BECKER The Sun Journal Community News Coordinator NORTH CANTON - The City of North Canton lias been forced into the role of Devils' advocate. An injury to a person sled riding at Dead Man's Hill has brought an end to a long-standing tradition of winter fun. Dead Man's Hill, as it is fondly referred to by residents, is a very popular attraction, for kids and adults alike, as one of the beBt places to go sledding in the city. The area, which is along Woodside Avenue and bordered on three sides by private property, is actually a storm water retention basin for the city. According to Mayor Daiyl Revoldt, a city resident came to the council meeting on Jan. 24 with a complaint about Dead Man's Hill, saying that his daughter-in-law had been injured while sled riding there. "We interpreted his comments as a threat to take legal action. I feel badly that we were forced to move in that direction, but the threat of litigation forced us to do this," said Revoldt. What the city has done, upon advice of the law director and assistant law director, is to put up no trespassing signs along the property. "It is city property, not a public park, said Revoldt. "We can't encourage the use of the area. If we encourage action, then we assume a greater responsibility."
