In the past. the fence was used to stop people from entering the race track area of the park and thus gain free ad- mission to the fair. It -was removed this year because it was in a state of disrepair and bas not been replaced. In a letter to tbe town, Jack Woodward, secretary treasurer of the Brooklin Spring Fair Association, informed the town that if a fence is not erected, problems could arise regarding the fair's security and liability for public safety. "If we're cbarging Transit problems solved? By MIKE JOHNSTON *Free Press Staff The operations com- mittee has made a second recommen- dation to council which the members hope will finally solve the problems of Goodfellow St. residents wbo do not want the Witby trar'sit bus travelling along their street. The committee had made a, recommen- dation at last week's council meeting, after bearing from spokesMan Joseph Czulinski'that 23 of the 25 households on the street opposed to the bus travelling on the street and to a turning circle which was constructed at the end of the street on Rossland Rd. The turning circle was built when residents on Ren- field Cres. complained after the bus started using their street as' a FROM PG. 31 turning point. However, the recoin- mendation was referred back to the committee by council after coun- cillor Joe Bugelli asked council to look into the possiblity of reducing the speed limit on the street to 40 kDh, erectinvr a sign restricting heavy vehicles and other ways of restricting vehicles. Councillor Bugelli made the additions after residents said the street - whicb connects the Ot- ter Creek area with Rossland Rd. - was being. used by large vehicles involved in construction on Rossland Rd. The committee bas recommended to coun- cil that stop signs be erected at: Rossland Rd. and Goodfellow for eastbound traffic, Good- fellow and Rossland Rd. for northbound traffic, Goodfellow and McQuay Blvd. for soutbbound traffic and a stop sign on McQuay Blvd. and Goodfellow. 1A stop sign bas already been placed on the turning circle to stop the buses as they leave the circle and enter Goodfellow St. In addition to recomf- mending stop signsý, the committee bas also recommended that Goodfellow St. be signeêd for no beavy traffic çx- cept the buses and those vehicles making .Ipcal deliveries, that, a speed survey be côènducted and a report of tIle sur- vey be brouglit to coun- cil's attention witb any further recommen- dations to slow traffic and that the Durham1 Regional Police be1 asked to patrol and en- force the speed limit and the heavy vehicle restriction.

He got back bis self-confidence and bas neyer been happier." "Children at Buraside progress at their own rate in the core subjec- ts. If the curriculum doesn't fit their needà,- the curriculum la altered or expanded un- tiI it does fit their needs,"' explains Mrs. Wilson. This means that a brigbt cbild can save a year or more on bis elementary curriculum - witbout the trauma of skipping a grade or trying to do the work of two grades in one year. It also means that slow children neyer have to experience the stigma of repeating a grade, tbey simply take an ex- tra year or two to finish the elementary curriculum at their own pace. Small size doesn't mean inadequate equipment, tbougb.' Mrs. Wilson is proud of the school's equipment. You'Il find teacber aids such as theSRA reading series, computer programs and television programs. Art materials and basic science equipment are ail available. Each child bas bis own up-to-date textbooks. Pupils learn ,,,how to find their own resource material when thé,. school visits the local.. library. Mrs. Wilson favours physical education 'activities such as swimnming and skating wbich are done at nearby comhmunity facilities. Burnside Academny bas a number of unique features. Each montb there's an excursion deliberately picked to complement the Social Studies or Science topics. being studied. Burnside offers French instruction for al grades.
