(from page 6): Ignored by 'Kangaroo Coucl FROMPAGE6 citizens throughout several years' of turmnoil, stress, and increased family tension throughout several years of construction. Perhaps the Battens should have been this philosophical when their post office business was tbreatened. Not so," he got councîl te cry witb him and managed to con them into helping bim with a problem of a personal nature. Now we have the mayor (the plaza king) in great shape: ..had a big bowl of building permits wxth crea2m and sugar for breakfast and was able te stickhandle bis way again tbrougb the whole charade, and managed te bodycbeck Bugelli and Brunelle (as usual) inte, position. They, ý along with Drumm,. managed to flatten concillor Ernm, who really just wanted to see the thing returned te. committee, just to make certain critical areas of concern were not being overlooked in the rush te pusb it througb. Emm, after ail, was the-, only councillor who bad given any indication be bad done bis bomnework, and at least made an effort to be familiar witb what it was be was te vote on. Brunelle did ask some very good questions, he must have been taking notes during the.deputations, but, sad te- say again, no guts. Edwards gets an honorable mention,. safe as a church, but at ieast» showed he bas some guts. The North- Anderson St. residents, on the other hand, had a littie too much class.

Pzlngle Creek can run terribly' swift and deep during some January thaws and in- spring run-off it can be very dangerous for young children during these periods.- This deveiopme nt provides' for tbree scoltwo basebaîl diamonds, two soccer fields, a couple of tennis courts and a running track about four metres from thi s creek, it sure seems like a well thougbt-out plan. They are also concerned about the pollution that will be dumped into Pringle Çreek, some of it could be pretty bad stuif. 1Perhaps too distant1 be chosen1 sometime in the not future your area will te increase Whitby's bedrooms. If'so, compensation for unreasonable inconvenience and interruption of a safe and normal lifestyle should be. the order of the day. Insist that a clear message be sent to developers that they are not welcome in Whitby unless tbey are prepared te treat existing and affected residents fairly. Do you think the Kangaroo Counicil (WKC) will do this? Not likely. I repeat, no guts. Because of a quickie vote and the stroke of a pen Whitby taxes will surely increase te help this developer make his fortune, the Anderson St. residents will have te decide if tbey will go to the 0MB appeal board, ail of this because of the WKC. Perhaps a bousecleaning 18 in order.Think about it, especially in November. James H.

When Cullen Gardens accepted its responsibility of Lynde Ilouse' he not only acquired a few bun- dred thousand dollars wortb of equity, but owes every taxpayer in the region the basic requirement of preserving this monument for our children by re-investing some of the profits be is deriving -from its exhibition.i public The only other objection I have te the designation is the way tbe bouse was mounted. Prom the Taunten Rd. exposure, this is one of the -ugliest structures in Durhanm Region. Mounted atop a drab grey block structure housing the restaurant, Lynde Uouse now looks more like Dracula's Castle at sundown, complete witb bell tower, except the castie neyer bad Christmas ligbts year round.
