By Chris Doyle A convoy which followed the pro posed route of the super conducting su per collider through Wayne and Mon roe counties apparently went off without a hitch Saturday, according to the or ganizers and the Monroe County Sher- rif 8 Department. Although organizers had estimated that perhaps as many as 1,000 vehicles would participate in the demonstration, a CATCH (Citizens Against the Col lider Here) spokesperson said they counted just over 200 vehicles traveling though Penfield at the peak of the con voy’s procession. Captain John Perrone of the Monroe County Sheriffs Department Zone A, said Monday that the procession was “very orderly” and there were no traffic tie-ups or problems as a result of the convoy. CATCH members organized the con voy to show how many properties and people would be affected by the pro posed location of the 53-mile SSC tun nel through Wayne and Monroe coun ties. The^jayoyAlsoprovided an^qppor- tunity to^dW state and f^erd dificials the strength of the opposition.to the collider. Wilma Young, a member of CATCH’s core group, said, “I think things went really well.” She said the group was . pleased with the number of people who participated despite Saturday being one of the last shopping days before Christ mas. The group does not plan to hold any more demonstration or meetings until at leaet.tha second, January. Bat that could change if the federal go vernment's list of collider site finalists should contain the Monroe-Wayne site. The list is expected to be released some time between January 6 and 11. “If we’re on that short list, a tre mendous amount of people will come out opposing this site. What we’ve done up to now is small time (in compari son),” she said. Dunng the convoy, John Ferrante of Williamson estimates his son Chris topher played the CATCH protest song “We Don’t Want It Here” over 90 times during the 4Vfe-hour nde. The song was written by LeeStramomne and sung by Lee, her husband Joe, Mark Hermann and Brad Southworth, all of the local Shortbread Band. The Shortbread Band first performed the protest song at the November family jamboree held at the Ontario Firemen’s Hall Over $3,000 was raised at the jamboree to support the Citizens Against The Collider Here (C A T C H ) effort to stop the W a y n e / Monroe site from being selected for the SSC The Shortbread Band later re corded the song in a studio at their own expense and gave the CATCH organi zation permission to sell copies as a (C o n tinued on page 2) i: ■r £ I O n e S o l i t a r y L i f e H , ^ ^ .e w a s born in an obscure v illage, the child of a peasant wom an.

The poem actually has tracings back to medieval times. And the poet to this day remains anonymous. The poem is the centerpiece for the Radio City Music Hall s The Magnificent Christmas Spectacular\ concluding piece, The Living Nativity. The show is playing through January 6 m New ^ We all need to be reminded as the busy holiday season begins, all we do and celebrate at this wonderful time of the year wonderously sprung forth from that moment in Bethlehem nearly 2000 years ago. Happy Holidays!
