PAGE 6, WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1984, WHITBY FREE PRESS Five streets to be repaved at a cost of alrnost $60,000 Five Brooklin streets will receive asphaît overlays later this summer. Last week, Whitby Town Council gave final buildin approval to the work which will cost an estimated $60,000. The five streets to be repaved are: Vipond Rd. (Ferguson Ave. to Montgomery Ave.); Ferguson Ave. (from Hwy. 7 to Vipond Rd.); Campbell- St. - (from Baldwin to Price Sts.); Montgomery Ave.; and, Torian Ave. The recommen- dations were brought forward by public works director Dick Kuwahara as part of the interim report of the Brooklin Pavement Management Study. These five roads will receive their base cour- se of asphaît this year with the final course being put down sometime next year. Kuwahara said in his report that if any money can be saved from the budget provision of $60,000, then a base course of asphaît can also be laid on Garside Ave. and Mitchell Ave. The director said that the final study report should come before council later this year. Br~k1 in Byines By BETTY-JEAN BLYTH Cali 655-3679 with items for tis column HELP WANTED! This column is meant to keep you informed of what's going on around town and if the lack of items in the drop box and phone calîs (nil) mean anything, either you don't need it anymore or everyone has left town for the summer. I'm not sure about the fir- st but I do see the odd person on the street not and then so I know everyone hasn't deserted. Because Brooklin is known for its athletes, I also know there are a lot of soccer, lacrosse and basebali games going on. If the coaches would please get in touch and keep me up-to-date on their teams, I'd be grateful. The players would love to see their names in print and so would all their loyal fans (even if they are just their families). Just drop the latest scores plus who seored what goals, hits or whatever in the drop box inside the IGA, it's sitting there on the windowsill looking sad and forlorn. Or you can caîl me during the day at 666-1133.0 To f111 in the rest of this space you're going to have to put up With a peeve and a story. Firat the peeve - Recently, I saw in a Toronto newspaper an article about a girl who was struck down by a drunk driver when she was just 14 years old. She is now 24 and left a paraplegie. The Supreme Court of Canada rightly awarded her around $500,000, which is little enough to help her get through the rest of her life with a little dignity, heaven knows. But, all she actually got out of this was a paltry $15,000 which barely covered her medical expenses. Now--the Powers-That-Be are arguing about whether the insurance company or the government should pick Up the tab for the rest. Nothing was mentioned about the irresponsible idiot who caused her dilema. It seems to me that the person who hit her is the person whou should be obligated to look after her now, even if it means paying out in instailments for the rest of his or her life. There's much being said lately about giving jail sentences to drunken drivers, but a much better deterrent would be to hit THE CORPORATION *.Cm OFTHE TOWN 0F WHITBY IN THE MATTER 0F THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT, R.S.O. 1980, CHAPTER 337 AND IN THE MATTER 0F THE LANDS AND PREMISES AT THE FOLLOWING MUNICIPAL ADDRESS IN THE PROVINCE 0F ONTARIO NOTICE 0F PASSING0F BY-LAW TAKE NOTICE that the CouncIl of the Corporation of the Town of Whitby has passed By-law No. 1707-84 to designate the following property as them where it reaily hurts- - in their pocket books. Instead of costing the taxpayer money to keep themn incarcerated whlle at the same time paylng, for their folly, they should be made to face up to it themselves and really pay for their mistakes. And now a littie bit of whimsy for a summer evening. . Once upon a time our home was infested with a scruffy littie ruffian usuaily refered to as "the Black Plague'l. In more heated moments he was also designated as your son. This object of family humiliation and ridicule seemed bllssfully unaware of the blight he was forming on the family tree. Ris favorite attire was his older brother's castoffs, a considerably larger brother, I might add. Every time he got a new teacher at sehool I would have to inform her that we were not candidates for charity, that his wardrobe was just own idea 0f sartorial splendour. He also had such an aversion to dlean water and soap that I have the world's largeat collection of grey towels. Every once in a while in order te soak off a layer or two of grime, I would suggest that he give the dog a bath, This helped a llttle but it also resulted in a healthy plumbing bill to clear the clogged drain.- Several times a year we would have his room fumigated. In between I used gallons of room deodorant to help mask the odor of sweaty sneakers and dirty socks - a sort of eau de men's locker room. We considered offering him as a candidate for the next space mission to Mars,. but then our at- mosphere is already polluted enough, isn't it? I began working on a invention of 'a small light- weight portable gas mask. After ail, I had a built in testing ground and figured I could make enough money out of it to move somewhere on the other side of the world where with any luck and favourable winds it would take several years for the stench te catch up with me. Juat about the time I thought I had it perfected, an amazing phenomena occured. He discovered girls! It was like a fairy tale come true where the ugly frog is suddenly turned into a handsomne prince. Before I had >a chance to discover the beautiful princess whose kiss had produced this startling transformation and give her my heart felt gratitude, I discovered that we now had a new problemn. You see, he spends so much time showering and primping that the rest 0f us have to make an appointment to use the bathroom.
