Tunes begins
Thursday at
Victoria Park

Local musicians are invited
to show up at the bandstand
in Victoria Park every Thurs-
day night this summer to per-
form in the third annual Twi-
light Tunes concert series.
They'll even be paid for their
performances. Well, sort of.
"Basically, they'll be work-
ing for a meal," said organizer
_Pete Klaver with a laugh, add-
ing that after their set, musi-
cians will be fed a hamburger
and pop.
Klaver is encouraging per-
formers of any musical style
to "bring their fans" to enjoy a
free night of entertainment.
For the past two summers,
performers of old-tyme fiddle
music, jazz, blues and rock
music have graced the stage
to entertain scores of local res-
idents attending the event.
"One time we had up to 25
fiddle players perform in one
night," Klaver says.
Klaver is hoping regular per-
formers from last year, such
as songwriters Rick Ashby
and Kim Souch, will step up
to the stage and perform for
crowds again this year.
"With an open-mic system,
you never know who'll show
up," Klaver says. "Anyone is

Environmental
Registry, says
HuronemBruce
MPP
Susan liwndertmark
St. Columban area residents with
concern - about - the two proposed
_wind projects in their neighbourhood
can express their concerns to the
Environmental Registry and attend
a public meeting in Port Elgin with
the Ministry of the Environment on
June 22, says Huron -Bruce MPP
Carol Mitchell.
She said similar to the process in-
volved when the province took over
regulations concerning nutrient
management and smoking, there is
a time period, as Green Energy
Act's regulations are determined,
when neither the municipality nor
the local MPP have jurisdiction over
the issue.
"It's more appropriate to respond
to the Environmental Registry since
it's out of the MPP's hands," she said
a phone interview Friday.
Mitchell said a large body of work
has been done researching health
concerns related, to wind turbines
with "numerous studies based on sci-
ence which have been peer-reviewed"
as the Green Energy Act was creat-
ed.
"The Green Energy Act went across
Ontario with numerous public hear-
ings and lots of presentations. It's
been debated in the House and
there's been extensive consultation
• •
to evolve to the process we're in nght
now," she said adding that "in days
the regulatory framework will be
presented.
As well, she said it's been proposed
in the Green Energy Act that an om-
budsman will deal with "any issues
going on."
Mitchell said she's received close to
100 letters and phone calls with con-
cerns about the Green Energy Act
and local wind turbine projects. and.
