This was cleared up when Reeve Robert Kenny and councillor Phil Orde met with the various merchants involved and clarified the situation. It appeared the petition presented had been interpreted wrongly. The extensions and delet- ions are affecting quite a number of home owners in the residential area, and there are still about 40 who have not signed the petition.

Snow- mobile races in both Osh- awa and Lindsay the same day were blamed for the ion of only 20 snowmobiles. There were 10 contestants in the 40-mile cross country endurance race and another 10 registered for the cross count- ry treasure hunt. The course gave the avid snowmobiler a variation of country to travel. There were rough sections, and bush trails to test the contestants skills, in handling their machines and good open stretches for bursts of speed. Richard Lewis, winner of the cross country said 'It's a really good course, with a little bit of everything." There were a couple of minor mishaps during the day but other than scratches and bruises there were no injuries. First in the Cross Country Race was Richard Lewis of Prince Albert, riding a Yama- ha. His time was 1 hour and with $607. the year before. Continued on page 17 I poor turnout - and--registrat------- 20 Snowmobiles In Cartwright Races Richard Lewis, winner of 40 mile cross country race.
