Tuesday but was sent back to city planning staff for more detailed work Smallest lot frontage allowed for singles under current city zoning standards is 40 feet The change ro osed by Letitia Heights eve ooer Jeff Madden would allow singles on lots designed for semidetached homes In conventional semi detached construction homes are oined by common wall at the ot line Under the Madden roposal each home would have one wall on the lot line and 10foot or smaller Sideyard between wall and property line on the other side and homes would be arran ed so that no twohouses join The proposal got an en

between the houses and the road to keep the smalllot singles from presenting too monotonous an appearance City standards require minimum 25foot setback and most developers put all their homes at the minimum distance to save on sewer and water pipe costs thus creating uniform rows of houses Its Hay Days time beginning Thursday Itll be checkedshirtand bluejeans time starting Thurs day as downtown

ministrative proposal labelled Marxist by the radio station City Clerk Ben Straughan suggested to city council Sept tha the city ask the provincial government to ban opinion polls during election campaigns The recommendation approved by city administrator Gerry Tamblyn was turned down by council with Ald Knowles leading the opposition By ALEX MILLS Summer is over As the warm weather gradually works its way south so do many of the birds Since it happens each fall we often dont appreciate wh at an phenomenon it really is In our age of fantastic scientific knowledge and technology many of the mysteries of bird migration are still unsolved Migration is truly com plex happening in the natural world In National Georgraphics book Animal Behaviour Emlen says of bird migra tion Different species travel in different directions to different places at dif ferent times and for dif ferent reasons This is obvious right here in Simcoe County First dif ferent species do migrate Scientists claim that at least twothirds of the speecies do migrate Scientists claim that at least twothirds of the species summering in Canada and the northern United States travel to the United States south Mexico and Central and South America In the autumn most birds travel north to south but many species fly east to West or west to east at least prior to north to south migra tion For example many arctic ahorebirds of central Canada fly to the Atlantic coast at The editorial mentioned Straughan and Tamblyn by name and praised Knowles and Ald Del Cole another op ponent for securing the defeat of the Marxisttype motion But Ald Knowles told council Monday he was sorry to see his name used in an editorial describing the administrative proposal as Marxist do not consider the clerks and the city administrators motion Marxist in any way he told council The motion was largely aim Nature notes COmplex migration is not appreciated Labrador and proceed south from there BlueJay sized Golden Plover breeding in June and July near Hudson Bay travels east along the arctic coasts of northern Quebec and Labrador to the Canadian Martimes and from there travels across the ocean nonstop to South America DIFFERENT PLACES It is also obvious that dif ferent species travel to dif ferent places Some northern birds such as the Pine Grosbeak generally only come as far south as the latitude of Ontario Other boreal species like the Ruby Crowned Kinglet migrate through our area here near Barrie and spend the winter in the southern United States Still other birds like the taigainhabiting Gray Cheeked Thrush travel beyond the southern border of the United States to spend the winter in tropical areas Believe it or not the autumn migration lasts for almost half year By the middle of July Siincoe Coun ty birdwatchers can see the earliest autumn migrants the arctic shorebirds The movement doesnt really get underwa untilAugustwhen many orebirds and the first songbird migrants start wingingsouth The height of the migration occurs usual about mid September best hawk flights can be seen now most 43 ed at preventing recurrence of last years CKBBsponsored mock election which came under fire from all three mayoral candidates for confus ing city voters The station invited about 2000 city residents to take part in primary vote held nine days before the Dec election The mock vote fell on the same day as real advance poll and two of the locations used were also real polling stations on election day songbirds are on the move and the waterfowl is starting to stage its migration However some non wintering ies are still on the move en the first snow flies here and the last of the waterfowl mi ation doesnt occur until last water bodies freeze in late December FOOD Food is the dynamic entity in nature behind it all Though bird migration is mostly ruled by instinctive processes the food abun dance in any areas affects the migration in any one year and food was probably the most important force in developing the migrational instincts thousands of cen turies ago As sit here at my bedroom window writing this can see evidence of the topic of which have been writing can see White Ihroated
