From u.p here
-.
by Shelley McPhee
w- I've never been -against progress oto-chanr,. and I'm
cei'tuin that it's a i.:. •.essary part -of life but it seeCns that
Many people ignore and mu=se the.pest in order to. make
way for the future.
I came up with this astounding revelation over the past
weekend when I watched part -of ' Ontario's heritage
receive its death sentence.
71t a Lake Erie -cottage area, just south of Dunnville, a
lighthouse sits on a small uninhabited island about one
mile from shore. ...
The stone lighthouse, built' in 1848, has offered com-
pany and tradition to the many' cottagers and area
residents over the years. It has withstood the most in-
credible storms and has a vividhistory.
The, story has it that theabandoned lighthouse is
haunted 'since its last keeper froze to death there in 1931
while trying to -reach shore for Christmas.
Although for many years the lighthouse has had no
keeper,,_its light still gave gi. idance for passing ships by
batteries, until it recently quit.
The old toweeand island have, not been' abandoned and
for many years the people picnicked -and climbed to the
top of -the, lighthouse. The island is also a prime nesting
spot for seagulls and their eggs and youngsters cover the
island,
Yet with all its history and importance to the people of
the area, and the wildlife, .plans have been finalized. to
blow up the old lighthouse sometime this month.
I had no real personal attachment to the,ligh'thouse
since I had only seen it Once before, but as a part of our
past and as an innocuous. structure, I cannot see the
purpose of its destruction.
The executioners,, the Canadian Coast Guard, a section
of the Federal Department of Transport, said in a
Hamilton newspaper report that blowing up the structure
will cause the least disturbancesto the nesting gulls. -
I wonder why the gulls or the . lighthouse must be
disturbed at all. As far as I'm, concerned, the lighthouse
is hardly a menace, for no one goes.near it now and it is
far enough out in the lake to cause little damage if it does
collapse.
., Despite rescue attempts by a .nufnber'of cottagers who
have known and lived with the lighthouse for years, it is
unlikely that it will be saved from the clutches of those
who just refuse to leact well enough alone.
Perhaps my opinion may have been different if Stich an
old structure was situated in a populated area where it
would be a danger to people, like some unsightly con-
demned buildings thatare in our area. However, I cannot
abide by the thoughtless and reckless attitude's of,today
that allow such architecturally and legendary buildings
tobe'snuffed out.
Because this incident is occurring _some 100 miles from
Clinton does' not make it irrelevent. Look at the once
lovely, old houses that are left abandoned throughout our
countryside, , perhaps they may not be in the best , of
condition, but it has only been through., neglect un-
concerned attention that this has occurred.
Such recent issues as the restoration of Clinton's'Town
Hall, or my Personal wish to restore the entire downtown
Clinton area, should not be left unattentive. For they too
may literally sink into the sunset like the defenseless
little lighthouse on Lake Erie. , ..

Save electricity,
save money.
there are two ways
saving electricity can save
money.
First, the obvious one:.... --
.The less you use, the less -
you have to pay for, And to-
day, electricity is simply too
valuable to waste.
Second, something
nOt so obvious. Ontario uses
more and .more power every
year. This means an ever
increasing investment in plant
and equipment.' .and their
cost is rising rapidly, The cost
'of fuels is also increasing
rapidly. These costs inevitably
'show up M. the price you pay
for electricity.
You can help to slow
down the growing demand
by usink electricity wisely.
