Park named after big league hurler O ne o f Penetanguishene's parks has been recently named after a big league baseball pitcher, who, according to Red Smith of The New York Times, "could throw a baseball faster than most but wasn't always sure where it would go."' Phil Marchildon Park, near Payette Drive, is one of 16 parks in the town to be of- ficially named by town council at its last meeting. An amendment at the meeting to put Phil before Marchildon was suggested and approved so that there would be no doubt as to which Marchildon the park is named for. "'Babe"' Marchildon, a Dea tee vive o f Penetanguishene, was a big league pitcher of note. In 1942 to was employed by _ the Philadelphia A's - one of professional baseball's least suc- cessful teams. eContinued on Page 3 County's lakes A rip-roarer inno danger of acid death Seven lakes in Simcoe County, seven of 1,665 Ontario lakes surveyed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, have proved to be as yet un- damaged by acid rain. Bass Lake, Fairlain Lake, Georgian Bay, MacLean Lake, Orr Lake, Lake Simcoe, and Sparrow Lake are each rated as being 5 on a scale of 1 to 5. Level 1 lakes have lost the alkalinity necessary to neutralize acid rain. Many fish species may be absent, or fish may be totally absent, from level 1 lakes. Clouds of algae may accumulate close to shore. Clams and snails and other amphibian species will also be absent. Level 5 lakes are not sensitive to acid rain and can withstand a heavy influx of acid during spring run-off without suffering damage. These lakes have enough alkalinity to neutralize acid rain indefinitely. Of the 1.665 lakes for which test results have been completed, 534 were listed as not sensitive, 567 as being moderately sensitive, 244 as having a low sensitivity, 234 as having extreme sensitivity, and 86 as being acidified. Almost all of the acidified lakes are in the area of Sudbury and the acidification there is believed to be directly affected by local sources. Last Wednesday afternoon's storm dumped three and a half inches of water on Penetanguishene in one hour, according to the public work's department, making the storm, going hospital. by statistics, a one in 25 year event. The town lost 100 feet of asphalt curve on-Don Street and 100 square feet of readway on. Park Street. Most of iis: damage was to private property, along the lines of flooded basements, said Fred Lynn, head of the town's public works department. Theresa Hartley, a Grade 12 student at Ecole Secondaire Penetanguishene Storm was once in 25 year downpour Secondary School, outside in front of the school when lightning struck nearby, returned to the school suf- fering mild shock. She was not sent to Flooding was a real problem in the area of Chatham Street and Wolfe Street, and in the area of Yeo Street and Don Street. Most Canadian municipalities have storm sewers with a dimension built on a five year curve, meaning, Lynn said, that the pipe can accomodate up to two inches of rain in one hour. Ten or 20 year curve pipes are not in- stalled because of the expense.
