by Wendy Thomson I went completely out of control in Scotland when It came to taking pictures ending up a great stock of color slides as well as color and black and white pictures In spite of that there were still hundreds of things I t get on film that I would have liked to One was the Inscription on a tomb at the cathedral ruins in Elgin I had run out of film by then hut copied out the words which were Sacred to the memory of The truly loving and an truly beloved of whom stomas an inestimable Prudence Candour and Many Virtues He most deeply laments and with tears inscribes this Marble as a mark of his veneration and unfeigned sorrow for the Irreparable loss He sustained in Her death and to perpetuate the Remembrance of So Worthy and Amiable a Wife Whose Remains were entombed here

death- dealing harpoon still arches over the gateway OLD CASTLE ruins often have the remains of a graveyard still evident years after this Bairn of years died the epitaph is stilt legible Witness says power going north In testimony before Environmental Hearing Board proceedings last week in Hlllsburgh Interested Citzcns Group witness John Schneider stated by the time the 500 power line from Bradley Junction Georgetown is built all the power on the line will be going to Northern Ontario He said he un why Ontario Hydro is going to bring power down the line from Bruce to Milton or over to Toronto and then send it back up to Northern Ontario Hi said Ontario Hydro lawyer J Southey had previously staled all power coming out of the Upper Georgian Bay generating station would be coming south and that the new corridor was needed because all other lines were already Tilled Schneider concluded this just true The Interested Citizens Group lighting the Bradley Junction to Georgetown hydro corridor wonts the Environmental Hearing Bmrd to bring in an interim report and Ontario Hydro to come back with dence about possible alter native routes The citizens lawyer Robert Smith made his during his final sum motions before the Environ mental Hearing Hoard day in He asked the Board to con very carefully the clti Tens proposal that the terms of reference of the Board be expanded and that they look at other possible corridors Smith charged that Hydro never really looked at nor them routes as an alternative to the Bradley Junction to Georgetown route and that time would not be a factor If the Board asked for evidence concerning putting the kV line on an existing corridor He noted If it was put on an existing line most studies would already have been completed and only some field work would be required He said evidence showed the decision on the route was made before an environ mental study was started and termed Hydro witnesses as advocacy testimony Smith suggested that since the decision on a route had al ready been made it was only natural for Hydro officials to try and find reasons to justify the route but added he would have preferred frank yes no answers from witnesses since they were discussing scientific facts Smith said he was was the Board do the same thing the Com mission did flic an interim report requesting an ex pan of the terms of reference and added the terms of refer could be expanded with out hurting Hydros timing He asked the Board to re quest hydro produce snowing why the Brad ley Junction Georgetown route was needed at all and said it was simple way to get at the real truth Smith said there was bitter among the interested citizens group and that it was necessary for Hydro to prove lo the public that there was no other possible route He noted the only piece of evidence the Solandt Com mission didn thoroughly examine was the evidence presented by the citizens and that was because Hydro told the Commission not to He requested the Board appoint an independent group to complete the field work Hydro has done inadequately He said it would only a few weeks and could be done while the Board carried out its deliberations Smith said other possible routes might prove to be cheaper if they were properly examined but there was no way of knowing until they are studied He said this was one way residents could be satis fied that there was only one possible route and that they must the Hydro lines During his summation Smith attacked Hydro dence as being inaccurate agreed agricultural land should be avoided and yet Hydro considered only one route and never looked existing northern routes Smith complained that there just 1 enough available to be sure there wcren any harmful effects to persons health from hydro lines He added just be cause Hydro said they had never experienced any health didn mean any because there were too many unknowns He suggested more study was needed about the medical effects of power lines before Hydro started String them up over people Smith wondered why Hydro only examined effects on people working with farm equipment that was 14 feet high when evidence wis at hand that there Is a tendency to have larger farm mach He said the evidence the hearings was the farmers themselves and he reminded the board they bid heard the farmers fears about even fields under the wires let working under them He suggested there any farmers who had ittcn the hearings who would tarry out farm operations around the towers or under the lines hearing how inconclusive evidence is medical and the dangers of hydro hues Smith admitted that Hydro was going to pay the farmers compensation but wondered how were going to com pensnte for the stress by constant dangers posed by the lines Imddition lie said com the

Hydro town were read Into the should have avoided one record of Environmental and two farm land but No health danger says hydro designer According to Peter Ralston the man in charge of design he proposed 250 loot hydro corridor from Bradley Junction to George town Ontario hydro has pro vided more than adequate clearance between the ground and the height of the hydro lines In testimony before the En vironmental Hearing Board in Hlllsburgh on August 6 Ralston stated that the Can a Standards Association CSA suggests a clearance of feet is safe but Ontario hydro has established a clearance of to feet just to be on the safe side He noted the standards he was referring to were the most recent developed and pointed out that at a 40 foot clearance electrical static shocks from the hydro lines were not noticeable most of the lime Ralston explained the low est clearance was feet but the suggests feet just to be on the safe than the allowable level He said he clearance level arc established by Ontario Hydro after taking a number of things into consideration Including how hot the line can get air temperature possible icing conditions the greatest amount of power the lines could be expected to carry electrical effects on people and machinery under the line Ralston pointed out tint hydro had taken into account the effects of electrical magnetic fields and electrical static shocks on both farm equipment and large ran sport tractor trailers He noted there was a large difference between what effects on people and machinery depending on whether machinery was used on the farm or used for transporting goods on high ways Ralston added the biggest farm equipment taken into account In Hydro study was feethigh He continued that tests and he complained about the amount of liken of farm production by lines in his letter that independent study of the line is and that hydro has submitted filse information the choice of I imehouse for crossing has been mined letter from slated that ind overlooked the ecology of ihe he power line will cross and that it was ipparent the outset of the hearings Hydro has been trying to discredit evidence during proceedings which is least feet higher

restrictions and interference by the lines and hydro on his farm operations Smith also pointed out there was a visual Impact on the farm caused by the lines because many resl dents were proud of their beautiful farms which were blemished the power lines He said he wis amazed the number of mistakes made by Hydro considering the small areas examined and he fact few field studies and interviews with farmers were conducted Smith said Hick who wrote a letter supporting Hydro choice for the corn dor have lasted long under cross examination and he noted the letter from the Federation of was only one
