines
(capacity of approximately 200
MW), located south of the Town
of Oodericb. The project area is
generally bounded by Lake Huron
to the west, Highway 8 and Fish
and Game Line to the east, the
Bayfield River to the south, and
the Town of Ooderich to the north
(see map)., The project is subject
to the Ministry of the •
Environment's Environmental
Screening Process for electricity
projects set out in its "Guide to
Environmental Assessment
Requirements for Electricity
Projects" (March 2001). The
process. requires that Twenty Two
Degree undertakes a Screening of
the project, and this notice is
intended to meet the Notice of
Commencement requirements for
the Screening.

Christmas CD since they
arrived back at school in
September.
"The kids laughed the first
time (we practised the songs)
and then any visitors that
come to the school question
what's going on and why were
practising (Christmas songs)
already," said music teacher
Francine Looby. "It's been
actually quite humorous for
everyone."
Along with choirs of
students from both schools,
will be carols from St. Vincent
De Paul, St. Patrick's and St.
Columban church choirs.
"I love the sound of
children's voices singing
together in a choir or in a
class," said Looby. "Just
hearing the songs come
together with the music in the
final stages, that's what I
really enjoy."
Looby said that she had
been tossing the idea of
recording a CD around for a
couple of years, but the
announcement that local
parish priest Father Moe
Charbonneau would be
relocating in December
spurred her to get the
recording done this year.
"That is what prompted me
to get on it this year because I
wanted him (Charbonneau) to
be involved," said Looby, who
explained that Charbonneau is
singing two carols and
performing an original carol.
Charbonneau said the
original carol, entitled the
Heart of the Saviour, was
penned in 20 minutes during a
retreat he attended in 1997.
The carol is about the
Christmas story and how the
world longed to see a saviour.
The 14 -song CD will
include Christmas carols like
Away in a Manger, Silent
Night, God Rest Ye Merry
Gentlemen, Glory to God in
the Highest and Deck the
Halls.
"Because we're a Catholic
school we tried to keep with
traditional Christmas carols
about the birth of Jesus," said
Looby, although she admitted
the Kindergarten and Grade 1
students will be performing
Santa Clause is Coming to
Town and Jingle Bells.
"I'm hoping this will be a
CD that they'll listen to each
Christmas and they'll have
fond memories of recording it
and the practicing we've gone
through," said Looby.
Choirs from Mitchell's St.
Vincent de Paul, St. Patrick's,
Dublin, and St. Columban will
also contribute a song to the
CD. The staff from both schools
will contribute a track as well.
Last Friday, the students of
St. Columban and St. Patrick's
recorded their songs in the
library of St. Columban school
which was transformed into a
recording studio.
The CD is being mixed by
Schinbein's Music in Mitchell
and will be available to pick
up in early December.
"I'm really looking forward
to hearing the final version,"
said Looby.
A contest to design the
album's artwork is being held
between the two schools. The
winner will have their artwork
displayed on the front of the
album.
The CDs cost $20 and can
be pre -ordered by calling the
secretaries at St. Columban
and St. Patrick's schools.
Pit bull attacks on a `steady increase'
From Page 1
General Michael Bryant in a
press release. "if passed, the
amendments to the Dog
Owners' Liability Act would
protect Ontarians not only from
these dangerous dogs, but from
irresponsible owners."
The legislation, if passed,
would ban pit bulls in Ontario
and would double fines up to a
maximum of $10,000 and allow
for jail sentences of up to six
months for individuals who own
dangerous dogs that bit, attack
or pose a threat.
"I don't know how else we
can stop this (pit bull attacks),"
said Bob Trick, an animal
control officer in Huron East.
Trick said the proposed bylaw
would help eliminate the
number of pit bull -related
incidents he deals with.
In his 15 years of being an
animal control officer, Trick has
been involved in several
s
In his first two months on the
job, he dealt with three pit bulls.
"Since then they've been on a
steady increase. We have a
number (of pit bulls) in the
arra," said Trick
Over the past six weeks, Trick
said that he has dealt with four
or five incidents involving pit
bulls in the regions he enforces.
In one of those incidents, a pit
hull was chasing cattle and had
fought with another dog.
"I don't know if they're all
bad dogs, but the ones I do deal
with are mostly pretty
aggressive," said Trick.
According to Trick, a pit
bull's bite packs as much force
as 2,000 pounds per square inch.
"They're a very powerful
dog. A lot of owners that have
them don't know how powerful
they are," said Trick.
According to the Ontario
government, people who
currently own pit hulls will be
However, they must be muzzled
and on leashes while in public
and be spayed or neutered.
"The big thing with pit bulls
is that they are unpredictable,"
said Trick. "They can just be
like a baby at one time — really
kind and gentle — then all of a
sudden something snaps and
then they are aggressive."
Under the legislation the
Ontario government would
define a pit bull as: a pit bull
terrier; a Staffordshire bull
terrier; an American
Staffordshire terrier; an
American pit bull terrier or a
member of a class of dogs
bearing a similarity to the above
breeds.
Barry does not think that the
ban will stop pit bulls from
being bred.
"They are always going to
have pit bulls around whether
they likc it or not," said Barry.
"If someone wants a pit bull
