There is some doubt as to the usefullness of this ramp to the general public. However. the Village does have some transient storage space at the entrance to the flats. It is anticipated that this space could be made available uring the active boating season. The council of -the Village. which entered into this controversy nearly '10 years ago, feels that it has carried out requests from the fishermen and the Ratepayers Association of the Village to protect their rights in as reasonable manner as was possible. The three encumbants, who had possessory rights. have - relinquished them to Blue Anchor Investments Ltd. in a manner apparently satisfactory to each owner. On the other hand, public access to the River has been protected even though parking space may not be as plentiful as could be desired. Although • this is not a solution the Village had hoped for. public access has been preserved.

You should approach restoration with an open mind and not tend to "pretty up" things but strive for authenticity and be honest. Most of our ancestors came to this land with very few possessions. Most furnishings were sparse. fairly simple and austere.

One of the first sources often used is the homeland era from which the owner immigrated. and a good understanding of development of social history.
