PAGE-6,,WEDNESDA1Y, MAY 14,1986, WHITBY FREE PRESS LACAC authority tested By MIKE JOHNSTON Free Press Staff Demolition of tise home of Whtby's first Mayor, James Rowe, could be the first test of the Local Architecturai Conservation, Advisory Commttee's rlgit to recommend homes for designation under the Ontarioe Heritage Act without the owners con- sent. In the past, LACAC needed the owners per- mission to designate a, building as a, Heritage Structure. But on Mon- day night, council referred a planning recommendation back to the administrative committee to which' would have seen LACAC place a high prlorlty on bringing forward recommendations for the designation of buildings moat in danger of demolition with. or without the owners permission. Designation status gives LACAC 180 days to flnd an alternative solution to demolishing a house once a démolition permit is ap- piied for. The James Rowe house is presentiy sit- ting on the site wiich McCroisan and Co. Ltd. are appiying Ito have rezoned. Thse rezoning would permit thse con- struction of a 24 unit condiminium. Speaking for the cornpany during an Administrative Committee meeting last week, Alex MacDonald told members of tise public and LACAC that tise house rnay be dernolished to make way for the con- diminlums. The house is located at 1600 Charles St. in the Port Whitby marina area. While LACAC could ask council to designate the Rowe house (a by- law must be passed for designation to be of- ficiai), Ciairman of *the LACAC, Michael Knell, said LACAC will recomrnend designation only as a last resort. III prefer negotiation and discussion," said Knell. Kneil said designation without permission would be coercion and 'lit is not my purpose to coerce citizens. "'We won't interfer in property rights in any shape or form." Kneil noted that even if LACAC recomrnended the isouse to be designated without the owners permission, it isas been the iistory of Whitby councils to require the written permission of the owner. McCrohans, and' Go. Ltd., are the present owners of the house, said Knell.

AÀ Br®D)klin Bylines By BEITY-JEAN BLYTH Cmli 655-3679 wlth Items for this column This past weekend, the media was full of articles on mothers and the one in particular that drew my attention was one in a Toronto paper on farnous mothers. They were asked what they thought made them if not perfect, at least more than adequate parents. Their replies got me to evaluating myself in that regard and it was a humiliating experience. Assuming that these Super Moms are telling the truth, I corne out as a dismal faMure. According to these working morns they always have dinner with their families every night, tuck them in bed at night, save a special time each day for each child when they qusz thern on their activities while stili allowing thernplenty of privacy. By the time 1 get home from work everyone has eaten and gone off to work, bail practice, visiting friends or whatever. As for tucking them into bed, even if I were stîli up I think they'd consider that was carrying motherly concern a bit too far. When it cornes to a special tirne for each child, I'm not sure that I can really count the mornings when we girls ail neet in the bathroorn. I mean, our conver- sation usuaily consists of "Hurry up, I have to shower too you know 1" or "Hey, that's my haîr- brush" and "Has anyone seen my pearl earrings?" Not exactly a cozy chat to say nothing of privacy 1 Oh we do ail manage to get together occassionally and then everyone talks at once to get caught up on everything. What really carne out of nîl this in- trospection was the realization that my children both natural and the varlous adopted ones that corne and go are pretty nice people in spite of my being such a lousy mother. Theres always someone available to take on the littie and some not so little jobs that need doing at home or at the shop. They buy or lend me clothes to keep me looking presentable because I neyer have Corridor Capers, mml w By MARY MCEACHERN <'ail 7258967 wigh items for this column. GARBAGE DUMP KENDALWOOD AND BURNS It's happening againI Kendalwood and Burns St. are turning into one monsterous garbage dump. Back a couple of years ago this same location was used as a dumping ground. The Town of Whitby posted signs and cleaned up the mess. All was well for qutesa wiie, but now residents are dumping al sorts of trash, at the corner. There seems to be no evidence that Whitby persons are disposing of their garbage, the cuiprits appear to be coming from Oshawa. Let it be known that we do not appreciate the trash being duntped in the area. It is quite an eyesore to anyone living on Hawkstone or Powell Rd., or for anyone using Kendaiwood and Burns St. Drastic niessures may have to be taken. time to sisop and even take me out for dianer when I'm flot up to cooklng.
