Thank you Mr. Korol for voicing your opinion on the proposed speedway in Fort Erie, and for all the people that will take the time to speak out. We need to keep our farm and wet lands in this area. Don’t give us more pollutants in the air, soil and water. They shut our hospital down, but then decide to bring up to 100,000 people to the area in one shot. If someone would need help, it will be a long way to bring an injured driver or spectator to get the proper help. Please think before you give our land away.

And heaven help the race drivers who get hurt in an accident…just how long will it take to get them to northwest St. Catharines….?

To “create” yet another cancerous sore on our
already ailing planet? To cut off our nose in order to improve our looks? Why commit suicide slowly, inch by inch, race track by race track, when we have enough nuclear weapons to do it in a flash? Or perhaps the overriding philosophy is: no pain no gain? I wish Mad Magazine was still around and kicking.

I thank Professor Korol for his timely remakrs and urge more people to follow his example and urge that the Ontario government appeal the official plan amendments needed to approve the Canadian Motor Speedway scheme to the Ontario Municipal Board. This scheme threatens to reverse a half century of environmental resotration efforts by Fort Erie farmers, that have caused the municipality to have some of Ontario’s best Carolinian habitat. The province must act quickly because the appeal deadline is March 15A!
