‘ 4 _ Waterioo Chronicie, Wednesday, August 2, 1972 Swept under __ the council rug But Waterloo residents should be encouraged because if two people can persuade developers and planners to make changes, then neighbourâ€" hood groups whose members act altogether may be able to control ‘"progress"‘ in their areas. The women were disappointed that they couldn‘t do more to save the trees or have a tot lot included in the area. Both these requests con:â€" flicted with city policy and it will take more than two people acting in concert before any policies in this city are changed. Then, when the plan of subdivision was subâ€" mitted, the two women submitted an alternative plan. They became involved in meetings with the developer‘s property manager and the chief planner. Several changes in the proposal resulted from their efforts. Published every Wednesday by Fairway Press, a division of Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo Record Ltd. 30 Queen St.. N.. Kitchener Ontario Address correspondence to Waterloo Square Watâ€" erloo Ont. Telephone 744â€"6364. The work in which the women became involved began when Teakwood area residents complainâ€" ed during the winter about Lakeshore Village (Waterloo) Ltd. cutting down trees in the area when a plan of subdivision hadn‘t yet been approâ€" ved. There was no legal recourse but citizens approached the city and the chief planner perâ€" suaded the developer to halt operations. Hopefully the labor council, which assisted in working out the motion passed by Kitchener, will see fit to approach Waterloo promptly and press for action. All concerned residents of the city should take time out to contact the aldermen and express their opinion in no uncertain terms. The work of two women from Lakeshore Vilâ€" lage on the planning of a small subdivision beâ€" tween Teakwood Drive and Bearinger Road has shown that people participation will work, if only to a limited extent at this time. Regardless of these two reasons, council will probably be forced to discuss the subject of strikebreaking sometime soon. If the only probâ€" lem is wording, then full discussion should result if a properly written motion is submitted to council. If it doesn‘t people‘s suspicions of the council‘s attitude will be confirmed. The first time the matter of strikebreaking was considered (on request of the local labor counâ€" cil), the aldermen said it was a provincial matâ€" ter. This time it‘s a legalism. Several aldermen were on the point of discusâ€" sing the motion‘s content but ald. Bob Cruise was insistent on the motion being considered as it was. The others acquiesced. That‘s fine, but inslead of quashing the motion council could have investigated an alternative wording. There wasn‘t even discussion The reason given for rejecting the Kitchener motion was that in one clause, the legal definiâ€" tion of "third party"‘ was weak. This meant that the requested legislative changes would be too ambiguous. The motion came before city council Monday and it was promptly noted and filed. Some people felt this was equivalent to sweeping it under the Waterloo council took an action Monday night which was not only entirely unreal, but it smackâ€" ed of a set up. The City of Kitchener recently passed a motion concerning strikebreakers, moonlighting and picketing during managementâ€"labor disputes. The motion is being circulated to various muniâ€" cipalities in the province. The councils are asked to consider the motion and take the action sugâ€" gested in it of contacting the provincial and federal governments about proposed legislative changes.

The nearest lawnmower, and nearest neighbours, are two hunâ€" dred yards down the road, out of sight and sound. No daily paper, so no cheeky The reason is simple enough. Grandad lives in a handsome stone house about sixty yards from a quiet country road, which you can barely see from the house, hidden as it is behind trees and hedge and shrubs. About four cars and maybe a couple of small trucks and one tractor go by each day. Nor is there any reek of exhaust â€" fumes, _ factory smoke, _ melting _ asphalt, rancid fishâ€"andâ€"chips, or polâ€" luted water. There‘s a radio and teleâ€" vision set and a partyâ€"line telephone, but nobody pays much attention to any of them. On the other hand, there is no roar of traffic, no paperâ€"boy ringing the doorâ€"bell at 7.00 a.m., deâ€" manding his week‘s pay, no honking of horns or squealâ€" ing of tires, no raucous sputâ€" tering of lawnmowers.

In the first half of the year, over 170 bicycles were reported stolen. Nearly one third of them, 55, were stolen in July. Bicycle thefts in the Kitâ€" chenerâ€"Waterloo area are on the upswing according to police reports.

Files of Yesteryear A friend of mine, who runs cattle on the adjacent proâ€" perty, was out counting his beasts one day when he saw a black bear amble across the property south of this, stroll up the fence line and disappear. A couple of years ago, I was looking that way. Out of the orchard, across the pasture and right up to the fence came a buck and a doe. They were â€"perhaps seventy yards from me. We stared at each other in muâ€" tual admiration (at least on my side) for about five minâ€" utes until they tumnmed, flip ped their white tails and gazelled back into the woods without panic. A memorable experience. Across the road from the house, there is a pasture and beyond it a wild apple orchard where the partridge like to feed.
