The Canadien Chamion. Fniday April 6, 2001-7 I Ou? RMFRÇWRTTF Rev. Ken Campbell bids farewell to Milton Duar Editor: Afler 40 years of living ai Ra(tlessake Point, tomorrow (Match 3 1) we're leaving wiîis ail our isousehold goods in a 24-foot U-Haul truck and travelling to ot)u new hume in tise wildemness of Canada's great north-west - Tumbler Ridge, B.C. We'll bc relocating tise communications centre for our nation-wide cru- sade for national renewal 10 our new home, wisile the national office for the Ken Campbsell Ministries wiIl continue to be in Milton. Timber Ridge is an ultra-mod- em town buili iess thaît 20 years ago in what had been tise raw wiidemess - an hour's drive from the ftrst mile of tise Alaska Highway - for tise coal mines Premier Bennett had sent in to provide coal for the Japanese steel industiy. ise bottoru had fallen oui of that market a couple of years ago so tse mines were pulling oui and thse minera were leaving. Wisen we saw Use nation- ai news report of 500 homes going on tise market in Tumbler Ridge for $25.000 10 $30,000, aa cheerfuliy homelesa and penni- less old-age pensioners, we saw an opportunity for home owner- shîp again, by redirecting our montisly olti-age pension cheque from renting in Milton to pur- chaaing in Tumbler Ridge. Since our daily broadcaattng can continue by teleplsone to tise population heari of tise nation (JOY 1250 radio ai 2:15 p.m.) juat as well from Tumbler Ridge as from Rattîcanake Point, we decided 10 nsake thse move. We're thasskfui for our many frienda and neigisboura who have made Milton such a wonderful home for us these many years. We especially tisank tise congre- galion of Use Milton Bible Cisurcis (fomerly tise Emmanuel Baptisi Cisurei wisich ordaissed me to tise Gospel ministry in 1958) for tiseir whole-heaitedi prayerful fellow- ship Usrough Use years. And we're grateful for our asociates in Use Renaissance enssalde for parent power in public schooling. Ifleir sacriftcial participation in tise Renaissance leadership of tise isack-io-basics movement in pub- lic schooling has contributed so significantly t0 educational renewal in Halton and tise nation. And we're tisankful for tise friendship Urough Use years of Mayor Gord Krantz and town counicil, as well as our many busi- ness associates in Milton. Fmally, we're thankful for Usis great newspaper which has aerved and continues to serve Milton wiUs responsible reporting and professional integrity. God blets you ail, and we invite you ail to0 comne andi visit us ai Use *Wildemness Family Resort and Conference Centre' we expeci 10 be developing under Goti in Tuimbler Ridge. Obviously we're not goiflg 10 'Ibnbler 10 retire. Ken and Norma Campbel There's no doubt Fîrst Lîne traffic wIlI increase because of CN development - from THERE'S A LOT on page 6 lrom CN. Otiser companues'1 trucks may drive in any direction and I fear il rnay he down our narrow road. Even il none of tise 5(X) trucks in and 5(X) trucks out are oin First Line, then by sheer volume it will force cars and otiser traffic t attenspt 10 lind a quieker altemiate route witcis par- allel to Regtonal Road 25. Tisere is no doubt tisai trallie on thts country road wtll increase. 6. Property Values: Tisis area is zoned agriculture and tn some areas conservation because of tise proximity to tise Niagara Escarpment. Tise zoning was sucis as 10 provide a buffer between thse urisan areas of Oakville and Milton. Now we suddenly find tisat we will be living direcily across from an industrial facility tisai isas been paracisuted mbt tise area againsi ail town and regional Loning. My view of' tise escarpment will now ise of' stacks of CN containers. Wisaî other family would want 10 purcisase tisis for tise value tisai we paid? lits my isope tisai many if not ail of tisese concerns will be adclressed wisile tisis facil- ity is still in tise planning stages. lits betier t0 fis, adjust and correct now belote 1 have to lise with CN's errors and omitssions.
