the HERALD HomeNewspaper of Hills Tilt I A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Mm nth I Publisher I OH Advertising Manager 11 Second Mail Rcgistc Meeting the Hydro crews toe to toe After the planners take their aerial photos after notices are circulated after the expropriation officer has staged his hearings of necessity after public meetings produce delegations to Queens Park after dozens of heated municipal debates after lengthy OMB sessions after environmental impact innuines after in numerable legal exchanges on paper and in the courts after detailed surveying mapping and plotting the landowners finally stand toe to toe with Ontario Hydros construction crew The one on one confrontations now going on throughout the Fifth Concession in Halton Hills represent the bottom line in a battle that has raged for seven yean over Hydro plans to build a volt transmission corridor between Bruce and Milton Awesome in their potential no one knows what exactly might happen from moment to moment these confrontations between landowners who claim Hydro men arc trespassing and Hydro officials to wno cite a Cabinet sanctioned right to proceed with construction have thus far been limited to heated verbal arguments initially before the watchful gaze of the regional police Little however has tran spired as farmers take time from their chores and pastimes to finally make the move theyd anticipated with some dread all along stan ding up to Hydro workers in an almost romantic defence of private property and civil rights With lawyers contributions all but finalized clients assemble for a last minute stand off against their armed it seems only with the kind of self ethics that have been rejected time and again by the decision makers as being no defence at all Defusing the situation this week is the general sense of con fusion shared by landowners who gather in small groups to compare informa about the movement of Hydro crews and any approaches made to properties and owners by negotiators They stand united however upon the basic pretext of the Interested Citizens Group that no construction should proceed until a full independent study is conducted of the selected route and possible alternatives a study never undertaken for the Bruce to Milton line contrary to govern policy While we acknowledge the almost ludicrous sight of a small group of farmers attempting to block construction of yet another tower in an endless series of four storey monoliths already erected we cannot help but applaud the landowner s intensity persistence and continuing belief that their long fight will produce some benefit As ineffective as these lot line confrontations seem to be on the surface we predict that much will be learned by all involved from the sudden parries and thrusts as it were going on along the corridor s path through town The line will be built but we 11 all be much wiser for the daybreak experiences of some diehard farmers who recognized the true significance of their land in Hydro s master scheme and reacted accordingly Letter from the Editor Paul Dorsey Ruralities is an idea of importance to all II 1 1 Ill III pie of II ml imli- in
