THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, APRIL 3,2002 PAGE 3 i One of the most I popular members of royal family passes away ONE from page l the Queen Mother's 100th birthday. Me recalled one of her many visits to Ontario and how he was trying to keep the engagements on schedule. They were running a bit late one evening on their way to a posh function and Mr. Borosa was concerned. He remembered remembered the Queen Mother saying simply, simply, "Waller, they're not going to start without me." But it was during the Second World War the regard for the Queen Mother, as a symbol to be venerated, was entrenched in the minds of her subjects in Canada and throughout the British Commonwealth. Long considered considered one of the most popular members of the royal family, she showed courage when Buckingham Palace was bombed. "I'm glad we've been bombed," she said after her home sustained damage during the Nazi blitz. "It makes me feel I can look the East End (of London) London) in the face." And when asked if her children, the future monarch Princess Elizabeth and her younger sister Princess Margaret (who died Feb. 9 at age 71, seven weeks to the day before her mother) would leave England for safer places like Canada, the Queen Mother was concise. "The children will not leave unless I do. I shall not leave unless their father father docs, and the King will not leave the country in any circumstances whatever." But it is the 1939 Royal Tour, the first time a reigning British monarch had visited North America, that remains remains clear in so many Durham Region Region memories. As the storm clouds of war were gathering in Europe, that brief stop in Whitby struck a chord with the people of communities about to face six years of war and all the sacrifices that would mean. No exceptions made for court parking Council denies request, citing safety concerns CLARINGTON - The municipality municipality will not make exceptions to a noparking noparking rule for residents whose homes face onto cul-de-sacs or turning turning circles despite residents' requests. requests. Last week the general purpose and administration committee voted to turn down requests to allow residents overnight parking in the courts during during times of the year when snow removal removal is not an issue. In September, residents of Sum- merlea Court in Courtice requested an exemption be made to Clarington parking bylaws because overnight guests had nowhere to park due to the close proximity in the court between driveways. Although Clarington has a parking bylaw prohibiting on-street parking between 3 and 5 a.m.,, the residents felt since the court is not a throughway, there is no necessity to clear it of cars overnight. However, on the advice of both the Clarington traffic management advisory committee and emergency and fire services, council denied the request citing safety concerns. Residents Residents are not the only ones requiring access, according to Tony Cannella, director of engineering services. "All municipal streets, including courts, are used by larger vehicles such as hydro, garbage, recycling, delivery vehicles and snowplows which require require a larger turning radius than passenger passenger vehicles," he said. Mr. Can- nclla also advised against allowing residents and their guests to park in the middle of the courts, noting there is no municipality he is aware of that allows this practice. Council was expected to ratify the decision at its Tuesday, April 2 meeting. meeting. BRINGS BACK PRICES FROM THE 1960's A „ ; ONTARIO WALLCOVERINGS, .BEAU PORT TRUCK LOAD .89 per. 15 ft.
