VIA passengers still hope to retain some rail service The president of the Toron- to-Havelock Passengers Associ- ation is "cautiously optimistic" that rail service will be main- tained even if the federal gov- ernment pulls the plug as ex- pected soon. Paul Pagnuelo told the Port Perry Star Sunday evening, he is very pleased with a compro- mise suggestion put forward over the weekend by Durham MP Ross Stevenson. He said Mr. Stevenson will attempt to meet this week with federal Transport Minister Be- noit Bouchard to suggest a couple of ways the passenger service between Toronto and Peterborough can be kept go- ing. The first suggestion, ac- cording to Mr. Pagnuelo, would be to have VIA continue operat- ing the line until GO Transit can takeit over. The second would be for GO Transit to put its rolling stock on the line, but have the federal government put operating costs into the service for a two year period. "This kind of compromise could be a win situation for all concerned: the province of On- tario, the federal government and of course, the passengers who use this service each day," said Mr. Pagnuelo. "It is very attractive for our (passenger) Association, as it could mean no disruption in the service," he added. He praised Mr. Stevenson for taking the initiative to sug- gest the possible compromises and his attempt to put the sug- gestions to the federal Trans- port Minister. However, he noted that Minister Bouchard has not lis- tened to other suggestions in the past on how to keep the VIA service through this area on the rails. Last week, leaked docu- ments that were reported by Canadian Press, said the Toron- to-Havelock VIA line would be chopped effective January 15. Mr. Pagnuelo said he feels the federal announcement may come as early as this Friday on (Turn to page 3) Police lay charge in first degree murder Durham Police have charged a 23-year old Oshawa man with first degree murder in connection with the death of a Bowmanville man. * Aaron Joseph Eade was charged over the weekend and was held in custody for bail hearing Monday morning. * He is charged in the death of Daniel Sullivan, 42, whose body was found Sunday after- noon in a wooded area west of Bowmanville.
