snowmobilers had found the estab
lishment of official trails had
allowed the OPP and club trail war
dens to effectively police the trails
and help gain landowner confidence.
Broderick said, “It would be no
different from snowmobiling. The
landowners are dealt with on a case-
by-case basis by the area clubs.”
Councillor Bill DeJong seemed to
concur commenting, “...with an
organized trail you can develop a
trail warden program and the OPP
would be more involved.”
Life seems to be pretty quiet in
Ethel lately!
Ruth Struthers is back delivering
the daily newspaper. Perhaps we
didn’t recognize how reliable and
diligent Miss Struthers is about her
carrier position until that dreaded
morning last week when the paper
was not in the box. The manager in
the delivery department said he had
received calls from more than half of
the subscribers in Ethel, teljing of
Ruth’s excellent service and asking
for her back.
At our house, seeing Ruth every
day is something my children have
embraced as somewhat of a ritual.
My youngest stands inside yelling
“Hi Ruf’ through closed windows.
We are glad you’re back!
The January COP meeting will be
held this Wednesday, Jan. 15 at 7:30
DeJong went on to admit howev
er, “It is a little hard for us (council)
to become enthused when it is really
the province which controls the rail
line.”
Councillor Larry McGrath agreed
saying, “The province owns it but
they want us to make the decision
about what to do with it.”
After further discussion Mayor
Lin Steffler asked what specific
action was being requested of coun
cil and was informed that support in
principle was all that was expected
at the present moment.—I------------------------------------------
p.m. at the Brussels OPP office.
The February meeting will be held
in Ethel and will focus on the imple
mentation of some pending changes
to the 9-1-1 system. The changes
affect some small towns such as
Ethel and the township needs input
from the communities to decide
where to post the 9-1-1 numbers, as
house numbers will no longer be
used.
We encourage as many people as
possible to attend this informative
meeting so that their suggestions
may be heard. More details will
come.
Cornerstone Bible Fellowship
Youth for Truth group meets this
Thursday evening at the church.
Grey Twp. firefighters meet this
week for the monthly practice. I
would like to apologize for the stir I
created in December by writing that
the dinner was on Friday when in
fact it was on Saturday. Thankfully
everyone made it. Bob Alexander
was presented with a plaque from
the department honouring his more
than 40 years of service. We should
all extend a hand to thank such a
dedicated local hero.
Finally, I would like to wish Ben
Hruska a happy sixth birthday.
Councillor Joe Sieli suggested that
while he did not see any problems
with support in principle the delega
tion might have a stronger case if
th.ey canvassed the landowners
along the route to try to obtain their
support.
Council eventually passed a
motion expressing their willingness
to act as a facilitator between the
province and the ATV clubs over the
use of the former CPR rail bed.
