Whiby Fme Prous, Weckesday, May 17. 1M95 Pa9e 33 Town rejeots no-stopping proposaiinmshooae By John Dujay Residents of Fifewood Crescent have asked Town staff te, make their streeêt a no-stopping zone. During an operations commit- tee meeting Monday night, seven residents attended to voice their opinions on what should be done, te alleviate a serious traffic pro- blem on their street. .u We feel that it bas gone on long enough,» said Denise Julian, who acted as spokesperson for residents. T7hey are angr that parents who pick up addo f their younger children at Glen Dhu Public School, situated on adja- cent Fallingbrook Street, park on Fifewood. Julian said that from ber researcb, she bas noticed about 10 te 30 vehicles park on their street four times a day (te accom- modate the morning, lunch and aflernoon drop' off and pick-up times). The build-up of cars in the street obstructs the vision of through-traffic motorists, they says. Residents are afraid that this poses a hazard for their children as drivers may not sSe them as they cross the street. Residents also asked commit- tee te, place the signs in the corner of the street where a super-mailbox is located. The combination'of the mailbox and school drop-off compounds park- ing problems and poses a safety risk for younger children. 'This (no-stepping) may sound like it's a drastic act, but it's the last alternative," said Julian. She presented figures, obtained by the school, stating the Glen Dhu's enroîlmen sbould rise te as many as 1,000 children in five years as a resuit of higher population as well as the implementation ofjunior kmn- dergarten, which is slated te begin in September 1996. What exaoerbates the problem is that parents are usually un- able te send their junior kinder- garten-aged kids alone te school. The committee was presented with a report, prepaedb. public works director W ayne lHancock, that recommended against the no-stepping designation. West ward councillor Judi Longfield agreed, saying, "Simply taking parking fromn your street is not going te solve the problem." She said that if parents cannot park on Fifewood, they will find an alternative in the area. "We have te find a long-term solution, flot only' for your street but for others,"T nngrield toîd residents.. Regional councillor Gerry Emm rocommended that ope- rations committee, and the board organize a joint public meeting. -Wé eogt te, sit down with the lboard of ducation and work this out» 'ho said. R4e blasted school board offi- diais for not having foresight when they build new sehools. H e said that some provision should be made toalow for vehicle traffic. However, in the Glen Dhu case, the school bas been desig- ned .b the board as a walking scho. Parents are strongly urged t walk theiir'children to school and avoid using vehicles. According to the public works report, "Mhe school board posi- tion remains unchanged in that the achool sites were designed te encourage walking aýnd they will not construct facilities on exist- ing sites or'pian for this problem on future sites.» Other suggestions incluu4ed handing out permits te residunnts so they.could park on the str èt. Committee voted to, as1~ the board of education for a "public meeting te solve the problem. As well, committee directed the pub- lic works directer te, look fite the feaSibilitY of erecting no-stepping signe. /11K * Julie BonelloLjA WlFATHER LEO J. AUSTIN Gxood afrernoon, and welcome to Wildcat World. As we ride along the blood-stained trail, we will corne across several fearsome attractions, so please fasten your rup of coffee te the table and keep yvour hands on the newspaper at ail times. Behold our first stop. Here we see the fernale lacrosse players ýounging after a savage match at the Albert ýCollege Invitational Tournainent in Belleville. The feisty feines élayed G.L. Roberts with a 5-3 win, then Donevan 7-6, and ïastly Lorne Park 5-1 te place tbernin the tournamentfinals. Be warned,, these majestic beast.s cruly are animais on the field, se do flot attempt te feed them. However, if by chance you are craving food yourself, do flot hesitate te visit the annual aluxnni-grad luncheon following the tour. For a mere $4, you can enjoy delectable Kentucky Fried Chicken and spoak te former tour guides about their post-Wildcat W orl experiences. In tbe cage te your right is a large pack of junior maie lacroase members. Notice- how they playfully claw- and pounce on one another. It must be, remaining energy from tbeir recent il -- a 10-3 victery over McLaugblin. Admidst the foliage below you lies the female soccer den. Both tbe junior ,ind senior players are in much better spirits than tbey were dur'ing last weok's tour, when both teanis came away severely wounded from battles at the Anderson invitational tournament. But these vicious croatures have exacted revenge since that fateful day; tbe Junior members ravaged Pereyma 3-0 and Denis 0'Connor 5-0, wbile the eider cats, after a 2-2 draw with Pereymia, glashed their way te a 2-1 triumph over Denis O'Connor. Note tbe traces of fresh blood smeared on their fangs. Migbt I remind you that after the tour there wiil aise be an opportunity te take pictures and talk witb our first-year guides about their most enriching journey te the Harbourfront in Toronto'.This yearly voyage has become a tradition anuong the roodes here at Wildcat World, and there are aiways great tales te be told. Moving onward, we corne te a smal clearing. This is mot a designated tourist area; please do not bave your seat. We are riding along tbe prmter of the softball grounds, =hr the dangerous females now sleep, blended perfectly with the grass. .The players are exhausted from their dramnatic struggle against Pickering, whom they cunningly defeated 4-1. However, if these Wildcats wake and find intruders, we shail end up in the sanie sorry state as their opponents.ý Our final attraction of the day- is the mie rugby compýound. No cameras, are allowed, as these brutes 'are the moat ferocious players in the park and are easily agitated. Just days ago they mercilessly slaughtered Ajax 24-O, and already they.are planning to tear apart Pickering for first place in~ the league ... my, it is getting chilly in here. At last, our tour bas corne to an end. We hope you enjoyed your stay here at Wildcat World. On your way out of the park, please visit our souvenir shop, where we have grad gear on sale for near peanuts. Exits can be found to your left and your right by turning the page.
