Council responded by delaying a decision on the matter until the July 11 meeting of council. The neighbor‘s presented council with a 27â€"page document outlining their conâ€" cerns. Claiming to represent all citizens of Waterloo and not just the immediate neighbors, Laird Christie, a resident of 34 Spring St. traced the history of the park since it was acquired in 1890. Laird reminded council "that, at this very time, it is awaiting an official study solely devoted to the future enhancement of Waterloo Park which is two years from its centenary". Laird cited numerous studies stressing "the great importance of the park to the city". Said Laird, "The current proposal to develop a permanent parking lot in the northâ€"east corner of the park and to ‘donate‘ it to Wilfrid Laurier University for roundâ€"theâ€"clock parking eight months of the year is clearly in violation of the intentions, not only of those who have in recent years reviewed the role of the park in the life of the city, but of the generations of citizens before them who have preserved and protected it." Doug Woodley, a resident of 144 Albert St. told council a park user entering the park along Central Street "would encountâ€" er not a green and quiet place, but a mallâ€" type parking lot, and one reserved excluâ€" sievely for most of the year for people who are not even using the park." Woodley also raised concerns that the increased traffic would provide a hazard to nearby school children, as well as cause potential noise and "antiâ€"social" problems at night. Cindy McMenemy, who lives at 91 Fountain St. said she was "angry that an important city resource â€" central parkâ€" land â€" was to be alienated for private parking". McMenemy said she .was also angry Park parking area foes assail council with distinct message Isobel Lawson Chronicle Staff A treasure, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone will find the treasure they seek at the Burnell family garage sale, but the beauty of the massive undertaking is that all the proceeds from the twoâ€"day sale go to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation research. The hours of work, the time and dedication organizing, preparing, arranging, bartering, selling and cleaning is not something that Ken and Marg Burnell have taken lightly. They, along with their daughter Joâ€"Ann Sheridan â€"or the "head kingpin" as her father calls her â€" and Ken‘s sister Ruth Anderson are the backbone behind the sale which is in its ninth year. They are not seeking their treasure from the piles of secondâ€"hand items which they carefully mark and tidyâ€"up; theirs is a sense that they are doing what they can to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, a disease which effects the Burnell‘s 12â€"yearâ€"old grandson Paul. For the last eight years the sale, which contains far more than any single garage could ever possibly hold, was held on the Burnell‘s Ellis Cres. yard. A parking spot within five blocks of the sale was at a premium and some enthusiasts arrived as early as 7 a.m. in their attempt to beat the 9 a.m. rush when the doors open. This year, because of that growth the sale has been moved to Moses Springer arena. Ken admits to a little sadness that the sale has grown beyond what the family can manage alone. He‘s not complaining though, as immense pride is evident in his CF garage sale could be last one lIronic success story "because the matter was being discussed without any reference to the neighborhood which would be affected by the developâ€" ment". Area residents heard of the proposed agreement between the city and the university by reading a university newsâ€" letter. McMenemy suggested the university ‘"ought to justify why it does not wish to utilize (campus green space off King St) to provide parking while asking the city and the adjacent neighborhood to accomodate its professed needs." The "real parking problem" at WLU is that the university attempts to accomoâ€" date demand for parking, rather than try to encourage other modes of transportaâ€" Alfred Bruder does not want a green area in Waterloo park paved to provide parking for Wilfrid Laurier University. The 73 yearâ€"old who has lived at 108 Albert St. since 1949 says the area has too much traffic already. lan Kirkby photo voice as he rhymes off from memory the yearly sale totals; amassing $33,218 from the last eig!'n years. He frankly admits, he worried constantly for fear the weather would be showery. "I was so nervous because you‘re so vulnerable even with tarps."" Only once was there rain and that was not heavy. Merchandise for this year‘s sale, May 13 and 14, is being held and sorted at an Adam‘s Street warehouse. Three days prior to sale time the material, which already amounts to an array of furniture, kitchen goods, appliances, knickâ€"knacks, clothing and baby paraphernaâ€" lia, will be moved to the Lincoin Rd. arena and set on display. Doors to the sale open at 9 a.m. The move means a lot of extra work, concedes Sheridan, who does the gritty, but necessary paper work, runs errands, picks up items and sets the prices. The ideal would be to have warehouse space where the shuffle would not be necessary, she said. For the first time the family is faced with the rental of a facility. While it ends all worries of inclement weather, Sheridan acknowledged other problems have surfaced. Initially, she was told by the city she would be paying $450 per day to rent the arena. Now that figure has dropped to $504 in total, but it all comes off the top of proceeds. â€""I don‘t know what it‘s going to be like," Sheridan says of this year‘s changed format. "I stated on my*(press) releases this was going to be my last year. I don‘t want it "Other universities have come to terms with their ‘innerâ€"city‘ location and Wilfrid Laurier should be encouraged to do likeâ€" wise," said McMenemy. Dr. Andrew Berczi, viceâ€"president of administration at WLU told council "we have a problem and we know it is ours and not yours. So all we ask for is some help while we work on our problem. Berczi noted area residents had also opposed an extension of street parking to help the university cope with a parking space problem. He asked the neighbors, some of whom work at WLU, "What‘s the next obvious step? To force us to acquire land in the neighborhood and turn it into a parking lot?" © tion (Continued on page 2)
