See details Wednesday. WEDNESDAY... What The Carpet Palace owner George Kanichis has described as a stressful rollercoast- er ride to get to this point is slowly coming to an end. Kanichis and partner Steve Klintsaris have been stymied in their bid for a new building to replace their aging structure on the southwest corner of Guelph St. at Adamson St. in Norval for the past four years. Monday night, Halton Hills council made a series of decisions full of compromises that made The Carpet Palace owners happy but left Norval Community Association president Kathy Gastle with some uncertainty. In an unanimous decision council voted: To not designate the 150-year-old building, where Anne of Green Gables author Lucy Maud Montgomery, who lived in the village for nine years in the 1930s, used to post her manuscripts. To direct staff to negotiate with The Carpet Palace owners to deconstruct the old building, so that historic pieces such as the timbers could be salvaged by those who want them To direct staff to work with the store owners to erect the new building on its existing footprint, with some minor adjustments, in order to sup- port the intent of the Norval Secondary Plan. (The Carpet Palace had to move the building to the back of the lot to accommodate Halton Regions plans for a northbound left turn lane on Adamson St. and a daylight traffic triangle). The Norval Secondary Plan, however, calls for build- ings at that intersection to be closer to the street and corner. To amend the Heritage Halton Hills (HHH) bylaw to clarify that it is an advisory committee only it will not longer hear public delegations, leaving that to the political bodies such as coun- cil. To change the heritage process related to demolition applications so that it refers to a com- plete Heritage Registry of properties and is not based on the recommendation of one delegated HHH person, such as was the case with The Carpet Palace. Staff will come back at a future meeting with a report on how to change this process.

Living in the same kingdom with different wicked stepfamilies, Cinderellas cruel stepmother and evil stepsisters make her rotate tires and polish bowl- ing trophies while her twin Bobs evil stepfather and cruel stepbrothers force him to make dried herb wreaths and organize their sock drawers. Twinderella had a few twists and turns that made the play, which was performed last night (Thursday) at John Elliott Theatre, a bit unique. Photo by Ted Brown Fight over Norval store nearing end?
