IN MEMORIAM d O $'fe'at hey” F or N-'ei with your news ' i:ps 52 24l,� 0 r ition • from -page 1 eta], government the -second right of refusal, the municipal government the third, and the landowners the fourth,” stated the commit- tee, adding that when the loeal MP's office was contacted on February 3 to ascertain whether or not the Federal Ministry of the Environment had indeed refused these pro- perties, it learned the Federal Government is not interested in acquiring abandoned rail line properties, except in built up areas. On December 22, 1988 the Provincial Government formed an Interministerial Committee led by Transportation Minister Ed Fulton to consider provincial acquisition of railway rights -of way for transportation, recreation and other public uses. Strong in- terest groups under the auspices of the On- tario Trails Councils - locally the Maitland Trail Association - are lobbying forcefully for the designation to be made. "We are concerned that if our voice is not heard now, the decision may be made without even consulting those whose lives will be most directly influenced by this change," said the Ground Hog's Day Committee. Quoting that portion of the OFA Policy Manual which deals with abandoned Right - of -Ways, the committee noted farmers liv- ing on properties abutting the abandoned railway property on Concession 10, agree with the OFA statement which recommends the right-of-way be offered first to adjacent landowners. They also agree with the OFA's condemnation of attempts by any authority to sell such right-of-ways for non- agricultural purposes if the right-of-way was agricultural before severance; is found in a predominantly agricultural communi- ty; or would not have been permitted in a municipal official plan, The OFA also recommends that in the event a government agency wishes to obtain ownership, their policies include provision and responsibility for drainage. fencing and weed control. Concerned that might not happen the GHDC asked Morris Township council to assist them in reclaiming these acres as part of the original farm parcel, and cited a number of reasons - including a desire to reconnect divided lands on a short conces- sion,. weed control and fence maintenance they can be responsible for 100 per cent - for their request. But there were other reasons as well. "We feel that a property divided by -a public access trail would be further depreciated. even worse than the railway. Railway traffic' was 'traffic -with a purpose, whereas recreational traffic is at any time, Many direction - an invasion of our property throughout backyards," the farmers said. Another issue raised concerned the possibility of nuisance lawsuits arising as a result of injuries or deaths occurring on or along their property lines - lawsuits which could result in increases in personal or municipal insurance premiums. Also men- tionned was the danger of faun guard dogs injuring rail users with ensuing damage liability claims, and the danger of dogs or horses, cycles or snowmobiles injuring livestock, children or property belonging to the farm owners. The general consensus of the GDHC members was that, among other things, the proposed nature trail or park project would be an impediment to cooperation 'between farmers on drain maintenance; could limit the right of access for the farm owner 'areas his own property; and could provide areas for vandalism, littering and public mischief. "We feel that no group presently suppor- ting the proposition of converting these abandoned railway properties has the fun- ding capabilities to guarantee the high level of security and policing necessary, to pay for the preliminary survey and fencing of the proposed trail, and to maintain weed control and drain maintenance," they said. In further explanation, Jeanne Kirkby, secretary of the GHDC, said property' owners are . basically frightened by the ramifications of turning over property previously only used by the railway, to the public. "It sounds like a beautiful idea for everybody," she said, "but for some of these people the trail -will be going right by their houses." H CBE "The train went by at a specific time of day, and there was no loss of privacy.`Now you could have people going by at all times of the day and night The ramifications are searey. What you've got is a dark tittle road that leads all the way from Blyth to'Waiten, and is unnoticed The possibilities 'are enormous." What the GHDC wants is the -eventual return of the land to farm property, and it wants both property owners and councils (particularly Morris township council) in- volved in the process. It said it feels -the eventual return of these lands to the farm parcel would also enable the farmer to ef- fectively control drains, weed control, fences, envionmental protection, and stray animals - at his cost, not the township's. "If the land can be returned to the farmer, we want the municipal council to encourage its reclamation for agricultural production in all cases where feasible. If the reclaimed land is unsuitable for eultiviation, we wish it to be re -forested, thus providing wind- breaks, weed control and soil erosion con- trol," it said. In the event the committee's desires are overruled by a provincial decision, and the lands are converted to Nature Trails or Parks, the committee wants certifiable guarantees these protections will be main- tained at the highest level, and at a cost to whatever agency develops them. "For over 80 years, the CPR railway has brought benefit to the surrounding townships and communities of this area, While the land depreciation, and the extra costs and inconvenience of a divided proper- ty have been endured by the farmers adja- cent to the track. Therefore we are respect- fully asking the council of Morris Township to negotiate on our behalf to return this land to the farmers at minimal cost." • from page 4 This is a mandatory undertaking which could reach a total cost of $70,000.

He was involved the whole time and did an excellent . job. And the speakers were excellent too. Ferrone could have left a couple of jokes out, but otherwise there were no complaints. Dennis Hull was excellent." Co-chairman Marty Bedard agreed. "It went excellent. and the people who were here got their money's worth. It was a .good show," he said. "In regards to a Third Annual Celebrity Dinner in Seaforth, plans are still "iffy" at this stage of the game. Mr. Nesbitt noted organizers intend to hold operating costs to a minimum next year, perhaps by concen- trating on getting one main speaker and a good M.C. first, then filling in the rest. Some names being tossed around include those of former NHL legend Bobby Orr, major league baseball umpire and chief advisor Marty Springstead and former Maple Leaf Jim McKenny, Organizers also hope to have more local celebrities present.

She says synchronized swimming combines characteristics needed for all water.sports. You need the strength of a water polo player, the precision of a diver, .and the -en- durance of a speed swimmer. "It just kind of grew, it became part of my life," she says. She started swimming when she was 13. At 14 abe was put on the competitive team because they needed someone, but she sur- prised her coaches with how fast she took to the sport, although she says she really hard to work at it. In 1981 she was one of .40 people who tried out for the national team,.and was one of 20people who made it. Michelle and Carolyn's success in syn- chronized swimming has given the sport a much higher profile in Canada since its hav- ing become an olyn'►pic event in 1984.
