The area cornes complete wlth a few Ponds, a wood- ed areas an the best toboggan hill in the reglon. Big his such as-the one i Ennlskilleri are landmarks and have provlded couintless hours of erjoyrnent for rny generations. Our ancestors probably slid dowri the huge his on pleces of tanned animal bides. Decades corne and go and the property lncluding the big bill gets bought and sold. Couritless people frorn far and wlde stil corne to our bu lwlth varlous slidirig apparatus anid enjoy some of the best wlnter funi our region has to offer, environimentally friendly and Is enj oyed, by young anid old alike. Eventually we, "the taxpayers", corne to owri the land this great hill sîs on, including the vast wooded area oppo- site IL. Caretakers have to be found for the property and The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority,(CLOCA) is bired to maintain It. CLOCA is given a budget and a mandate frorn mhe province to protect and enhance the envlronrnent. Money used to flow in this province and CLOCA was able to make niany imaprovernents to mhe EnniskilMen conser- vation area. A concession stand and a washroorn were con- structed.* A large parking lot was put in place to accommo- date mhe many visitors to mhe areas and i Its hey day sleigh rides were offered to one and ail. Now it'stme 90 and cut backs rule mhe day. CLOCA bas not escaped mhe financial chopping block and bas laid off much of it's field staff . CLOCA officiais don't want people to toboggan down the bull wimh out supervision frorn its staff. it is considered unsafe. To make sure it's unsafe they have planted trees at the bottom of mhe bull mhis fahl. The long terrn goal Is to reforest the hili. (in keeping wimh their mandate no doubt). It ail seems like a case of misgulded revenge to me, and we mhe taxpayers are being used as pawns i a garne we don't want to play. It nigbt be tâme for some like-mnirded individuals to group together to make sure our tobogganing bill cari be enjoyed for years to corne. Su~bscrÎptions are now due: o $2.0 per year.

On Novern'ber 5, 1996 I was alrnost jkilled by 9,000 lbs. of steel which fehh frorn a truck. Today, Jariuary 20 at 8:30 a.rn. I went to court to hear the charges agairist the driver anid company for hav- irig an "unsecure load"I. They were both going to plead guilty but I had the prosecutor on my side. He told thern before court started that he had a witness and h was also prepared to say what I saw7 and bow It bas impact- ed rny ife. Hie- said he was seeking a $1,000.00 fine for mhe driver and a $10,000.00 fine for the cornpany- The blggest fines 1 have beard so far. They botb stepped back and reallzed mhat mhe were i over their beads. All of mhis because I sbowed up and was prepared to speak up., .They mhen adjoumned their next court appearance to April 21/97 and I wfllbe tbere also. Hopefulhy now they are just as scared as I was on mhat day it happened. They mhought they would just walk into court and get mhe minimum fines by pleading guilty. Well surprise. I am still alive and able to speak up and 1 will see this througb to the end. 1 rieed to have sorne peace of mind in knowing that someday we will ail be safe on our roads. If I have the deter- miriatiori to followr this mhrough - so-do-you!
