The caretaker at Re- surrection spotted a car advertising Whitby Free Press signs at tUe cerne- tery and placed a cail to the Cathiolie ('ernetery Associationii iToronto. An hiour later a repre- sentative for the super- visor of tUe Cathiolie Cerneteries Association arrived at the scene. Hie explained that the grave (whicli was not shored) had collapsed as a grave was being prepared next to it. Explaining that even though standard size for a grave is 3 by 10O, "these things can happen quite often," he said. He also made a re- ;mark about an odour at the grave site. The odour was exuding from the 10O to 1 8 inches of water from a water table now exposed to the warmn 'Septem ber Sun. There is just no way we can guarantee that the grave will not collapse when we have to prepare another close by. It is also unfeasible lie said, to lie expected to callpersonis witl1 dead relatives in tlieir cerne- tery every tinie a new grave is being dug. "Whiy did no one eal] to let Mrs. Moînar know what she rniglit expect to find ini case she was planning to visit the cernetery,'?" the Free Press asked Mr. ('lune, supervisor of' the Catho- lic Cernetery Association the following day. "We don't have to," hie replied, supporting the opinion offered by his ambassador of the day before that it was infeasible to warn rela- tives of the deceased when a new grave is being prepared in the next lot. "How many burials or services would take place during a two day period,"9 he was further questioned. ""That doesn't mat- ter," said Mr. Clune, "we do flot have to make telephone caîls and we do not have to shore up graves."~ Mr. Clune also said that there couldn't have Ucen an odour because hiis rep)resenttative liad siad thiere was no odour and a Whiitby police of- licer wlio vas at tlie scetie as well denied any signs of odour. Hie did not say whiy and by whiom the policemnan was questioned about tUe odour. Mr. ('lune also warned tUie newspaper about printing an article on the incident and adrnitted his warning was a threat. The Wlitby Free Press was finally able to get a cornittrnent from Fa- ther Austin at Whitby St. John's Church who said he would pay a visit to the widow. "It's been terrible for her," said Mrs. Serke. "When slue buried her husband sUe naturally thought it wolùld be the last time sUe would have to see the inside of the grave where Uer hus- band's coffin was low- ered. She didn't really want to see it again." PLAVIiOY UNCOVEREI) - Continued from front page- TUe cottage is located beside a pond (bu jît withi a governiment subsidy) that resulted from damming Up a creek that runs throughi the area and Hermit Valley seerns to be used as an entertainment center. TUe problemn of road allowance arise s because the.. cottage appears to be buit on what mighit be the western side of a road allowance. On tUe eastern side of the property, is an out- side wooden bar complete with a cooler and a drawer full of beer and liquor tickets. One neighbour com- plained that Uie thoughit beer and liquor were sold on the site during a recent Sunday party. An adjoining neiglibour says that grass hias been cut on his property by somebody and thatdespite the 'Private Property' sign lie erected on his land close to Hennit Valley ie lhas had to ask trespassers to leave. Hie added that some individuals have even peppered his 'Private Property' sign with 22 shelîs and BB slugs. The Town of Whîtby hias been searching the title to the property for over a month in an effort to determine whether the town stili owns the road or flot and who is responsible for the upkeep of the road. Although Councillor Heron didn't know for sure who was responsible for the road ie lhas main- tained it himself as well as a bridge on the road to an adjoining farmhouse. Heron added that hielhas had to rebuild the bridge three times because the creek hias washied it out. With its troubled history Hennit Valley is causing the Town of Whitby a lot of problemis that both Heron and Mitchiell as well as the Town of Whitby would ike to have solved as quiekly as pos- sible - and that neighbouring residents hope to have solved even sooner.
