The objector chose to repre- sent himself.. He was sub- jected to an unnecessary grilling by the city lawyer, unnecessary because the case was well documented and virtually assured to be approved even before the objector made his final speech. Perhaps the solici- tor hoped to discourage him from appearing at an OMR hearing in the future, but robably the opposite will the case. hen first made public, e project generated quite a storm of controversy.

Numerous meetings be- tween Waterloo Mennonite Homes, FACT and Central Mortgage and Housing cul- minated in a 46 unit project covered by Bylaw 79-78. The residents agreed not to ob- ject. In the eyes of the sole objector, who was not a member of the FACT group, they "sold out". The OMB hearing emphasized the un- derlying conflict between home owner and absentee landlord which so often exists in communities. Iron- ically. although distrusted by the families on the street, the non-resident voiced all the feelings or- iginally held by the resi- dents themselves. tenet that senior citizen housing be encouraged in the proximity of the Adult Recreation Centre. George St. residaits and neighbour- ing homeowners formed FACT (Families Against Corporate Takeover) to bat- tle an institution which no matter how worthy its cause, was, they felt, preci- pitating unwanted growth in the area. Planning evidence pre- sented at the hearing was in- teresting. Although nothing has changed except Allen Square and the Senior Ci- tizen home, both supported by the planning staff, Geor- ge Street is now seen by the yonder...right to Winnipeg, Man. The Knights played in the Fort Gary Invitational Tournament. Everyone will be happy to know that our two worst air-sick fliers, Jim Hackett and Mr. Hans- burger, 'survived the plane trip. Since exams are ndw over, a number of clubs started up this week at Blue- vale. The badmintoNclub had a great turnout as it began oranizing winter teams. Mr. Lasmanis held the first geography club meet- mg of the year this week and the recent snowfall enabled the downhill and cOss- country ski clubs to com- mence.
