One good trail deserves another Sixty-nine hikers raised $900 for a proposed Pinery Park bicycle trail sim- ply by checking out the park's new 2 km Heritage Trail last weekend. Brenda Burke T -A staff GRAND BEND - Hikers with pledges were admitted to Pinery Park free last weekend to 'Take'a Hike' along one of North Amer- ica's largest remaining Oak Sa- vannah areas. Half of the 6,000 hectares of Oak Savannah left in the continent re- mains in Pinery Park, according to Tom Purdy, acting natural heritage education supervisor. The trail was initially referred to as Pinery's New Partnership Trail due to its partnership theme repre- senting funding from three sources, the Friends of Pin- ery Park, the Syden- ham Conservation Foundation and the Canadian Parks Partnership. "All of these part- nerships are just there to enhance our natural heritage," said Purdy, adding research education nered with park preservation man- agement to allow projects such as bat and deer research as well as wheelchair accessibility and un- usual trail routes. Because the trail weaves through dunes, hikers can look up at the scenery, instead of down, and thus enjoy a unique hiking perspective. This rare per- spective represents one of the rea- sons the trail is named the Heritage Trail. "Our park system represents nat- ural heritage in Ontario. It's a more suitable name because," said Purdy, "we're looking at educating the public about rare habitats and what goes beyond showing where the washrooms are." Purdy describes a savannah as "a prairie that tries to turn into a forest and never gets there...a combina- tion of trees and grass....Many of the species are here because they do well with fire." An Oak Savannah area burns nat- urally every 20 years. The Heritage Trail area underwent a prescribed burn in 1990. Big Bluestem is one type of rare prai- rie grass that thrives in the area. As far as the proposed bike trail goes, Dawn Crabe, Executive Director of The Friends of Pinery Park, says it's "an approved project in a concept form." "Biking and in-line skating are high priorities with our visitors," said Purdy, adding "because of our classification we have very strict limitations as to what we can do." The park is classified as a natural environment park. The proposed 5-7 km bike trail will be built by redirecting and up- grading existing park roads.

Dear Editor: In June 1991, I was diagnosed with advanced Hodgkin's disease (cancer of the lymphatic system). I was 42 at the time and knew I had little time left to Iivc. For the following three months I tried several alternative treatment methods - all with no success. The only way I was eligible for paid leave of ab- sence was by submitting myself to chemotherapy. At about the same time as I started taking chemo- therapy, I mct the man who discovered Metabolic Therapy. I started this most astounding therapy im- mediately and was subsequently completely cured. I have proof of this with x-rays that were taken at an- other hospital not associated with the cancer clinic and therefore did not have a vested interest in my illness. I stopped taking chemotherapy after the third session because I had the oncologist's signa- ture for my insurance claim. The oncologist sent me threatening letters. In a letter dated February 19, 1992 he guaranteed that I would be dead within three years unless I continued chemotherapy. I then went into hypnotherapy to help deal with the stress and fright I experienced from these letters. The three years have passed and thanks to Meta- bolic Therapy, I am now healthier than I was before the cancer. The therapist and I became friends, and since then, I have witnessed miraculous healings. Frank Ludde has healed the most serious cases of cancer, leukemia, arthritis, M.S., Parkinson's, ALS, manic depressions and others. All of this with natu- ral ingredients and no drugs. Needless to say, the government and the medical establishment have no interest in Metabolic Therapy. People should be given a choice to take Metabolic Therapy rather than surgery, radiation, and chemo- therapy (slash, burn, and poison). If this would be the case, many, like myself, would be alive and well today. As it is now, the public is being deprived of this choice for the sake of maintaining the medical establishment's monopoly on our lives.
