"I know ou have to build houses buýtÏ don't think this is the rigft place for it.» As of last Thursday, Edgar had not yet received a reply to her Nov. 28 letter to Swarbrick. On Monday, a letter from Michael Johnson, manager of the ministi's archaeology and heri- tage plannmng unit, arrived at the. Mississaua' Port Perry office. In his letter, Johnson said the ministry has been involved with the development application smnce 1989 and that a "heritage resource assessment» of the area was conducted at Rosels expense. The assessment resulted ini a «number of archaeological sites» being documented, Johnson states. «The developers have agreed that the majority of these will flot be affected by. the develop- ment proposai as they lie withmn the buffr zone next to the marsh,»he said. However some sites will be affected, JohÎson adds. «Those archaeological sites which will be impacted have been investigated i detail lýr the consultant archaeologists, he Tree pick-up Curbside pick-up of Christmas trees began this week in Whitby and continues next week.

'Mhe developers and the con- servation authority have agreed that (a) stor about the earlier occupants o the area will be included in an interpretative pro- gram.n Edgar could not be reached for comment late Monday afternoon. In an earlier interview, Peter Carruthers of Johnson's office, said any artifacts in the develop- ment area were excavated and are in the consultant's posses- sion. They will be included as part Of an "interpretative program» of exhibits and informational pla- ques listing the various animaIs and plants living in the marsh, as well as its former human occupants. Carruthers said- no traces of ancient burial grounds have been discovered te, date. He agreed with Johnson that most of the inaterial is in no danger. «Oeof th e conditions for our approval was that an assessment be done te avoid the impact of development and the lessening of it: im at where it does occur,» «To the best of my knowledge, those conditions have been com- plied with.» Although not willingf to com- ment specifically on t he Lynde Shores proposai until she has seen a copy of the development pIlns, Jane Beecroft, chair of Te Society of Heritage Asso- ciates, shared Edgar's concerns. "The publIc's appreciation of aboriginal heritage is growing,» saici tseecrot. "We've been active with the FIrst Nations with respect te a number of things.» Perserving a community's his- tor is "everybody's business,» said Beecroft.

And when I conmplained to the publisher ... well, that's how I ended u resurrecting this column. Lvngwri tten something similar for -the late and somewhat lamented shawa Times, I know what I am getting into. Althou h there are enough things hap pening te easily fill a weekly column, qettingYthat information isn't always easy. So If youhave any news or an announcement, call me at 655-4398 or fax 655-5888. I asked our re-eiected north ward councillor Don Mitchell to give his view of what will be comning Up this year. Here are some of the things we talked about. DONUT SHOFS The closure of the Esso and Wilson's service stations marks the end of an era. Brooklin residents can no longer get their cars repaired in the village for the first time in a long time. But to compensate for that loss, the village gets two donut shops (the Beaver gras station on the corner of Winchester and Baldwin has applied for one). That is progress, it seems. DOWNTOWN STUDY In order to preserve the character of downtown, a consultant will be hired shortly te conduct a series of meetings with the public and local businesses. The consultant will then produce a set of guidelines for redevelopment. Maintenance of the traditional rural character and figuring out what to do about parking are two concerns that will be addressed say Mitchell. The public meetings are expected to be held in ear1f' spring. COMMUNITY CARE The Town has made a commitment te install an elevator to gv handicapped persons access to the buildi'ng. The Brooklin Lions h ave promised to pyhaîf of the $402000 to $50,000 cost. Mitchell says it should be completed either this year or next. SEWER CONSTRUCTION With the coming of spring, the whole downtown area will be a mess of mud and construction vehicles. Baldwin, as a main highway, -'will remain open, but likely only one or. two lanes. A temporary cement wall will block off the east side of Baldwin where the sewer-line will be laid. Obviously this is going to create problems for businesses there. Access and parking being but two of the major problems. Mitchell thinks it will take several months bofore things are normal again downtown. 95 agenda OTHER CONSTRUCTION North Street residents weren't too happy to learn that the Town does not have enough money te instaîl storm sewers. "They have a very. high water table there and it is causing real problema," acknowledged Mitchel.L He ho es te get council te apree to, set aside funrto build a storm seweie sometime in the future. Way Road residents have been complaining about their drinking water quality for years and it is hoped that the Region responsible for water services, will addres lis. Mitchell says they have not yet, made- a firmn cornmitment as to when the water lines will be "looped." MIJSHOOMSÈINASHIUEN The odours from the newly opened Greenwood Mushroom Farm can be very pungent at times, say residents. Mitchell has spoken with Mack Snobelen, one of the partners of the farm, and hie says Greenwood is bringing in experts te help deal with the problem. The odouýr resuits from a large outdoor composting operation that isn't working properly. ASHBURN, MYRTLE ROADS Mitchell wants to know what people think about the idea of having sidewalks on the west side of Ashburn from the general store te the park entrance, and on the south side of Myrtle Road east of the store. At the very busy intersection of Myrtie Road and Highway 12, the Town has asked the Province to instaîl a yellow flashing light on Highway 12. FINANCE CHAIR Mitchell will chair the Town's finance committee and says that one or two new ice pads at Iroquois will be hi gh on the agenda. By the way, expansion of t he Luther Vipond arena was considered but it just woul dn't work on the existing property. EAST VICTORY In yet another historic contest on ice the East prevailed 8-7 during the annual hast- West hockey championship during the Christmas break. Mitchell says that the final score was in dispute -- but then hie played for the losers. LI]BRARY HOURS Funding cutbacks have forced a reduction in the hours the Brooklin branch will be open. The new hours are: Tuesday and Wednesdays froin noon te 8 p.m., and Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.xn. to 5p. This wilaffect some of the school programs and other mong users. Even worse, the ever cheerful Lind will be transferred te the main branch. Wl meets for Yule potluck Brooklin Women's Institute menibers gatherd Dec.21 for a meeting and hristms potluck luncheon.
