Council orders Collision near Wallenstein claims Kitchener man peer review of Jigs Hollow A gravel pit’s visual impact James Jackson
Kitchener man is dead following a two-car crash west of Elmira Wednesday afternoon. The head-on collision occurred around 1:15 p.m. near the intersection of Line 86 and Mallott Road, just outside of Wallenstein. 74-year-old Gerald Wagner, one of the drivers, was pronounced dead at the scene after firefighters and other emergency crews attempted to revive him using CPR. Wagner was travelling westbound on 86 when the collision occurred. A passenger in the vehicle, a 70-year-old Waterloo woman, was taken to hospital by ambulance with non-life- threatening injuries. The driver of the other vehicle, a 56-year-old West Montrose woman, was eastbound at the time of the crash and was airlifted to hospital with non-life- threatening injuries after the jaws of life were used to extricate her from the vehicle. There were no other passengers in the car. Sgt. Mike Hinsperger of the Waterloo Regional Police traffic services division said police are still investigating the cause of the crash, but say alcohol, speed, weather and road conditions

esidents opposed to a gravel pit proposed for Winterbourne won a small victory this week, as Woolwich council pressed to have a visual-impact study reviewed by a third party. The move counters a planning staff recommendation against forcing a peer review of a study previously submitted by Kuntz Topsoil, Sand and Gravel. Staff maintained its position there would be “no unacceptable visual impacts” from the pit, planned for 125 Peel St. In a split decision May 24, however, councillors vote 3-2 in favour of the peer review, siding with residents who argued both the applicant’s consultant and township staff had failed to identify the full extent of what a gravel pit would look like in the midst of the pastoral Winterbourne Valley. The decision follows a persuasive presentation last month > SEE GRAVEL ON PG. 06
