The beer strike is making many dedicated beer drinkers long for a cool one. One way of assuring yourself of a good supply, despite beer workers' lockouts or strikes, is to brew your own. A local company that would be happy to show you how is Brew Tech, run by Sandy Ingram of Fullarton. Blew Tech is a new company, co - owned by Ingram and his brother-in- law in Windsor. They operate without the overhead of a store, using distributors who sell out of their homes. Brew Tech arranges homebrew parties in people's homes. where those interested in going into beermaking can see a demonstration w ►ttttn two uays. of the process. There's no pressure to buy at a party. The business is growing quickly. In- gram is still setting up distributors. and is considering hiring someone to help him. "The amount of business you can do in a small town doesn't warrant opening a store," Ingram ex- plained. Brew Tech takes mail and telephone orders. Ingram sees not having a store as an advantage: "Even the big stores can't carry everything we do," he says. "They have overhead problems when they carry too much stock. We can usually get anything you order BEERMAKING SUPPLIES — Some of extracts and beer kits available from Brew Tech are shown here.

The history of Ontario Hydro and the Huron County farm community goes back a long way. There were some bad experiences with a 230 KV line to Seaforth. There were concerns about Hydro plans for Nuclear Power Plants and multiple power lines cross be the costs, the impact on the en- vironment and information gleaned at the recent information sessions held. Hydro expect that by the first of May the process of elimination would be complete and the route to be recommended, decided upon. Once the preferred route from Bruce to London is established. -Hydro's route and site for Southwestern Ontario will be iden- tified. Two of the three areas Bruce to Barrie, London to -Nanticoke and Bruce to London) will be involved. They expect to make the announce- ment of the recommended routes for Southwestern Ontario this summer. Before makin_ the decision Ontario The farm community in Huron County has worked consistently over the years to present their concerns about the impact which hydro pro- posals would have on farming and farmland in this agricultural county. The Foodland-Hydro Committee is one more expression of the interest which farmers take in ensuring that Ifydro's plans do not run rough shod over foodland interests. The present transmission study has come about because Ontario Hydro feel that there is a vital need for new transmission facilities in Southwestern Ontario. in 1981. Ontario Hydro conducted studies of a number of alternative plans for the expansion of the bulk transmission system in southwestern Ontario. An environmental assess- ment was prepared and submitted to the Ontario Government in 1981. Public Hearings were held under the Consolidated Ilearings Act and study areas approved for detailed route location studies. In 1983 Hydro com- pleted these route and site selection studies within the approved study areas ►between Bruce and Barrie. and from London to the Ilamillon- Nanticoke area) However. in June 1984 a decjsion of the Divisional Court of Ontario in- validated the findings of the 1982 public hearing. As a result Hydro is proceeding with additional route and site selection studies in the areas bet- ween the Bruce Development and London and the area between ('am - bridge, Brantford and Woodstock. The route now being identified is the Bruce to London route which in- cludes Huron and Middlesex Coun- ties. Within this area a number of alternate routes have been establish- ed. A process of elimination will be us ed to derive at the preferred route. Factors to be taken into consideration during the process of elimination will • • y i ro wl now e a of acreage of farmland that will be in- volved, the river systems that will be crossed and the impact on the wetlands. Following the announcement. Hydro will make a submission to the Ministry of the Environment for an Environmental Assessment. The ob- jective of the environmental assess- ment is to identify the impact of the transmission lines on the environ- ment. Ministries will participate in the review and the review will he published this fall. . Public Hearings will be held and be decided upon by the Joint Board. established under the Consolidated Hearings Act. The Board has the authority to give approval to acquire property and construct facilities. Preliminary hearings will be held. It will hear submissions and decide where the hearings will he. The hear- ings will be held pursuant to the ('on- solidated Hearings Act. individualF. organizations. groups, property owners and anyone interested or ef- fected by the proposals may par- ticipate in the Public clearings. The Hearings are expected to lake place this fall. Interest in the power corridors is extremely high as indicated by the at- tendance of 200 to 300 and sometimes more people at the Information Cen- tres. The Ilydro Study Teatn have received a great deal of pertinent in- formation from property owners. However, owners and interested per- sons who could not attend and have concerns, should write to: Mr. R.J. Campbell, Community Relations Department. Ontario Hydro. 700 University Avenue. Toronto, Ontario. M5G 1 X6. • . People that will be effected by the announcement in the summer will be notified by Hydro and will receive notice of the Public hearings.

Parking had been prohibited in that area to provide a bypass lane for motorists around vehicles making a left turn into the former parking lot on the north side of the store. The parking lot is now at the south side of the store with access off Sanders. Somemembers of council sug- gested this week that some parking along Sanders near Main should be eliminated to end the congestion which has arisen in the past few weeks. Another recommendation coming from the public works committee was that Ed and Flora Gackstetter be sent a letter expressing the regret of the committee that planned work on Nelson St. had been dropped from this year's budget, but is to be top priori- ty for 1986. The latter phrase was amended to say only that Nelson St. would be in- cluded on the list to be considered next year after members thought the original recommendation may be misconstrued as a definite promise to undertake construction on the street next year. families.
