WHITBY FREB PRESS, WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 27, 1982, PAGE 3 THE CANDIDATES SPEAK North Ward needsfull-time councillor Reveler By ROXANNE REVELER Roxanne Reveler, candidate for North Ward councillpr, has lived in Brooklin for 15 years, and is married with two children. For nine years, she and her husband George have owned and operated Brooklin Home Bakery and Delicatessen. The Revelers' two children are Grant, 14, who attends Anderson Collegiate in Whitby, and 9-year-old Kristen who attends Meadow- Whitby high school students have respond- ed with co-operation in the current custodians strike, the rincipal of Henry Stret High School said Friday. Jenny Beale said Henry Street has not experienced problems that some Oshawa high schools did last week with students creating more litter in support of the strikers. "I think the students are being very co-opera- tive in not creating any more than the inevitable litter that accumu- lates," Beale said. Because of the strike, all community use of the schools has been can- celled. This includes evening programs and scheduled weekend events. The custodians, bus drivers and maintenan- ce workers walked off the job October 18 as a result of a salary dis- pute with the Durham Board of Education. The board offered the members of C.U.P.E. Local 218 a seven per cent pay raise, but the unions wants the full nine per cent allowable under the Ontario gov- ernment's incoming res- traint program. Anderson Colegiate also reports co-opera- tion by most of the stu- dents. "Sure it's a bother crest Public School in Brooklin. Reveler's prime con- cern is that stronger representation on coun- cil is needed for the Nor- th Ward on many issues. To this end, she will devote herself full-time to the position of coun- cillor if elected, having plans to hire extra help in her business during her term. Reveler feels the Nor- th Ward deserves a larger piece of the tax pie. "Whitby does not end at Taunton Road," trying to keep the school clean," principal Fred Parrott said Monday. "But the vast majority of students are handling it well." TREAT WINDOWS WELL Drapes add design and speclal interests to a room. But drapes are an investment - In time, money and crea- tive thought. There- fore, choose your dra- pery fabrics carefully and wisely. K & M Cleaners and the International Fa- bricare Institute, the world-wide trade association for laund- erers and dryclean- ers, offer the follow- ing hints when shopp- ing for draperies: * Read and under- she says. There needs to be upgrading in roads, services and recreation- al facilities. . Reveler believes the Ijorth Ward does not get what it deserves for the taxes it pays to the town of Whitby. "Baseball teams, for example, can't even get on the diamonds because Oshawa and Whitby are using them," Reveler says. She will also look into the feasibility of obtain- ing senior's facilities in- cluding apartments, re- creational facilities, chronic care wards, and medical care. "It is a crying shame that senior citizens, many of whom -have been born and raised in this area, must sell their homes and move -to a strange town simply be- cause there is nowhere for them to go," Reveler says. She would like to see transportation linking the North Ward with the Whitby core. This could be quite feasible now that the GO system ex- pansion has been an- nounced. She also plans to play "watchdog" while the development of Brook- lin is in progress. "Expansion must pro- ceed at a careful pace to ensure that it comple- ments the present town atmosphere and does not contaminate it," says Reveler. "I will keep an eagle eye on development and make sure developers stick to every letter of develóp- ment agreements."

Never select silk for an area which re- ceives constant light exposure. * Lined draperies usually last longer than unlined. * Insulated draper- les with backing material may tend to yellow and deterior- ate from constant light exposure. Once you have selected your draper- ies, have your draper- ies cleaned once a year and vacuum them thoroughly be- tween cleanings. Also, rotate them if possible and protect them from the ele- ments. Sunlight, at- mospheric gases, heat, dirt, grime, moisture, and water will harm your draper- ies. The care and atten- tion you give your dra- peries will allow them the longest possible life. But, they won't last forever. IFI has determined through testing that lined dra- peries should wear for f ive years; unlined, four. "c14 CLeanin ST. ., tWItB 668-2Ent8319amily3 I112 COLBORtNEST.
