Comment on Swimming in Trout Lake. by John Virginillo

John Virginillo — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:33:11 +0000

I grew up at across the street from Trout lake and although i never swam there can tell you there have always been Trout, Carp, Catfish, Black Crappy’s and other coarse fish in the lake. There are also several types of Salamanders and frogs. I never swam in the lake because we use to sake water samples for science and there was just a few too many organisms living in the water for my liking. That being said I am sure there are plenty in most other lakes I have had the pleasure of swimming in

Comment on Who? by Dennis Meszaros

Dennis Meszaros — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:07:12 +0000

My name is Dennis. My Mother was one of the Militants Mothers Of Raymur (Siegrun Meszaros). I was 5 yrs old in 1970 and I remember darting through the stationary train cars many times. I also remember my father running all the way down from the 12th floor and pulling me off one of those cars before it progressed to its destination. I would like to say to the other mothers the same thing I said to my mother….THANKS….because of there strong will of getting that overpass I may not have been here today. THANKS AGAIN

read your article with interest.Another lady and I started it all, right at the very beginning, the bumper from the train engine actually touched my midsection as the engineer tried to push us off the tracks.He gave up swearing and cursing us. As the day progressed more and more people joined us. My son Dennis who attended Seymour Elementary school was almost run over by the train, that and the futile effort by our tenant association who on behalf of concerned parents wrote letters for two years to city hall, to the transportation department in Ottawa and to the train company. The train company took us to court and Harry Rankin offered to defend us, the case was thrown out. We had a lot of community support and also by the media. I think it was only after 3 weeks of staying out in the cold that we were told that the pedestrian overpass would be built. It was brutal for all the parents but we stuck it out and won. It cost about $250 000.00 to built the overpass and fencing along the tracks and an economic loss of many millions of dollars.
