little to eat andBlairlKrudwigRR Acton consumes a sandwich while he watches the classes of beginners and pre beginners take take instruction in their regular morning classes at the beach A pass the buck attitude created when an Innocent elm tree standing bare and defenceless on Main SI In had to bo removed tins Icil one village resident wondering what specific golden rule governs what public utilitarian organ i ration and where does the ordinary taxpayer look for assistance to complete what functions Ray Death said he Is not too amused at what transpired recently when an age old elm three feet across Its girth slanting well towards No Seven Hwy and heading towards both telephone ana hydro lines needed to be removed due to Dutch elm disease weeks ago Ray said he first asked for help six weeks ago from the Ontario Hydro He knew they had the required equipment to assist with the feat Hydro Informed Mr Death that the tree would fall short of their lines across the road and therefore was not their responsibility They suggested I should contact Rockwood Hydro com mission he said According to Mr Death Hydro said they would assist when the tree- cutting program was in operation Village trustees referred him to the Depart of Transportation and Communication who In vest ted with measuring equipment and decided the tree should be felled but It was a Death responsibility as It was located on his property Ray said they Ignored the fact that the tree was leaning heavily towards the road and was tall enough to fall across the highway which could both obstruct traffic and hit hydro wires Bel unavailable Desperately Ray Death felt the tree should be cut down last Saturday Calling the Bell Telephone Co he ex plained that two wires going down George Street could be affected and requested their assistance He was told he could take the wires down himself as they had only two workers out that day and were not available to help P refused He said the crunch came when he contacted the He had organized the removal of the elm by him self the aid of friends He required the assistance of the to holdoff traffic as he was concerned that if the tree fell on the highway It could be dangerous According to the frustrated Mr Death the OPP in formed him it was not their responsibility and refused to The tree was dismantled piece by piece last Saturday afternoon Ray says he was not looking for someone else to do the job for him but rather than the organization with the proper equipment lend a hand He said culling down a tree especially such a huge one was a difficult and dangerous taBk worthy of a professional tree cutter not one for a layman It really makes you wonder what these high quality public organizations arc all about and what good their equipment is If it can I be used once in a while for public facility said the disillusioned resident who spends many hours in the business of assisting his community and fellow man He feels his experience would make any person discouraged INSTRUCTRESS KATHY lines up pre beginners on flutter boards and it s one two three and under the water for the tiny swimmers who enjoy the water under Kathy able teaching and are
