PAGE 8, WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 1984, WHITBY FREE PRESS No seule ment with developer.... Court fight likely over Brooklin, Herrema says The fight between the Region of Durham and the developers of the now defunct Brooklin expansion scheme will probably end up in court, according to Region Chairman Gary Herrema. Herrema told the Free Press on Monday that discussions with the developers have not been successful. "We can't get it resolved," he said, "There will be some court action, taken before .a settlement is reached." The region wants $1.2 million from the developer to improve the water supply system in Brooklin. Durham currently holds a $2.1 million letter of credit from the developer which was secured when the region gave its final approval to the project. However, it cannot cash the letter for at least another year. "We still want the $1.2 million," Herrema said, "That will service water in Brooklin." Somer Rumm, vice- president of First City Development Company Ltd., one of the partners in the scheme, declined to make comment on the dispute last Monday.

Brok1lin Bylines By BETTY-JEAN BLYTH Cali 655-3679 with items for this column Recently I attended a special appreciation night held by Burns Kirk Guild where strawberry shor- teake and a musical program was served up to all the loyal supporters. The Oshawa Sweet Adeline quartet "Rythmn ii 2's" gave a delightful perfor- mance but the piece de resistance of the evening was a musical collaboration between two Myrtle residents. The song exemplifies the spirit of cooperation that exists between the various communities which comprise the Town of Whitby in spite of our frequent "family squabbles". But even more, the composers exemplify our feeling of family that transends the generation gap. You see, the com- poser of the music is a gifted ten year old, Janet Stachow while her partner who contributed the lyrics is senior citizen Dorothy Manderson. This is their song and under the circumstances, I think it deserves to be adopted as our official theme song. The Marigold Song Music by Janet Stachow Words by Dorothy Manderson VERSE I Marigolds, marigolds all over town, As far north as Myrtle and all the way down To Port Whitby harbour and Thickson Point too. We see them in Brooklin, what a colourful view! VERSEIl Marigolds, marigolds all over town, We love your bright bonnets and leafy green gowns.

PARENTS LIFESAVER Bringing up a family develops character, if not the child's, definitely the parents as they try to cope with all the problems that develop while rearing children. The library has provided a special "Parent's Shelf" that contains books which pertain to these problems and can help see a harried parent through the trauma of everything from toilet training to the trials of puberty. So if you find your- self becoming a character instead of developing one, help is no further away than your library.
