"We came to a point where we had to close it down because we were not making a go of it at that location," said Captain Roy Langer, executive director of National Recycling Operations for the Salvation Army in Toronto. Langer is directly responsible for 14 Thrift Stores, includâ€" ing Oakville. The endâ€"ofâ€"October closing of the Salvation Army Thrift Store in Bronte came as a result of the shop being too small, and too hidden away, to be profitable.

We would bring in about $3,000 a month, and our expenses were about $10,000." Langer said the closing has been "put off" for some time by the Salvation Army.

(Photo by Riziero Vertolli) Some residents were opposed to the plan because they believe it will impose a procedure that makes many mundane improvements to their homes more inconvenient, timeâ€"conâ€" suming and expensive. What it boiled down to was residents‘ resisâ€" tance to being forced to submit to a system which they felt was wholly unnecessary and acutely subjective. What some called "good neighbors sense" was enough, they said. In late September, Council spent almost three hours debating the matâ€" ter only to defer it again so that peoâ€" ple living within the area could be more informed about the implicaâ€" tions of a heritage designation. Only 19 people attended the fifth and final public meeting held Oct. 26th and most of those supported the plan. Those who had earlier requested exclusions simply reiterated thelr position. According to a report prepared by Town planner Bruce Bellows, howâ€" ever, the plan "provides the basis for sensitive conservation management and protection of the area‘s heritage features." Among its many compoâ€" nents are "guidelines that are intendâ€" ed to guide property owners in carâ€" ing for and maintaining their herâ€" itage buildings and guidelines for alterations, restoration, reconstrucâ€" tion, building additions and new construction." In short, a "minimum standard of appropriateness for change" within the area. "Hopefully that issue died 25 years ago and won‘t come up again," said Gough, explaining that oneâ€"way streets would not enhance the her itage nature of the streets. The Trafalgar Road Corridor Study only reinforces this, she added. scheme Monday night after years of tinkering and discussion, settling on a district which is much smaller than originally proposed and excludes several contentious properties. Trafalgar Chartwell Residents Association (TCRA) spokesman Terry Smith said a recent vote by his group‘s directors was unanimous in favor of the plan. "We think it fits with the Town‘s commitment to heritage," said Smith, maintaining it is a logical extension of the First and Second Heritage Districts. Lynne Gough, Manager of the Town‘s Long Range Planning Section, said approval of the Heritage District will allow the Town to offer the public much greater assurances that streets like Trafalgar Road will not be widened. When asked by Ward 5 councillor Liz Behrens what the impact would be on the old proposal to turn Trafalgar Road and Reynolds Street into oneâ€"way roads, Gough stated that was virtually a closed book. Smith said he believes most of the opposition to the plan arose from the idea of individual rights versus collective rights. He said there was a misunderstanding that a heritage disâ€" trict forced homeowners to do things and not simply act as a mechanism for advice regarding preservation. The study â€" which began in earnest two years ago to define an area within Old Oakville as a Heritage Conservation District under the Ontario Heritage Act â€" has been kicking around since 1989. At that time the area was bigger and encomâ€" passed approximately 700 properâ€" ties. The final plan which came before Council now includes only about 190 properties in a tract roughly bounded by Dunn Street, the Sixteen Mile Creek and Trafalgar Road on the west, Spruce Street on the north, Reynolds Street and a portion of Allan Street on the east and Sumner Street on the south. During the past couple of months this outline was further revised in order to exclude several residential properties and Trafalgar Lodge. November 23, 1994
