WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY MARCH 26, 1980, PAGE 7 ylines ST. LEO'S - KINDERGARTEN? There has been some response to starting a kindergarten class at St. Leo's School and certain questions have arisen. Q. Will kindergarten be combined with the Grade 1 and 2 class. A. No. If the class is formed it will consist of kindergarten only. If it becomes a mixed junior and senior kindergarten there will be variations in subject content as is the case in other mixed grades. To accommodate the increase there is a possibility of a portable being brought in (probably for the higher grades). Q. How do I become a Separate School Supporter? A. If you are not presently taxed as a Separate School Suppor- ter and either husband or wife (or both) is Catholic, you may obtain a form to change support on your taxes. (I will have some forms available or you may contact the Separate School Board Office at 576-6150). If, however, neither spouse is Catholic you must remain public school supporters. You may contact the Separate School Board if you would like infor- mation about enrolling a child in the Separate School system. Q. Is St. Leo's School closing? A. There is always that possibility. However, I feel, that once we enroll our children in St. Leo's from kindergarten, we'll see the numbers rising in the upper grades in the future. Q. How old does my child have to be to enroll in this class? A. A child entering senior kindergarten must be 5 years old prior to January 1, 1981. To enroll in junior kindergarten he/she must be 4 years old prior to January 1, 1981. If you have any other questions or if you would like to add your child's name to our list, please contact Susan Smith at 655-3932 or Chuck Roche (Separate School Trustee) at 655-4376.

More zone changes protested in Brooklin There is another group of Brooklin residents who have launched a protest against the town's plans to rezone their property. According to the official plan amendment that is presently awaiting council approval, Pearl Street is to be rezoned commercial from residential thereby in- cluding it in the new down- town major commercial area. People who live on the east side of Pearl Street say that including their property in the commercial area will not only destroy the equity that they have built up but would endanger the Lynde Creek that abuts the back of their lots. This group joins a group of Brooklin businessmen who are fighting to retain their commercial designation af- ter being left out of the new commercial centre. These proposed designations are part of the town's plans to allow two developers to expand the hamlet to a population of 10,000 from its present 1,600. Consolidated Building Corporation, one of the developers, has begun to put pressure on the town to allow construction to begin in 1982. The residents say that while they are not opposed to the development, they want the commercial area changed. Donald Parkes, a resident of Pearl Street for 14 years told council in a letter that the designation "would alter drastically the nature of the area." "The proposed boundary has to be of financial con- cern to the residents since it could result in property value changes," he said. Jean Robinson, another homeowner, also told coun- cil in a letter that she was "shocked" at finding out that the street would be in- cluded in the commercial zone. "It is wholly unacceptable to us to have our environ- ment altered by any change in zoning," she said. Council's decision on what the commercial area will look like will be known sometime within the next month. After that, the official plan amendment will be sent to the Region of Durham for its approval. The amendment outlines the commercial area as the 12 acre section north of Cassels Road that is boun- ded to the east and north by Lynde Creek. The design will allow for 100,000 square feet of retail space and parking for 250 Tickets which are $2.50 may be obtained from Jane Baron at 655-4818, Leesa Wagg at 655-3287 or from any of the Kinettes. $500 ELIMINATION DRAW The Brooklin & District Kinsmen are sponsoring an Elimination Draw of $500 with proceeds going to Cystic Fibrosis.
