At the same time we say to ourselves although we're permitting redevelopment here we must protect the single family area on the east side of the tracks ... You have a clear-cut boundary. We're not saying a little piece in here and a little piece in there. We're separating these two uses because the single family owner deserves some protection. And in con- sidering the plan we made sure that the single family owner in Weston had that protection." About the proposed high- rise and commercial project for the John St. area: "The sort of argument that is presented is that with Lionstar we require this road. They say to put the road in we're facilitating the development. Okay, we are. But why are we facilitating it? Because Council wants the redevelopment. It wants it because it makes sense and because we need the taxes. So although we're helping the developer we're also helping ourselves as a borough." - _ _ "There are two old homes that are about a hundred years old and they're sitting on acres of land. It's not destroying anybody's home," Mr. Thompson said in reference to the development. "Both of these homes were picked up by a speculator some years ago and the speculator that picked them up turned around and sold them to this speculator (Gordon Singer of Lionstar Developments) and now he's opposing the development after he sold the properties. "Over the years the businessmen of Weston have been Very disturbed about the plazas going in on our perimeter which are taking business away from Weston. That was the prime purpose for persuading Council to go for this parking lot thing to make it convenient for the people to come and shop in Weston. So here a development is proposed for the heart of Weston which will bring in 2000 people into the area. We're bringing the plaza right into Weston and people are still com- plaining." Both men expressed concern about the increasing tax burden without redevelopment. Mr. Thompson said that while he felt homeowners are entitled to protection, at the some time he had to consider the mill rate. "After the merger with York the taxes went up a substantial amount because Weston had a lower mill rate than York. We got hit." On the official plan Mr. Allen said: "The plan wasn't pushed through. It was processed in 30 meetings involving the public and was amended because of public reaction in certain areas. The implication given by some of the ratepayers is that we said: "There it is, like it or lump it." Far from it. We involved the public at 30 meetings and majors changes were made because of public reaction." As far as the parking lot proposal is concerned, Mr. Allen asked: "Why did THE WESTON TIMES Pine Point Arena was invaded last Saturday by Cubs from the Black Creek area participating in their annual Cubaree. The theme this year was the Rodeo and each pack featured in- dividual competition. The experts showed skills in fast draw, calf roping, bucking broncos, lariet toss and rope tying. Main event was the chuck wagon race where competitors raced, pitched tents, watered the horses and served coffee to the ramrod. Pelmo pack "A" did themselves proud coming in second after lst Weston. Congratulations to the horses. Larry Halycz and Jimmy Van Bolhuis. Wagon driver Kevin Gillingham claims he didn't even need a whip. After the main event David Geldart was presented with his cyclist badge. Kevin Gillingham his personal fitness badge and Earl Granner his green star, and Robert Graham his athletes badge. Special awards, the highest available in the cubs were won by Doug Asselstene and Peter Peirson. They were both presented with engraved plaques in honour of their achievements while in the cubs. The weatherman cooperated, and the fathers had a great day slaving over the hot bar-b-guess feeding the westeners hamburgers and hot dogs, What no beans! The stands were filled with mothers and fathers who cheered heartily, a gratifying sight for the organizers. Special thanks to area residents and cub of- ficials Buster Wellwood, Don Kilby, Jim Ryder and a host of father helpers. To the - ladies section I'm told thanks have to go to Pat Archer and her crew of mothers and also Harry. +++ Pelmo Park Community Association has commenced a summer program for boys and girls. For the first time in many years a softball league has been started. Peter Aylett and his wife Kitty along with a lot of helpers said they started with only 48 kids but soon found they had gone over the hundred and were still getting more. Well done all of you. They have boys teams and girls teams so if you want to play get out to the park Mondays and Wednesadays. WESTVIEW CENTENNIAL +++ Last Saturday at the Centennial arena two proud representatives from Pelmo took part in the finals of the bicycle rodeo. Stewart Ar- cher and Linda Sullivan did not win a prize but are certainly to be com- plimented on the fact that they represented us‘there as they are the first to appear there for many years. They were chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Peter Aylett who have certainly brought life into Pelmo Park in the last few years. nobody object to the first half of it which included all the properties and included disposal of the lot? It was zoned in 1967. Everybody was notified. Nobody said a word. How can half of a thing be great and the other half rotten?" An earlier article dealt with the difference between a joint tenancy and a tenancy in common and since then we have received enquiries concerning the "breaking" of a joint tenancy. Joint ownership of land may be by either of these ways. If land is owned by John and Mary Doe, in joint tenancy, when John dies, his one-half share must go to Mary and nothing he says in his will can change this. If the land is owned in tenancy in common, John's one-half must go, 'on his death, to whoever benefits under his will. If J ohn's will leaves everything to Mary, it is as broad as it is long. However, if there is a divorce or a separation John would probably wish to leave his entire estate to another - or in trust for his children. He would, therefore, desire his one-half of the land to form part of his estate for distribution purposes. He therefore, wants to convert the joint tenancy to a tenancy in common. This he cannot do without Mary's co- operation. He can, however, achieve the same object by transferring his one-half to a third party. John can "sell" his one-half, for example, to his lawyer for $1.00, his lawyer can "sell" back to him for $1.00. This auto- matically breaks the joint tenancy and John and Mary become tenants in common. " _ r f ---' Pgfrrrysverse) (09":an A PERSONAL CALL If John draws a will properly worded, on his death, the land would have to be sold and the proceeds divided between Mary and John's estate. Needless to say, these transfers of the one-half share in the land and the drawing of the will can be done without mary's knowledge. This can, however, be a tmredged sword. Mary may die first in which case John may not inherit her one-half. The question of relative ages and states of health would have to be considered. It is not only in the case of a separation that this procedure should be followed. John may wish to provide for Mary but have doubts about her business ability. Mary may remarry and her second husband may persuade her into some unwise investment, and the proceeds of John's estate be thus dissipated. In such a case, Mary is the author of her own misfortune, but John's children will also suffer. Under such cir- cumstances, John should draw a will leaving Mary a life interest in in the estate and direct that the balance which would include the proceeds from his one-half of the tenancy in common or the entire real property depending on who died first, be held in trust for the children.
