OTTAWA A popular trail near Cornwall is at the centre of controversy this week, as maintenance along some areas of the path far outgrew its boundaries. It was gut-wrenching. Absolutely gut-wrenching, said South Glengarry resident Bruce Kennedy, describing what he saw over the weekend along the Peanut Line Trail. On Saturday, we saw an excavator working here, taking large portions of the tress along the trail out. We asked the operator what he was doing. He said he was doing some brush work within six feet of the edge trail, but it was clear more was being taken, said Kennedy.
