I swung up to the north end of Ward 1 and visited some homes along Highway 518 and ended the day on Carruthers Road. Carruthers has two long, steep gravel hills to climb that I managed to bike both up and down in one piece. There's no better way, to my mind, of enjoying the countryside than on a bicycle. It also helps me get in shape which is not such a bad idea.
This Sunday I spent a lot of time talking with a few people. I'm there to listen for as long as people want me there. While that's a good thing, I often don't get to meet as many Ward 1 people as I would like to. If I didn't get to speak to you on this round, I hope to visit more people along Hwy 518 soon.
So, onto this Sunday's quotes. The 'Seguin Quotes' series reveals the considered thoughts and beliefs of the people of Ward 1.
My question: "What's the one thing you would change about Seguin Township?"
A hill with hidden driveways on Highway 518."What is the acreage law for keeping horses on your property? It used to be two acres per horse, then it went up to five acres. They've changed it again and I don't know if it's 10 acres, or 25 acres. Like, what is it now?" - Wendy Langlais, Highway 518.
Highway 518."Transparency is a real problem" - Rick and Luanne Jaklitisch, Highway 518.
"We're being over regulated" - Rick and Luanne Jaklitisch, Highway 518.
"We don't want to see taxes increase. We don't think it's necessary" - Dan Murphy, Highway 518.
One of the wash-out gravel hills on Carruthers Road."When we were a part of Foley we used to have our gravel road graded regularly. Since we've been made part of Seguin the road is graded irregularly. The steep hill on our road gets washed out often and needs special attention" - Hank Reinders, Carruthers Road.
