WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY., SEPTEMBER 29,1976, PAGE 7 There are days in my grubby little life I care not to remember. Usually, those are the days when nothing seems to go right. But, naturally, everything is going wrong-my way. Take, for instance, a day like 'Monday. Around eight o'clock in the morning I woke up, just to find out that I had forgotten to close my window the previous night. Because of that, my "reception area" (where I usually answer my telephone calls) was flooded-water all over the place from the early morning rainstorm. Unperturbed, I got out of my bed and headed for the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. Much to my chagrin, I soon found out that there was no coffee left -I had used up all my coffee supplies. Now fully dressed, I dashed out of my apartment, heading straight for the parking lot. Minutes later, I discovered I had left my car keys in the apartment. Once again, a Lion's dash back to B-3. And, guess what? A new, Corridor Capers A lot serverance workshop was held at Dr. Robert Thornton School on Wednesday, September 22nd. The purpose of the workshop was to obtain public input so that a policy can be ~adopted for separation of land owned by existing residents. The proposals the Planning Department suggested would be lots of minimum of 50' by 100' or 70' by 100' in low density residential areas. Separation of lots depend on four important factors: 1. that a policy for separations be fornulated. 2. that the retained lot does not contravene the existing by-law 1784. 3. that a survey prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor would be required to accurately map out the locations, Words o aWest de with Norm Mealing We try to steer a non-controversial course when putung together this columrn. Most times I an not very successful, and, as a result of my comments last week, I seem to have sparked some debate on the use of the school iin the evenings, and, in doinrg so, brought into question the accuracy of some of my facts. First of all, the group involved in the fight over the use of the school was the Guides and not the Brownies. Secondly, the Cubs have known since the end of June that they were going to have only half of the gym on Wednesday nights. Thirdly, the Cubs were offered half McANU TOA OPTCA Bol j hlsmi m lid( r VIiib M ll,57 4 ,3 Kalnins On.j size and area of any proposed or existing lot. 4. that the proposed lots are served by both sanitary and water services. The workshop, in my opinion, was a huge s.uccess, Residents will know exactly what might happen if Council adopt the Planning Department's suggestions. The Planning Department have further informed me the subject of lot separation will be discussed on October 4, 1976, at 8:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, in conjuction with the Administrative Coniittee meeting. The Town of Whitby Planning Departmrent are to be congratulated for their excellent display at Dr. Robt. Thornton School. Dr. Charles Godfrey, M.P.P., and Regional Councillor Gerry Ernn are also to be congratulated. Both of these politicians attended the workshop at Dr. Robert Thornton School to determine, first-hand, just what their constituents may expect in the near future, with respect to lot separation. Jovial Paradise Subdivision A public meeting or workshop will be held for the purpose of residents' iiput concerning Jovial Paradise subdivision. The plan of subdivision is located between of* the gyn on Monday nigh ts along with the suggestion that they split the Cub pack into two groups. Fiurther, the Comnittec vhich advises on the after-hours use of the school lias several menbers, including a representative froim the school, the Y.'·.C.A., the Recreation Department. the West Lynde Community Association, as well as a number of people chosen to represent the community at large. Their aim as far as the use of the school is to max imize its utilization by groups from ithe community. On the particular issue at hand, i.e.. tie Cubs vs. the Guides, the Advisory Committee will mcet to hear a second appeal from the Cubs for the full use of the gym on Wednesdav nights. The registration for the Cubs is 47, and this is clearly too many youngsters for hall' of a gym. From an examination of the timetable, it wou ld appear that time could be found to accomodate both lithe Cubs and the Guides. It wil, however, require some give and take, and some tough decisions on the part of the Advisory Conmittee. Those decisions will have to be made by the Committee minus those members who have grim discovery: I had locked myself out of the apartment. Fortunately, the landlady was aþle to help me out with her master key. Still unperturbed, I drove to the nearby restaurant, hoping to fetch my favorite dry toast and coffee. As soon as I entered the restaurant, Gail (my favorite waitress) informed me: "You can have the cup of coffee, but our toast machine is out of order". Needless to say, that was better than having been turned away with hunger and thirst. My next trip was to the dry cleaners. The old lady looked at one of my shirts, lifted it up closer to the window and then made a brief pronouncement: "I'm sorry, but this shirt can't be washed". "Why not?" I wondered aloud. Back came a swift answer: "It's too dirty. We cannot assume the responsibility.....I suggest, you wash it yourself". Luckily enough, the remaining of my laundry was okayed, thus saving me from further headaches. Going to the photo lab should cause no problems, I was thoroughly convinced. "Good afternoon", said the rather cheerful counter clerk, "What's your name?" I spelled out my name, letter by letter. "Sorry, Mr. Kalinis", she intoned "but I'm afraid your order is not ready yet". Despite the correction of my name, I quickly learned that my order actually was not ready. I produced a faint smile and left the photo lab in a jiffy. Still unperturbed, I decided to go ahead with my last assignment of the day. The assignment envelope clearly spelled out my duties in typically phrased newspaper jargon: "Get a pix at Terminal A of Norway's Crown Bowman ~Street and Elizabeth Cres. The • Planning Director's report indicates the development contains apart- ments, street town houses, semis and single family detached homes. No doubt the people living in the area will receive a notice regarding time and location. It seems that I am always reporting on development, but then what else is happening in the Corridor Area? The Ratepayers Association appeared before the Operations Committee on Monday, September 20th. Their request was that the Town consider providing some form of affordable transportation for our seniors and handicapped persons. The Operations Committee members agreed there was a dire need to assist this segmerit of our population obtain desirable transportation. They promised to look into the matter and, if legally possible, would try to comply with our request. Iopefully, at least our seniors and handicapped may be able to acquire transportation within their financial means. Remernber the Corridor Capers Dance on Friday, October 22.

Mary McEachern an interest in any of the groups in conflict, because not only does justice have to be done, it has to appear to be donc. One final comment is also in order. Although I understand that organizationally Cubs and Guides and Brownies are separate, I have, as I imagine most people have, always thought of them as part of the Scouting movement. Despite their organizational separateness, I think that they shou!d cooperate to resolve this difference of opinion which appears to many as a sort of family squabble.

Make sure you get him together with his former body guard. He will be there to meet hlm". Now, this should be easy, I thought to myself, I should have a whale of a time-at the airport. Quickly, I found a parking spot. Next, I found myself on the arrivals level asking for the Prince's arrival time. The officious looking characters tried to ignore me, but one kind soul suggested I go upstairs to the Department of Transport information booth. -"Oh, the Crown Prince", sighed one grayhaired information officer, "well, he's not coming here. He should be arriving at Terminal B (Air Canada building)". Immediately, I realized my instructions were wrong. I had five minutes left to make my way to the Air Canada Terminal. I covered the distance from Terminal A to Terminal B in four minutes and thirty seconds. Finally, I stopped the RCMP officer at the upper lever: "Have you seen Norway's Crown Prince?" "Why? Of course", he gallantly obliged, "Here he comes". At this precise moment, I grabbed rny camera and rushed towards the Prince and his entourage. One shot and it seemed to be like a good picture-the Prince smiling and waving at some of his fans. Back home, I quickly developed the role of film I had shot at the airport. In horror, I noticed that the very last frame -on my roll of film was blank. Further investigation revealed that my electronic flash had failed to expose the negative. At this point, I realized that Monday really wasn't my day. I wish somebody had told me that at eight o'clock in the morning. DO IT.
