LU a a a Expect decision on (From page 1) is expected from Transporta- tion Minister Benoit Bouchard jo late August or early Septem- r. Earlier this year, the To- ronto-Havelock Passenger As- sociation presented Via Rail with a detailed brief outlining steps that could be taken to ra- tionalize the service so that it could operate in the black. "I guess our submission has fallen on deaf ears," Mr. Pag- nuelo told the Star. "If the recommendation is that all Regional passenger routes are to be terminated, then all the logical arguments in the world would not interest the politicians," he said bitterly. The daily Toronto to Have- lock service is used by a lot of Scugog and area residents to commute to their jobs in the city. Five years ago, the then Liberal government pulled the train off the rails, but it was re- stored by the federal Conserva- . tives in 1984 on a "use it or lose itbasis." I sometimes think this is 1982 all over again," said Mr. Pagnuelo. He said that even among the passengers who ride the train daily, he has noticed a res- ignation lately that the line's : days are numbered. And he said he personally knows some people who are try- ing to sell their homes to move , closer to Toronto to ease their { commuting problems once the 'line is dis-continued.

Two passengers in the car, James Glasbergen and Richard Desroches, both from Newcas- tle, were treated for minor inju- iy at Oshawa General Hospi- tal. The driver of the second ve- hicle, Kathleen Hisson of Orono was also treated for minor inju- ries. Police have not laid any charges as a result of the a dent.

"I guess I'll just have to drive to Whitby early, find a place to park and take the GO Train," he said. Bitter and disappointed, he lamented the fact that the To- ronto-Havelock line had so much un-tapped potential for communities along the route if managed properly, not only for commuters, but for tourists and visitors.
