Hydro power
corridors
By Jack Riddell M.P.
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

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.

Southwestern Ontario will be iden-

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

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

location studies. In 1983 Hydro com-
pleted these route and site selection

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.

Technically, a permit is required to
brew in Canada, and beer can only be
given away to immediate family
members. CAMRA agrees with
homebrewers not being able to sell
their beer, but would like to see the
laws changed to be more in line with
those applying to home winemakers.

tabled this week suggested that some
parking be allowed again on Main St.
in front of the Olde Town Hall and the
library.
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.
