Snowmobile association
responds to skier's letter
Dear Editor:
I was concerned about the letter
from Brent Bowyer in regard to the
skiers, snowmobilers and hunters.
For many years, these recreational
groups, as well as the horseback
riders, have "played" together in
harmony.
We are snowmobilers, and use
the local trails a great deal. There is
a lot of expense keeping our snow-
mobile trails in shape, not to men-
tion the donated time to run the
alpines and groomers. Before the
maintenance begins, landowners
must be approached and written
consent obtained for the club to
cross their property in a spot conve-
nient to the landowner.
These trails are then staked,
sometimes trimming done or
bridge building, so that people

know where the trails are and can
use them safely. With our annual
membership fees, our association
provides liability insurance that
protects the landowners in case of
an accident on their property. In
this club, our snowmobilers must
be exercising a certain amount of
safety and common sense as we
have not yet had to claim on this
insurance.
The club has always welcomed
the skiers to the use of our trails, at
no cost or request of help for the
trails. We quite often meet skiers on
the trails and have never experi-
enced any problem. The snowmo-
bilers are definitely easy to hear
and I find the skiers always step to
the side of the trail as we come
along.
The Wingham and District Snow-
mobile Association does obtain per-
mission from the Ministry of Natu-
ral Resources to use its tract of land,
north of Wingham on the south
side of the 2nd of Culross. It is
approximately 1-1.5 miles west of
the Falconer ski trails. Many skiers,
who are most welcome, do come
hrough the ministry land and on
our trails, across some privately -
owned land and further into the
section that has been known as
Syme's Bush. This is located on the
"horseshoe", just across the road
from where our clubhouse is locat-
ed. This last section of trail is under
new ownership and we have been
told that the snowmobilers,
hunters, skiers and other recreation
groups are no longer permitted to
use this land. The changing of the
trail is now underway, with some
details still being worked on.
As for the Falconer Trail — this is
not to be used by the snowmobilers
and I believe it is posted to that
effect. In Mr. Bowyer's reference to
angside, we do not have club

Established in 1985, the Premier's
Awards for Accessibility are pre-
sented for excellence in the design
of buildings and environments that
provide ease of access and use for
everyone, including disabled per-

The awards, are intended to
encourage individuals and teams of
professionals. to incorporate excel-

ments and to focus public attention
on society's requirement for this
type of design.
Added to this year's presenta-

program for university and college 1

The Dovercourt Recreation Cen- a
tre was one of the 11 finalists, t
including the Peace Tower on Par- n
liament Hill, in the 1988 competi- b
tion.
In announcing their selection, i
competition judges praised the cen- ci
tre for the integration of features n
ranging from floor patterns which a
provide guidance to visually- to
impaired users, to accessible coun- a
ters, drinking fountains, elevator
buttons and an accessible kitchen. la
They commented that there is no en
feeling of separateness and segrega- fr
tion in the centre, adding that in ex
this respect it was better than any- en
thing they had seen.

Letter reports on status
of lower pond committee.
Dear Editor:
This letter is intended to bring
you and the citizens of Wingham
up to date on the status of the
b- Lower Town Dam committee.
rs We met for the first time last
as Monday, April 3. At that meeting,
to the consensus of the group was that
of something should be done to
✓ restore the lower pond to its former
is state.
✓ An executive has been formed
e from volunteers and its first task
's was to write to the people responsi-
ble for the engineering studies that
e were done in 1985 to ask them for
- 1990 estimates.
s It is our intention to gather all
n interested citizens once these new
e estimatesare received, These cost -
'f ings will play an important part in
s our decision as to what we hope to ,
local recreational groups, possibly
we could all meet and discuss
trails, safety, courtesy and common
sense in order for everyone to enjoy
the winter or summer sport of their
choice.
accomplish in the lower pond area.
One final point I would like to
make is that this committee has
been formed to beautify what used
to be our lower pond. It is in no
way connected to the Lake Wing -
ham concept.
It appears that the Lake Wing -
ham will have very little, if any,
effect on the water level in the
lower pond area.
As a result, our committee feels
that regardless of what the commu-
nity decides in regard to Lake
Wingham, our project — the Lower
Town Dam — must continue to
work toward its primary goal,
restoring the beauty to the lower
pond area.
