Phillips, 27, was responsible for organizing several successful downtown promotions, starting in June 1986 with the Downtown Discovery Days, featuring an ap- pearance at the four corners by boxer Shawn O'Sullivan. She remnembers how nervous she was before thatpromotion -until she saw "tons of people down- town." .Phillips said she always believed the downtown had potential -it was that comment which prompted Buffett to consider her as a student manager of the BIA. And after the success ofthat first promotion, others were held. "Finally it seemed Whitby's downtown was a great place to shop," said Phillips, who says mer- chants joined the cooperative ef- fort, spruced up their store fronts and participated in BIA committee work. "There's 'a feeling we'ire1 one now," said Phillips, of the 350- member organization. She. says she'll miss the 1"people and the excitement" and the enor- mous feeling of accomplishment frorn the various promotion ideas. However, she adds: "I'm going to corne back as much as I can. I feel like I got roots in this communitY."

GEORGINA PHILLIPS New office supply store opens downtown By EMILY PARE The golden rule that Bill Jarrett follows is that his new store, Marigold Office Concepts, serves smnall business as well as retail customers. The uniqueness of the store is that it's not just a store, says Jarrett, but a "concept" that establishes a special relationship with each client to provide them with the office supplies they need. "Marigold provides the choice needed for Whitby people looking for office supplies, " le says. Marigold will receive inventory on a daily basis until clients are assessed. "Whitby is growing and it's ob- vious it will grow more," says Jarrett, who is located on Dundas St. W. near the four corners. The store opened Oct. 1 and so far, Jarrett explains, "We are ex- tremely optimnistic. "The acceptance'level is better than what was expected, " le says . After graduating from Gr. 1:3, Jarrett became a salesman in a stationery manufacturing corn- pany. There he was told that if he wanted to get ahead, he had to go back to sehool. So he studied at the Canadian In- stitute of Management for four years. He has had 20 years in the stationery manufacturing business. After three years as a resident of Whitby while working for a stationery business in Pickering, Jarrett wanted his own business. "There are no affiliations, we are a one-man business," he says of Marigold. Choosing a location for the Whit- by store was not hard -where he is, was Jarrett's fi rst and only choice. And of the future success of his new enterprise, he says, 'You create your own luck. Subdivision proposed Two-story, aIl-brick homes b)et- ween 2,500 and 3,500 sq. ft. will make up a 40-lot subdivision proposed by Tysonville Construc- tion Ltd. north of Rossland Rd. W., east of Whitburn St. The details were part of an in- formation session given by Tyson- ville representatives at a recent public meeting. An earlier public meeting was cancelled after coun- cillor Joe Bugelli complained of lack of information. Forty-metre lots will be between the proposed homes and existing homes along Whitburn, according to a planning consultant. He said the density of the subdivision is also below the maximum allowed for the property. A teenporary road access to Rossland was also mapped out in the subdivision plan. Town planner Paul Rycroft, responding to criticism by councillor Joe Bugelli about -*presumptuous" planning by the developer. said the Region of Durham is encouraging only one access on the north side of Rossland for ail threc subidivisioni properties there.and so had discussed road patterns with Tvsonvi île plaftrs. ,lv,-rof I sîoi lei' Ielgl)t n t road patterns anîd servicing for the area established before construc- tion on Rossland takes place in 1988. The depth of lots beside Rossland was aIse of concern to one nearby resident. Rycroft said the Region was considering lesser widenings but that the reduced depth of lots in the subdivision beside Rossland would still be addressed in a forth- coming planning report. Another nearby resident com- plained that the plan "doesn't fit the rest of the subdivision" area. Comments from other agencies will be made before a report and recommendation is made by Town planning staff.
