PAGE 10, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1984. WHITBY FREE PRESS CLOCA offering chance to observe migrating birds at Cranberry Marsh Fall migration is well underway and residents of Durham Region can see many species of bir- ds as they congregate on their way south for the winter. One of the best places in the region to see these migrants is at Lynde Shores Conservation Area. The heart of the area is Cranberry Marsh, an important stopover for upwards of two dozen different kinds of water- fowl. There is also a variety of other water and land birds to be seen here. This Sunday (Sept. 23), the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority will host a waterfowl viewing day at Lynde Shores Con- servation Area. The public is invited to attend tours of the area led by authority staff anytime between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. One of the highlights will (hopefully) be a look at the Trumpeter Swan cygnets raised there this year. This swan is an endangered species which is being re- introduced to Ontario by means of a "foster parent program" using the common Mute Swans. Visitors are asked to meet at the conser- vation area parking lot located on the south side of Victoria St. (also known as Baseline or Bayly St.) east of Durham Regional Road 23 (watch for sign). For further infor- mation on this and other upcoming programs, contact Steve LaForest at the authority office at 579-0411. Victorian Order of Nurses, Durham Region Branch, requires the services of special volunteers. Men and women volunteers are needed in the Durham Region to visit patients in their own homes - to be part of the special support patients require to maintain recovery and dignity. Volunteers are mat- ched carefully on a one- to-one with clients. They may chat, read, go for a walk - all bringing the outside world and war- mth to the client. Anyone interested in being a volunteer is asked to call the VON Office at 571-3151. Bright colours for summer? Bright colours for winter? Discover what YOUR seasonal colours are.

To this date, the Corridor Area Ratepayers Association has taken no official position on the matters discussed, simply because we have yet to be asked. The wording of the article was correct in substan- ce that Dennis Fox is a former president of the Corridor Area Ratepayers Association but it leaves an. impression that should be corrected. At the an- nual general meeting in May, 1984 Mr. Fox was defeated in a bid to run a second term as president and shortly thereafter resigned his membership of the association. I was elected president at that meeting on the platform of seeking ways to contribute positively to the development of Whitby east of Anderson St. by retaining the single family residential nature of the area. While we support the ur«fortunately too frequent efforts of residents to persuade home builders and developers to live up to their promises, there Is a time when common sense has to prevail. We under- stand the rights of council to revise landscaping requirements where lot size dictates less than one tree outside every lot. We cannot understand, -. however, how home buyers are permitted to occupy houses that are substantially incomplete, with no exterior finish or lacking floor coverings; if these situations truly exist then the council must play a role. It is too easy to comment that a house purchase is a personal contract between builder and purchaser but I have personally experienced that building in- spectors were invented in the first place to give the home buyer some protection. The Corridor Area Ratepayers Association are prepared to become involved in assisting where possible when approached to encourage Whitby Council, or any other regulatory body to stand up to it's responsibilities, but only in cases which make sense ... we are not prepared to pursue a confron- tation approach for no good purpose. The second aspect of my platform for election was to encourage the participation of the association in community affairs. To this end we have offered to fund any Neighbourhood Watch organization set up within the Corridor Area, i.e. east of Anderson St., and in fact Bluegrass Meadows North has suc- cessfully started with the financial backing of the ratepayers. We are waiting for others! In conclusion, I would recommend that those in- terested in improving the corridor area contact one 'of our executive. We have been active for 10 years 'and intend to continue for a long time to come in a progressive and responsible manner in contributing to Whitby positively. We encourage residents of Whitby East of Ander- son St. to become not only members but also active participants in a responsible association for the benefit of themselves and their neighbours. Yours truly, Colin W. Duddridge. President, Corridor Area Ratepayers Association.
