Speyside They said budget reasons were behind the proposal smaller but admitted mounting opposition from the Niagara Escarpment Commission NEC Hills and Milton were also factors Now much of the over acre site will be left in its natural state The consultant said they feel the traffic limit of the Town Line is a maximum of 150 cars so they only have parking for cars As well there would be capacity for three buses giving thesltealimilof750people far fewer than the over originally planned In addition visitors would come to IPC only on weekends not during the week as originally planned Activities and facilities would be concentrated to the interior of the property covering about HO acres maximum One new feature of the pro would be a six acre on farm with a small barn and farmhouse and an area where city folks could view and pet a few farm animals The day use area with park for 125 cars would feature picnic tables and the existing pond as well as trails In the central activity area there

privies and barbecues would be up graded A maintenance area covering two acres and featuring a building on an old foundation is planned and there would be a fruit tree orchard maintained on the site The largest building on the property would be about square feet with several slightly smaller buildings planned Future developments on the site would Include a Roman Catholic chapel cultural demonstration kiosks an over night trailer camping area and winterized shelter facilities Previously NEC had been told It was an ovcrzealous con tractor who built a new road and access onto the Town Line on the IPC property without a development permit Under questioning by Councillor Dave Whiting Alvis indicated the new road was built by IPC workers The NEC Is going to lake legal action against IPC for building the new road with out a permit Milton forced the IPC to remove the illegal access earlier this month Whiting said when future development of the site taken into consideration the new pro posal is just the old plan phased over a longer period of time Whiting Councillors Hike Armstrong Ron Knecbtel Phil Carney Marilyn Sheldon and Mayor Peter Pomeroy all ran into roadblocks trying to get answers to questions as neither man seemed to know that much about the project Councillor pushed to find out why Illegal development has taken place on the property what IPC s alms are outside of ethnic cultural interaction bow many members there are and what the organization connec is with the Roman Catholic Church Whiting and Sheldon both complained about the danger fence put around most of the property as well as the illegal blocking of he opened and un opened road allowance St Helena Rd across the pro said they were told by a previous owner the road t public and it in the deed After hearing a legal opinion saying the road belongs to the Town and the public rights are violated because It has been blocked with gates and concrete barriers in two places Hal ton Hills council decided to write IPC and order the blockades re moved If they I removed in 10 days then the Town will re move barriers Armstrong noted the Town has had a lot of problems with two other cultural recreation centres and he felt IPC could understand and ate the Town caution with this plan Armstrong said from the name he thought IPC was a peace group and wanted a re treat where people went to pray for peace but that wasn t the cose it was just another ethnic cultural centre Pomeroy asked why IPC waited until now to bring Its proposal to council and was told IPC understood the NEC was referring everything to the Town Now IPC just wanted lo tike the Town aware of Its new proposal warned now council will have to go through the whole process of reviewing the proposal again and will still need many question He objected to the length of time the presentation took adding the people who wanted to speak to council namely Father Cunha should have shown up or cancelled He warned IPC has done a lot of damage to its cause at council that Is If the proposal ever had any support among councillors Whiting said Cunha him last week want lug to come to council adding he had hoped to get some an swers he t been able to get at NEC meetings He said this presentation was about as productive as the presentations NEC has heard In the past Armstrong objected to the IPC coming under the guise of a peace group and called the whole proposal a sham He said he wished he could turn the proposal down now based on its merit because It has no merit Clergy Comment by Her Ralpfa would be safe to uy that all people want to be happy even though there is a differ opinion about what happiness is and bow it can be obtained In the world today many are accustomed to and expect mstant everything in eluding instant happiness In fact some expect it as their due and will grab at It even If It means trying to grab it from others Like Just about everything else happiness has a price and requires taking tbe teachingsofJesusseriouslz The plan of God which Jesus offers us for happiness now and hereafter does not sound much like the prescription for happiness offered to us constantly in our society Jesus is offering us the kingdom in our daily living and shows us the way to make the kingdom available The first to be blessed happy are the poor to whom Luke refers as the poor In spirit We are poor in Christ when we recognize the need to be stripped of all pride when we see who we are before God This poverty Jesus offers as a gift to be freely given We need to pray to be more aware that we ore the poor and to acknowledge that we are sin the sick ones the lost sheep the poor for whom Jesus came When we see our selves in this way Jesus can touch us and bring us to the kingdom What this involves Is acceptance of our selvesaswereallyare accepting the reality of our human condition and limitations and allowing Jesus to fill us with himself Through self acceptance knowing we are loved by God as we are we can be trans formed by the presence and power of Jesus to be caring and compassionate The scriptures call us to ongoing con version by returning to ourselves and knowing what we are We do this to allow God to recreate and transform us Even in our poverty God sees us with Jove He then offers us the gift to bless us and make us happy Lightning strikes house Milton Fire Department
