Quick Way to Add Extra Horsepower To the Family Car Several Buildings Deemed to Have Historical Significance 1 By Andrea Adair Summer Sounds '90 won't be heard at Mosport this weekend. Yesterday, the Town of Newcastle won an Ontario Supreme Court injunction injunction to stop the music festival, featuring featuring 14 top Canadian bands, from taking place. Town of Newcastle Mayor Marie Hubbard said she thought the injunction injunction was fair. "Truly Amazing Productions was unable to meet the requirements of the fire department and the Durham Regional Police department," she stat-. ed. "Our position of council was to stand behind these requirements which I think were reasonable." The town sought the injunction against the concert, which was to be held on August 3, 4 and 5 at Mosport Park, because they hadn't received guarantees the municipality would be protected if damages resulted from the event. The Town of Newcastle wanted Truly Truly Amazing Productions to provide a $9.8 million insurance policy for the municipality as well as a $30,000 deposit deposit as a security against damages to neighbouring properties. Mayor Hubbard said concerts in the past such as Strawberry Fields and Heat Wave resulted in damage to neighbouring residents in the municipality municipality and the cost for the damages fell onto the taxpayer. "What we're doing," the mayor said, "Is protecting the public purse." Bob McCaffrey, production coordinator coordinator with Truly Amazing, said the court decision is "an aggravation but not by any means a major blow" to the company. After the decision, the company announced announced the concert will take place instead instead at Cayuga, a town roughly 20 miles south west of Hamilton. "It just means longer days and that we'll have to hustle very hard to have everything run smoothly," he said. Mayor Hubbard said she wanted to give "full marks" to the Durham Regional Regional Police department for their accounting accounting of what was required to police police the event. The police department sought $118,044 to cover the expense of 104 officers on 12 hour shifts for the entire weekend. Additional costs associated with the weekend for the police included additional additional work for staff sergeants and senior staff, rent of land and a trailer for a police headquarters on site and cost of fuel and vehicles. Mayor Hubbard said cost of all this would have fallen on the taxpayer if the injunction wasn't upheld. In addition, the town sought a deposit deposit for fire protection. The concert was to feature acts such as Kim Mitchell, the Northern Pikes and Blue Rodeo. Mr. McCaffrey said the plan to move to Cayuga, where a show in addition addition to this one was already booked, was one of two back-up plans. He said there will now be between 20 and 25 bands performing in addition addition to drag racing. When asked whether the production company would plan to stage an. event in the municipality again he stated he was "not at liberty to comment." The mayor added that the requirements requirements laid out by the police and the fire department were fair. "If you are thinking of creating a city of that size, there are major costs to the public," she added. Truly Amazing Productions had planned to construct a small city at Mosport that would house 25,000 people people for the three day event.

At a special emergency meeting of Regional Council last week, the chairman chairman of the committee said the situation situation is serious but that the social services services department hasn't run out of money yet.

Councillor Hamrc said, however,, that the department is at the "half way mark in their budget", just as staff has predicted. Staff has projected the numbers to this stage but she said staff have advised advised the picture could get worse and the department could be out of money by November.

If needed, any social services departmental departmental surpluses at the end of 1990 could be used. Council also decided decided $250,000 from the Regional Contin- S Account and funds from the is for the Aged to a maximum of $922,887 could bo used to meet the costs. If the Region begins to face a situation situation whore they are unable to moot payments to those living on assistance, assistance, the Region will advise the provincial provincial treasurer and the ministers of social services and municipal affairs and request them to take over the payments. payments.
