Television shows combine
to examine line proposals
On1Sunday, May 26 at 12:00 noon, TV -
London's "Inquiry" and "This Business Of
Farming" will combine for a one-hour
special. The program will examine, in
detail, Ontario Hydro's proposal to deliver
power from the Bruce Nuclear Power
Development in Bruce County to
Southwestern Ontario.
After a rejection by a 1988 Consolidated
Hearing Board of their .first M1 System
Plan, Hydro accepted a modified M3 Plan to
route power to London over lines along
Highway 401.
In November 1983, an appeal against the
route was launched. Thy appellants, in-
cluding The Central Ontario Coalition,
argued that notice of meetings had been in-
adequate and therefore the recommenda-

Plan was invalid. The Supreme Court of On-
tario upheld the appeal and they were back
at square one.
Hydro's current proposal is once again
their 1M1 Plan of power lines run over
farmland straight to London from Bructe.
Hydro's Ml Plan, however, is facing stiff
opposition from the Foodland Hydro Com-
mittee.
Co -host for this special are TV -London's
newscaster and Inquiry host Neil Stevens,
and business and farm reporter Ross Daily.
Joining them are Foodland Hydro Commit-
tee 1st Vice Chairman Ken McGregor, and
Ontario Hydro representatives Rick Camp-

Foodland
continues
to grow
The membership of theFoodland-Hydro
organization continues to . swell as can-
vassers criss-cross the municipalities of
Middlesex, Huron and Bruce Counties. Lan-
downers' indignation continues to rise, as
they contemplate that their rich soil could
be wasted to support a hydro line, when a
viable alternative route is available where
less productive land would be used.
The interest accumulating on tdonations
made to Foodland-Hydro is paying for the
meagre expenses of the organization to
date. No major expenses are foreseen in the,
immediate future, and the bulk of the money
collected will be available for professional
expertise at a later date.
The early spring sunshine has brought a
surge of activity in our agricultural com-
munities, but volunteers continue to donate
time and effort to ensure that an effective
voice will be heard on behalf of the
Foodland-Hydro members.
Earl Cherniack, Q.C., and the Legal
Liaison and Strategy -Committee have the
critical task of selecting expert witnesses,
and considerable work is being performed
in this area now.
The members -of the Promotional and In
formation Committee have been delving in-
to the vast and specialized world of the
media. With the co-operation of both elec-
ti`onic and print media, we have spread the
aims of Foodland-Hydro, particularly in the
daily and weekly newspapers. \,C.B.C.'s
Radio Noon, with Roy Maxwell, aired a
telephone interview with Gerald Rose
regarding the impact of a hydro corridor on
agricultural practices. C.K.N.X. radio in
Wingiham broadcasted an interview with
Foodland-Hydro's first vice-chairman, Ken
McGregor on May 9th.
C.F.P.L. television will be airing an "In-
quiry" program on the hydro line issue May
26th, with Tony McQuail ansl•Ken McGregor
representing Foodland-Hydro.
Foodland-Hydro actively canvassed' the
local political candidates in the recent Pro-
vincial election. Indeed, the proposed hydro
corridor (M1) from Bruce to London was a
definite political issue in this area. We con-
tinue to maintain political pressure on our
elected representatives, and we urge all
concerned people to do the same.
Statements recently issued by the Public
Utilities Commissions have gained media
attention. A communique .circulated -by the
Windsor P.U.C. requested endorsement of a
resolution by area municipal P.U.C.'s that
"there,will be no further delay in providing
for electrical transmission line routes out of
the Bruce Nuclear Power Development".
