The Elora Cataract Trail Heavily used walking highway popular with many by David Meyer RICK GOODFELLOW - BIKING ON THE TRAIL (RICK IS ALSO FEATURED ON THE COVER) In the beginning, there were the railroads. The iron rails and smoke-belching locomotives credited for connecting Canada’s provinces and coasts, as well as its towns and cities , were suddenly dying. There was lots of abandoned railway land now coming available as those ribbons of steel were carted off and the built up rail beds had the cross beams yanked out - many of them used to prop up walls and to landscape the gardens of enterprising decorators. What was left was a swath cut through the countryside, and nobody was really sure just what would become of all that land. While that fate was being pondered, people with parties in mind swooped in and turned those lands into sites of revelry. There was a hierarchy of purchasing those lands. If the federal government refused, the province had an option to buy. Then, it was municipalities, and many rural councils pondered long and hard what they could do with lands that were scant feet wide and ran off into the horizon. In some places, like old Peel township, farmers tired of parties and broken bottles purchased land when it became available to them. They wanted to ensure trespassers and partiers could be blocked from reaching their livestock and crops. It was around that time some people began considering using the now abandoned lines for walking trails. For that time and place, such ideas seemed to many to be way out there. Others wondered if perhaps the idea had some merit. Their conviction was strong enough that they began holding meetings to pursue their idea and,
over the course of many public meetings, they managed to start building something that is not only totally accepted today, but also an intrinsic part of life in many parts of the country. In the instance of the Elora to Cataract trail, the man with the idea was Rick Goodfellow, of Salem, a teacher and someone who loved cycling so much he started his own bike shop. He and lawyer Deryk Smith started talking about the possibility of a rail trail between Fergus and Elora and, dare they think it, Guelph. Tom Skimson is a past president of the Elora Cataract Trailway Association, and one of its earliest members. He credited Smith as being a driving force behind the group and the trail, but he said of Goodfellow, “It was really kind of Rick’s idea.” Skimson said by 1988, rail lands were being sold off and Smith and Goodfellow made an effort to buy the CP rail lands between Elora and Fergus. Skimson said the idea might have come to naught except that Dr. Patrick Otto convinced his fellow physician in the area that walking was healthy. Led by Otto, area doctors donated over $10,000 and the trail group was underway. “He planted the seed,” Skimson said of Otto. “The doctors reacted really well.” Smith remembers the doctors raised about half of the $35,000 that was required to buy the land between Elora and Fergus. He also remembers Goodfellow called everyone he knew and held a meeting in a church basement. It was packed. People formed a trail group, chose a name, signed memberships on the spot and began to fundraise. Smith remembers lobbying
HOROSCOPES ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 It is crucial to pay attention to your feelings, Aries, otherwise you will act without thinking about potential consequences. This week, keep your head out of the clouds. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 You have to hold on a little longer, Taurus, to get the things you want the most. The reward will really be worth it if you have just a little more patience this week. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 You won't be able to keep still this week, Gemini, and it could be troublesome at work. You want to get up and go, but you have to sit and get many things done. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may resent others this week for wanting too much from you. Instead of holding in your feelings and feeling the fire burn inside, let others know that you're overwhelmed. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Work matters take a backseat to responsibilities at home. This will be OK in your book, Leo, seeing as you've been in tune with your domestic side lately. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 A busy week with plenty of chances to feel satisfaction put you in a very good mood, Virgo. You aren't even concerned with what others think of you for a change.
Fergus, Elora, Nichol and Pilkington councils to buy the land when the province turned it down and there was “no success there.” When those municipalities opted out, that left it open to citizens and adjacent property owners. By then, the group was working with the Grand River Conservation Authority and Credit Valley Conservation, and their charitable foundations helped buy the entire line. But getting support from adjacent landowners proved difficult. They wanted nothing to do with what they had been seeing for the past five years or so. “There was one meeting

River and Credit Valley] foundations.” Smith also noted the group’s membership was working hard to raise money. He remembers one donor giving him $100,000. Once the two authorities owned the land with the help of the provincial government, the trail group could announce its plans. Smith said with such things as controlled access, signs and regulations, members hoped to win over the landowners. That took over two years, at least. Smith remembers property owners demanding fences between the trail and their properties, then wanting gates through those
“There was one meeting where I didn’t think I was going to get out without being assaulted.” - Deryk Smith, on early efforts to start local trails. where I didn’t think I was going to get out without being assaulted,” Smith recalled. He said after nearly five years of parties and damage, supporting a trail was “a leap of faith most landowners were not willing to take.” But the timing could not have been better for the fledgling group. In the early 1990s, the provincial government wanted a pilot project or three for rail lines. It funded five groups across the province, and the group that started locally with the Grand River Conservation Authority and Credit Valley Conservation, suddenly found the entire trail purchase was possible. “We were fortunate to be at the right place at the right time,” Skimson said. “We got great support from both [Grand
fences, all at the cost of the trail group. Then, the fences began coming down. It seems the landowers now wanted access to the trail, too. “A forty-seven kilometre trailway linking the Credit Valley watershed to the Grand River watershed and communities along the way,” is the way the new Elora Cataract Trailway’s home page describes the route today. That trail, the first in the area for the group, inspired others and a move began to link the trails now starting in Wellington to the cross-Canada trail system. Along the way, the trail became so popular that in 2003, the acting editor of this newspaper, historian and columnist Steve Thorning, was moved to write about its use in an edito-
rial. He noted when he rode his bicycle to work from Elora to the east side of Fergus, he met nearly 100 people day and night using bikes, walking and pushing strollers, walking dogs and even on horseback. Smith said portions of the trail ban horses and snowmobiles and other sections allow them. He noted in the early years, outlaw snowmobilers caused problems, but legitimate snowmobile clubs also wanted to use the trail, and their policing efforts took care of most of those problems. The trail seems to be popular at all times of the year. People could be seen as early as February this year walking the stretch between Elora and Fergus. Various improvements have been made to the trail over the years. Smith said it is ironic, but in the early days the complaints were about protection of the adjacent properties. Today, he said, he gets complaints that there is so much traffic the resurfaced trail is in need of maintenance. Others complain the stretch between Elora and Fergus is so busy on weekends they won’t use it then. Last year, area Lions Clubs launched Project BOOT (for Benches On Our Trail). That initiative is charged with the sale, installation, and maintenance of benches along the length of the Elora-Cataract Trail. And this year, there is a once-a-month series of Sunday walks, including one on July 11 in the evening. They start in May and continue until the Jingle Bell Hike on Dec. 5. Goodfellow, Smith, Skimson and now Ray Soucy have been the four chairmen of the trailway association since its
- For the second week of April LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you are so good at providing what others need that sometimes you don't pay attention to what you need. Take some time for yourself the next few days. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, rather than doing your tasks in the same way you always do, find a new way to attack problems. You may find a new perspective on daily chores is refreshing. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Although you're tempted to forget about responsibilities this week, Sagittarius, you may want to buckle down and get to work instead. The reward will be much greater. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Something wonderful comes into your life this week, Capricorn. It could be a rekindled romance, some found money, or even just a chance to kick back and relax. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 It can be very busy this week, Aquarius, especially if you take on everything yourself. Rather, delegate some chores to others to lighten your load for a few days. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 You are probably tired of the grind, Pisces, and ready for a change this week. Bring Aries along for the ride.

inception. Smith likes what he sees from what started many years ago with an effort to obtain about four miles between Elora and Fergus. He noted Goodfellow had suggested taking railways out of commission was shortsighted and if trail groups owned them, the rails or public transit could easily be brought back with a dual purpose - rail and trail. Of course, too much land was lost for that, and people seem protective of their trails now. Smith said what really pleases him is families now meet and socialize on the trail, just like they once might have met and stopped to talk downtown. In his commute between Elora and Fergus, he sees elderly people on the trail with new walking shoes - and not looking too happy about it. Over the course of several meetings, he gets acquainted and he often hears the walker is out there on doctor’s order. But, as the season rolls along, those walkers suddenly seem to get a spring in their step and a look of adventure about them as they make their way down the wilderness road. The trail grows on them. And the doctors who helped get the trail rolling with the idea that it would improve health cannot be too unhappy about their investment. Not only are hundreds of people walking, hiking, running, biking and riding the trail, they are often doing it for a good cause. Those include such things as Terry Fox Runs and In Motion events designed to get kids in particular into the habit of exercising. A little foresight has come a long way down the road.

Some people bill golf as the "lazy man's sport." Absent of running, catching, or throwing as is par for the course with many other popular sports, it's easy to see why it would be perceived in that way. But playing a round of golf can actually be very good exercise. So if you need any other excuse to hit the links, going with the health benefits of golf is something that can't be refuted. One of the primary benefits of golf is the fact that if you forego the golf cart to travel from hole to hole, you're actually walking several miles around the course. Playing 18 holes of golf can involve traversing 3 to 5 miles. And as any avid golfer knows, most courses have a varied topography, meaning you could be climbing uphill and downhill,
working several muscles in the process. Walking is a low-impact cardiovascular activity that gets the heart pumping. Many doctors advise walking over jogging because it isn't jarring on the knees and feet. Walking is often an important part of a workout routine and can promote weight loss and a healthier heart. For golfers who do not have a caddy, carrying a bag full of clubs adds some resistance while walking. Research has indicated that playing a round of golf has the same health benefits of a full 45-minute fitness class. It will burn fat and also improve your good cholesterol levels. Some estimates suggest that playing a round of golf and carrying your clubs can burn over 400

Yoga moms have pushed soccer moms to the sidelines Many women are trading in their team jerseys for yoga mats. The busy soccer mom has transformed into the calm and ethereal yoga mom who is more interested in a stress-free life than racing around to sports practices. For a long time the stereotypical image of a mom was a minivan-driving, white, 40something picking up Timmy from sports practice and Jenny from cheerleading. Her fastpaced lifestyle had her racing between kids' engagements to home to other social obligations in a harried, time-pressed manner. But today you're more likely to see mom practicing her asanas instead of toting clipboards and team snacks. She's scooting around in her Hybrid vehicle
and striving for perfection, the Yoga Mom or Eco Mom is customizing her life the way she sees fit. So what else is different about women of the Yoga Mom mind set? A lot actually. Today's moms live further from their Baby Boomer parents, and aren't as influenced by their go-getter attitudes. As such, Eco Moms are more community-based and interested in being everyone's friends. That's why you're more likely to find Yoga Moms blogging, heading grassroots campaigns and
instead of the minivan or SUV and is more about living in t h e moment than overprogramming children with music lessons and enrichment classes. Today's moms are more freespirited and learn-as-you-go types. They don't strive for the same goals as their mothers before them. Instead of keeping up with the Joneses

seeking new friends on social networking sites. Yoga moms are more about spreading the word on ways to improve the community and planet than receiving the gossip on how to get ahead or the best recipe to bring to the office potluck. Many Yoga moms saw their own mothers struggle with the work-family balance with little success. New moms are more about embracing what's real and meaningful than being caught up in the rat race. That isn't to say today's moms are sitting on the couch catching up with daytime programming. They are certainly educated, successful women. They're simply putting their needs on par with the needs of their family and feeling better about themselves in the process.

G-force technology can make a body healthy The forces of gravity cause our cells to pump, increasing cellular health and strength. Cells need G-forces to pump, and cells need to pump to be healthy. On a whole body G-force/vibration platform, people can get some of the GForces that they lack in their sedentary lifestyles. Those enhanced G-forces (gravity forces) challenge and cleanse the trillions of cells in the body by causing them to stretch and flatten, producing a pumping action, to pump in nutrients and pump out toxins - which are the two main body functions. The whole body G-force platform is a product that has revolutionized the health and fitness industry. Whole body vibration exercise and therapy works the body from the inside out. Powerful vibrations move throughout the entire body creating an efficient, effective, and safe way to stimulate even the deepest muscle and bone cells. Whole body G-force platform, exercise, and therapy
work on the same basis as a rebounder or a trampoline; however you get a lot more Gforces in a shorter period of time on a whole body Gforce/vibration platform. Advanced G-force technology increases the production of regenerative and repair hormones, improves blood circulation, strengthens bone tissue, improves lymph drainage and increases basal metabolic rate. All that results in more strength, more speed, more stamina, rapid recovery of muscle and tissue damage, increased flexibility, mobility and coordination, improved collagen production, and fat reduction. So, by using a WBV platform for just a few minutes a day with almost no effort at all, it can transform one’s level of health and fitness. Maximum results, with minimum effort. Talk to Legge Fitness Stores today to find out more about how it can change how people feel and how the body func-
tions. Call at 1-800-695-7338 or visit their website at www.leggefitness.com. Healthy cells equal a healthy body.

On Thursday evening, March 25 Mike Cadman, wildlife biologist with Environment Canada shared some of his knowledge and enthusiasm for birds and trees with about 35 participants at the final NeighbourWoods Tree Talk for the fall/winter season. Kelsey Coulter, pictured with Mike, won the fitting door prize, a birdhouse donated by Greenspaces for Centre Wellington. The audience was happy to hear that many bird species are on the rise because more trees and forests are being planted. Tree Talks will resume in the fall.
