Que.in ls Plate champi'on Whitby owned There was a local connection ta last Sunday's runnmng of the Queen's Plate. Regal Discovery, upset winner of the i1 14-mile lassic at Wood- bine racetrack in Tarante, is owned by four Whitby residents. Ron and Anne Shaddock, their daughter Lesley Mnne Mcean and her husband Kirk, goalten- der for the Vancouver Canucks hockey team, joined jockey Todd Kabel in the winner's circle after the latter rode Regal Discovery ta, victary ithe. 13th running of Canada's premier horse race. A son of Regal Classic the. three-year-old bay colt was Iisted at littie more than 9-ta-i odds before the race. But Kabel was able ta over- corne a tiring*Freeom Fleet and post a 1 1/4-Ian hwmn. The Shaddocks, who are bath employed in the ral estate field, used ta own horses in the early 1980s, but sold their farm ko devote more time ta business. They re-entered the raci gameý with their daughter and son-in-law about fiîve years aga. On Monday, the. couple recei- ved a citation from Whitby Mayor*Tom Edwards prior ta the Town council meeting. Edwards noted that Whitby had an earlier connection ta, the Queen's Plate. For several years before it set- tled permanently in Toronta, the B-runelle saîd the parking lane and part of the drivig lane on the west side of Brock will b. closed during construction. ' He does not anticipte a reipeat of the problems that plagued some Dundas. Street businesses last year. Access to some stores was cut off for several days on certan sections of that street. As for this year's project Brock Street was only schedufed for resurfacingby the Town. The original $139,894 tender submittedl by Miller Paving of Oshawa was also ta have indlu- ded paving of two downtown parking lots as well as the park- i ng lot behind the Rossland Hoad municipal building. j Don't get sçtrandodl' HoUp is ut your fingertips No rcom Cellular Bell Mobility Centre 595 King St. East, Oshawa Oshawa Centre (Just Eas of Wilson) 419 King St. West 432-0088 Oshawa 571-0088 THE ON LY WAY TO GO.

Some 100 residents on several streets in West Lynde that were directly affected by the bad cable cidn't get their power restored until around 6 a.rn. May says some relaya. were inadvertently set wrong i the rush ta get the station b ak into service after the firat blackout, so the entire station shut down instead ofjust one feeder. Everythiiàg in the station has been checked and rechecked and May says hie s pretty confident" there will be no more probleme. "These things, seem.ta cornein clusters," says Maty, ini expla- ing the three blackouts. «M7ost of the problems we've had were compietely unrelated ta each other and taken alone ,thýey woulàn't have been such a major concern to us. «Three or four incidents hap- pening so close ta each other has Rot everybody a little antsy.'
