likely review its zoning bylaws once york region completes it official plan in september said the towns chief administrative officer last week merlin dewing told the tri bune that land zoning within the community of stouffville will have to be reviewed once the region formulates its offi cial plan a document which will affect and determine future growth in all nine area municipalities that means local bylaws which set rules and regulations regarding lot size height and uses on each piece of land could be changed or amended in some areas dewing said right now its difficult to set a bylaw which deters natural growth he said but added a secondary plan within the com munity could call for an over haul of the towns zoning and accompanying bylaws dewing said the town will have no choice but to take a total look at town zoning once york has completed its official plan he said setting up a sec ondary plan of the communitys zoning is expensive and time- consuming and is only one option to consider dewing said he is aware of some local controversy sur rounding the construction of a home on a 5cfoot lot on church street but added the town is merely a watchdog of the cur rent laws if a secondary plan is consid ered in the next few years how ever bylaws could be changed to restrict the size of lots or sev erances in certain areas of town and the size of houses to be con structed on those lots zoning will be looked at theres no question of that but york regions official plan will dictate our timing he said anything can happen he concluded york police reach deal a scoial contract

somalia kate gilderdale correspondent its one thing to read about the horrific reality of life in somalia its quite another to experience it first hand for stouffville resident faye rosenberger the deci sion to offer her services as a relief worker in the region was reinforced by speakers she had heard at church services throughout the year and by her strong conviction that god intended her to go my team leader in somalia goes to the eastern pentecostal bible college in peterborough i met him through a joint service led bj eastern students and trent students explained rosenberger who graduat ed from trent university earlier this year he went in november came back in december and wanted to take a team of people out there rosenberg er left for somalia on may 18 and spent about two weeks in mogadishu before being evacuated following a renewed outbreak of fighting i was working with the teachers inone school upgrading their english and also working with chil dren in physical education programs she said our work there was mostly aid relief the devasta tion she encountered in the once beautiful city was overwhelming she added but other aspects of life were not as bad as she had anticipated in november and december people were starving but when the military moved in in late december con ditions improved greatly and they were a lot better than i thought they would be by the time i arrived faye rosenberger in somalia once in a while you would hear gun shots especial ly at night but people seemed to accept the situation for the past two years this is all they have known the day before she and her companions left howev er there was a lot of fear fighting had broken out and when the aid workers arrived at the school they found that frightened parents had taken their children home at one point her team almost drove straight into the thick of the fighting said rosenberger people were telling us to turn back but they were talking to us in somali and we didnt understand what they were saying it was she admitted a frightening experience when we found it was safe to travel the streets again they were totally deserted you kept expecting that someone might shoot at you at any moment after they left somalia they travelled to northern uganda where she was struck by the poverty and the struggle for survival which are part of everyday life for the population they live in mud huts and grow food to survive we went there on a different mission for the purpose of evangelism rosenberger said we worked with peo ple showing them the film about jesus the area receives few visitors she pointed out because its so difficult to get there the roads are hor rendous but the welcome the team received was wonderful she added they treated us like returning heroes they kept saying thank you so much for coming we are so blessed by your visit she described both the somalis and the sudanese refugees they met in northern uganda as very warm accepting and giving of themselves they didnt focus on themselves the way people in our culture do while they were there the group slept in mud huts living the simple life of their hosts it was a humbling experience said rosenberger who hopes to return and continue her work in the area meanwhile she is spending her second summer working at the canadian blind mission on stouffville road while she considers her immediate future ill probably go to bible college in the fall or else ill stay in stouffville and work for the year she concluded miiiiunm hh i lfajikl mvmumthnvmtk
