Cherly Van Waterschoot, of Fothergili Ct., located off Dundas St. W., west of the White Oaks apartments, says she and ber family moved -to Wbitby from Mississauga because of the small town atmospbere and efforts by the Town and communit4 mem- bers to preserve Whitb s heri- Whnthe Van Waterscboot family bought their Wbitby home, they were told by the developer that the Fothr il1 House would be moved to tC end of the street, near Dundas St., because it was registered as a bistorical house. "Who would have thought they would abandon the, proj.ect at this point,"Y says Van Waters- choot, who says the property has been neglected and has become " an eyesore." She also says she bas seen hNyouths breaking into the. bouse. FConcerned that the house is "an 71I attractive nuisance for kids," Van Waterschoot also fears th e IFathergili House could become a g"crack house. "I've seen it happen in *Toronto."» Idntwn rc She adds, Idntwnacrk b ouse at the end of my street.» Previously, Van Waterschoot called the Town planning depart- Iment and Mayor Bob Attersley about the condition of the pro- perty.and how it had beaome a dumping ground. She says a "no dumping" sign was posted and that last year th e dirt was leveled, belping to im- prove the site. However, she ascertains that the bouse has been abandoned by the owner, and although e ffrts h ave been made to board the windows, it remains an "eye- sore. We do everything we can to keep our bouse attractive outside and in. The Fothergili House is an embarrassment to our neigh- borhood. It takes away from tbe pride of the neighborhood.» According to Van Waterschoot, sbe bas calied the mayor tbree times to inquire wbat the Town can do about the property ane, the historical bouse. Because the house is privately owned, she was told t he Town could do notbing except to enforce its property standards bylaw. Altbougb Van Waterschoot says Attersley told ber the Town would write a "strong letter"-to the owner to dlean up the pro- perty and that tbe Town would sue if the land was not kept in accordance to the property stan- dards bylaw, she says she feels the Town doesn't seem to care about the conditions of the bouse. "It's really frustrating when you go to the top and they don't seem to care." She adds, "I wish someone would do something about it."

The other day a customer was telling us that her No Wax floor was Iosing its lustre. "Is there anything 1 can do to get the shine back?" she asked. Fortunately there is. What had happened is that the grit carried in on the bottomn of shoes had over a period of time gradually -ground the protective coating off the floor. The resuit was a Ioss of shine, and dirt becorning imbedded in her floors which was flot readily removed. The solution to the problem lay in giving the floor a thorough scrubbing using AIRX 66 heavy duty cleaner, rinsing the floor with clear cold water, and coating the floor with a high grade polymer floor finish (we recommend Butcher's Benchmark). The resuits are spectacular - a durable wet-Iook shine with a minimum of effort. Should you wax your no wax floor? We think so. A thin protective coating of a high grade floor finish wilI not only protect your floor against abuse but give you a constant shine that you can be proud of.

He says the area is "somewhat. better" now that the land bad been improved. «It was a' mess," says Atters- e also says the bouse was idproperly boarded up» over the lastfe:wweeks. "I don't think anyone can get it now."ý But the inayor also says it is always a problemn getting tbe owner of a historical landxnark to do soznetbing witb it. He adds that he "personally,» is «not happy" with the Fother- gi House situation but tbat other tban enforcing the property standard bylaw, the Town bas no "clout on that property. "I'd just as soon see tbe bouse fixed up and used," says Atters- ley. "Ijt's up to the owner to do sometbing witb it." He adds, "It's the same story: If we level the bouse, we'l bave the people screaming because we leveled a histoiical site." Altbougb there is nothing the Town can do about the Fotherg'ill House itself, the mayor rein- terates that the Town will con- tinue to enforce its bylaws. "We'll be on top of it, especially wben the summner comes, to make sure tbe grass is cut and the grounds are kept up." Attersley also recommends that if Van Waterschoot or any other resident sees people break- ing into the bouse, that they cali the police.
