m The Hastings County Board of Education has banned the public from using the 40-acre area containing a quarry north of Bayside Secondary School off Aikens Road. School board officials, seen here overlooking the quarry, said their decision was necessary to protect itself from huge insurance lawsuits from persons injured on the board-owned property. The board will fence the remaining portion of the property and post no trespassing signs. Belleville OPP have been asked to carry out regular patrols of the site and trespassers will be prosecuted. The 40-acre site has been used by the public over the last decade for unsupervised swimming, trail bike riding and snowmobiling. No accidents had been reported.
