economist and sua ncwmarkevurora eraoakville beaver oshjwa this week tad mississauga news- t m s whatiiliairinihg all abbiit whats it all about alfie is a question posed by a popular song that might be the apt query to put to members of whitchurch- stouffvilie council what is planning all about anyway hamlet reprieve remember cedar valley it seems that the hamlet has been given a reprieve with acceptance t of a planning report by council the death knell was sounded for a proposed industrial park in the hamlet the study prepared by the area service branch of york region recommended that the land presently designated industrial in the official plan should be redesignated rural until the new official plan is completed for the whole of whitchufchstouffville x that along with a decision by the ontario municipal board last year should mean the end of plans for anindustrial park in that area v but neither the planning study nor the- omb decision really provides longrange protection only a hew official plan which specifically designates the area rural will provide this kind of protection for an area that is obviously unsuitable for industrial- development councillor beckey wedley asked this question rather succinctly at a recent plan ning board meeting the issue involved approval of the second phase of the felray subdivision in ballantrae she fought the approval on the grounds that it was not good planning it vioiated recommendations given by the towns planners concerning expansion of y the hamlet of ballantrae according lo the t owns official plan the hamlet is allowed 500 people a secondary plan must be drawn up if it is to grow larger than n if the second phase of the felray sub- division goes in then the population will ex- ceed the 500 limit in other words the council has ignored this the rationale is that the felray sub division is a definite asset to the community the first phase iscertainly well designed and planned that is not the question in this case the developer has been pressuring the council or some time to complete the project and this has forced a decision that the tribune feels is unfortunate if planning is to work it must be con- sistent if an official plan is a frame of reference then it must be adhered to if the town has planners they must be listened to the days when a municipality could develop like a patchwork quilt are over we

they accepted the tender for police cars put in by emerald isle motors of stouffvilie shows the strange v that decisions can change after a wrong decision is made the tendersoriginallywere opened emerald isle hadthelowestbidthe com mission decided to go along with a reebm- mendation that the third-lowest- bid be ac cepted v ithe reasons given involved the high y maintenance costs involved in the cars the force had last year- the unfortunate fact is that the tender the third lowest which was accepted from a newmarket dealership which then found it could riot honor the tender thecommission backtracked and chose to buy the cars from emerald isle atthe original price f in future we hopelhe commission is more careful when tendering if thepolice want a certain kind of car it is a simple matter to makethe specifications to that end so that other cars could not meet specifications if that is done then this kind of unfortunate flipflop will not happen again and watch the program and in

canada has the rather dubious distinction of being the only country in the world that can put on an extravaganza television program giyingaway22 million and still have it come out unutterably boring i am of- course referring to mission millions possible the fourth olympic lottery draw which was billed sarcastically i suspect as being presented live im not disputing it wasnt pretaped but after being subjected to that horrible drivel for an hour i woumsay referring to it as live was a gross exaggeration not to mention an routrightie w as one disgruntled viewer- myself commented- just v suffering through that trash you earn your million bucks there isapossibility although a very o remote one- that the programs stunning shows of this calibre arefaired it could start a j whole new trend amongst television audiences instead of everybody waiting for the commercials to head for the refrigerator or bathroom they will sit through the com mercials and then take a break when the show comes back oh also the olympic lottery theme song aired for the firsttime sunday night appears to be in no immediate danger of fritting the top 40 charts and becoming a runaway success quite often you hear arevolting song and one or two lines of it seem to get stuck in your head and keep repeating themselves until they begin to drive you sberserk fortunately whoever was responsible for writing the lottery theme it is expected the writer will remain permanently anonymous had enough cempassion for 4jie long suffering ft mluuilllk i r t mediocrity wasa carefully planned strategy meyiewers to make it so wonderfully bland r iven awav you vhaathe whole thing was forgotten instantly what with being given away you would expect a little hysteria and high blood pressure as the drawing unfolds as a public service they may have purposely kept the program so low key noone could possibly get overexcited i f if this was the purpose then it worked only too- well in- fact- considering the per- fqrniances put on7 there jwas w a very real possibility the big millidn dollar winners are was making all soils of interesting witty and urbane remarks perfectly comprehending the english announcer i could not attribute any of these things to him but was stuck with the harsh reality that hispatter was dull arid inane the french announcer a woman at least spoke with a certain amount of animation and even cracked a smile occasionally the english announcer whose range of facial expressionswere slightly more limited than charlie mccarthys delivered his lines as though he were announcing a death in the family youre probably all saying this is just sour grapes on my part because i for- the fourth time invested 10 bucks and didnt win anything that is of course untrue although i did win 100 on theiast draw a damned in- suit and i did have my heart set on the 50000 prizei no point in being greedy yv- once the number had been called i displayed great equanimity and stoicism ripping my ticket
