The Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-04-27, Page 9STATE FARM, Auto INSURANCE L _ ®_A ti Dear ditor We five rColborne Township an Hghway 21,and . recently a tree was cut down on our property by the lklinistry of Communications and Transportation. A tree was also cut down on the adjoining property. We believe the policy is that the pr.' erty ' owners have first choice of the wood and after that anyone can take it.. Unfortunately, we were not even given the choice. The trees were cut down before noon when no- one was home and when someone returned home around 3:30 p.m., the wood from both trees had gone. We were not allowed the choice. Whoever took the wood did so during the few hours no-one was home. The fact that no-one was there to tell them to leave it alone, ,did not mean we did not want the wood. We have been waiting all winter for the tree to be cut down and now we have to buy wood. This tree for firewood was small compensation for the amount of work we have to do to maintain that part of our property bordered by the highway. Every spring we spend days raking the gravel, stones and sand off the grass and back on to the shoulder of the road thrown there by the snowploughs in the winter,. Not to mention, the broken ,,glass, beer .bot- tles and other garbage that we have to pick up. In the summer we cut the grass and trim around the trees. Since the tree has been cut down, we are still in the process of cleaning up that area. The twigs and sawdust has to be raked up, pieces of twigs and branches have to be pulled out of the ground, holes have to be filled in and patches of grass replaced. You will understand our anger considering the amount..a wor-it involuedand someone else,.got the wood.! We have written ,.to the authority concerned as we feel property owners should be notified a few days before a tree is going to be cut down, so that if they are not going to be home, they can make. sure someone will be there. Wood is at such a premium now and it is obvious that people are acting quickly and are taking what is not rightfully theirs befcre the property owners have the choice. It is like stealing and we hope whoever took that wood may read this and feel, a little guilty. After all - we needed that wood! Angry, Colborne Township Wi11 taxpayer help with funding? Dear Editor: I have learned that the ap- plicants for director of the group homes were question- ed about their ability and ex- perience in fund raising. I was of the opinion that resi- dent care should have top priority, so I contacted the administrator of ar. ,ther home which is also funded on the 80-20 formula. The response indicated that fund raising was very important and also offered to share their "endless information". I was forced to conclude that the places with 80-20 funding are forced to com- rpete with the Heart Fund, `the Cancer Society, the Blind Canvass, the March of Dimes, the Scouts, etc. I feel that the public 'needs to be aware that the alternative places planned for the Men- tally Retarded will fall into this category. Now, lest someone wants . to accuse me of "walking by on the other side" I want to say that I do not object to paying my taxes so the Remarks upset manager Dear Editor, I am writing on behalf of the Milton Minor PeeWee Hockey Team in response to an article printed in the Y.C.W.

This is in accor- dance with our O.M.H.A. Tri -County Rule book - Rule No. 4D. Due to tempers which sometimes run high after a ,game, this does ap- pear to be a good policy. In the game referred to, our boys were waiting to shake hands at. the start of the game, but the opposing team went to their bench. We certainly do not want any misunderstandings with the organizers of this fine tournament, as ourboys really ' enjoyed themselves. Perhaps the tournament organizers could review and make clear their position on "handshaking", either before or after. We feel Mr. Reiner's remarks were uncalled for and pure assumption that the boys never shake hands. In no way do we, as coaching staff for this team, discourage good sportsman- ship. Iry Johnson Manager. Milton Minor PeeWee Hockey Club. retarded may continue to have 100 percent funded care. I want them to con- tinue having the care given by trained staff, enjoy the swimming pools, the dances, • the movies, and other recreation. I am happy that they have workshops, the garden, farm and camp. I strongly object to the residents being moved to , small group homes, where the level of care, recreation and training may be depen- dent on whether or not they have managed to get a significant shareof our "charity dollars". And in closing I would re- mind my fellow taxpayers, that if the retarded are mov- ed from 100 percent funded care to 80-20 care we need not expect our taxes to come down. No doubt our govern- ment will find another large corporation to bail out, or they will want another ex- ecutive jet. Yours truly, Dorothy Potter, 229 Hincks St., Goderich, Ont.
