ltv Animals attend church for blessing of pets Christlike Through him Jesus told us things that didnt get into the tradition which began in the 13th century with St Fran cis of Assisi will be carried on Sunday when Barries Trinity Anglican Church conducts its annual blessing of pets The pm service is designed to emphasize the intrinsic goodness of creation says Rev John Speers rector of the church Services in the past have drawn as many as 50 pets rang ing from goldfish to horses Mr Speers says However St Giles Anglican Church which has participated in the service in past years has dropped out because of activities of its own so attendance may fall some what BY THE DOOR All the pets will come into the church for the service except for horses and ponies which will linger near the door The halfhour service will in clude singing of St Francis Canticle of the Sun and recita tion of his prayer film strip on his life will probably be shown as well and par ishioner dressed as Fran ciscan friar will be on hand At the end youngsters and adults will file through the church porch introduce their pets and get them blessed Mr Speers says the service is terribly necessary kind of corrective to tendency among Christians to concen trate solely on the doctrine of redemption and ignore the doc trine of creation Jesus did not merely wander into the world find bunch of sinners and redeem them Mr Speers says the story begins with God creating the world and continually delighting in it He says the service stresses the organic unity of Gods crea tion Children fell this organic unity and think they lose this as they grow up he says He also says he considers it important for youngsters to learn about St Francis whom he describes as incredibly New Testament says Mr Speers STAY T0 PRAY Mr Speers says some people are shocked at the idea of let ting animals into the church and say the service is sacrilege cant see why he says Theyre Gods creatures None of the opposition however comes from his own congregation its an optional service and they dont need to come if they dont want Moreover he says some peo ple come to scoff but stay to pray Mr Speers says he has held the service about dozen times in three parishes This years service is his f0urth in Barrie The service is held each year on the Sunday nearest Oct St Francis feast day The date is also observed as world animal day by

Treatment not same mayor gets review Whats the difference bet ween sea food restaurant on Bradford Street and vacant building on Bayfield Street Mayor Dorian Parker says the planning board is making fish of one and fowl of the other Mayor Parker complained Tuesday night the board is not treating two rezoning applica tions for the buildings in the same way The board is holding public meeting for the Bayfield Street building owned by Benmore Construction Ltd The building is zoned service commercial which does not permit any retail stores but it does permit offices res taurants taverns funeral homes and banks These are not acceptable says the owner because most of Bayfield Street north of Highway 400 filled with this type of use Clients are hard to find so the owner wants to have retail uses allowed Benmore wants site plan rezoning with restricted retail uses including neighborhood milkvariety store meat fresh fruit vegetables drugs book or card plant and florist stores allowed In an attempt to get the re zoning Benmore has devised traffic pattern which only allows one entrance from Bayfield Street and an en tranceexit on Cundles Road OKAY BLT Thats okay with Mayor Parker but what about the sea food restaurant on the north west corner of Bradford and Victoria streets The board decided it could not consider including tavern in the list of uses for local com mercial which permits retail stores The board suggested the owners of Barrie Sea Foods have complete rezoning to service commercial which allows taverns But the restaurant also has smart retail outlet for fish and seafood Rick Bates zoning ad ministrator said the city would probably not charge the owners with zoning infraction be cause it is an accessory use to the restaurant Mayor Parker wanted to know why the city could not use site plan and include the tavern in the local commercial zoning on this location Rick Jones city planner said the city recently had the local commercial zoning amended by the Ontario Municipal Board to delete taverns Prior to the fall of 1975 taverns were included in the list of permitted uses in the zone The mayor said she could not understand why the board could permit six additions to the list of uses for Benmore Construction but could not add one use for Barrie Sea Foods The board agreed and asked the planning department to review the situation Mayor Opposing changes for condominium garbage Condominium townhouse rc sidcnts may get financial break from the city for garbage collection But not if Mayor Dorian Parker has her way Mayor Parker strongly op posed proposed change in the citys garbage collection policy for condominium townhouse subdivisions The city planning depart ment is recommending in cluding the subdivisions in the city twiceweekly garbage col lection Now residents pay taxes for the garbage collection but never see the city garbage trucks in the subdivision They pay second time for contract between garbage disposal company and the con dominium corporation can see it leading to all sorts of things the city being asked to do including snow clearing she said By golly were setting very dangerous precedent PROBLEMS Mayor Parker said the townhouse residents pay reduced tax rate because the do not have city services suc as garbage collection and snow removal Are you prepared to set some precedent for snow plow ing she asked the board members can see all sorts of problems The mayor asked the plann ing department for set of tax figures comparing rates paid by singlefamilydetached house owners and condominium townhouse owners City taking steps on city junk yard Barrie zoning department is taking steps to clean up junk yard in the west of thecity Rick Bates zoning admin istralor told the planning board Tuesday night the junk yard contravenes citys zon ing bylaw passed in 1909 feel it does violate the zon ing bylaw he said The junk yard is operated by Northern Salvage Disposal To and Ilalton Auto Supply at 417 423 433 and 437 Dunlop St West According to the zoning bylaw salvage yards and junk yards other than automotive wrecking yards are not permit ted irr Barrie The land is zoned for heavy industrial use Mr Bates said the land is owned by Ilenry Schaffer Salomea and George Weisz and is rented to the salvage com party It is evident that the storage of scrap materials of these four lots came after the passing of our present zoning bylaw Mr Bates said in report If the operation started before the bylaw was passed it could continue business as nonconforming use Mr Bates said usually zoning infringmcnts are an ad ministrative concern but city council had ordered an in vestigation on the salva use He said council ask him to report to the planning board He said he would notify the company that it is violating the zoning and if the operation does not comply the city will go to court The board deferred decision on the policy change until the lanning department can supp comparison figures for tax rates Rick Jones city planner told the board number of its members were concerned dur ing earlier condominium townshouse discussions that residents paid taxes but did not receive the services Mr Jones said the residents do pay slightly reduced tax rate because they live in medium density subdivision They do get break but not that much he said The houses are assessed as in medium density areas IF THEY PAY Lorne Power board member said he wants to see the com parison figures but if the residents are paying taxes for garbage collection the city should prvide it dont give hoot if were setting precedent or not if its good one he said In report to the board Mr Jones said the department asked number of other municipalities for their policies and about half pick up the gar bage The main problem he said is that the city trucks would have to use private roads in the con dominium subdivision The con domunium corporation would have to sign release for any damage caused by city trucks he said Mr Jones did not recommend the city start snow removal in medium density subdivisions because of high cost OFFICIAL OPENING The Raggedy Ann Day Care Centre will have its official opening Oct at 1030 am at the
